Podcasts about great leaders

Most leaders have a growth goal, but very few have a growth rhythm. In this episode, we explore why motivation is a terrible strategy for development and why the best leaders don't rely on it. Instead, they build repeatable patterns—daily, weekly, and quarterly—that automate their growth even when they don't feel like showing up.Clay and Adam break down the difference between goals (which have finish lines) and rhythms (which run for life), and share practical techniques for designing habits that actually stick: the Anchor Technique, the Two-Minute Rule, and Environment Design. You'll also get a Leadership Rhythm Audit to evaluate whether your schedule is serving your growth or just your inbox.The truth? You don't rise to the level of your ambition—you fall to the level of your rhythms. Nobody drifts into greatness, but plenty of people drift into burnout. This episode will help you design rhythms that design you.Key Question: If I looked at your calendar for the last seven days, would I see a rhythm of growth, or just a rhythm of reaction?

When you really think about it, there are lots of sounds you used to hear 30 years ago, which have fallen silent in the intervening years. When's the last time you heard a cassette rewind?? EXACTLY. This is the podcast that makes you think those thoughts and confront those feelings in an incredibly engaging way. Plus, The Great Leader gets very, VERY wet. Please send your listener comments to Danny@radiox.co.ukThis week's podcast is dedicated to Lucy & MatthewThank you.

CEOs and Founders often reach a stage in their journey where their Leadership Impact seemingly begins to flatten out. The big leaps they made earlier start to wither down. At this level, their leadership impact doesn't grow by working any harder, but by leading differently; that is by addressing the nuances, the subtler aspects of leadership - in other words, by elevating their Leadership Presence!Leaders with heightened Leadership Presence generate significant Leadership Impact. They inspire people, influence stakeholders, and grow their Business manifold, creating Positive Outcomes for Themselves, Their People, and the Society at large.Enhancing Leadership Presence create disproportionate increase in their Leadership Impact.One aspect of elevated Leadership Presence is the ability to influence people and outcomes beyond what is conferred by formal authority. Leaders influence team members and stake holders that secures commitment than compliance.Leadership Presence of Great Leaders is felt even in their absence.Also Leaders with Leadership Presence look calm, composed, and involved. They exude warmth and appear inclusive and approachable. They listen, communicate with clarity, brevity, and respect. They simplify things. They appear open, curious, and display a higher sense of emotional awareness.Leadership Presence is not necessarily something we are born with; it's something we learn, it's something we develop.The good news is that we can learn, build, enhance and strengthen our Leadership Presence. And thereby our leadership Impact.A Coach could help leaders enhance their leadership presence.My name is PK NarayananWishing you the best!

In this episode, I sit down with Kevin O'Connell, head coach of the Minnesota Vikings, to talk about the side of leadership most people never see. What do you do when expectations are high, the noise is loud, and the people you lead are looking to you for answers? Kevin shares how leaders create real buy-in, create accountability without breaking confidence, and communicate a vision people actually commit to. If you lead a team and feel the weight of expectations, this conversation will give you a clearer way forward. More from Molly: Get Molly's latest book, Dynamic Drive Website: mollyfletcher.com

Culture doesn't break down because leaders lack effort or good intentions—it breaks down when there's a gap between how leaders show up and how teams experience that leadership.In this episode, Jenni Catron builds on last week's conversation about the Clarity Cascade—mission, vision, strategy, and structure—and takes it one level deeper. The focus shifts from who is on the team to how well leaders are equipping people to fully engage once clarity is in place.Jenni unpacks why self-awareness is one of the strongest predictors of leadership success and how emotional intelligence directly shapes organizational culture. Drawing on research, real-world leadership experience, and the LeadCulture Framework, she explains why competence alone isn't enough—and why leaders must develop both self-awareness and others' awareness to build healthy, high-trust teams.You'll also hear why tools like personality assessments and Patrick Lencioni's Working Genius can be powerful culture-shaping resources when used well—not as labels, but as shared language that improves collaboration, alignment, and momentum.If you've clarified roles, strategy, and structure but still feel like your team is getting stuck, this episode will help you identify what might be missing—and how growing emotional intelligence can unlock the next level of effectiveness.This conversation sets the stage for Jenni's upcoming webinar with Patrick Lencioni, where they'll dive deeper into how Working Genius strengthens teams and accelerates culture health.We need your help to get the LeadCulture podcasts in front of more leaders!

