How do you grow your revenues without upsetting your existing customers?  In this episode, Colin Shaw and Professor Ryan Hamilton dive into the new book he has written with Anne Wilson, Senior Lecturer at Wharton.  Published by Harvard Business Review Press, the book is called:  The Growth Dilemma: Managing Your Brand When Different Customers Want Different Things Available here: https://bit.ly/3ZCN2wD Professor Ryan Hamilton reveal how brand growth often gets derailed not by bad strategy, but by insufficient attention to how your customer segments relate to each other. You may think your audiences are living on separate islands, but spoiler alert: they're not. They're watching each other, seeing what the other does, and sometimes they don't like it and will move elsewhere.  From Crocs to Prius to the Bud Light fiasco (and yes, even neo-Nazis in New Balance sneakers), this episode pulls no punches. It's a fast-paced, funny, and brutally honest look at why many brands fail to grow—and how you can avoid becoming the following cautionary tale.

How can law firm partners get better at business development, given how important it's become to their work? That's the subject of “The Activator Advantage: What Today's Rainmakers Do Differently,” published by the Harvard Business Review Press. Orrick chairman Mitch Zuklie described the book as “groundbreaking for our rising stars, helping them understand what our most successful partners do.”Last month, I interviewed Dr. Matthew Dixon, the book's lead author and a co-founder of DCM Insights, a growth consultancy for professional-services firms. Although not a lawyer by training (he holds a Ph.D in political economy), Dixon has spent countless hours with lawyers over the years, advising them and other providers of professional services on how to excel at business development.To write “The Activator Advantage,” Dixon and his co-authors conducted what they called the “Rainmaker Genome Project.” They surveyed almost 3,000 individuals at more than 40 professional-services firms—with lawyers, at 39% of respondents, constituting the largest cohort in the study—to understand their approaches to business development.Here's what they learned—along with practical advice for how to apply their research findings to your own efforts at business development.

In this incredible episode we're discussing The Power of Mattering with Zach Mercurio. We admire Zach's work, so much so he's officially our first repeat guest on We Are Human Leaders! His poignant new book The Power of Mattering: How Leaders Can Create a Culture of Significance is arguably one of the most needed in the world right now!In this conversation Zach shares with us the damning data on the state of work–despite the billions of dollars of investment made in employee engagement, retention, wellbeing, belonging, you name it–we're more disengaged and unhappy than ever before. Why? Well because despite it all, we still don't feel like we truly matter. And this is an innate human need that can't be overlooked.Zach shares that “honing the skills to create a culture of significance is at the heart of revitalizing the health of our workplaces and workers.” We couldn't agree more. Mattering is much more than a means to create productivity and engagement at work. It's a way of making sure everyone knows that they are innately needed, unique and what they do matters to others. Mattering is a fundamental human needs for all of us, and for that reason alone should be motivation to prioritise it.Learn more about Zach Mercurio, and find his latest book here:Find Zach Mercurio on LinkedIn.Get your copy of The Power of Mattering: How Leaders Can Create a Culture of Significance from Harvard Business Review Press here.

Our guest for this episode is Auden Schendler, the author of a new book called “Terrible Beauty: Reckoning with Climate Complicity and Rediscovering our Soul”. Published by Harvard Business Review Press, it is part memoir, part reflection, and part prescription from 30 years of working in corporate sustainability. If you aren't familiar with Auden, he learned about corporate sustainability at the Rocky Mountain Institute, which was co-founded by Amory Lovins, who was named one of the world's most influential people by Time in 2009 and considered the Einstein of energy efficiency. Auden then moved on to Aspen Ski Company where he worked from 1999 to earlier this year as its Vice President and then Senior Vice President of Sustainability. He's been named a "climate innovator" by TIME magazine and a "climate saver" by the EPA.In this episode, we talk about Auden's journey from growing up in New Jersey during the environmental decay of the 1970s and spending time with extended family in North Dakota - a place where we found the natural world as a refuge - to his work in local politics in Colorado and in the ski industry. Our conversation though centers on the ideas in the book Terrible Beauty. As Auden says "climate changes threatens everything we care about" so we need to be willing to do the hard work as citizens to bring about real change. He also shares a few ideas about how corporate leaders can go beyond corporate sustainability as usual that just upholds our fossil fuel economy to get to a place where they are using the power of their brand to push for systemic change. However, the book is unlike any other sustainability book or article I've ever read. Auden makes a more joyful case about how we be engage our role as citizens to build community and ultimately drive change that allows us all to thrive - as a parent, as a corporate leader or by just contributing to the place we live.You can buy the book at audenschendler.com, and read a few endorsements from people far more noteworthy than me such as Conrad Anker, Bill McKibben and former White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love speaks with Matt Dixon—bestselling author of The Challenger Sale and The Jolt Effect—about his latest research and book, The Activator Advantage: What Today's Rainmakers Do Differently. Based on data from the Rainmaker Genome Project, Matt introduces five rainmaker profiles, highlighting the “Activator” as the most effective. Activators stand out by committing consistently to business development, building broad and deep networks, and proactively delivering value to clients before they even ask for it. Rather than relying on personality, Activators succeed through behavior—habits, systems, and deliberate outreach. Matt explains that Activators aren't just connectors; they transform insights and introductions into meaningful client engagements. They develop daily routines, use platforms like LinkedIn strategically, and focus on helping others as a way of building trust and generating future opportunities. This episode also breaks down three action steps for aspiring rainmakers: plan business development time weekly, expand and engage your network, and proactively share insights that clients didn't know they needed. With data-driven insights and real-world examples, this conversation offers a powerful blueprint for professionals who want to become indispensable advisors.

