Podcasts about leadership team

Are your leadership decisions based on what you actually think or simply what you've heard from everyone else? Many leaders struggle with creating original thinking, building trust, and maintaining confidence when outcomes are uncertain. In this episode, Bradley Hartmann explores the leadership principles inside The Book of Joe by legendary baseball manager Joe Maddon, revealing how leaders can develop stronger cultures, better decision-making, and more resilient teams by focusing on relationships, process, and personal discipline rather than fear and conformity. In this episode, you'll learn: Why Joe Maddon believes great leaders should encourage original thinking instead of blindly following industry norms and conventional wisdom. How focusing on a fearless process rather than obsessing over outcomes can help you make better decisions and lead with greater confidence. The three building blocks Maddon used to transform losing organizations into winning cultures and how you can apply them to your own team. Listen now to discover practical leadership lessons from one of baseball's most successful managers and learn how to build a stronger culture, develop better leaders, and create a team that consistently performs at a higher level.

Today, we're pulling Responding to the Holy Spirit, Part 1 from the archives. Just as we have passions for the world or our flesh to have its own way, the Holy Spirit who dwells within us has a holy passion to have His way in our lives. The Holy Spirit is jealous for our attention. As we humble ourselves and allow Him to reign in us, we find victory over our own desires and our passion for having our own way.

What does it take to build a leadership team that truly works?In this episode of Leaning Into Leadership, Dr. Darrin Peppard sits down with Marlene Rombach, Rocio Rhoads, and Christina Shires—the leadership team at Locust Grove Middle School in Locust Grove, Virginia—to reflect on their first year leading together.With a first-year principal, a first-year assistant principal, and an assistant principal stepping into a significantly expanded role, this team faced enormous challenges from day one. Yet through intentional communication, trust, coaching, and a commitment to shared leadership, they built a culture that allowed both staff and students to thrive.This conversation is an honest look at leadership in action—the successes, the struggles, and the systems that make sustainable excellence possible.In this episode, you'll hear:Why trust is the foundation of every successful leadership teamHow vulnerability and accountability strengthen leadershipThe importance of role clarity and intentional communicationPractical systems that reduced discipline referrals by nearly 30%Why supporting teachers leads directly to better student outcomesHow coaching accelerated growth and prevented burnoutThe value of reflection, feedback, and continuous improvementWhy leadership teams need a "safe space" to process challenges togetherKey TakeawaysLeadership is a team sport.Strong leadership isn't about having all the answers—it's about building relationships, communicating clearly, holding high expectations while providing high support, and creating systems that allow everyone to do their best work.Throughout the conversation, Marlene, Rocio, and Christina demonstrate that the intentional creation of trust doesn't just make leadership more enjoyable—it makes schools more effective.Memorable Quotes"The team has to be strong for the school to be successful.""If we're asking teachers to do something, they deserve to understand the why.""High expectations only work when they're matched with high support.""The more clarity we bring, the more efficiently our school can run."Connect with Dr. Darrin PeppardIf this episode resonates with you, share it with another leader who believes that leadership teams have the power to transform schools.Subscribe to Leaning Into Leadership wherever you listen to podcasts and learn more about leadership coaching, keynote speaking, and the ALIGN Framework at Road to Awesome.Because leadership isn't about doing more.It's about intentionally creating the conditions where other people can do their best work.For leadership coaching, keynote speaking, leadership retreats, and weekly leadership insights, visit roadtoawesome.net or darrinpeppard.comSponsor Spotlight:This episode is sponsored by HeyTutor.HeyTutor partners with schools and districts nationwide to provide evidence-based high-dosage tutoring support in Math and ELA while helping schools remain intentional about staff capacity and student support systems.Learn more here: HeyTutor.com

Today, we're pulling Reaching the Next Generation, Part 2 from the archives. The Church misses something vital when it overlooks the “dew” of youth that God has given to bring refreshment and life. Too often, we wait for young people to mature instead of helping them mature. Rather than counting them out until they are older, we can give them opportunities right where they are and walk alongside them as they grow. We have the privilege of being encouragers, affirmers, and investors in them.

