    BONUS: From Individual AI Wins to Team-Wide Transformation What happens when the leaders we trust to guide transformation become the bottleneck slowing it down? In this episode, Monica Marquez—with 25+ years in people transformation at Goldman Sachs, Google, and beyond—reveals why the old equation of effort equals success is breaking down, and what leaders must unlearn to thrive in the age of AI. The Leadership Crisis Nobody Trained You For "No one ever really teaches you what it really takes to be a leader. You know what you do really well, but how do you help other people do that too? That's when I realized it comes down to becoming a really good leader."   Monica's origin story captures a universal struggle: being promoted for technical excellence, then discovering that leading people requires completely different skills. She spent her career at organizations like Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Ernst & Young, and Google realizing that systems weren't built for everyone—and that the real work of leadership is redesigning those systems to unlock human potential. Today, through her company Flipwork, she helps leaders and teams become what she calls "agentic humans"—people who leverage AI to get ahead rather than getting left behind. The Command and Control Trap "Most leadership development still rewards the command and control archetype. The person who has all the answers, the decisive hero. But AI moves so fast that when you think you've fixed something, it changes the next day. Leaders are starting to become bottlenecks."   The research shows the problem clearly: middle management is where AI adoption stalls. These leaders cling to command and control because relinquishing it feels like losing their value. Worse, they have an unspoken fear of managing AI agents—they don't want to be liable for outputs they don't fully control. Monica reframes this: treat your AI tools like an artificial intern, not artificial intelligence. You wouldn't take an intern's first draft and hand it to leadership. You train them, provide context, and finesse the output. The same discipline applies to LLMs. Rewriting the Success Equation "Effort = success is the old equation. That's pre-AI. The new equation is impact equals success. Output equals success, and impact equals worth."   This might be the most important shift leaders need to make. When tasks that took 4 hours now take 30 minutes, deeply conditioned beliefs about work ethic get threatened. Monica sees leaders questioning their worth because they're producing faster. "I was always taught I have to work twice as hard to get half as far," she shares. "Now what used to take me 10 hours, I can get done in 4. Am I not worthy anymore of being a high performer?" The answer is to measure impact, not effort—and that requires rewiring beliefs that may be decades old. Why Individual AI Adoption Doesn't Scale "Teams are using AI as individual contributors, but they aren't using AI in their actual workflows and the handoffs. That's why leaders are scratching their heads, like, why aren't we seeing the ROI bubble up into the team?"   Here's the gap most organizations miss: individuals save an hour or two per day using AI for personal productivity, but the team never sees compounding benefits. The handoffs between team members remain manual. The friction points persist. Monica's solution is "flip labs"—90-day sprints where teams take one critical workflow, dissect it, and rebuild it with AI. Where can AI handle the $10 tasks so humans can focus on $10,000 decisions? Where should humans remain in the loop? IKEA did this with customer service, retraining displaced workers into design roles. Revenue increased without adding headcount. Leading Through Uncertainty "We're humans wired for certainty, but Agile is a system designed for uncertainty. That's where the behavioral psychology comes in—how do you help people move forward despite the uncertainty?"   The fundamental challenge is biological: our brains seek certainty, but the only certain thing now is that change will come faster than we can adapt. Monica works with teams to create psychologically safe spaces for experimentation—AB testing old workflows against AI-augmented ones, measuring outputs, and learning from failures. "Sometimes we learn more from the failures than we do the successes," she notes. The leaders who create permission for testing and learning will pull ahead; those who demand control will become the bottleneck that slows their entire organization.   About Monica Marquez Monica Marquez is a leadership and workplace AI advisor with 25+ years in people transformation. She coined the "returnship" at Goldman Sachs, helped found Google's Product Inclusion Council, and now guides leaders and teams to adopt AI, agile, and inclusion practices that drive results through her company Flipwork, Inc.   You can connect with Monica Marquez on LinkedIn and subscribe to her Ay, Ay, Ay!

