Send us a textHappy New Year! We're kicking off 2025 with an insightful conversation featuring Christian Muntean, leadership consultant and author of Train to Lead: The Unstoppable Leader's Plan for Peak Performance.

Whether setting one priority per day or practicing better delegation, incremental changes compound into significant results.Leadership as a Lifestyle: Great leaders don't stop learning.

In today's spooky episode, three bad leadership practices to avoid: The Poisoned Apple of Favoritism. Don't gravitate toward people who are visible or like you--neither is a good metric for who is doing the best work. The Silent Curse. Don't avoid giving feedback and holding your teams accountable. Conflict is not something to be avoided. The Spell of Micromanagement. Don't get caught up in the action trap--managing the specific tasks your team is undertaking--because it'll burn out both you and your team. Focus on creating culture through experiences that drive beliefs. Culture Leaders Daily is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the week's biggest news, unpack hot-button workplace trends, and bring you exclusive interviews with leaders who leverage culture to drive real business results.

Send us a MessageIn this Culture Byte solo episode, Sue discusses the concept of the leadership bundle and its importance in the organization's future success. She explains that leadership is about activities that make something better for the future and recommends defining and practicing a bundle of core leadership tactics. Sue emphasizes the need for leaders to focus on proactive, positive, and results-oriented practices rather than getting caught up solely in supervisory or management tasks. She also highlights the benefits of adopting a leadership bundle at both the individual and organizational level.A leadership bundle is born out of the questions “what is leadership?” “what do leaders do?” and “how do we lead around here?”Leadership is about engaging activities that make something better for the future.The Capstone recommended leadership bundle consists of nine core leadership practices that work together synergistically.To support improvement and growth initiatives, leaders engage in proactive, positive, and results-oriented practices over supervisory or management tasks.Over the duration of the 10-week Capstone Leadership Bundle Academy, participants will be guided through a “learn-do”experience designed to support the adoption of a consistent cadence of purposeful and impactfulactions anchored in nine core leadership practices that move people higher and progress forward.The next Academy offering is Sept 16-Nov 22.Academy details and registration information

Jerry Dugan joins talk about the power leaders have to shape an organization's climate into an empowering place of growth. He explains the T.E.N.T concept, which is rooted in building and sustaining a culture based on trust, empathy, nurture, and the thrill of thriving together. Leaders can be like tent-poles. Jerry shares that proper tent set up in the military requires staking the corners first to provide structure. They are supporting the structure while letting the team, which are like the canvas, remain adaptable and strong. By doing so, leaders set the stage for a great exchange of ideas, collaboration, and shared objectives that solidify the organization's mission and vision. The T.E.N.T framework operates similarly for teams - stake the 4 leadership practices first to create psychological safety for the team to thrive. A leader who applies this framework is a facilitator, helping each team member explore their potential within a supportive environment. Try shifting from reactive management methods to proactive leadership strategies. This move encourages self-reliance and independence among team members. As Jerry explains, the T.E.N.T Framework is how you can ensure your employees are leading satisfying and fulfilled lives at the workplace. Sometimes a role as a leader can feel like wrangling cats. However, getting everyone pulling in the same direction is good for productivity and is the key to your organizational culture. Tune in to the full episode of World at Work to gain valuable insights from Jerry Dugan. Don't miss out on this opportunity to elevate your leadership skills and create a positive work environment for your team.