David Aferiat: Stop the Bottleneck and How a 3D Decision Engine Transforms Leadership Teams Guest: David Aferiat, Growth Coach and Entrepreneur Host: Julie Riga About David Aferiat David Aferiat is a growth coach, entrepreneur, and community leader with a track record built on perseverance, strategic leadership, and long-term vision. He co-founded a fintech company that earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 list for six consecutive years, licensing its technology to eTrade and TD Ameritrade. He has also led the French American Chamber of Commerce and Entrepreneurs Organization (EO). David now coaches CEOs and leadership teams to delegate with confidence and build decision-making systems that sustain professional growth. Fun Fact: The favorite food of David is Shakshuka, a Mediterranean dish of roasted peppers, tomatoes, and spices with eggs poached in the reduction, topped with feta and parsley, served with warm pita. He makes his own hummus. The 3D Decision Engine: Discover, Discuss, Decide Discover: Before the meeting, team members log issues and opportunities into a shared parking lot, a simple spreadsheet visible to all. Each item is written as an outcome statement. Tag each item as an opportunity or an obstacle. Discuss: Follow a fast, slow, fast cadence. Align quickly on the list, go deep in discussion, then move to decision. Everyone speaks beyond their own role. Time-box each conversation with a visible timer. Decide: Every decision is assigned one accountable owner with milestones and a follow-up timeline. Decisions fall into six categories: change a process, change a person, change the strategy, stop something, delegate it, or automate it. Key Insights Decision bottlenecks are a leadership problem, not a business problem. When the founder becomes the single point of approval for every decision, growth stalls because of organizational design, not market conditions. The fix is structural. Perseverance is the daily curation of atomic habits and routines designed to serve a future version of yourself and your business. David asks founders one powerful question: what is the last chair around the table you gave up? Each role you release creates more freedom, more capacity, and more life. The two greatest gifts for any founder are community and coaching. Join an organization like EO or a local business network. Invest in a coach who meets you at your stage and holds you accountable to the leader you are becoming. Memorable Quotes "Perseverance is about curating a routine, atomic habits that let you drop the keys off to a future version of yourself." "If everything has to go through the owner, you are choking what could be happening to move the business forward." "Share the burden. That is what a team is for."

6/4/2026 HOW GOOD IS THE FIT IN YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAM? “MEASURE TWICE AND CUT ONCE!”EPISODE 1796RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO:

One of the hardest realities many new leaders face is this: inheriting a leadership title does not automatically mean you inherited the right leadership team. The question becomes, how do you know who needs development, who needs clarity, and who may no longer fit the future of the organization?Today, we're talking about one of the most emotionally difficult parts of leadership transition: Evaluating the leadership team you inherit.Because one of the greatest mistakes new leaders make is assuming they must either keep everyone or replace everyone quickly. Wise leadership requires discernment, patience, and honest evaluation.

The command to be thankful and give thanks is overwhelmingly one of the most repeated commands in Scripture. Thankfulness is an exercise of the will that helps us see life more from God's perspective. It becomes an antidote to bitterness, and the more we practice it, the more we strengthen and develop that seed of thankfulness in our lives.

Have you ever wondered why some companies dominate a market while everyone else competes in a crowded space, and what it takes to create a category of your own? If you're leading a business and looking for a way to stand out, this episode will challenge how you think about growth. Rather than competing in an existing market, you'll learn how category creation can help you define a new space, solve a bigger problem, and position your company as the leader others follow. Whether you're launching a new offering, refining your strategy, or aligning your leadership team around a bold vision, this conversation offers a practical framework for creating lasting competitive advantage. In this episode, you'll learn how to: Identify and define market problems that customers may not even realize they have—and turn them into opportunities for category leadership.

Avoid the common pitfalls that cause category creation efforts to fail, including lack of commitment, poor internal alignment, and inconsistent market education. Listen now to discover how a united leadership team can create and own a category instead of fighting for position in someone else's market. Check out: 2:55 – Why Market Product Fit Beats Product Market Fit Mike explains why category creators design the market first and then position their product within it, challenging one of the most common startup and growth assumptions. 8:05 – The Category Point of View Framework Learn the storytelling structure behind successful category creation, including how to define the villain (problem), position the customer as the victim, and introduce the category as the hero. 26:20 – Getting Your Leadership Team and Organization Aligned Mike shares why category creation fails when only marketing owns the strategy and how CEOs can align the leadership team, sales organization, and employees around a common vision. About Mike Damphouse Mike "Damp" Damphousse brings an experienced, pragmatic aspect to strategic category design from three decades as a founder, CEO, CMO, startup advisor, and a limited partner with Stage 2 Capital. As co-founder of Category Design Advisors and co-author of The Category Creation Formula, he works with management teams and investors to design categories that create enduring market value. 

