Podcasts about leadership gap

What would happen to your business if you stepped away for 30 days?Not a working holiday. A genuine absence. No approvals. No decisions. No you.That question is one of the most accurate diagnostics a leader can run on their organization. Because what your business does without you tells you everything about what your leadership has actually built.In today's episode we break down the three things the 30-day test exposes in every founder-led organization:* Borrowed vs. genuine clarity — whether your organization knows what to do without you there to tell them* Performed vs. real authority — whether your team is actually leading or just waiting for your return* Theoretical vs. real systems — whether your processes actually govern the organization or just exist on paperIf the honest answer to the 30-day question makes you uncomfortable — this episode will show you exactly why.Take the Fulfill Executive Scale Assessment35 questions. Seven pillars. Less than ten minutes.Find out exactly where your leadership is strong and where it is quietly fracturing — before it fractures publicly.

How do you bridge the divide between how leaders show up and what teams truly want? On this week's episode of the Do Good to Lead Well podcast, I sit down with Allison Howell, CEO of Hogan Assessments, to discuss their Leadership Divide Global Report, which draws on the responses from 9,794 employees across 25 countries. The findings challenge the conventional myths about what makes a great leader, and why charisma and ambition are not enough.Allison Howell pulls back the curtain on “emergent” versus “effective” leadership, sharing why the traits that get people promoted often undermine team success. We also dive into one of the other key findings; why the attributes executives display don't match what employees crave, with nearly zero overlap. Critical leadership qualities such as cultivating trust, integrity, and humility, build both teams and organizations up, no matter the cultural context. She also shares concrete examples of the most common derailers in Hogan's research: behaviors that fast-track promotions but quietly undermine trust and morale. Allison also offers a candid look at strategic self-awareness, the value of global perspective, and practical ways any organization can move from bias to balanced judgment.If you're a leader, or an aspiring one, this episode delivers the research and real-world tactics you need to inspire true followership and foster organizational excellence in an era of rapid change.What You'll Learn- The uncomfortable truth about reputation versus identity (and which one actually runs your career).- Emergence versus effectiveness: why the leaders who get promoted aren't the ones teams need.- Why your greatest strength can also become a derailer.- The global trust crisis and the surprising place leaders are best positioned to rebuild it.- Accountability: why employees are saying "you first." - Personality is climate, behavior is weather; what that means for your ability to change.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – What is Leadership?(03:57) - Reputation Versus Identity in Leadership Assessment(06:45) - The Leadership Divide: Key Findings and Surprises(10:49) - Leadership Emergence vs. Leadership Effectiveness(13:08) - Behaviors That Get Leaders Promoted (But Hurt Teams)(20:20) - Closing the Leadership Gap: Individual and Organizational Solutions(28:06) - Balancing Ambition, Confidence, and Humility(34:59) - Can Leadership Skills Be Developed?(38:10) - The Current Context of Leadership Expectations(45:52) - Cultural Differences in Leadership PreferencesKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Hogan Assessments, Personality Assessment, Team Performance, Reputation vs Identity, Emergent Leadership, Leadership Gap, Charismatic Leadership, Strategic Self-Awareness, Leadership Development, Accountability, Integrity, Trust in Leadership, Communication Skills, Humility, Emotional Self-Regulation, Dark Side of Personality, 360 feedback, Global Leadership Trends, Data-Driven Selection, Cross-Cultural Leadership Differences, CEO Success

Ramaphosa's immigration plan faces criticism over leadership gap | Dr Dale McKinley by Radio Islam