    Episode 397: Hendrik Bessembinder - Constant Leverage & Measuring Investor Outcomes

    In this episode, we welcome back return guest Hank Bessembinder for a deeply analytical conversation spanning leveraged ETFs, volatility, and the future of performance measurement. Hank walks us through his latest research on leveraged single-stock ETFs, clarifying the misunderstood concept of "volatility decay" and decomposing returns into rebalancing effects and frictions. The results are striking: meaningful underperformance relative to simple levered benchmarks, driven by both embedded costs and the mechanics of daily resets. In the second half, we shift gears to a more foundational question: What is a return, really? Hank challenges the dominance of arithmetic averages and even geometric means, arguing that neither truly captures the long-term investor experience. He introduces the concept of the sustainable return—a measure based on the cash flows an investment can support without depleting capital—and outlines how it could reshape academic finance and real-world financial planning. Key Points From This Episode:   (0:01:03) Welcome back to Hank Bessembinder and overview of his recent research. (0:06:16) What "volatility decay" really means—and why the term may be misleading. (0:09:16) Why volatility does not necessarily reduce mean returns in constant leverage ETFs. (0:10:11) Ex-ante decision-making and the wedge between mean and median outcomes. (0:11:26) Single-stock vs. index leveraged ETFs: Similar mechanics, different magnitudes. (0:12:52) Why past research has been so cautionary about long-term use of leveraged ETFs. (0:15:53) How rebalancing costs differ for long and short leveraged products. (0:16:57) The benchmark: Levered buy-and-hold versus constant daily rebalancing. (0:19:46) Empirical results: Long funds underperform by ~0.8% per month; short funds by ~1% per month. (0:21:10) Decomposing underperformance into rebalancing effects and frictions. (0:24:15) The real (though rare) possibility of returns below –100% in leveraged products. (0:27:04) Simulation results over 50 years: Skewness, negative medians, and rebalancing drag. (0:28:38) Why volatility tends to coincide with reversals—and why reversals drive rebalancing costs. (0:31:15) Practical guidance: Who, if anyone, should use leveraged single-stock ETFs. (0:34:58) The limitations of arithmetic means and single-period models. (0:36:55) Why aggregate investors are not buy-and-hold investors. (0:39:17) The shortcomings of arithmetic averages, alphas, and Sharpe ratios for long-horizon measurement. (0:42:38) Why log returns don't solve the core measurement problems. (0:44:56) The case for dollar-weighted returns and the limitations of IRRs. (0:48:18) Modified IRRs and their role in capturing aggregate investor outcomes. (0:50:14) Introducing the sustainable return: Measuring what can be withdrawn without depleting capital. (0:53:22) Expected sustainable return and its close relationship to the geometric mean. (0:56:09) Proportional sustainable return and withdrawal-based performance measurement. (1:00:00) Individual stock returns through the lens of sustainable returns. (1:00:53) Nudging academic finance beyond the "econometric streetlight."

This isn't just in a civilian capacity. As long as there have been warships, cats have served on them around the world. This is a tradition that has extended well into the modern era. At least 12 cats are known to have been present at the D-Day landings in June 1944. There were almost certainly more felines present in those critical early hours than dogs. Cats would continue to have an official presence on Royal Navy vessels until they were officially banned in 1975, and just how rigorously that ban has been enforced remains a question sometimes today. Individual ship's cats have sometimes been the subject of articles, videos and podcasts. What's often not covered in detail though, is why cats were so important on ships, and how ships throughout the ages managed their presence. So today, in this episode, we're going to explore both the history and logistics of one of the most critical elements of naval history - the ship's cat. Do you like our podcast?

    A Jewish Philosophy of Man (E5): The Dialectical Approach to the Individual and the Community

