Kristen Kavanaugh is the author of Courage Over Fear and the founder of The Agency Initiative, working to connect people's work with meaning in alignment with their values. Previously, she was the vice chair of the Defense Advisory Committee on Diversity & Inclusion and the senior director of inclusion, talent & learning at Tesla. Here are my key takeaways: Values Dissonance Drives Talent Away: The conflict between personal values and the actions or culture of a company—especially at the leadership level—causes significant personal distress and ultimately leads to attrition. Kavanaugh described experiencing anxiety and physical symptoms, including panic attacks, that her body was trying to communicate to her before she left her role at Tesla. She emphasized that listening to those internal signals is crucial and that her health immediately improved once she made the decision to leave the toxic environment. For organizations, this highlights that failing to align with and uphold core values will physically and mentally harm employees, particularly those with less privilege, leading to the loss of valuable talent. Courageous Leadership and Psychological Safety are Key to DEI Success: DEI work thrives when leadership models courage and takes a clear stand on inclusion. Kavanaugh, who led the DEI team, noted that when the CEO began making public statements that were antithetical to the work they were doing, it caused deep pain and was the "start of the unravelling" of DEI at the company. This demonstrated that leadership's visible choice of "courage over fear"—especially by those with power and privilege (the "decision calculus" factor)—is necessary to foster a culture where all employees, particularly underrepresented groups, feel safe and valued enough to stay. Retention and Growth is Built on Small, Consistent Acts of Agency (The 5% Approach): The concept of the "Agency Loop" highlights that a healthy professional life is a cycle of authenticity, intentional decision-making, and growth. The key to starting and sustaining this cycle is the "5% more courageous approach," which breaks down intimidating acts of courage into small, manageable steps. For workplace retention, this means that cultural change and a sense of agency aren't just about massive, high-risk confrontations; they are built through everyday choices, such as a manager creating space for honest dialogue or an employee simply dressing in a way that feels authentic to them. These small, consistent actions compound over time to build resilience and a stronger, more authentic leader and employee. Follow Kristen at https://www.courageoverfearbook.com/.

The blog postIn this episode of Lean Blog Audio, Mark Graban reads and reflects on his post “Fred Noe of Jim Beam: Leadership Lessons on Mistakes, Innovation, and Long-Term Thinking.”What can a seventh-generation master distiller teach us about leadership, experimentation, and learning from mistakes? Quite a lot, as it turns out. Drawing on two in-person encounters with Fred Noe—at the Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, and at a Bourbon Society event—Mark shares timeless lessons from a leader who practices Lean principles without ever using the jargon.Fred's stories about 4,000-gallon “small batch” experiments, revisiting brown rice Bourbon years later, and guiding his son Freddie through failed blends show how humility, patience, and long-term vision create both great whiskey and great organizations.

In this episode of Knowledgecast, Jack welcomes retired Air Force Colonel Rick Burgess — a former pilot, commander, and member of the investigative team that examined the 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia tragedy.Rick walks listeners through the events of that day and the months that followed as a multidisciplinary team worked to uncover what caused the shuttle to disintegrate during re-entry, claiming the lives of all seven astronauts. He explains how the investigation revealed not only a physical failure — a piece of foam striking the left wing — but a deeper organizational one: a culture that had grown comfortable with small deviations from safety standards.Through firsthand insight, Rick illustrates how “the normalization of deviance” can quietly take root in any organization when success overshadows caution and when communication breaks down across teams. The conversation highlights the complexity of leadership in high-pressure environments, the importance of accountability, and the courage required to confront hard truths before they lead to crisis.Whether you lead a business, a team, or simply want to grow as a leader, this episode offers a sobering yet inspiring reminder that great leadership is not just about achievement — it's about humility, vigilance, and learning from the past to protect the future.Learn more at www.jackwwilliams.com/podcast

When you live your faith boldly in the workplace, you're bound to face opposition—from policies that restrict expression, to coworkers who mock your values, to cultural narratives that paint you as out of touch. You're not imagining it—and you're not alone. In this episode, we turn to Nehemiah 4 for encouragement and direction. Nehemiah's leadership during the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls reveals what it means to lead with courage when pressure comes from every direction. North, south, east, and west—Nehemiah was surrounded. But he stayed focused, stayed faithful, and strengthened his people with prayer and practical steps. You'll learn 5 essential leadership lessons for facing opposition: Expect resistance when you pursue godly goals. Recognize the sources of opposition—whether it's mockery, pressure, fear, or policy. Respond first in prayer, not panic. Stay faithful and keep building what God called you to build. Encourage others with the truth: "Our God will fight for us!" (Nehemiah 4:20) This episode is especially for Christian leaders who feel boxed in or weary from spiritual, cultural, or organizational resistance. Whether you're leading a team, a business, or a ministry, Nehemiah's example will help you stand firm and lead well. You'll also walk away with 5 action steps and discussion questions to apply with your team or reflect on personally. If you're under pressure for your faith in the workplace, listen in—this message will remind you that you're not fighting alone.