Everyone's talking about MSOs. But this isn't really a conversation about MSOs. This week on Lunch Hour Legal Marketing, Conrad Saam and Gyi Tsakalakis take you inside Vista Consulting's "A Seat at the Table" event, where lawyers, operators, bankers, and investors gathered to wrestle with the biggest structural shift in legal in a generation. Conrad and Gyi went with one agenda: filter through the PE noise and find out what all of this actually means for law firm marketing. What they found was more interesting than the headlines. Law firms are being evaluated as branding and marketing companies. Outside capital is chasing firms with diversified case acquisition, strong community relationships, and operational sophistication. And the firms that still can't track cost per case, attribute a lead, or explain their marketing mix? They're increasingly invisible to the people writing the checks. Three guests. Three very different seats at the table. Rob Bordonaro of Nager Romaine & Schneiberg brings a Fortune 50 operator's eye to a legal industry he describes as years behind on process, technology, and leadership development, and explains why that gap is exactly what makes this moment interesting. Jonathan Hawkins of Law Firm GC has brokered these deals from both sides. He breaks down growth capital, why law firm mergers fail, and why private equity has started describing law firms as branding and marketing companies first. Chad Dudley of Dudley DeBosier built the deal that put MSOs on the map for personal injury firms. He explains true cost per case, what makes a firm worth partnering with, why brand means something different than awareness numbers, and why depending on a single marketing channel is just waiting for a failure. If you've been watching this space and wondering what it actually means for your firm's marketing strategy, this is the episode.

In Episode 211 of the Know Your Sh*t podcast, Josh Cadillac sits down with Jen Silva Boucher, speaker, coach, and founder of For The Middle Academy, to discuss one of the most overlooked challenges in business today—the lack of support and training for middle managers.Drawing from more than 20 years of corporate experience, Jen explains why so many managers are promoted based on technical ability rather than leadership skills, and how that disconnect creates communication breakdowns, low morale, and lost productivity. She shares practical strategies for building trust, improving communication, and creating alignment between leadership teams and employees.The conversation dives into the importance of human connection in the workplace, why great leadership starts with caring about people, and how managers can move beyond simply assigning tasks to becoming true coaches, advocates, and leaders for their teams.This episode is a powerful reminder that strong businesses are built on strong relationships, and that leadership is less about authority and more about trust, communication, and helping others succeed.

Return-to-office conversations are often framed around productivity, collaboration and company culture.But what if they are also revealing something about belonging, leadership and whose lives workplaces were originally designed around?In this solo episode, I reflect on the emotional and practical realities many working parents are navigating behind the surface of business as usual.For many professionals, especially parents of young children, the return-to-office conversation is really not about commuting or flexibility. It is about:* How much someone can realistically hold and carry* Identity* Visibility* Ability to sustain* The pressure to continue performing as though life has not fundamentally changed.In this episode, I explore:* Why return-to-office debates feel emotionally charged for many parents* The invisible mental load behind showing up* How workplaces still holding old beliefs* The leadership skills caregiving often develops* Why reduced capacity is not the same as reduced ambition* The connection between belonging and psychological safety at work* What sustainable success might look like across different chapters of life⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave a rating and review!This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered:Can I still grow professionally without working exactly as I used to?And perhaps more importantly:What kind of workplaces will people remain loyal to in the future?

What happens when more than half of nonprofit CEOs leave their roles within the next five years… but most organizations still aren't prepared for succession? The nonprofit sector may be heading toward one of the greatest leadership gaps we've ever seen. The question is not whether the transition is coming. The question is whether your organization will survive it wisely.Today, we talk about it. Because the organizations that survive the next decade well will not necessarily be the organizations with the largest budgets.They will be the organizations that prepare wisely for leadership continuity.

Are we expecting people to lead… without ever teaching them how? In dental practices everywhere, strong team members are promoted into management roles—but without clear systems, protocols, or expectations, they're left to figure it out on their own. The result? Confusion, inconsistency, and leaders who feel stuck, reactive, or overwhelmed. In this episode of Dental Drill Bits, Dana and Sandy unpack one of the biggest gaps in dentistry today: the lack of structure behind leadership. Because the truth is—most managers aren't failing because they're incapable… they're struggling because no one ever showed them what to do next. Together, they break down what happens when structure is missing, why emotional leadership takes over, and how clear systems can transform not just your managers—but your entire practice. You'll also hear: ✔️ Why promoting great employees doesn't automatically create great leaders ✔️ The real reason managers freeze, avoid conflict, or react emotionally ✔️ How inconsistent decision-making quietly breaks trust within your team ✔️ What happens when there are no clear protocols or expectations ✔️ Why bypassing your manager damages authority and team culture ✔️ How to create simple, repeatable systems for handling real situations ✔️ The role structure plays in building confidence, clarity, and accountability Key Takeaway Leadership isn't about personality—it's about structure. When expectations are clear, decisions become easier. Communication improves. Trust builds. And your team begins to operate with confidence instead of confusion. Special Thanks to Our Sponsors:

For this episode, I spoke with Kipp Sorensen, an Executive and Leadership Coach, the founder of Soren Innovations, and creator of the LEAD Stronger framework, on the tendency of companies to invest in tools and processes, but underinvest in the people leading their teams, and how that impacts your long-term success.