    A Lecture Series by Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik Lecture 5: Delivered January 15, 1959 The two Creation accounts reflect not a split in the text but a split in Man. Judaism has a dialectical view of Man, accepting mutually exclusive positions. Man was created alone as a unique and solitary being, but he was also created in a relationship with the Thou, in a communal existence. Man craves both, opposite modes of existence, oscillating like a pendulum between surging towards relationships with others and withdrawing into oneself. Judaism, unlike Catholicism, allows divorce, because only the kerygmatic side of Man can commit to another person, not the numinous side. We are limited in our ability to connect with other personalities due to the numinous aspect of Man. For numinous Man, the question “who am I” is unanswerable, since the I is an eternal mystery beyond rationalization, like a tune I can feel but that cannot be sung. Judaism insists that the worth of the individual is to be judged not by kerygmatic contributions to the community, but by the very fact that the person exists. The dignity of Man comes from the image of God which is found in numinous, not kerygmatic, Man. Judaism revolutionized social philosophy with this idea, upsetting the Classical view of Man. A series of halakhic laws demonstrates Judaism's “doctrine of idealization of anonymity,” meaning, the chosen-ness of the unknown, forlorn individual. One such law states that if a band of heathens demands the surrender of one person, or else the whole city will be destroyed, we do not turn over the one person, even if that person is a criminal. Another example of such a law is the obligation on whomever finds it to bury an anonymous dead body, even if the High Priest would consequently have to cancel the Yom Kipur atonement service. The uniqueness of each person is the foundation of Judaic ethics. However, the dialectical approach says that although we treat others according to their intrinsic, numinous worth, I myself must not rely on my intrinsic worth but am obligated to contribute to the community. Discussions prompted by audience questions include Holocaust decisions to save only a part of the community by handing over another part, Judaism's attitudes towards war, towards parochialism vs. universalism, towards body and soul, and towards religion and ethics. 00:01:15 Dialectical interpretation of the Creation story in Genesis 00:23:25 Inability of institutions like marriage to commit one's numinous side 00:51:16 Judging the worth of the personality not by kerygma but by numinous existence 01:03:44 Halakhah prohibiting the handing over of one person to save the city 01:07:54 Questions from audience and responses about war and Holocaust situations 01:18:55 Halakhah of finding an anonymous corpse 01:29:45 Questions from audience and responses about radical individualism and other topics Access lecture summaries and course materials at www.TraditionOnline.org/JPMThe post A Jewish Philosophy of Man (E5): The Dialectical Approach to the Individual and the Community first appeared on Tradition Online.

    Did you know that when you ask ChatGPT for a product recommendation, ChatGPT can recommend 50+ different brands for the same prompt?In this episode, we break down Rand Fishkin's latest research on the extreme variance in AI search results across ChatGPT, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. His team gathered 600 volunteers, ran nearly 3,000 queries, and the findings are eye-opening. Here are some key insights:LLMs can share 50 different companies for each product related prompt. The chance of getting the exact same list of brands twice is less than 1%.The top 6 brands are mentioned over 80% of the time. So what does this mean for marketers trying to track their GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) performance? Most AI visibility tools give you a misleading snapshot — you ran one prompt, you showed up, and you think you're winning. But run it again and you might not show up at all.We walk through Rand's key charts and takeaways, explain why "rank" is meaningless in AI results (unlike SEO), and show how the top brands in any category still get mentioned consistently 70-90%+ of the time. Then we hop into Traqer.ai to show how our topic-based GEO approach — running multiple prompt variations per topic — gives you a far more accurate and responsible picture of your actual AI visibility.If you're doing GEO or reporting on AI visibility to leadership, this is a must-watch.

    While we tend to think of biological individuals in terms of paradigmic cases – a dog, a starfish, a bacterium – our ordinary criteria for distinguishing one individual from another are inadequate for making these distinctions in general. If a starfish can literally split itself in two and each half regenerates into a new starfish, why hold that there was just one starfish to begin with rather than many? In The Units of Life: Kinds of Individual in Biology (Oxford UP, 2025), Ellen Clarke defends the idea of evolutionary individuals: units created and maintained by mechanisms that ensure the parts share a common fate. Such individuals enable good evolutionary bookkeeping, in particular our ability to predict which variations in these individuals will enable natural selection to occur. Clarke, an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Leeds, considers the merits of her view in relation to alternatives, how her view explains the emergence of new levels of biological individuality, and how the need for idealization and scientific choice of individual boundaries can avoid conventionalism about biological individuals.