The best leadership teams are not built on sameness. They're built on strengths.

This conversation goes beyond race and gender and dives into diversity of thought, communication styles, strengths, experiences, and leadership approaches. We cover: Why duplicating yourself as a leader limits growth How diverse thinking improves decision making The connection between inclusive culture and profitability Why organizations need visionaries, planners, executors, and collaborators How communication impacts diverse teams Creating a culture where people feel seen and valued Why people only go where they see themselves How diversity helps organizations better serve customers and teams If you want stronger culture, better leadership, improved decision making, and a healthier organization, this episode will challenge the way you build teams.

Most nonprofits invest in programs, fundraising, and staff development. Far fewer invest in their leadership team's ability to work well together. That gap costs more than people think. Drawing on 25 years of evidence-based team coaching, this session explores what actually drives leadership team effectiveness in nonprofits, what teams consistently get wrong when trying to improve, and where nonprofit teams may be different from their business sector counterparts. Tosca Bruno-van Vijfeijken is a nonprofit team and leadership coach and change management consultant working with US and international nonprofits. She is Principal Consultant at Five Oaks Consulting and co-author of "Between Power and Irrelevance: The Future of Transnational NGOs.”

There is a reason why Jesus picked people who were working when He was choosing His disciples. Today, we're pulling one from the archives: Discipleship Nuggets About Work. Work is redemptive because it teaches us responsibility, allows us to benefit others, gives us the ability to be generous, and trains us to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and live under authority.

On this week's episode of the Maximize Business Value Podcast, "Leadership Team as a Value Driver," host Kim Bentson is joined by Mastery Partners, Scott Couchenour and Gil Bean to discuss the critical importance of leadership teams and organizational structure in building business value. The speakers emphasize that a leadership team is not just for operational support but is a direct reflection of a company's value and risk profile. Key indicators of a valuable leadership team include empowerment, depth of bench strength, and the ability to own outcomes rather than just tasks.When leadership is not ready or is overly dependent on the owner, the business's risk increases and its valuation decreases.Listen to our podcast weekly to hear more from Mastery Partners and to receive relevant key content on your journey to maximizing your business value! #MasteryPartners #MaximizeBusinessValuePodcast #BusinessOwnerHotline #TRA #TransitionReadiness #ValueCreation #LeadershipGET THE BOOKS Start with Maximizing Business Value by Tom BronsonLearn More about Kim Bentson Kim Bentson is an accomplished Strategic Manager with a proven track record of delivering results.

There's one thing standing between you and a practice that runs without you: delegation.

Jesus' message was repetitive and clear: "Follow Me." Why would we lower the gospel to self-improvement? Even if someone didn't believe and simply followed biblical principles, their life might improve—but that isn't the gospel. Too often, we focus more on what we're stopping than where we're going. Jesus said, “Follow Me.” It really is that simple. Is there anything you're waiting on before taking that next step of obedience?

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor tackles one of the biggest barriers to scaling: the conversations leadership teams avoid that could unlock growth.  Debra exposes the “polite meeting trap,” where teams stay comfortable, avoid conflict, and leave meetings with no real decisions or progress. While it may feel safe, this behaviour quietly stalls growth and erodes accountability. She makes it clear that politeness does not build great businesses, effectiveness does.  The episode dives into why leaders avoid hard conversations in the first place. Fear of conflict, protecting relationships, and power dynamics all play a role. When the most senior leader avoids tough topics, the entire team follows, leading to side conversations, misalignment, and slow execution.  Debra explains how EOS provides the structure needed to make these conversations easier and more productive. With clear roles, accountability, and objective data, teams can separate people from problems and focus on solving real issues without emotion taking over.  She also shares practical strategies to shift from avoidance to action, including eliminating sidebar conversations, bringing issues into the room, and regularly assessing whether team members are aligned with core values and truly fit their roles. If your leadership team feels stuck, overly polite, or avoids the real issues, this episode is a direct call to step up, have the conversations that matter, and create the clarity needed to grow.         CONNECT WITH DEBRA:    ___________________________________________          ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: debra@businessaction.com.au  ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/  ►Claim Your Free E-Book: https://www.businessaction.co.nz/free-e-book/          Episode 270 Chapters:     00:00 – Introduction 00:55 – EOS Thinking and the Importance of Honest Conversations  02:46 – The Polite Meeting Trap  04:17 – The Founder and Power Dynamic Problem  05:58 – The Role of Structure in Facilitating Hard Conversations  06:49 – Ad Lib Questions and Answers  11:44 – The Real Cost of Polite Meetings  13:59 – Structures That Make Hard Conversations Safer  15:43 – The Importance of Regular Reflection and Conversations