There's a leadership gap in our communities...and it's not what you think. It's not about titles. It's not about experience. And it's definitely not about a lack of talent. In this episode of The Found Podcast, I sit down with Melissa Reade, Executive Director of Leader Valley, to talk about the real gap we're seeing in schools, businesses, and communities—and how we can start to fix it. From working with over 12,000 students to equipping current leaders in the workforce, Leader Valley is rethinking how leadership is developed at every stage of life. This conversation is about more than leadership theory. It's about practical, everyday ways we build stronger people, stronger teams, and stronger communities. If you've ever felt like something is missing in how we prepare people to lead…this episode will put language to it. What You'll Hear in This Episode: What the "leadership gap" actually is (and why it's growing) Why technical skills aren't enough anymore How Leader Valley is building leaders from elementary school through adulthood The role of emotional intelligence and communication in leadership What schools are missing and how it impacts the workforce Why community collaboration is the key to long-term change The importance of leading yourself before leading others Melissa's personal story of resilience and leadership through adversity Resources & Links: Leader Valley → https://www.leadervalley.org Leader in Me → https://www.leaderinme.org Connect with Melissa Reade → melissa@leadervalley.org

Is your office manager truly managing—or simply keeping the office running day to day?   This week on Dentistry Unmasked, Brian and Pam are joined by the one and only Dr. Roger Levin, who brings his decades of experience in practice management and dental consulting to a critical (and often overlooked) topic: what it really takes to build an effective office manager.   Too often, office managers are promoted into the role without clear expectations, structured training, or the tools they need to succeed. Dr. Levin breaks down why that happens—and more importantly, how to fix it.   He shares what separates a true manager from an administrator, and how proper training and development can transform an office manager into a confident, competent leader who actively drives practice growth.   If you're a dentist wondering why your team isn't operating at the level you expect—or an office manager looking to step fully into your leadership role—this episode offers practical insight you can put into action immediately.

He unpacks the emotional weight that comes with leaving behind the hands-on work you love, and why that shift can feel more like grief than growth. Jeremiah shares personal experiences—from early days working alongside friends to losing a key team member due to miscommunication—and highlights the hidden tension that builds when leadership roles aren't clearly communicated.The episode breaks down the real responsibilities of running a growing company, from sales and financial management to team leadership and personal development, emphasizing that this “invisible work” is often misunderstood by crews. He also provides practical strategies to close the perception gap with your team through transparency, communication, and appreciation.Ultimately, this conversation is a real, honest look at what it takes to grow a business the right way—without losing your team, your identity, or your passion for the craftSupport the show10% off LMN Software- https://lmncompany.partnerlinks.io/growinggreenpodcastSignup for our Newsletter- https://mailchi.mp/942ae158aff5/newsletter-signupBook A Consult Call-https://stan.store/GrowingGreenPodcastLawntrepreneur Academy-https://www.lawntrepreneuracademy.com/The Landscaping Bookkeeper-https://thelandscapingbookkeeper.com/Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/growinggreenlandscapes/Email-ggreenlandscapes@gmail.comGrowing Green Website- https://www.growinggreenlandscapes.com/

