Authentic Leadership and People-First Culture with Chris Robinson of Maxwell LeadershipIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Chris Robinson, Executive Vice President of the Maxwell Leadership Institute and founder of chrisrobinsonspeaker.com. Chris shares a transformative approach to leadership rooted in authenticity, empathy, and personal connection. This episode explores how leaders can foster a culture that retains talent, inspires teams, and builds lasting impact by putting people first.Leadership That Connects: How to Build Culture Through Trust and CareChris Robinson believes that effective leadership comes down to three critical questions every team member asks: Can I trust you? Can you help me? Do you care for me? When leaders can genuinely answer “yes” to all three, they foster deeper relationships and stronger organizational cultures. Building trust starts with transparency and consistency, while being helpful means actively supporting team growth with resources, guidance, and encouragement. Most importantly, caring for your team goes beyond metrics—it requires recognizing their aspirations, listening to their concerns, and showing genuine appreciation.The cost of poor leadership, Chris warns, is high—and turnover is just the beginning. Financial losses, low morale, and declining productivity often stem from leaders who fail to connect or invest in their people. He recommends using a “retention calculator” to understand the true cost of losing a team member and encourages proactive practices like stay interviews and real-time feedback to keep teams engaged. Leaders who create a safe, responsive environment ultimately retain top talent and reduce disruption.To build a sustainable, people-first leadership culture, Chris uses tools like the “My Favorite Things” survey—gathering personal insights about team members' interests, motivators, and milestones. Recognizing employees in small but meaningful ways—like remembering birthdays or rewarding them with their favorite treat—creates a culture of appreciation. Consistency is key: leaders must model the behavior they expect, train mid-level managers to do the same, and build common language and values across the organization using proven frameworks like those from John Maxwell.About Chris RobinsonChris Robinson is the Executive Vice President of the Maxwell Leadership Institute, an international speaker, coach, and entrepreneur. He empowers leaders to grow personally and professionally by equipping them with actionable leadership tools and people-first principles that drive real results.About Maxwell LeadershipMaxwell Leadership provides proven leadership development programs based on the teachings of John C.

So, you've built a team… but you're still the one putting out fires, making all the decisions, and carrying the whole business on your back.That's because most leadership models are built top-down. The founder makes the calls. The team waits for direction. And over time, the business becomes more dependent on you—not less.Keith Ferrazzi has spent two decades helping leaders break out of that trap. After coaching thousands of teams and running 3,000+ diagnostics, he found that leadership alone isn't enough. The highest-performing organizations operate through teamship—a shift from hierarchy to shared ownership, where teams push each other higher and drive results together.You might recognize Keith from his bestselling books like Never Eat Alone or Leading Without Authority. His latest book, Never Lead Alone, breaks down the 10 key shifts that help teams lead together, instead of leaning on one person to carry the load.In this episode, we get into what those shifts look like in real life. From peer-to-peer coaching to energy checks to open feedback loops, Keith shares the simple practices that help your team show up, take ownership, and lead alongside you—not behind you.3 of the biggest insights from Keith…#1.) The Peer Coaching Framework That Unlocked 50% Growth at MerrillKeith's 5-5-5 peer-to-peer coaching model helped Merrill Lynch advisors boost net new accounts by 50%—not through top-down management, but by creating safe, structured peer groups that crowdsource solutions and accelerate breakthroughs. It's a repeatable system any advisory team can implement to grow faster and smarter.#2.) Stop Leading Alone—Start Co-ElevatingKeith's newest book, Never Lead Alone, flips traditional leadership on its head. Instead of top-down command, he shows how elite teams grow faster when they hold each other accountable, run energy checks, and give honest feedback without fear. This is how teams co-elevate—and outperform.#3.) Why AI Will Replace Advisors Who Don't EvolveKeith doesn't sugarcoat it—AI is coming for the average advisor. But for those willing to lean in, it's a multiplier. Learn how to become a “black belt” in AI, build smarter communities, and use technology to deepen—not replace—your human relationships.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/127FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: Get copies of Keith's book, "Never Eat Alone" AND "Never Lead Alone" [while supplies last]To get access to today's free gift AND become a DBDL Insider with VIP access to future resources and exclusive content, text "127" to 785-800-3235. *Message and data rates may apply.