    Yes, That Was 3–0Arsenal make it three points and move on — but not without plenty to dissect. A scrappy afternoon at the Emirates saw the scoreline race ahead of the performance, raising familiar questions about control, rhythm, and how much style really matters at this stage of the season.The pod breaks down a strange opening half hour, the physical nature of Sunderland's approach, and why Arsenal seemed willing to let the game become chaotic before asserting themselves. There's discussion around the pitch conditions, defensive duels, and how Arsenal gradually shifted momentum before finally finding a breakthrough.Attention then turns to the second half, the substitutions that changed the dynamic, and what the goals revealed about Arsenal's pressing, decision-making, and ability to exploit space when it finally appeared. Individual performances are assessed, with particular focus on leadership, midfield responsibility, and how standards are being set — even on days when fluency is missing.In Part Two, it's a full Whip Around the Grounds, including Leeds' control against Forest, Manchester United capitalising on Spurs' self-destruction, Chelsea's penalty-heavy win, Brentford's late drama at Newcastle, and a chaotic collapse at Anfield that reshapes the title conversation.The VARse section returns with a deep dive into another weekend of inconsistency — from reputation-driven red cards to penalty debates, double jeopardy confusion, and where law and common sense continue to collide.Finally, the focus shifts forward. With Brentford away next, the pod looks at mentality, rotation, and how Arsenal navigate a run of fixtures against sides with little left to play for — while the pressure at the top refuses to ease.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:47) - Sunderland Preview & Line-Up Calls(02:50) - Physical Chaos & A Game Going Nowhere(06:39) - The Emirates Pitch(08:48) - 1–0 | Momentum Shift & Zubimendi's Strike(11:32) - Jesus Offside, Nearly 2–0(13:24) - Half-Time: Sloppy, Scrappy, Unconvincing(16:08) - Saliba, Brobbey & the Physical Battle(19:44) - Second-Half: Struggles Continue(21:34) - The Subs That Changed the Game(22:43) - 2–0 | Pressing, Space & Composure(24:23) - Late Control & Game Management(24:38) - 3–0 | Breakaway & Martinelli's Square(27:29) - Post-Match Stats & Performance Reality(30:17) - Results vs Standards Debate(30:56) - Leadership, Rice & Captaincy Noise(32:59) - Part Two — Whip Around the Grounds(33:07) - Leeds Dominate Forest(34:16) - Red Romero Does Old Trafford(35:26) - Bournemouth & Villa Stalemate(36:03) - West Ham Defeat Burnley(36:44) - Everton Come From Behind at Fulham(37:18) - Cole Penalty Hat-Trick at Wolves(38:10) - Newcastle vs Brentford: Five-Goal Thriller(39:22) - M23 Derby Edged by Palace(40:02) - Liverpool Collapse at Anfield vs City(42:22) - VARse: Romero Red — Reputation or Reality?(46:59) - St. James' Park VAR Controversies(51:12) - Anfield Chaos & Inconsistency(56:02) - VAR, Law vs Common Sense(00:59:46) - Is This the Worst Title Defence Ever?

    A symphony is playing in the estuaries of South Carolina—the sounds of shrimp, fish, dolphins, and other creatures. To marine biologists, each sound is like a musical note. Individual notes reveal details about the species that produce them. The symphony reveals the rhythms and health of the complete estuary. Estuaries are shallow regions where rivers meet the sea. They host a wide variety of life. But the waters tend to be murky, so it's hard to see what's going on. So instead, researchers in South Carolina have been listening to estuaries since 2013. They've placed a network of underwater microphones on special platforms. They record the soundscape around the clock, along with water and weather conditions. And there's plenty to hear: the clicks of snapping shrimp…the purring of weakfish…the grunts of black drum…the calls of bottlenose dolphins…the rat-a-tat of silver perch… Scientists use the recordings to learn about the habits of all these species—whether they're more active during the day or at night, for example, or how their activity changes with the seasons. They also learn how each species reacts to hurricanes and other major weather events, as well as human activities, such as boating and underwater construction. The sounds also help scientists understand whether Earth's changing climate is jumbling the notes—perhaps throwing the underwater symphony off-key.

    Send us a textIn this episode, we're joined by environmental policy expert Judith Enck, co-author of The Problem with Plastic and president of Beyond Plastics, for a frank conversation about why plastic recycling has largely failed—and why that failure wasn't an accident.Judith unpacks how the plastics industry has known for decades that recycling doesn't work, while spending millions convincing the public otherwise. We also explore the human and environmental costs of plastic production, from “Cancer Alley” in Louisiana—where petrochemical plants line the Mississippi River—to the growing body of research showing microplastics in our blood, organs, placenta, and breast milk.But this isn't just a story of harm. It's a call to action. The conversation turns toward real, systemic solutions—like policy efforts to reduce single-use plastics, eliminate toxic chemicals in packaging, and invest in reuse and refill systems.The takeaway? Individual choices matter—but lasting change comes when many people work together, imperfectly but persistently, to transform the systems and laws shaping our world.About JudithJudith Enck is a faculty member at Bennington College, where she teaches courses on plastic pollution, and the founder of Beyond Plastics, an organization that works with community leaders and policymakers to reduce plastic pollution. She also leads the college's Environmental Action Fellowship.Appointed by President Obama, Judith served as the longest-tenured Regional Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for Region 2, overseeing environmental protection in New York, New Jersey, eight Tribal Nations, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. She has also held senior roles in New York State government, including Deputy Secretary for the Environment, Policy Advisor to the Attorney General, and Executive Director of Environmental Advocates of New York.A frequent public commentator, Judith appears on WAMC Northeast Public Radio's The Roundtable.

