Podcasts about leadership insights

In this episode of Dealer Talk, we dive deep into mindset, leadership, and making bold decisions in business. I'm thrilled to sit down with my long-time friend and client, Inder Dosanjh, whose journey from technician to owning 17 car dealerships is nothing short of inspiring. We also welcome Munish Mahajan, Inder's co-founder, CEO & President, who brings a tech-forward, transformative approach to dealership operations. We talk about: The mindset shifts that move you from “just a job” to building something bigger. The challenges of scaling a dealership business while keeping your team motivated and empowered. How data, AI, and smart processes can fill gaps in dealership operations. The power of complementary skill sets in partnerships and leadership. Real-life crossroads that define companies and leaders—and how to make bold decisions when the stakes are high. Whether you're a dealership owner, GM, frontline manager, or part of a BDC team, this episode is packed with insights on growth, transformation, and taking action—even when it feels risky.

Finding Happy by Peter Samuelson is a hybrid of memoir and self-help book, offering young adults practical wisdom drawn from the author's own remarkable journey as a film producer and philanthropist. 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. He calls on readers to fight tribalism, care for democracy, and leave a legacy by uplifting others.  In his words, real happiness comes from being of use to the world—and from daring to live a life of meaning, love, and service.Peter Samuelson ! Website – www.samuelson.LALinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/petersamuelson/Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/petergsamuelson/Ted Talk -- https://www.ted.com/talks/peter_samuelson_everyone_deserves_a_roofAnne Zuckerman!

Send us a textSo, I have a question for you — what if running wasn't really about running? What if it was about something deeper… something you need to hold on to right now? 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?

Gute Führung ist nicht immer angenehm – manchmal tut sie sogar weh. Nicht körperlich, aber emotional. In dieser Folge des LEITWOLF® Podcasts spricht Stefan über eine Seite von Leadership, über die selten gesprochen wird – obwohl viele Führungskräfte sie kennen: Entscheidungen treffen, die wehtun. Klarheit zeigen, wenn andere lieber ausweichen. Stand halten, wenn es unpopulär wird. Du erfährst, warum unangenehme Entscheidungen oft ein Zeichen guter Führung sind, wie Du schwieriges Feedback so gibst, dass es wirklich hilft – und warum es wichtig ist, Dich mit anderen Führungskräften darüber auszutauschen. Führung darf schmerzen – besonders dann, wenn sie Veränderung bedeutet. Doch gerade dann entsteht oft das, was wirklich zählt: Entwicklung, Klarheit und Vertrauen. ––– 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 final episode of the Leadership Insights I Wish I Had Known at the Start series, Julia speaks with Saki Chen who is a lawyer, pilot, and the first woman from China to fly around the world in a small single-engine plane. Saki reflects on what she learned about leading while navigating a complex and high-risk expedition with a small, intimate crew, many of whom were older and more experienced than her. She speaks about the importance of being bold enough to dream big, even when the odds (and the funding) aren't in your favor and how that boldness can inspire others to believe in your vision, too. She also shares how she handled self-doubt, the power of clarity when leading more experienced people, the need to own your mistakes, and why it's vital to stay focused on what success really means. Listen to this episode to hear how leading doesn't always come with a title sometimes, it's about taking responsibility, earning trust, and finding your way through, even when you're not entirely sure you can. About the Guest: Saki Chen is an attorney licensed to practice in both New York and China, and a certified FAA private pilot with ratings for fixed wing land and sea, instrument flying, high performance, and complex aircraft. She serves as the China Governor for The Ninety-Nines, Inc., the international organisation of women pilots. In 2016, Saki flew around the world in a small single-engine aircraft, an extraordinary journey that combined precision, perseverance, and a pioneering spirit.

In this episode of the Leadership Insights I Wish I Had Known at the Start series, Julia is joined by Alison Coburn, environment leader at Common Purpose leader with over 30 years of experience guiding teams through complex change, often in some of the world's most challenging settings. Alison shares nine fundamentals she wishes she'd known before she started leading. Starting with this vital truth: don't do it alone, build a support network. From building your own “survival kit” of support and stability, to learning the art of delegation, Alison's insights are thoughtful, honest, and deeply grounded in real-life leadership. She also unpacks hard-won lessons like the need for a “hard streak,” the importance of leading upwards, and why communication isn't just a part of leading; it is the very act of leading. Her reflections reveal how moral courage, containing emotions, and picking the right team members shape a leader's impact far more than any textbook theory. Alison's list will make you pause and ask, “What would be on mine?” Tune in, reflect, and perhaps even start your own list of what you wish you'd known at the start.

In this episode of Stories from the Field, host Doug Roberts sits down with longtime II superintendent member and author Dr. PJ Caposey, superintendent of both Meridian and Oregon school districts in Illinois. This candid conversation pulls back the curtain on what it really means to lead boldly, mentor intentionally, and manage the complexities of public education without losing yourself in the process.Caposey shares what it's been like managing two very different districts at once, navigating rural school leadership, and scaling back a thriving speaking career to focus on what matters most.
