Episode Summary: Heather Penney explores national security artificial intelligence applications and considerations with Sean Moriarty and Leonard Law of Primer, a leading AI company. We explore how AI can help improve U.S. defense capabilities, discuss how vulnerabilities and challenges can be managed, while also addressing market conditions required to transition this technology to reality. How do we assure quality data and security of the AI tool and its outputs? How do we avoid ingesting bad data without ignoring emerging battlespace information in the battlespace? And perhaps most importantly, how do we generate trust between warfighters and AI? All of this must be generated at the pace of battlespace relevance.

How do leaders inspire their HR and recruiting professionals—or drive them into frustration and disengagement? In this episode, Niels Brabandt, Founder of NB Networks and internationally recognised leadership expert, explores the decisive role leadership plays in motivating (or demotivating) the very teams that shape an organisation's future workforce. Drawing on real-world examples from Europe's largest HR and recruiting fair, Brabandt reveals why HR and recruiting are not back-office functions but the sales engine of the “employer brand.” He analyses why flawed KPIs, excessive operational burdens, and poor executive communication undermine motivation, and he outlines the leadership behaviours that build trust, foster engagement, and turn HR into a strategic driver of organisational success. For decision makers who want to win the global talent race, this episode delivers clear and actionable leadership insights. Niels Brabandt shows why leadership behaviour is the number one factor behind retention, performance, and long-term business success.

Many companies talk about leadership – but only a few actually measure it. And that is where the real difference lies. Because what isn't measured cannot be improved. In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan explains why leadership measurement is so often neglected, what serious consequences this can have, and how organizations can strengthen both culture and results by defining, measuring, and consistently developing leadership. With examples from international projects and his own experience, Stefan shows why it's not enough to define leadership principles or run trainings – true impact only happens when leadership is made visible, assessed, and continuously improved. A clear message to leaders and organizations everywhere: No measurement, no impact – measurable leadership is what makes the difference. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

Viele Unternehmen sprechen über Führung – doch nur wenige messen sie. Und genau hier liegt ein entscheidender Unterschied. Denn was nicht gemessen wird, kann nicht verbessert werden. In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts erklärt Stefan, warum die Messung von Führung oft vernachlässigt wird, welche gravierenden Folgen das haben kann und wie Unternehmen durch klare Definitionen, konsequente Messung und Entwicklung von Führungskräften ihre Kultur und Ergebnisse nachhaltig verbessern.

Eine klare Botschaft an alle Führungskräfte und Organisationen: Ohne Messung keine Wirkung – messbare Führung macht den Unterschied. ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

Samuelson, who founded several major charities such as the Starlight Children's Foundation and EDAR, emphasizes that happinessstems not from fame or wealth but from creating purpose, helping others, and taking charge of one's own life.  The book is structured around more than 50 short, story-driven chapters that blend personal anecdotes with actionable advice and reflection prompts. From navigating the chaos of show business to mentoring foster youth, Samuelson shares lessons onempathy, leadership, resilience, and community.  Stories such as “The Girl Who Froze” illustrate the power of unconditional support, love and peer solidarity, while his reflections on failure, luck, and taking risks highlight the value of persistence and humility.Samuelson also teaches readers how to plan their futures through tools like spidergraphs, how to use storytelling to create empathy, and how to develop courage inthe face of fear.

Führung ist kein Luxus – sie ist ein zentraler Performance-Treiber. Doch was passiert, wenn sie in einer Organisation keine Priorität hat? Wenn sie ignoriert, unterfinanziert oder dem Zufall überlassen wird? In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan über eine unbequeme Realität, die in vielen Unternehmen anzutreffen ist – und darüber, was Du konkret tun kannst, selbst wenn Du nicht an der Spitze stehst. Er erklärt, warum fehlende Führungspriorität langfristig Kultur und Ergebnisse kostet, welche Ursachen häufig dahinterstecken – von blinden Flecken über Angst bis hin zu Bequemlichkeit – und wie Du selbst in einem herausfordernden Umfeld exzellent führst. Du erfährst, wie Du in Deinem eigenen Wirkungsbereich Führung zur Priorität machst, Dein Team stärkst und mutig nach oben führst. Mit klaren Beispielen, praxisnahen Strategien und einer eindeutigen Botschaft: Führung beginnt bei Dir – egal, wie sie um Dich herum gelebt wird. ––– Nimm gerne an dieser anonymen Umfrage teil, damit wir diesen Podcast für Dich optimieren können: https://forms.gle/WTqCeutVXV2PsjBH9 Gefällt Dir dieser LEITWOLF® Leadership Podcast?

In this week's episode, I'm talking about someone who's become kind of a running philosopher for me — Coach Chris Bennett, Nike's Global Head Coach. If you've ever needed a little push, a little grace, or a little space to just start something — anything — this one's for you. I'm also sharing a few how-to gems from him that helped me get unstuck. Yes, we're talking about runs… but we're also talking about your life, your work, and letting go of what's weighing you down. And of course, I'll give you a quick update on my PCT section hike from Siskiyou Pass to Elk Lake, the beauty, the snow, and the big lesson that this trip — like this episode — is about: purpose, grit, and connection. If you're ready to fall back in love with your own movement, your own rhythm, and your own project, give this one a listen. I'm walking — and running — right beside you. Quote of the Week “Most people aren't running to go faster or go further right now.

Great leadership isn't always comfortable – sometimes, it hurts. Not physically, but emotionally. In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan speaks about a side of leadership that is rarely talked about – yet many leaders know it well: making decisions that disappoint, speaking truths others avoid, and standing firm when it's unpopular. You'll learn why uncomfortable decisions are often a sign of strong leadership, how to give difficult feedback in a way that truly helps, and why it's essential to talk about these moments with other leaders. Leadership can hurt – especially when it drives real change. But that's often exactly when the most important things happen: growth, clarity, and trust. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?