    A restaurant experienced a power outage lasting over an hour and a half. Because of the outage, they decided to close for the rest of the evening, claiming lost revenue from missed dinner service. PLRB weather tools will help us explore outage duration, date and time, location, and eventual cause. As we investigate, we'll encounter an efficient proximate cause issue, the electrical currents exclusion, and a fried squirrel.   Notable Timestamps [ 00:00 ] - The episode sets up a real-world insurance scenario: a restaurant closes after a 90-minute power outage and claims lost revenue, raising questions about cause, duration, and coverage. [ 00:38 ] - Investigating a power outage starts with verifying the exact date, time, duration, location, and cause, all of which are critical inputs for determining whether a claim may be payable. [ 02:29 ] - Using PLRB's power outage report, investigators can search by address and date range, view outages within a one-mile radius, and see results on an interactive map and data table. [ 03:14 ] - Outage data comes from utilities nationwide, gets updated every ten minutes, and covers about 87% of U.S. electric customers. This report helps establish whether an insured location likely lost power. [ 05:04 ] - The report shows outage IDs, UTC timestamps, customer counts, utility names, estimated restoration times, and potentially the confirmed cause, all exportable in a shareable PDF. [ 06:53 ] - Determining the outage cause is essential because many policies distinguish between natural events and artificial causes, which can directly affect coverage decisions. [ 08:19 ] - In this case, investigators found the outage was caused by a squirrel contacting electrical equipment, leading to arcing that damaged a transformer and knocked out power. [ 13:04 ] - The court rejected "but for" causation and made a ruling that did not invalidate the policy exclusion. [ 17:49 ] - Dylan summarized upcoming PLRB Weather/CATs developments.

    438 | The 3 Touchpoints That Create Connection (Staff, Students, Parents) Podcast Description Running a martial arts school isn't just about having a solid curriculum. If people are still drifting away, it's usually not because they suddenly hate kicks—it's because they don't feel attached. In Episode 438 of School Owner Talk, Duane Brumitt and Allie Alberigo break down a simple, practical framework to create real connection (and better retention) through three touchpoints: staff, students, and parents. You'll hear why weekly staff meetings should be the “anchor,” how to keep students from quitting the feelings they used to have, and why parent communication can't be all automation and white noise. Along the way, they share real stories—from Allie getting back on the floor six days a week to Duane's reminder that even a five-year-old using your name can change how you feel. Key Takeaways Connection is measurable. It shows up in retention, culture, fewer fires, and more buy-in. Your staff sets the emotional temperature of the school. If they feel unseen or unclear, it leaks into everything. Students don't quit programs—they quit feelings. The “fun” changes as they progress, so you have to reframe expectations. Routine builds skill, but routine can also create boredom. Your job is to keep repetition without letting it feel stale. Parents tune out when communication becomes constant noise. Automations can support the process, but they can't replace real conversations. Progress has two layers. Parents need to understand both the curriculum/belt cycle and what progress looks like for their child. Action Steps for School Owners 1) Staff Touchpoint: Keep the weekly meeting as the anchor If you already have a weekly staff meeting (60–90 minutes), keep it. Use it to align everyone on: The mission (big picture) The quarterly/monthly focus The weekly focus Then support it with “in-the-moment” touchpoints during the week so the meeting isn't the only time leadership shows up. Use The One Minute Manager framework One Minute Goals: Pick 1–3 clear, observable standards for the week (ex: greet every student by name within the first 10 steps). One Minute Praisings: Catch good behavior fast and name it specifically (“Thanks for picking up the garbage outside—great ownership mindset.”). One Minute Reprimands: Correct quickly, clearly, respectfully, and reset the relationship. Ask what they were thinking, then give the bigger perspective. 2) Student Touchpoint: Make sure they leave feeling seen, successful, and excited A) Use the Three-Time Rule Say their name three times Approach them three times Make eye contact three times Duane's story about “Connor” (a five-year-old who kept using his name) is the reminder: a personal experience matters at every age. B) Teach with a simple structure (and protect confidence) Use the Four Rules of Teaching: Explanation (brief + exciting + includes the goal) Demonstration (ideally by a student close in age/level) Correction (use PCP: Praise–Correct–Praise) Repetition (enough practice while keeping energy high) Also: leave space for students to make mistakes. If you micromanage every rep, they only learn to perform when you're right next to them. C) Disguise repetition so it doesn't feel boring Change the format without changing the goal: Individual, partners, line drills, group work Slow reps, fast reps, ladders, add-on routines A simple win: reduce anxiety by “requiring less” on paper while still teaching more inside the drill. When it's not framed as a huge requirement, students often learn it faster. 3) Parent Touchpoint: Reduce white noise and increase real trust Parents pay, decide, and influence the story at home. If you want fewer complaints and better retention, you need consistent connection—especially early. Bring back real check-ins (especially in the first 12 weeks) Automations can remind you what to do, but they can't replace: Phone calls Face-to-face progress checks Real conversations that include curriculum progress and personal progress A practical approach: schedule progress check-ins every couple of weeks through the first belt cycle, then set expectations that communication changes (but doesn't disappear) after that. Make communication easy to consume Keep messages short and scannable Break up text visually (2–3 sentences per paragraph) Consider one “home base” where parents can always find info (like your app) And when you're frustrated? Do what Allie does: write the email, then run it through AI to make it calm, positive, and motivational before you hit send. Additional Resources Mentioned The One Minute Manager (book) Anthony Rangel (Martial Art Institute) quote: “You're not good enough to be bored.” Kenny Bigby / Jesse Enkamp (The Karate Nerd) and the concept of “until” Dave Kovar's “Sweat, Smile, Learn” framework Zig Ziglar quote: “Repetition is the mother of learning.”