Imagine this. You just wrapped a kickoff meeting.The room was energized. Heads were nodding. People were engaged.Someone even said, “This is exactly what we needed.”You walk out thinking, We're finally aligned. And then… the meeting ends.Everyone goes back to their inbox. Client work takes over. Slack lights up. Deadlines resurface. And within days—sometimes hours—something shifts.Not because the vision wasn't strong.Not because people didn't care. But because reality returned—and the pace of the business reasserted itself.This isn't a people problem. It's a leadership moment.Today, I want to unpack why vision so often loses momentum after the meeting—and what great leaders do differently to make sure it doesn't. Let's dive in.> Links mentioned within

What does it actually mean to lead with authority and empathy, without burning out, people-pleasing, or losing yourself in the process?In this episode, Alisa Cohn sits down with clinical psychologist, parenting expert, and bestselling author Dr. Becky Kennedy to explore why the skills that make great parents also create the strongest leaders.Dr. Becky introduces the concept of sturdy leadership, a grounded approach that rejects both authoritarian control and emotional over-accommodation. Instead, it teaches leaders how to hold boundaries, stay regulated during conflict, and repair relationships when things go sideways.This conversation unpacks why leadership is not about managing everyone's feelings, how guilt often disguises emotional over-responsibility, and why repair after rupture is more powerful than perfection. You'll learn how to handle defensiveness, set boundaries without shame, navigate imposter syndrome, and build trust through consistency and self-leadership.You'll learn:What “sturdy leadership” really means and why authority without aggression builds trustWhy setting boundaries often triggers guilt and how to tell guilt apart from emotional over-responsibilityHow repair strengthens relationships more than getting it right the first timeHow to handle defensiveness, emotional reactions, and resistance at workWhy scripts and practice reps are essential leadership skills, not crutchesHow predictable conflict shows up at work and how to lead through it calmlyWhy imposter syndrome never fully disappears and how to lead anywayWe talk about:00:00 Why parenting is leadership training and why leadership is human work03:45 What sturdy leadership is and why extremes fail06:20 The “sturdy pilot” metaphor and how leaders create safety in turbulence10:30 Authority vs empathy, and why feelings should not dictate decisions14:40 Boundaries, guilt, and emotional over-responsibility at work18:50 Why empathy doesn't mean absorbing other people's emotions22:30 Handling defensiveness and emotional reactions in professional settings31:45 Predictable conflict, patterns, and solving the real issue36:10 Repair after rupture and why it builds trust faster than perfection42:30 How unrepaired moments erode connection and performance45:20 Imposter syndrome, self-leadership, and staying in the driver's seat49:00 What Dr. Becky wishes she had known earlier about growth and leadershipFollow Dr. Becky onInstagramYouTubeTikTokFacebookWebsiteConnect with Alisa!

Send us a textAre you unintentionally moving the goalposts on your team?Many leaders are visionary — full of ideas, strategy, and momentum. But without clear communication, even the strongest vision can create confusion, disengagement, and burnout.In this episode of Get Jasched, Jess Jasch explores one of the most overlooked leadership skills: clearly communicating what you need so your team can actually support you.You'll learn:Why constantly shifting expectations erodes trust and motivationHow to guide your team without micromanagingThe leadership balance between direction and autonomyHow clarity reduces workplace stress and increases performanceWhy business is more personal than we've been taught — and why that mattersJess also connects leadership communication to our personal lives, reminding us that support only becomes possible when we're willing to express what we need.Because whether you're leading a company, a team, or simply your own life — clarity is what turns vision into reality.