What if “growing up” isn't something we outgrow, but a process leaders and organizations must intentionally shape? In this episode, Chris and Mark challenge modern assumptions about adolescence, psychological safety, and leadership development. They unpack why ancient identity rituals mattered, what happens when “being” and “doing” get conflated, and how real impact is more than just making people feel safe. You'll learn why creating space is only half the equation and why high-performance cultures demand more than comfort. You'll hear: Why adolescence is a social invention (and what it means for your team) The hidden risks of overvaluing psychological safety How to separate “who you are” from “what you do” Why leadership means finishing the job, not just starting the conversation The real formula for impact: right motive + right action

Joelle Tegwen: Building High-Performing Teams Through Three Essential Elements Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Joelle identifies three essential characteristics for Scrum Master success: psychological safety, collaboration, and cross-skilling with role blurring. She emphasizes the importance of teams being comfortable with conflict, drawing from Amy Edmondson's work and Google's Project Aristotle research. Her approach involves mapping where a team currently stands and focusing on one of these three characteristics at a time. The key is building relationships where challenging each other becomes positive behavior, being clear about what you're trying to achieve with the team, and regularly checking in for feedback. Success comes from creating an environment where team members can grow beyond their individual silos while maintaining strong collaborative relationships. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Sailboat Retrospective As a consultant frequently joining new teams, Joelle relies on the Sailboat retrospective format to quickly understand where teams are positioned. Teams use the sailboat metaphor to explain their current situation, which gives her rapid insight into their challenges and strengths. This format is particularly valuable because it helps her identify what not to change - understanding what the team considers their strengths prevents well-intentioned interference with what's already working well. The visual metaphor makes it easy for teams to express complex dynamics while providing the facilitator with actionable intelligence for coaching direction. Self-reflection Question: Looking at your current team through the sailboat metaphor, what would you identify as the wind in your sails versus the anchors holding you back, and how might this perspective change your improvement priorities?

Pascal Papathemelis: The Hidden Cost of Removing Scrum Masters from High-Performing Teams Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Pascal shares a cautionary experience with mature Scrum teams that appeared to function flawlessly. These teams demonstrated excellent Scrum practices with minimal impediments, leading management to conclude that Scrum Masters were unnecessary. When management removed all Scrum Masters from the department, the previously high-performing teams began to struggle significantly.  Team members had to absorb the responsibilities previously handled by their Scrum Masters, causing them to lose focus on their core value-creating work. Different teams adopted various approaches to fill the Scrum Master void, but none proved effective. Pascal reflects that the Scrum Masters could have made their value more visible by supporting Product Owners more actively and becoming more involved in team tasks. This experience taught him the importance of demonstrating the ongoing value that Scrum Masters provide, even when teams appear to be self-sufficient. Featured Book of the Week: Learning Out Loud—Community Learning and Networking Pascal draws his greatest inspiration not from a single book, but from active participation in the Agile community. He finds tremendous value in discussions within local communities, networking events, and sparring sessions with colleagues. Pascal particularly benefits from Agile Coaching circles in Helsinki, which provide practical knowledge and insights. He also gains inspiration from Agile conferences, but credits Agile Coaching Camps as having the biggest impact - these 2.5-day open space format events are intense and packed with valuable insights. Pascal recommends that Scrum Masters actively engage with their local Agile communities and attend coaching camps to accelerate their professional development and gain diverse perspectives. Self-reflection Question: How visible is the value you provide as a Scrum Master, and what steps could you take to make your contributions more apparent to your organization?

If you've ever caught yourself thinking, “They should know better” about someone on your team, this episode is for you.In today's episode I break down a trap that many founders and managers fall into: holding secret expectations—unspoken rules that frustrate you when broken but were never actually communicated in the first place.Whether it's scheduling mid-day appointments, not replying fast enough, or showing up unprepared to meetings, these invisible standards hurt performance, erode trust, and create unnecessary team drama.I share real-world examples from my HR consulting work, explain why this dynamic happens (even to the best leaders), and give you a step-by-step guide to setting clear, kind, and actionable team operating procedures that support accountability without micromanaging.What You'll Learn:What “secret expectations” are and how they quietly show up in teamsThe real reason you get frustrated with employees who should know betterHow to turn unspoken assumptions into documented team normsWhy clear operating procedures are essential for scaling effectivelyA framework to reset expectations without eroding trustHow to reflect on your own leadership habits and start freshStay Connected:Connect with me on LinkedinNeed some HR consulting in your business?