    In this episode Victoria continues the exploration of leadership through the lens of the High Potential Trait Indicator (HPTI), building on the foundation laid in Part One.The conversation focuses on three critical leadership traits: Risk Approach, Ambiguity Acceptance, and Competitiveness — how they show up in individuals, teams, and organizations, and what happens when these strengths are overplayed. Through real-world examples, candid self-reflection, and DISC personality parallels, Victoria and Heather unpack how leaders navigate uncertainty, make decisions, manage conflict, and balance ambition with collaboration.The episode also introduces the concept of leadership derailers — the ways our greatest strengths can turn into liabilities when taken too far. By walking through common derailment patterns like perfectionism, aloofness, excessive caution, and passive resistance, listeners are invited into a practical and compassionate discussion about self-awareness and growth.This episode reinforces that leadership isn't about perfection or titles — it's about learning how to adapt, evolve, and lead effectively in everyday moments, both professionally and personally.Episode Timestamps00:00 – Facilitating opposing viewpoints: why more than one thing can be true00:00:32 – Welcome to Discovering You: Where Personality Meets Possibility00:01:00 – Mood check-in and DISC color conversation00:02:15 – Personal context and emotional awareness in leadership00:03:00 – DISC explained through a football analogy00:03:30 – Recap of HPTI and leadership traits from Part One00:04:00 – Trait #4: Risk Approach explained00:04:30 – High vs. low risk approach and DISC connections00:05:00 – Why risk approach matters in leadership00:05:30 – When high risk becomes a liability00:06:00 – How risk approach shows up in teams and groups00:07:00 – Personal reflections on risk tolerance and decision-making00:08:30 – Trait #5: Ambiguity Acceptance defined00:09:00 – Organizational culture and ambiguity tolerance00:09:30 – Leadership performance under uncertainty00:10:00 – The dangers of excessive ambiguity acceptance00:10:45 – Real-world facilitation examples and collaboration00:12:00 – Overplaying strengths and adaptability in business00:13:30 – Trait #6: Competitiveness explained00:14:15 – Healthy vs. unhealthy competitiveness in leadership00:15:00 – Individual and team dynamics around competition00:16:00 – Competing with others vs. competing with yourself00:18:45 – When competitiveness influences participation and motivation00:19:00 – Leadership derailment: when strengths become risks00:19:30 – Overview of the 10 common leadership derailers00:21:00 – Self-reflection: identifying personal derailment patterns00:22:30 – Perfectionism, excessive caution, and leadership awareness00:23:00 – Growth, coaching, and leadership beyond titles00:24:00 – Closing thoughts and how to learn moreIf you're interested in learning more about team building, coaching, strategic hiring and onboarding, let's connect!discoverwhatworks@gmail.com