What if the frustration you are feeling right now in your business is not a signal that something is wrong, but evidence that growth is already happening?   In this episode of The C-Suite Mentor podcast, Theresa Cantley explores what it really means to lead through transition and why so many business owners today find themselves navigating what she calls the messy middle, the space between where things used to work and where something new is trying to take shape.   Drawing from her own experience editing her upcoming book, supporting clients through operational decisions, and helping leaders rethink their response to rising costs and rapid technological change, Theresa explains why the messy middle is not something to avoid but something to move through with intention.   Through practical stories about shifting food costs in a restaurant kitchen, a Main Street retailer learning to adapt to new technology, and her own experience being told she might not be cut out for entrepreneurship, she shows how leaders always have a choice during transition. They can react to circumstances and pull back, or they can become solution focused and move forward with clarity.   This episode is a reminder that resilience is not about avoiding uncertainty. It is about building the bridge that carries you, your team, and your customers from where you are today to who you are meant to become next.   Things to Listen For • Why the messy middle is often the clearest sign that growth is already happening • How rising costs and external pressure can reveal opportunities instead of limitations • What the "tomato story" teaches about solution-focused leadership • Why small businesses have advantages larger organizations cannot replicate • How learning new skills during transition strengthens long term resilience • The difference between reacting to change and leading through it • What it means to become the bridge for employees, customers, and communities • Why founders must stay connected to their original vision during uncertainty • How Main Street businesses help stabilize communities during economic shifts • The role resilience plays in moving from current circumstances toward future identity   READY TO UNCOVER THE BLIND SPOT HURTING YOUR SMALL BUSINESS?

This a special podcast episode recorded on 6th March 2026 as part of the Board of Airline Representatives of South Africa Annual Conference.  In the episode, Professor Mohale argues Africa's economic and aviation story is often told by outsiders, calling for Africans to own the narrative and emphasizing leadership defined by vision, courage, and integrity. The discussion contrasts management and leadership, critiques reliance on bureaucracy as a refuge from accountability, and highlights how colonial-era boundaries and continued dependence undermine African prosperity and unity. Erskine frames bureaucracy as a tool of power that can stifle agility, urges regional and continental integration, as evidence of benefits from opening skies and trade. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:29 Meet the Guests 02:39 Live Session Begins 04:48 Who Tells Africas Story? 09:47 Leadership Gap and Reset 14:52 Leadership vs Management 21:13 Bureaucracy and Ownership 25:13 Open Skies Proof Points 27:28 Integration Beyond Borders 33:02 Regional Integration Lessons 36:20 Closing Takeaways

If women don't experiment with AI now, we risk hard-coding today's leadership gaps into tomorrow's technology. In this episode I'm joined by Kendra MacDonald, CEO of Canada's Ocean Supercluster, to explore the intersection of women in leadership, AI readiness, representation, and emerging technology. This conversation goes beyond theory. It tackles the real risks and opportunities facing women leaders as AI, climate tech, and other emerging technologies reshape how leadership works — and who gets to shape the future. In this episode, we discuss: ◾ Why representation in leadership matters more than ever in emerging tech ◾ How AI adoption in the workplace can either reduce or reinforce gender bias ◾ Why women's hesitation to experiment with AI is a leadership issue — not a technical one ◾ What it takes to lead confidently in male-dominated industries like tech and ocean  innovation ◾ How leadership pipelines for women are shaped early — at work, at home, and through education ◾ The role of experimentation, confidence, and visibility in closing the leadership gap Kendra shares her own journey — from stepping away from STEM early in life to leading large-scale innovation and commercialisation — and offers practical insight into how women leaders can engage with AI and emerging tech without needing to be technical experts. If you care about: ✔ women in tech leadership ✔ AI readiness for leaders ✔ gender diversity in leadership ✔ bias in AI algorithms ✔ emerging and sustainable technology this episode is for you.

What happens when leaders are confident about AI, but the people expected to use it are not ready? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Caroline Grant from Slalom Consulting to explore one of the most persistent tensions in enterprise AI adoption right now. Boards and executives are spending more, moving faster, and expecting returns sooner than ever, yet many organizations are struggling to translate that ambition into outcomes that scale.  Caroline brings fresh insight from Slalom's latest research into how leadership, culture, and workforce readiness are shaping what actually happens next. We unpack a clear shift in ownership for AI transformation, with CTOs and CDOs increasingly leading organizational redesign rather than HR. That change reflects how deeply AI now cuts across technology, operations, and business models, but it also introduces new risks.  Caroline explains why sidelining people teams can create blind spots around skills, incentives, and trust, especially as roles evolve and uncertainty grows inside the workforce. The result is what Slalom describes as a growing AI disconnect between executive optimism and day-to-day reality. Despite the noise around job losses, the data tells a more nuanced story. Many organizations are creating new AI-related roles at a pace, yet almost all are facing skills gaps that threaten progress. We talk about why reskilling at scale is now unavoidable, how unclear career paths fuel employee distrust, and why focusing only on technical capability misses the human side of adoption.  Caroline also challenges assumptions about skill priorities, warning that deprioritizing empathy, communication, and change leadership could undermine effective human-AI collaboration. We also dig into ROI expectations, with most UK executives now  expecting returns within two years. Caroline shares why that ambition is achievable, where it breaks down, and why so many organizations remain stuck in pilot mode. From governance and decision rights to culture and leadership behavior, this conversation goes beyond tools and platforms to examine what separates experimentation from fundamental transformation. As AI becomes a test of leadership as much as technology, how are you closing the gap between vision and execution within your organization, and are you building a workforce that can keep pace with change rather than resist it?