The calendar says we've got to start over. New year, new you, new business models, new goals. Even if the calendar isn't a magical starting point, it does represent new stuff. Could be a new reporting year, a new fiscal year, or a great impetus to start fresh. When we do this, we might consider re-creating the wheel. Throw it all out and start over completely. That may be necessary, but it might be overkill. It could be the case that the wheel itself is just fine, but the tread is not right for the terrain. The wheel metaphor can be used as a status quo - no need to re-create the wheel. But the chance to make a better wheel always exists and can get people fired up for new hotness. As you move into this new year, here are some considerations for you and your team: 1. Success is never static - it's important to continuously innovate and grow. 2. Leaders must assess and refine their strategies constantly. Embrace change for growth and improvement, as change is the only constant. 3. Reflection, assessment, and dreaming big are crucial for successful planning. dreaming big, and tweaking goals for continuous improvement. There is no shortage of opportunity for improvement and the success can be measured in people served, employee engagement, and revenue. The important component is to know what your wheel is, what it's to be used for, and whether it is the best possible option for the goal you are trying to reach. As you reflect on the insights of the No More Leadership BS team, consider the degree to which your wheel (plan, approach, expectations) is calibrated to get you to where you want to be. There is no reason to re-create the wheel, but you may have a need to change nearly every aspect of the wheel you do have.

In today's leadership spark, Liz Wiseman, Bestselling Author of "Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter”, and I explore the shifting landscape of leadership challenges over the past decade. We discuss about how the role of a leader has transformed from leading to a predetermined better place to leading through uncertainty. We also delve into the crucial skills of thinking like a futurist and being open to various scenarios and possibilities. Liz emphasizes that anyone, not just those in positions of authority, can embrace the multiplier mindset. She offers practical insights for remote team leadership, such as providing clarity through the "three what's" – what good looks like, what done looks like, and what's in scope. Liz Wiseman is one of the 100+ CEOs I interviewed for my new book, Leading With Vulnerability, which is coming out in October. ⁠Check it out here and pre-order your copy now.⁠ __________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

I'm really excited to chat with Dr. Paulie Gavoni again on the podcast. As long time listeners know, he's been on the show many times, and always brings a down-to-earth, practical point of view to what we do as Behavior Analysts. In preparation for a talk at the recent Hoosier Association for Behavior Analysis event, Paulie did a deep dive on characteristics of bad leadership. It went over very well, and we thought it would make for an informative podcast episode. And Paulie presents his findings in his own unique and fun manner. I won't spoil it here, so be sure to hear him go through it all. I should also note that Paulie and I talk all the time and our banter may have drifted into what I'll refer to here as 'middle school language.' Nothing terribly profane mind you, but I did want to give a heads up because I know many of you listen to the podcast while ferrying your kids around. On a different note, Paulie and I, along with our colleague Anika Costa, are working on a really fun project for behavioral professionals in public school settings. We are hoping to have it out in the first quarter of 2023, so stay tuned for that. Here are the links: Follow Paulie on LinkedIn; he's always posting thought provoking-articles.