In this engaging conversation, Lori Adams-Brown interviews Mita Mallick about her book "The Devil Emails at Midnight: What Good Leaders Can Learn from Bad Bosses." Mita shares personal stories and insights on leadership, workplace culture, and the impact of bad bosses on mental health. The discussion covers the importance of self-awareness, setting boundaries, and the role of personal relationships in professional settings.

In this episode of Counsel Culture, Eric sits down with national champion, former UNC head coach, and executive coach Matt Doherty for a candid conversation about leadership, culture, and the kind of personal transformation that only comes through adversity. From playing alongside Michael Jordan to being fired from his dream job at North Carolina, Matt opens up about identity, ego, and what it really takes to rebuild your life and leadership from the inside out. Together, Eric and Matt dig into why culture is king, why talent without character will eventually break your team, and how the best leaders move from transactional to transformational influence. Matt shares stories from the court, the locker room, and the boardroom, plus the deeply personal decision that changed everything: his journey to sobriety and how it reshaped his marriage, his coaching, and his purpose. This episode is about truth-telling, accountability, and the courage to be coached, no matter how successful you are on paper. Whether you're leading a team, raising a family, or trying to become the kind of person others can trust, this conversation will challenge you to raise your standards for yourself and the culture around you.

Vulnerability has become a leadership buzzword — but it's often misunderstood.Key idea: Vulnerability without boundaries isn't strength. It's exposure.Learn the difference between sharing lessons and sharing wounds.Hear stories of two leaders — James and Diana — who represent both extremes.Discover the guiding rule: “If it still hurts when you tell it, it's not ready to share.”Explore how to model authenticity that empowers your team, not burdens them.Use the self-check question: “Am I sharing this to serve them, or to relieve myself?”Bonus takeaway: “You can be the lighthouse or the storm, but you can't be both.”
What makes a great legal leader, and what brings one down? What happens when success becomes too comfortable? Today on the Legally Speaking Podcast ™️ sponsored by Clio, LinkedIn Live, I had the privilege of sitting down with Norman Bacal, former Managing Partner of Heenan Blaikie, Lionsgate Board Director, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author.Here's what we uncovered: - The 3Cs every modern leader needs: Communication, Collaboration, Culture- The three truths about lawyers every manager must know- Why even great firms can crumble and how to rebuild with integrity- How to “rewire” your leadership for the next chapter of your career Norman's candour and wisdom remind us that true leadership is not about avoiding failure it's about learning, adapting, and leading again.
In this week's Leadership Lessons, we remember that the gospel is not just what we believe it's what we become through Him. Jesus joined our humanity (John 1:14), took our place (2 Cor 5:21), freed us from sin's rule (Rom 8:15), restored us to relationship (Rom 5:10-11), made us righteous (Rom 5:1), called us His own (John 20:17), set us apart by His Spirit (2 Thess 2:13), gave us victory (Col 2:15), breathed new life into prayer (Rom 6:9-10), lifted us into Heaven's presence (Eph 2:6), intercedes for us continually (Heb 7:25), transforms us from glory to glory (2 Cor 3:18), and leads us as the head of a new humanity (Rom 5:19). The Spirit now makes these truths alive in us reminding us we're not working for acceptance but living from it. Our part is agreement and surrender, letting His finished work form our daily walk.