In this Diving Deep episode, the 200th of episode of Fixing Healthcare, cohosts Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr explore three interconnected themes: The biggest driver of America's healthcare crisis. The transformative (and still largely untapped) potential of generative AI. The strategic leadership physicians must embrace if they hope to regain control of their profession and the care their patients receive. The show opens with a metaphor Pearl has returned to repeatedly in his writing: healthcare's “invisible gorilla.” Borrowed from classic research on inattentional blindness, the image captures how policymakers, employers and healthcare leaders fixate on insurance mechanics (premiums, subsidies, deductibles) while missing the far larger problem in plain sight: the soaring cost of delivering medical care itself. From there, the conversation traces how this cost crisis ripples across society. Employers struggle to absorb rising premiums. Workers face higher out-of-pocket costs and job instability. Rural hospitals teeter on the edge of closure. And short-term fixes — from benefit design changes to temporary bailouts — fail to address the underlying mathematical problem. The hosts then turn to generative AI, not as a billing or documentation solution, but as a clinical force that could reshape care delivery and tremendously lower costs. They examine how genAI could help clinicians manage exploding medical knowledge, prevent errors, personalize inpatient care and extend high-quality monitoring into patients' homes, particularly for chronic disease. Finally, the episode widens the lens to leadership and strategy. Drawing lessons from Nvidia and the technology sector, Pearl and Corr explore why medicine's fragmented, short-term responses have cost physicians influence and what it would take to rebuild leverage through collaboration, accountability and value-based care. Taken together, the episode sets out to answer a defining question: With pressure mounting across the healthcare system, will medicine act strategically or wait until the crisis leaves no other choice?

In this solo episode, Brandon breaks down one of the most overlooked drivers of team performance: a leader's ability to understand the true nature of the work their function is responsible for. Most leaders want high performance and a great environment, but few achieve it. Brandon argues that the root cause isn't effort, tactics, or leadership style, it's a fundamental misunderstanding of the function, the type of thinking required for the work, and the capabilities of the people doing it.He unpacks why environments get overwhelmed and inconsistent, why the usual fixes don't work, and why two failure modes (overwhelmed people in roles that are too big for them, and high-capability people stuck in roles that are too small) destroy momentum and culture.Brandon shares why leaders must define their function's true responsibility, break down the real cognitive demands of the work, and understand their people at a deeper level. This is the foundation that makes every other leadership practice actually work.Topics Covered• Why overwhelm and inconsistency are symptoms, not causes• The real responsibility of a function inside a business• How leaders collapse different kinds of thinking into “tasks”• Why some people drown and others suffocate• How to define, scope, and assign work correctly• Why capability alignment is the foundation of great culture• What leaders must understand to develop people effectivelyConnect with BrandonLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandonbartneckMusic CreditIntro and outro music – Slow Burn – Kevin MacLeodSubscribe & FollowApple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