In this episode, I share how competing against a two-time world champion in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu shaped my understanding of leadership and personal growth. I highlight the significance of hard work and preparation, drawing parallels between competition and leadership challenges in business. I discuss overcoming fears, resilience, and the continuous journey of growth, likening the path to success to the pursuit of a black belt. I outline three key lessons: growth knows no limits, preparation is vital, and the most significant battles occur within our minds. I hope to inspire listeners to embrace their leadership journeys with courage and resilience.

In God's system, there is an obligation to pay off debt. Today, Keith continues the conversation on God's economic system. It's not just about giving God 10%, but about not doing whatever you want with the other 90%. There is giving, but there is also a greater call to wise management.

The Bible encourages helping people get out of debt. God has an economic system. While the government is not equipped to practice it, the Church is. And His economic system starts with the tithe.

Send us Fan MailWe're celebrating our 100th episode of Get Amplified by bringing in Troy Stoll from Dynatrace (APAC), an energising leader who's lived what it really takes to make alignment stick. If you've seen strong teams slowed by silos, mixed metrics, or underlying friction, this is a clearer way forward. By aligning on a shared North Star and working back to remove friction between marketing, sales, services, and customer success, the APAC team is now executing with real pace and consistency. We get into why over-communication is a leadership responsibility, especially as teams evolve, new leaders join, and priorities shift. It's less about telling people what to do, and more about helping them understand why it matters and where they fit into the bigger picture.A big part of the story is the Switch change framework and why shared language matters more than most leaders realise. We break down its three core ideas: finding the bright spots (what's already working), shaping the path (making the right behaviours easier to follow), and motivating the elephant (tapping into what actually drives people to act). The shift here is simple but powerful: stop trying to fix everything, and start amplifying what already works. That's what shrinks change and helps it land faster across teams, cultures, and geographies.Troy also connects this to the Team Speed Check as a practical way to surface purpose, trust, clarity, and simplicity, so leaders aren't guessing what's going on, they're responding to reality.If you're looking for actionable ideas on cross-functional leadership, communication, and building trust that shows up in pipeline, renewals, and better customer outcomes, this one's worth your time.Subscribe to Get Amplified, share this milestone episode with a colleague.We would love you to follow us on LinkedIn! https://www.linkedin.com/company/amplified-group/

This is the seventh sermon is our series "Reverse The Curse" and the title of this sermon is "The Spirit" – Kristine Skal is on the Leadership Team at The Gospel Tabernacle. April 12, 2026.

God has an economic plan that much of our culture has overlooked. When an economy is broken, people don't just lack resources, they lose responsibility and often the ability to sustain themselves. The answer isn't throwing money at the problem. The Biblical model is personal investment—investment that calls something out of people, not just meets a need in them. That's why what's happening in Ukraine has produced such significant fruit. What was sown into them didn't stop with them, they've reinvested it. Their hands haven't just been out, they've been up.

We have a voice and we need to use our voice. Don't be mad—do something righteous. In this episode, Pastor Keith dives into some of the tensions shaping our culture today.