Despite its popularity and promise, unfortunately, there are numerous misconceptions about the definition and practice of psychological safety. Inspired by Amy Edmondson's recent article in Harvard Business Review, I dive into the real meaning of psychological safety—it's about cultivating a space where open debates and the free exchange of ideas thrive, not an environment in which conflict or critical feedback is avoided. Discover how focusing on challenging concepts, not individuals, can foster innovation, engagement, and inclusivity within your team. I unpack why conflict and vigorous debate are not only natural but essential components of a psychologically safe environment.But who is responsible for this shared sense of safety? It's not just the leader's job. Drawing from my experiences as an executive coach, I emphasize the importance of bi-directional relationships within teams. Everyone plays a part in creating a safe space. Learn how implementing concrete behaviors and KPIs, while seeking external feedback, can help assess and improve psychological safety. Reflect on your own role and contributions to developing such an environment, not only in your professional sphere but in your personal life as well.What You'll Learn- Debunking common myths about psychological safety.- How to dynamically measure psychological safety within teams.- The impact of psychological safety on innovation and inclusivity.- The importance of shared responsibility in fostering psychological safety.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Misconceptions About Psychological Safety(20:13) – Psychological Safety is a Two-Way StreetKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Psychological Safety, Constructive Conflict, High-Performing Teams, Open Debates, Free Exchange of Ideas, Combatting Misconceptions, Amy Edmondson, Navigating Conflict, Radical Candor, Collective Excellence, CEO Success

This week on The Unbeatable Mind, host Mark Divine dives into another key commitment to forging elite, high performance teams—-respect. It holds the power to unlock massive potential, both in ourselves and those we lead.    Drawing from his Navy SEAL experience, Mark shares compelling stories of leadership, integrity, and collaboration. He highlights what true respect looks like in action, whether it is welcoming new players like the Marines into the Special Operations community, or making tough, high-integrity decisions under pressure.    He provides valuable insight into cultivating authenticity, clarity, and trust, which are the building blocks of genuine respect—-and details why these “soft skills” are true superpowers in today's fast paced world.    Key Takeaways:  Radical Authenticity: Understand why the most respected leaders lead with humility, admit when they're wrong, and always stay real. This creates genuine connection and fosters a culture of mutual respect. Clarity Conquers Pressure: Discover why staying crystal clear on what your values are even when facing political or organizational pressure is key to earning respect. The Shadow Side of Respect: Recognize that true respect comes from embracing vulnerability, owning your flaws, and being transparent about your challenges and setbacks. Respect Leads to Trust & Courage: Notice that by embodying integrity, authenticity, and clarity, leaders create a foundation for organizational trust and collective courage.   Mark Divine is a former Navy SEAL Commander, entrepreneur, and NYT Bestselling author with PhD in Global Leadership and Change who has dedicated his life to unlocking human potential through integrated training in mental toughness, leadership, and physical readiness. Mark's journey began in New York City, where his fascination with eastern philosophy and martial arts set the stage for a transformative path. After a successful stint as a consultant at PriceWaterhouse Coopers, he made the pivotal decision to join the Navy SEALs at 25. Over two decades of service, Mark commanded critical missions globally, retiring as a Commander in 2011. Mark has trained elite organizations including Google, Nike, SpaceX, Boeing, Harvard University, The Olympics, YPO, and many others.Co-founding ventures such as SEALFIT, Unbeatable Mind, LLC, and Coronado Brewing Company have allowed Mark to blend his military expertise with entrepreneurial spirit. SEALFIT, born from his SEAL training insights, revolutionized physical and mental conditioning, impacting diverse groups from executives to athletes.Inspired by his military service, Mark founded the Courage Foundation to support veterans in holistic healing and restoration of purpose. Advocating for mental resilience and compassionate leadership, he aims to impact 100 million lives, fostering a more connected and courageous world.   Mark's Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdivine/   Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@markdivineshow  Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/RealMarkDivine/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sealfit/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/markdivineleadership/   Sponsors and Promotions: Momentous: Head to LiveMomentous.com and use code DIVINE for 35% off your first subscription.  Peak Pure Naturals: Head to PeakNatural.com and use code DIVINE at checkout to give Peak Beets a try for 25% off.