There are few chapters in American military history as daring, secretive, and defining as MACV-SOG, the Military Assistance Command-Vietnam, Studies and Observations Group. A small band of elite Green Berets who operated deep behind enemy lines, often without acknowledgment, and always with extraordinary courage.These men were tasked with missions that had never been done before and might never be done again. Their work in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam forged the tactics, technology, and mindset that would become the DNA of modern Special Operations.But when they came home, many faced a different kind of battle. The Vietnam era brought with it a complex legacy, one of heroism and heartbreak, pride and pain. Some became business and political leaders; others struggled for decades to find peace. Yet through it all, the brotherhood forged in MACV-SOG never wavered.Live from the 2nd Annual Stars and Stripes Classic, we sat down with Doug Godshall and Jim Shorten, two veterans of MACV-SOG, to honor their service, preserve their stories, and remind today's Green Berets what courage, sacrifice, and innovation truly mean.This episode is about the origins of Special Forces as we know them today, the unbreakable bonds formed in war, and the duty we all share to ensure that the lessons of MACV-SOG live on in every generation of those who don the Green Beret.HIGHLIGHTS0:00 Introduction1:42 Welcome to the Stars & Stripes Classic3:06 Defining MACV-SOG5:54 Who were the partner forces?7:20 MACV-SOG Losses11:27 Why Become A Green Beret?14:42 Life Post-Vietnam19:35 Leadership Lessons from MACV-SOG22:54 Honoring MACV-SOG VeteransQUOTES“We had no identification that we were United States soldiers.”“MACV-SOG had the highest casualty rate of any US Army unit since the Civil War.”“We were very dedicated to the Montangards.”“We wouldn't be alive but for our indigenous partners.”“Teams went out and didn't come back. They were overrun upon landing.”“The Vietnamese War was highlighted by a lot of enemy infiltration into our ranks.”“Our generation wasn't supportive.”“I'm one of those guys that likes to continue learning.”“You can never train up enough.”“You can be whatever you want to be if you put your mind to it.”“I think the modern GWOT soldier has a lot of history to look back on and they're going to be better soldiers."“If you really want to run the mission, get all the training you can possibly get.”“We're glad that you're honoring us, but you're honoring you and the rest of the Regiment as well.”The Jedburgh Podcast is brought to you by University of Health & Performance, providing our Veterans world-class education and training as fitness and nutrition entrepreneurs.Follow the Jedburgh Podcast and the Green Beret Foundation on social media.

Turning Chaos Into Clarity Daryl shares how his volunteer search and rescue work during a devastating tornado in Alberta shaped his philosophy on leadership. What he witnessed in those chaotic moments pushed him to create systems for handling emergencies—not just in public safety, but also inside corporate boardrooms. Michael recalls his own experience with Hurricane Andrew in Florida, highlighting how disasters force us to rethink routines, resilience, and the way we lead through disruption. Productivity Meets Humanity Too often, workplaces focus on efficiency while stripping away connection. Michael and Daryl unpack why this doesn't work. Daryl draws from his coaching experience to show how empathy and vulnerability make leaders more effective, while Michael connects it back to employee well-being, stress management, and retention. Together, they stress that leadership is most powerful when it balances results with human connection. Transforming Toxicity Into Trust Michael shares his story of stepping into a healthcare organization with an 86% turnover rate. Within a year, by listening, implementing overdue changes, and fostering collaboration, turnover dropped to 6%. The lesson? Empathy and support aren't “soft skills”—they're leadership essentials. Just like a great coach who believes in their team, leaders can rebuild broken cultures by showing they care. Fundamentals Don't Change, Scale Does Daryl reminds us that whether you're leading 10 people or 10,000, the core challenges stay the same. Leadership is about people—and people are complex. His “order to chaos” framework emphasizes self-mastery, productivity, and intentional leadership. He explains how influence works like concentric circles: the larger the organization, the more intentional leaders must be with communication and culture. Adaptability Creates Team Success Great leaders flex. Daryl underscores the importance of listening and adjusting when introducing new systems. Michael reinforces this point with his healthcare experience—leaders who adapt to different personalities and communication styles build trust and reduce turnover. The message is clear: adaptability and intentionality are non-negotiable in leadership today. Collaboration for Better Decisions Michael highlights why leaders must include frontline voices when rolling out new tools or strategies, or risk creating disconnects. Daryl introduces his practical “1-3-1” tactic: identify the problem, offer three options, and present one recommendation. This simple structure accelerates decision-making and keeps teams aligned. The 1-3-1 Framework in Action Daryl breaks down how the 1-3-1 framework reduces cognitive overload for leaders while strengthening accountability. Though it feels clunky at first, it quickly becomes second nature. He even shares his Executive Assistant playbook and resources for leaders ready to try it—just DM him the word "TeamMichael” on LinkedIn or Instagram to get started. Resources and Balance The episode closes with resource-sharing and gratitude. Michael and Daryl encourage leaders to take advantage of these tools and remind listeners that leadership isn't about doing it all alone. Balance, intentionality, and shared wisdom are what truly move organizations forward.