Growth is essential for businesses. However, new customers with varying needs, preferences, and identities often accompany growth. Worse, these new customers can annoy or alienate your current customers. So, how do you grow without making your current business blow? Today, we explore the central challenge of growth: expanding your customer base without sparking conflicts between different customer segments. Ryan's new book, The Growth Dilemma, which Ryan co-authored with Wharton Senior Lecturer in Marketing Annie Wilson, Ph.D., addresses this dynamic in-depth, and we discuss how companies can better manage these conflicts to keep all customers satisfied and engaged. As brands grow, they tend to attract diverse customer segments with unique expectations and behavior. This diversity can create tensions between groups, especially when one segment's actions or values clash with another's.  For instance, a brand known for its exclusivity may see conflict when a more mainstream audience starts to adopt it, or a company that appeals to one political ideology may face backlash when it attracts customers from an opposing one. We delve into the four main types of conflict that can arise between customer segments and explore solutions for each. For example, these brands dealt with some of them when: Patagonia faced a brand image shift when corporate buyers began over-associating the brand with Wall Street, diverging from Patagonia's environmental ethos. The company responded by limiting corporate orders, thereby preserving its original image. Younger users leave Facebook because their parents' generation heavily uses it. Exclusivity can be key to maintaining engagement from specific age groups or communities on social platforms. New Balance once faced a backlash after a policy stance was misinterpreted by extremist groups, forcing the brand to distance itself from these associations publicly. Ultimately, understanding and managing these potential conflicts requires brands to identify sources of friction early on and employ various strategies to keep segments separate when needed. Segmenting offerings, using sub-brands, or creating distinct product lines are all ways to cater to different groups without diluting brand identity or customer satisfaction.  In this episode, we also offer actionable advice on navigating the complex terrain of customer segments and brand management and setting up companies for smoother, more inclusive growth. Whether you're a business leader or a marketer, this episode is packed with insights into balancing growth with customer harmony, ensuring each segment feels valued without alienating others. This episode also includes ways to: Recognize the importance of managing inter-customer relationships to foster sustainable growth. Understand how Functional Conflicts often arise in omnichannel setups and ways to resolve them. Learn about Brand Image Conflicts and how brands can address image tensions, as Patagonia did. Distinguish between Identity and Ideological Conflicts and why one often influences customer group dynamics more than the other. Gain insights into using segmentation strategies, like sub-brands or distinct service channels, to reduce conflict. Discover how a clear brand identity can attract and repel certain customers and why that might benefit or hinder growth.

Adam Bryant interviewed over 1,000 CEO's. These are the 3 critical skills to running a company. Adam Bryant was a journalist at the New York Times for nearly 18 years. In that time, he interviewed over 1,000 CEOs and found that each one had three key skills that keep their companies, their employees, and themselves, afloat. According to Bryant, being a CEO isn't all private jets and big checks. Since the pandemic, leadership has become even more challenging, as society has turned to companies for direction, support, and even solutions to global issues. Still, founders have found a way to thrive, thanks to these common characteristics.