Discover your divine wiring and uncover what's REALLY keeping YOU from millions. The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.  And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making.  That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions. This week's MTM Minute is a REWIND based on the full length episode, The Leadership Gap. Dr. Darnyelle delves into the importance of closing the leadership gap to grow your business to seven figures. She emphasizes the need for CEOs to delegate effectively, move away from micromanagement, and lead with clarity, vision, and purpose. Dr. Darnyelle shares powerful insights on empowering your team, trusting your leadership abilities, and creating an environment where team members feel valued and safe. By focusing on leadership development and learning to delegate authority, CEOs can move beyond six-figure limitations and scale to seven figures with grace. This episode provides actionable tips to improve team performance, avoid burnout, and foster a culture of accountability. Leaders who develop their skills will attract more success and grow their businesses exponentially.   This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is "I am closing my leadership gap by stepping into my full potential as a leader, empowering my team and trusting their abilities. I lead with clarity, vision, and purpose, knowing that as I grow, my team and business grow with me. I release the need to micromanage, and instead, I create an environment where my team feels safe, valued, and inspired. I trust in their strengths, delegate effectively, and watch my business thrive as we move to seven figures and beyond."   Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Delegate with Trust: Start by delegating one key task that you have been holding on to. Trust your team member to handle it and provide feedback, not micromanagement. Allow them the space to perform, even if it's not done exactly how you would do it. Hold Clear Team Meetings: Ensure your team understands their role in the broader vision of your business. Hold a meeting to communicate the company's goals, values, and vision for the next 90 days. Make sure everyone knows how their work contributes to the overall success. Invest in Leadership Development: Commit to improving your leadership skills. Read books, attend workshops, and work with a coach who can help you develop better ways to manage and support your team. As you grow as a leader, your business will naturally thrive.   Affirm with me: "I am closing my leadership gap by stepping into my full potential as a leader, empowering my team and trusting their abilities. I lead with clarity, vision, and purpose, knowing that as I grow, my team and business grow with me. I release the need to micromanage, and instead, I create an environment where my team feels safe, valued, and inspired. I trust in their strengths, delegate effectively, and watch my business thrive as we move to seven figures and beyond."   And this week's journal prompts are: "As a leader, I want to empower my team by delegating... and trusting them with..." "The leadership gap I most need to address in my business is... and I can begin closing it by..." "To improve my leadership, I will focus on... and take one step today to create more trust and clarity with my team."   And your prayer of the week: Heavenly Father,   We thank You for the opportunity to grow as leaders in our businesses. Help us to lead with clarity, confidence, and grace. We ask that You guide our actions and decisions, empowering us to delegate with trust and create an environment where our teams feel valued and supported. Lord, we recognize that leadership is a skill we can develop, and we pray for the wisdom and strength to close the leadership gap in our businesses. May we lead with purpose, serve with integrity, and trust that as we grow, our businesses will grow with us.   In Your name, we pray. Amen. Want more of Darnyelle?

Leadership is both a skill and a science. Today's focus is on what happens the day AFTER a promotion. The problem with promotions is that being good at your job and being good at leading people can be two distinctly different skill sets. This episode will change the way you think about leadership development. Ready to learn more? Join us!Noel Massie, former VP of Operations at UPS, discusses intentional leadership and value-based development. In his role at UPS, Massie supported and guided package delivery and logistics services in the US, and he continues to mentor young leaders and supervisors even after his retirement in 2019. Drawing from his 40-year career overseeing 200,000 employees, Massie emphasizes that leadership is about influencing behavior without coercion, and that newly promoted supervisors need structured training rather than being thrown into roles unprepared. His book, Congrats! You've Been Promoted, provides practical frameworks like the “four by five method” for feedback and conflict resolution, targeting frontline leaders who are promoted based on technical skills but lack leadership training. You'll learn how conflict can be handled without raising your voice, why feedback needs a 4:1 ratio to actually work, and the real reason newly promoted supervisors derail within their first year. Show Highlights:Defining leadership: “the ability to influence a group or individual in their behaviors without coercion”Understanding leadership development as a scienceThe problem with the promotion gapTips for helping new leaders succeed:Care about them.Act with some level of daily development.Navigating fairness, ethics, and integrity on your teamTips for effective feedback (motivational and formative in a 4:1 ratio)The “four by five method,” with four perspectives and five levels of intensityUsing metaphors to disarm the circumstances of a conflictUsing mentorship and “sticky development” to train leadersNoel's #1 takeaway: “Invest in your development personally.

Everyone thinks the leadership gap is about skills,strategy, or confidence. But what if the real gap has nothing to do with capability—and everything to do with disconnection?In this episode, we explore the truth that women aren'tlacking knowledge or ambition, they're cut off from their bodies. When women suppress their intuition, silence their desires, and disconnect from their sensuality, they lose access to their most powerful source of leadership presence.This conversation is an invitation to come back home toyourself, to your body, and to the feminine wisdom within. Because true leadership isn't about doing more—it's about embodying who you really are.