The podcast by project managers for project managers. How to flourish in your leadership role as your best self, inspire excellence in your team, and lead a highly fulfilled life.  “Arriving” is everything required to get into a position, but to stay successful, it is necessary to embrace the skills needed to “thrive” in that position. Listen in for useful advice on how to Arrive and Thrive and succeed in your leadership role. Table of Contents 01:47 … Arrive and Thrive - The Book04:15 … Who Should Read this Book?04:38 … Co-authors and Collaborations05:54 … Skills to Thrive08:36 … The Harsh Inner Critic11:29 … The Self-Centering Practice15:19 … Thriving and Combating Systemic Barriers19:53 … Lead with Our Best Self22:37 … Cultivating Courage25:16 … Instill Courage in Others27:18 … Becoming More Self-Aware29:34 … Reflective Sense-Making31:44 … Susan's Lessons Learned33:56 … Get in Touch with Susan34:57 … Closing SUSAN MACKENTY BRADY:  ... we can't control and change other people.  It's annoying, but it's true.  People don't like to be controlled.  But we can make choices about how we show up.  So what we want to do is we want to narrow the gap between the time we are triggered and the time we react, enough to take pause between stimulus and response.  That's it.  WENDY GROUNDS:  Welcome to Manage This.  This is the podcast by project managers for project managers. I'm Wendy Grounds, and with me in the studio is Bill Yates.  BILL YATES:  Yes.  Our guest is Susan Mackenty Brady.  She is the Deloitte Ellen Gabriel Chair for Women and Leadership at Simmons University, and the first Chief Executive Officer of the Simmons University Institute for Inclusive Leadership.  As a relationship expert, leadership well-being coach, author and speaker, our guest Susan educates leaders and executives globally on fostering self-awareness for optimal leadership. WENDY GROUNDS:  The reason we're talking to Susan today is she has sent us a book called “Arrive and Thrive:  7 Impactful Practices for Women Navigating Leadership,” which she has co-authored with Janet Foutty and Lynn Perry Wooten.  You know, women who arrive at the top should be able to thrive at the top.  There's a lot of talk about how to get there.  But then once you get there, are you just surviving, or are you thriving in those positions as women in leadership?  And so we hope that this is going to be a really helpful book and a helpful conversation to women who are project managers and trying to figure out how to flourish in leadership roles today. BILL YATES: Yeah, I can attest.  There's great value in this book, regardless of male or female. WENDY GROUNDS: Susan, welcome to Manage This.  Thank you so much for being our guest. SUSAN MACKENTY BRADY:  Thank you for having me. Arrive and Thrive - The Book WENDY GROUNDS:  Yeah, we're excited to talk about this book. To start off, won't you tell us why you wrote this book? SUSAN MACKENTY BRADY:  You know, there's two answers to that question.  You want both?  There's first a real answer about how it came to be, which was because I am not an academic.  I have been in business and specifically in leadership development.  I've been a student and teacher of leadership since I can recall.  I've a Master's in Behavioral Science and Leadership Education.  And I have to say, when I came to Simmons University and was awarded the endowed chair, it's the Deloitte Ellen Gabriel Chair for Women in Leadership, my first question is what does one do to be worthy of an endowed chair in an academic environment?  Because I actually didn't know that non-PhDs were awarded chairs.  Apparently it's more common than we know. But my answer was whatever you want it to be. So it was actually around a talking circle with two senior partners from Deloitte and the current President of the University, who awarded me the chair.  And we're all C-level.  We've run organizations.  We've run business units,

Today we dive into this inquiry: "What is draining, dimming or distorting your radiance? " Remember, Radiance is your light. The brightness and strength of your radiance effect everything from your wellbeing, your physical health, your ability to get your gifts and genius into the world, your access to your intuition and power, and how you feel about  yourself, your life and the world.  Our theme for this series is STAY LIGHT - not as a spiritual platitude but as a directive from the Universe and a real practice we put into place in our daily lives. Last session we explored what Radiance is, and what restores and retains yours. In this Feminine Power Time #186, our intention is to illuminate what's draining or dimming your radiance, so you can see it, name it and be at choice with how to work with the forces that pull you down and dim, so you can can stay light and bright even in this challenging time in the world. We'll start where we always start which is where you have the power within you to make shifts, no matter what the outside world does. We'll dive into 5 different ways I've noticed our Radiance gets drained,  dimmed or distorted because of what's happpening within us. to help you remember, we use alleteration, giving them all F's ... for "What's f-ing with my Light! :) LOL> we need to stay light as we dive into this heavy stuff. Here are 6 ways we drain, dim or distort our Radiance 1. Forcing 2. Forgetting  3. Feeling Like... 4. Frustation at Feeling Stuck 5. Fragmenting Your Focus  6. Frequency  I'll share the signs these are present within you, give real life examples and share some of my practices for how I transform the radiance dimmers, and elevate my mood, perspective and energy.  At the end I'll guide you through a embodied meditation that tunes you into where your Radiance is getting drained, and a 3-step process to rise out of the muck into the light.  Lots of good stuff in here. Exhale. This is all in service of supporting you to name and see the patterns in what messes with your Radiance, so you can catch it sooner, shift the energy, and find your way to back to the Flow and the light beam of the "Force" :) Like in Star Wars :)) See you there. May the light always glow and flow within you,  Christine  p.s. THANK YOU for those who have left reviews and ratings for the Feminine Power Time Podcast and Overwhelmed and Over It book.