We all start life curious. Asking questions. Exploring. Wondering why. Yet somewhere along the way — especially at work — curiosity can begin to fade. Not because we stop caring, but because we're rewarded for certainty, speed, and having the answers. In this episode of Sticky From The Inside, Andy Goram is joined by leadership strategist, researcher, and TEDx speaker Dr Debra Clary to explore why curiosity isn't a “nice-to-have”, it's a leadership superpower. Drawing on decades of experience inside global organisations like Frito-Lay, Coca-Cola, Jack Daniel's, and Humana, Debra shares why curiosity can be learned, measured, and deliberately strengthened. Together, they unpack how curiosity drives performance, engagement, trust, and better decision-making — and why leaders who stop asking questions often unintentionally shut others down. They also explore Debra's research-backed Curiosity Curve, the four drivers of optimal curiosity, and why curiosity matters even more in a fast-moving, AI-driven world. If you care about building teams where people feel seen, heard, and able to contribute, this conversation will change how you think about leadership. ----more---- Key Takeaways Curiosity is learned, not innate. Debra's research shows curiosity can be developed, measured, and strengthened at every level. Certainty kills contribution. When leaders prioritise speed and answers over questions, they unintentionally shut people down. Great leaders play the long game. Asking questions builds confidence, capability, and future leaders — not just short-term efficiency. Curiosity is a human advantage in the AI age. AI delivers answers; humans still need to ask the right questions and apply discernment. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 01:11 – Why curiosity is natural — and why it matters at work 07:57 – “Can curiosity be learned?” The question that changed everything 10:54 – What an Italian train journey taught Debra about certainty 13:36 – “Curiosity killed the cat” — the part we all missed 17:41 – Why disengaged employees feel unseen and unheard 26:15 – The Curiosity Curve explained 34:30 – Why senior leaders score higher on curiosity 38:51 – Curiosity, AI, and discernment 42:49 – Debra's 3 Sticky Notes for curious leadership ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Dr Debra Clary on LinkedIn here Follow Dr Debra Clary on Facebook here Follow Dr Debra Clary on YouTube here Find the Dr Debra Clary's website here Find The Curiosity Curve here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

Managing people and leading them are often treated as the same skill, but the gap between the two is where many organizations stall. In this replay episode, Jeremy Duggan joins the conversation to explore one of the most critical distinctions in business leadership: the difference between driving results and developing people. Drawing on real-world experience scaling multiple companies to billion-dollar valuations, Jeremy unpacks why great leaders prioritize belief, execution, and long-term growth over short-term outcomes, and why vision only works when it's paired with disciplined follow-through. Whether you're struggling to balance leadership with management or looking to elevate your team to extraordinary performance, this conversation reveals the principles that separate good managers from truly great leaders.Jeremy Duggan is the President of Multiverse and an advisor to high-growth technology companies navigating scale.

How Great Leaders Turn Empathy into Power Empathy is praised in leadership—and often quietly punished. In this episode, Jon Rennie is joined by Jess Baker, chartered business psychologist and author of The Super Helper Syndrome, to explore how great leaders turn empathy into real power without being overlooked or burned out. Jess explains why highly empathic professionals are often passed over for leadership roles, even though they're holding teams together behind the scenes. She shows how empathy, when used intentionally, becomes a strategic leadership advantage rather than a career liability. In this conversation, you'll learn: Why empathic leaders get overlooked The difference between empathy, compassion, and effective leadership How to set boundaries without losing your values How empathy can amplify results, energy, and momentum What to do when empathy has helped your career—up to a point Jess also shares practical tools, including leadership dials and the concept of empathic flow, to help leaders protect their energy while leading with confidence.

Steering a company from nascent idea to multi-million dollar revenue is rarely a smooth ride. Often, it's a journey fraught with uncertainty, tough decisions, and the internal battles no one sees. For Nathan, the guiding hand through much of this journey has been his coach, Dan Putt.

We're taught that smart people get the right answer. The gold star. The A+. But Bobby Parmar, professor of business administration at the University of Virginia and author of Radical Doubt: Turning Uncertainty into Surefire Success, argues that this conditioning sabotages our most important decisions. In this episode, Bobby shares why doubt isn't the enemy of good decision-making, it's the foundation. He reveals how to shift from being a “right answer getter” to becoming a “better answer maker,” and the framework he uses to help executives embrace uncertainty as a strategic advantage. You'll learn why embracing doubt can unlock better decisions for you and why the best investors treat uncertainty as their superpower.

What sets great leaders apart in times of crisis and change? In this week's episode, John shares a powerful insight he gained from Chick-fil-A chairman Dan Cathy on the importance of self-awareness and situational awareness for leaders — especially in tough times!  After his lesson, Mark Cole and Chris Goede discuss practical ways to cultivate these awarenesses as a leader. They explore how seeking honest feedback, asking thoughtful questions, and learning from role models can expand your leadership capacity. Key takeaways:  Self-awareness doesn't happen in isolation—it requires the courage to invite feedback from others and the humility to receive it.  Before you can lead yourself effectively, you must first know yourself authentically. Self-awareness precedes situational awareness.  Situational awareness grows through experience, but you can accelerate it by asking "What would a leader I admire do in this situation?" and seeking input from trusted mentors. Our BONUS resource for this episode is the Why Self-Awareness Sets Great Leaders Apart Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.