Originally released July, 2023. In this episode of Relationships at Work, communications and leadership nerd (and host) Russel Lolacher highlights the gap between leadership assumptions and employee reality.Numerous surveys have been conducted by SHRM, Deloitte, Forrester showing executives have a very different perception of their organizational culture than those who work for them.Russel asks the question, "but how do you know?" to challenge those leaders who make assumptions, dismiss data they don't agree with or have far too small of a network to know what's really going on. He also offers ideas on how to embrace employees and the challenges they face. And connect with me for more great content!

What if the biggest gap in leadership isn't about strategy, but about how leaders see themselves versus how their teams experience them? Even well-intentioned leaders can miss the mark when it comes to empathy, trust, and connection. In this episode of the Inspirational Leadership podcast, I speak with Tanveer Naseer about his unconventional journey, reflections on leadership, empathy, and purpose. Tanveer is an internationally acclaimed keynote speaker and award-winning leadership writer. He is also the Founder and CEO of Tanveer Naseer Leadership, a leadership corporate training and consulting firm that works with executives and managers to help them develop practical leadership and team-building competencies to drive organizational growth and development. He is the recipient of several awards and recognitions as one of the world's top thinkers in the leadership sphere, including being recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the Top 100 Leadership and Management Experts. Listen in to learn how nonverbal cues and unspoken truths can reveal cracks in leadership that words alone never will. You will also learn why leadership isn't about holding on to employees forever, but about helping them grow so much that they eventually outgrow their role. Key Takeaways: How reflecting on peak experiences and storytelling reveals where to find energy and purpose. The role of emotional intelligence, empathy, and compassion in effective leadership. How leaders can validate, listen, and recognize employees without always having solutions. Why leaders must first learn before practicing leadership skills, beginning with honest self-awareness. How small, consistent efforts in listening and asking better questions change team dynamics. Why recognizing employees' strengths and passions fuels long-term engagement. Standout Quotes: “The latest studies have shown that on average, it takes 10 years for someone who's just started a formal leadership role to get any kind of leadership training.”- Tanveer Naseer [21:48] “When you really treat people well and invest in them, your reputation speaks for itself out there in the marketplace as well.”- Kristen Harcourt [41:30] If this episode inspired you, share it with a fellow leader or tag me on LinkedIn with your biggest takeaway!

How do we transform infrastructure experts into infrastructure leaders in time for Canada's building boom? Canada is facing a future of increased infrastructure projects, but the country has a poor track record when it comes to delivering major projects. In fact, “over time and over budget” is a global industry trope. In pursuit of systemic, upstream solutions, Riccardo compiles an esteemed panel of experts for a timely and critical conversation: how do we elevate the leadership of multi-billion-dollar major infrastructure programmes essential to our country's national culture and well-being? Barriers to collaboration, differences and similarities between infrastructure programmes and corporations, the behavioural versus the technical—the industry leaders break down what's going wrong and why we haven't fixed it yet. Unwilling to stop at theory, the group posits and troubleshoots actionable ways governments and the private sector could work together to quickly and effectively shore up Canada's infrastructure industry.Key Takeaways:The theories as to why it costs more to create infrastructure in Canada;The significant and often-ignored gap between technical, management, and leadership skill sets;How an integrated leadership training program could elevate all levels of project management;The impact of lackluster research into Canada's past infrastructure successes and failures;Utilizing AI within reason in an industry that relies on human interaction.Quote:“I ​think ​we ​can ​create ​a ​program ​that builds ​on ​the ​global ​experience ​and ​best ​practices, ​but ​also ​captures ​Canada's ​own ​project ​delivery ​cultures, ​business ​practices,  ​community ​needs, ​and ​sees ​leadership ​through ​that ​lens ​and ​enables ​us ​to ​deliver ​projects. ​But ​it's ​going ​to ​take ​governments ​coming ​on ​board and recognizing ​the ​value ​that ​it's ​not ​just ​private ​sector ​expertise ​on ​these ​projects. ​You ​don't ​just ​hand ​over ​a ​project ​and ​then ​say ​come ​back ​in ​five ​years ​and ​we'll ​cut ​the ​ribbon ​together. There's ​a ​ton ​of ​leadership ​that's ​required ​on ​the ​public ​sector ​side ​too, ​at ​the ​highest ​levels ​of ​the ​organization ​to ​make ​sure ​that ​these ​projects ​stay ​on ​track.” - Matti Siemiatycki The conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/Follow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/Read Riccardo's latest at https://riccardocosentino.com/   Connect with Matti Siemiatycki: https://www.geography.utoronto.ca/people/directories/all-faculty/matti-siemiatyckiLearn more about Kirsten's work at https://aecom.com/en-ca/about-us/our-leadership/kirsten-watson-2/Connect with Suzanne Moreland: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzannemoreland/Connect with John Allen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-allen-30452226/ Music: "A New Tomorrow" by Chordial Music.