In this episode of The Operational Arch, host Major DJ Taylor hands the mic over to three key SAMS leaders: Mr. Kirk Dorr (Deputy Director of the School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS)), Dr. Bruce Stanley (Director of the Advanced Military Studies Program (AMSP)), and Colonel Paul Godson (Deputy Director of AMSP). Together, they pull back the curtain on the Advanced Military Studies Program, covering what it is, what it produces, and exactly how officers can go from being curious about the program to becoming a competitive applicant. They dispel myths about AMSP as merely a "planners' school" and show how the program develops leaders to meet the Army's most demanding missions as experts in Army and joint doctrine, leading diverse operational planning teams, and enabling senior leaders. The ten-month program focuses on warfighting, operational art, and the critical and creative thinking required to anticipate and adapt to rapid change on the modern battlefield.0:00 Intro and Guest Introductions4:20 How Has AMSP Changed Over the Years?8:48 What Does the Operational Force Expect from Graduates?10:16 What Attributes Define a Strong AMSP Student?14:25 The Flow of the Academic Year (June–May)19:52 How to Get Competitive / The Application Process23:36 The AMSP Exam and Interview27:19 Selection , the HRC Marketplace, & Recent Process Changes35:22 How to Prepare / Tips for Applicants44:40 "What If I Don't Want to Be a Planner?"46:10 Family Considerations49:57 What Should Every Graduate Take With Them? 52:51 Closing Remarks

True teachers motivate people to do good things. Your speech should be so solid that it stirs people to action. In Titus 3, Paul instructs us to avoid foolish controversy. If it doesn't edify, change lives, engage people, or motivate them toward good works, it only creates a disruptive culture. Measure the fruit of it, and then take action. Be a leader, not just a listener. Don't cultivate a culture that entertains controversies the Bible has already addressed.

In this episode, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof are joined by Oren Shai, organizational psychologist, somatic executive coach, and NSI-certified practitioner, for a conversation about what happens when nervous system literacy meets the corporate world. After years working inside large organizations, including LinkedIn, Oren kept seeing the same pattern: all the right strategies, all the right tactics, and none of the essential human work getting done. What if the quality of your leadership isn't determined by your intelligence, experience, or decision-making frameworks—but by your nervous system's capacity to feel? In this conversation, we explore how emotional repression, trauma patterns, and chronic stress shape leadership, team dynamics, and organizational culture—and why so many high performers are operating at a hidden cost to their health, relationships, and sense of self. This episode is for leaders, entrepreneurs, practitioners, and anyone who has ever found themselves doing everything "right" professionally, while feeling depleted, disconnected, or like they're holding it all together behind the scenes. Because leadership isn't just about what you do. It's about what your nervous system can hold.   In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why the quality of leadership is tied directly to nervous system capacity Why high performers are often high performers because of trauma, not despite it The difference between nervous system regulation as coping versus as a foundation for aligned action Why leaders are emotionally contagious, and what that means for organizational health What embodied leadership looks like, and why it changes everything for teams Chapters  0:00 - The Doorway Into the Real Conversation: Co-Founders and What Goes Unnamed 1:08 - Welcome: What Leadership Capacity Actually Requires 2:51 - Introducing Oren Shai: From the Tech World to Somatic Executive Coaching 7:10 - What Elisabeth Hears from Women Executives When No One Else Is Listening 11:43 - Organizations Have a Nervous System Too 13:31 - Leaders Are Emotionally Contagious: The Ripple Effect of Embodied Leadership 22:39 - How Oren Opens the Conversation with Leadership Teams 30:14 - Most Careers Are Fueled by Coffee and Trauma 37:25 - Why Individual Work Alone Cannot Create Organizational Change 43:45 - Slowing Down Enough to Remember What Aliveness Feels Like 51:35 - Moving From Nervous System Regulation as Coping to Capacity as a Daily Practice 57:50 - Closing Reflection: Start Close In Ways to Engage with Neurosomatics    Capacity Gap: Free BrainBased workshop for entrepreneurs, leaders and high-performers: rewirecapacity.com Two week trail of BrainBased membership for neurosomatic practices and nervous system rehabilitation and health: rewiretrial.com  Introduction to NSI for practitioners, coaches and therapists - The NSI foundations Bundle: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/workshops/ Connect with Oren Shai: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oshai/ Watch Trauma Rewired on YouTube - Subscribe here Learn more about psychedelic neuroscience and neurosomatics on Sacred Synapse with Jennifer Wallace   Disclaimer: Trauma Rewired podcast is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.

God's Word is amazingly wise. We should take His precepts and apply them. In this episode, Keith Tucci unpacks more biblical principles about immigration. To those who are diametrically opposed to you or who refuse to assimilate, we should not seek their peace and prosperity. That is different from offering a drink of water or treating them with basic humanity. Be kind to them, but do not empower them.