Today's Building Block: Work (yes, work...) What makes transitions so hard to navigate?  Herminia Ibarra, a thought leader on leadership and career development and author of Working Identity, shares her insights on creating new options as you prepare for your transition to retirement. Herminia Ibarra joins us from London. ________________________ Comments? Leave a voice message here _________________________ Bio Herminia Ibarra is the Charles Handy Professor of Organisational Behaviour at London Business School. Prior to joining LBS, she served on the INSEAD and Harvard Business School faculties. An authority on leadership and career development, Thinkers 50 ranks Herminia among the top management thinkers in the world. She is a member of the World Economic Forum's Expert Network, a judge for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award, a Fellow of the British Academy, and the 2018 recipient of the Academy of Management's Scholar-Practitioner Award for her research's contribution to management practice. Herminia is a member of the London Business School governing body. She chaired the Harvard Business School Visiting Committee, which reports to the university's board of overseers, from 2012 to 2016, having been a member since 2009, and served on the INSEAD board of directors. A native of Cuba, Herminia received her MA and PhD from Yale University, where she was a National Science Fellow. --- A second and updated edition of her groundbreaking book Working Identity was recently published by Harvard Business Review Press. Whether as a daydream or a spoken desire, nearly all of us have entertained the notion of reinventing ourselves. Feeling unfulfilled, burned out, or just plain unhappy with what we're doing, we long to make that leap into the unknown. In this powerful book, Herminia presents a new model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from ‘career experts'. While common wisdom holds that we must first know what we want to do before we can act, Ibarra argues that this advice is backward. Knowing, she says, is the result of doing and experimenting. Based on her in-depth research on professionals and managers in transition, Ibarra outlines an active process of career reinvention that leverages three ways of ‘working identity': experimenting with new professional activities, interacting in new networks of people, and making sense of what is happening to us in light of emerging possibilities. Through engrossing stories, Ibarra reveals a set of guidelines that all successful reinventions share. She explores specific ways that hopeful career changers of any background can. A call to the dreamer in each of us, Working Identity explores the process for crafting a more fulfilling future. ________________________ For More on Herminia Ibarra Website Working Identity by Herminia Ibarra Articles ________________________ Check out our Best Books on Retirement ________________________ Mentioned in This Podcast Episode The HBR Guide to Designing Your Retirement ________________________ Podcast Episodes You May Like The Portfolio Life - Christina Wallace  Are You Ready for The New Long Life? – Andrew Scott Retire Happy - Dr. Catherine Sanderson Why Retirement is About Much More Than Money – Ted Kaufman & Bruce Hiland _________________________ Wise Quotes  On Transitions "Transitions necessarily imply a loss of a sense of identity, a loss of something that has been meaningful and valuable. You're moving away from someone you've been, but the future you isn't clear yet, or the future destination or the next role isn't clear yet. So you're kind of hanging in limbo and that's very uncomfortable. We live in a world in which certainty is valued, know who you are and the nature of this process and part of what makes it productive is questioning who you are, but that's necessarily uncomfortable.

About This EpisodeIn the realm of high performance and personal development, few things resonate more deeply than the pursuit of authenticity and the boldness required to achieve it. Our latest episode featuring Dr. Michael Gervais, a high-performance psychologist, delves into these very concepts, exploring the profound impact of a bold mindset on our capacity to excel in life's various arenas. Michael begins by deconstructing the notion of boldness, presenting it as a deep expression of one's true self, unencumbered by the fear of judgment or failure. Michael also dives into an exploration of mastery and the pivotal role mindset plays in achieving it. He draws an analogy with gravity—an invisible yet undeniable force—emphasizing that mastering a craft is not just about skill execution but about developing a profound understanding of oneself. Michael also discusses the concept of FOPO- fear of other people's opinions- and its effect on boldness and high performance. He delves into the neurological underpinnings of our desire for social acceptance and the psychological tug-of-war between the need for belonging and the pursuit of authenticity. Tune in for an inspiring call to overcome the weight of societal expectations, highlighting the power of truth-telling and the courage required to step into our authentic selves towards peak performance.  About Michael GervaisDr. Michael Gervais is a high-performance psychologist, author and one of the world's leading experts on the relationship between the mind and human performance.

Have you ever suffered from anxiety?We all have anxiety. At best, it gives us energy, drive and ambition, but at its worst it can be debilitating. I haven't met or worked with a leader who isn't anxious. The problem is that not many talk about it privately or even publicly.My guest in this episode, Morra Aarons-Mele, is raising our consciousness, understanding and practices in all things anxiety. We talk about what causes anxiety, where it shows up at work and in life, and what you can do to create a healthier relationship with it.

Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg is the author of ‘What's Your Problem?' which was released by Harvard Business Press. He is also the co-author (with Paddy Miller) of Innovation as Usual, a Harvard Business Review Press book on the art of driving innovation in regular organizations. Thomas has worked with managers in nearly all parts of the globe, including China, India, Russia, Singapore, Britain, France and his native country, Denmark. His research has been featured in Harvard Business Review, The Economist, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph, BBC Radio, Bloomberg Businessweek and the Financial Times. His work on innovation led HR Magazine to recognize him as a “Top 20 International Thinker”. This conversation is a continuation of a string of conversations about work and creating more effective life/work integration. I'm leaning in on this topic because most of us have experienced periods of persistent angst around work, frustration with recurring work problems, and difficulty managing work relationships. This series of episodes delivers practical advice that you can use right away to be more effective and derive more satisfaction from work. This episode deep dives on problem solving which in my opinion is a universally useful skill to develop. As Thomas points out, most of us aren't thinking about problems the right way – something he calls framing – which prevents us from being able to effectively talk about and solve problems. This is a winding conversation filled with useful insight on professional and personal problem solving so It's worth taking notes.

R “Ray” Wang is everywhere. Turn on a TV and you'll see him regularly on CNBC, Bloomberg, Fox Business. Open an article and you'll see him in the Wall Street Journal. He coined the term “Metaverse Economy.” He's the most prolific analyst out there. But there's a reason I wanted to talk to Ray today. There's a crispness, a clarity to Ray's outlook on anything but especially big tech. And as we navigate the economic, ethical and geopolitical waters of AI, there's probably no one more succinct to make the complex sound more comfortable.  The CEO of Silicon Valley based Constellation Research also co-hosts DisrupTV, a weekly enterprise tech and leadership webcast that averages 50,000 views per episode. His ground-breaking best-selling book on digital transformation, Disrupting Digital Business, was published by Harvard Business Review Press in 2015.

In this edition of Entrepreneurial Appetite's Black Book Discussions, we bring you a conversation with Dr. Kelly Richmond Pope, author of Fool Me Once: Scams, Stories, and Secrets from the Trillion Dollar Fraud Industry.About the book: A riveting look at the perpetrators, victims, and whistleblowers behind financial crimes, from forensic accounting expert and documentarian Kelly Richmond Pope. Have you ever wondered why Bernie Madoff thought he could brazenly steal his clients' money? Or why investors were so easily duped by Elizabeth Holmes? Or how courageous people like Jeffrey Wigand are willing to become whistleblowers and put their careers on the line? Fraud is everywhere, from Nigerian "princes," embezzlers, and Ponzi schemers to corporate giants like Enron and Volkswagen. And fraud is costly. Each year, consumers, small businesses, governments, and corporations lose trillions of dollars to financial crime. We're so accustomed to hearing about fraud that our abilities to identify it and speak about it are limited. No more. In "Fool Me Once," renowned forensic accounting expert Kelly Richmond Pope shows fraud in action, uncovering what makes perps tick, victims so gullible, and whistleblowers so morally righteous, while also encouraging us to look at our own behaviors and motivations in the hope of protecting ourselves and our companies. By the time you finish this book, you'll have a better understanding of--and perhaps even compassion for--perpetrators, a renewed connection to victims, and an appreciation for those who blow the whistle. Filled with fascinating stories and insightful analysis, "Fool Me Once" will open your eyes and challenge your thinking. It will inspire you to question your own preconceived notions about fraud. It will challenge your beliefs about yourself and other people. And it will help you understand a phenomenon that most of us fail to grasp--until it's too late.About the author: Kelly Richmond Pope is the Dr. Barry Jay Epstein Endowed Professor of Forensic Accounting at DePaul University. Pope is a nationally recognized expert in risk, forensic accounting and white-collar crime research, and an award-winning educator, researcher, author and documentary filmmaker. She teaches managerial and forensic accounting to undergraduate and graduate students. She's the author of "Fool Me Once: Scams, Stories and Secrets from the Trillion-Dollar Fraud Industry" (Harvard Business Review Press, March 2023), which was named one of the "40 Nonfiction Books to Watch Out for in 2023" by the Next Big Idea Book Club.Support the show

Thinking and doing. With big issues like gender and race, action both thinking and action are critical in driving change. “We talk a lot about doing in the book,” Beth notes. “There are thinking, feeling, and doing questions at the end of each chapter.” What's one thing you can do right now on these big issues of gender and race? I thought I'd asked Beth a hardball question but she knocked it out of the park with not one but two things you can do. “The lowest hanging fruit is looking at where you get your news and who you follow on social media.