Leadership at Indianapolis Animal Care Services is unknown after the City-County Council stopped a proposal to appoint Kelly Diamond to head the troubled agency. As anti-DEI legislation makes its way through the statehouse, one Indiana college student created a petition to fight back. Governor Mike Braun signed an executive order Monday to expand paid parental leave for state-employed Hoosiers.

This MTM Minute is powered by Move to Millions Live 2025   The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.  And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making.  That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions. In this week's full length episode of the Move to Millions Podcast, The Leadership Gap, Dr. Darnyelle delves into the importance of closing the leadership gap to grow your business to seven figures. She emphasizes the need for CEOs to delegate effectively, move away from micromanagement, and lead with clarity, vision, and purpose. Dr. Darnyelle shares powerful insights on empowering your team, trusting your leadership abilities, and creating an environment where team members feel valued and safe. By focusing on leadership development and learning to delegate authority, CEOs can move beyond six-figure limitations and scale to seven figures with grace. This episode provides actionable tips to improve team performance, avoid burnout, and foster a culture of accountability. Leaders who develop their skills will attract more success and grow their businesses exponentially.   This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is "I am closing my leadership gap by stepping into my full potential as a leader, empowering my team and trusting their abilities. I lead with clarity, vision, and purpose, knowing that as I grow, my team and business grow with me. I release the need to micromanage, and instead, I create an environment where my team feels safe, valued, and inspired. I trust in their strengths, delegate effectively, and watch my business thrive as we move to seven figures and beyond."   Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Delegate with Trust: Start by delegating one key task that you have been holding on to. Trust your team member to handle it and provide feedback, not micromanagement. Allow them the space to perform, even if it's not done exactly how you would do it. Hold Clear Team Meetings: Ensure your team understands their role in the broader vision of your business. Hold a meeting to communicate the company's goals, values, and vision for the next 90 days. Make sure everyone knows how their work contributes to the overall success. Invest in Leadership Development: Commit to improving your leadership skills. Read books, attend workshops, and work with a coach who can help you develop better ways to manage and support your team. As you grow as a leader, your business will naturally thrive. Affirm with me: "I am closing my leadership gap by stepping into my full potential as a leader, empowering my team and trusting their abilities. I lead with clarity, vision, and purpose, knowing that as I grow, my team and business grow with me. I release the need to micromanage, and instead, I create an environment where my team feels safe, valued, and inspired. I trust in their strengths, delegate effectively, and watch my business thrive as we move to seven figures and beyond." And This Week's Journal Prompts Are: "As a leader, I want to empower my team by delegating... and trusting them with..." "The leadership gap I most need to address in my business is... and I can begin closing it by..." "To improve my leadership, I will focus on... and take one step today to create more trust and clarity with my team." And Your Prayer of the Week: Heavenly Father, We thank You for the opportunity to grow as leaders in our businesses. Help us to lead with clarity, confidence, and grace. We ask that You guide our actions and decisions, empowering us to delegate with trust and create an environment where our teams feel valued and supported. Lord, we recognize that leadership is a skill we can develop, and we pray for the wisdom and strength to close the leadership gap in our businesses. May we lead with purpose, serve with integrity, and trust that as we grow, our businesses will grow with us. In Your name, we pray. Amen.
