Podcasts about Leadership

In today's fast-paced business environment, effective leadership is crucial for achieving sustainable business growth and organizational effectiveness. Mechanical leaders often create mechanical results, which can hinder a company's ability to adapt to a paradigm shift in business and ultimately limit its potential for long-term success. By adopting a living organization framework and focusing on human development in organizations, leaders can foster a corporate culture change that prioritizes heart-centered leadership, emotional intelligence, and servant leadership principles. This approach enables leaders to develop innovative leadership strategies that promote collective identity in teams, enhance team dynamics, and drive strategy execution. As a result, organizations can experience a significant transformation, leading to improved leadership maturity and a more human-centric approach to business. By embracing this new perspective, leaders can unlock their full potential and create a positive impact on their organizations, ultimately achieving remarkable results and driving sustainable growth. Discover how mechanical leaders can create mechanical results and learn how to break free from this cycle to achieve exceptional leadership transformation and organizational effectiveness.The discussion centers on the transformative paradigm introduced by Norman Wolfe, where organizations are reimagined not just as mechanical structures but as living, evolving entities. This change in perspective prompts a significant reevaluation of leadership methods, urging leaders to adopt a heart-centered approach that values human potential over the traditional focus on optimizing resources like machines. Wolfe points out that the current paradigm has created a disconnect between strategy execution and the overall development of people, resulting in a surprising statistic—the fact that roughly 70% of organizations stumble in their strategic efforts. As we explore the details of this living organization model, it becomes clear that an organization's success is closely tied to the collective maturity and relational dynamics of its members. Therefore, effective leadership depends on cultivating environments where collaboration and personal initiative flourish, ultimately increasing organizational resilience and flexibility in facing today's challenges.Takeaways:Leadership in contemporary organizations necessitates a paradigm shift from mechanistic approaches to recognizing organizations as living systems, emphasizing the importance of nurturing human development alongside business outcomes.Norman Wolfe's Living Organization framework posits that sustainable growth is intrinsically linked to the development of individuals within an organization, highlighting the necessity for leaders to cultivate maturity and capability among their teams.The persistent failure of 70% of organizations to effectively execute strategy stems from a prevalent paradigm trap that restricts innovative thinking, necessitating a reevaluation of traditional operational methodologies.To foster a culture of ownership and engagement, leaders must transition from simply directing tasks to facilitating collaborative contribution, thereby enhancing the collective identity of teams within the organizational ecosystem.The concept of 'heart-centered wisdom' emerges as a pivotal guiding principle, advocating for leaders to prioritize authentic connections and emotional intelligence in their interactions with team members.As organizations face escalating complexity and unpredictability in their environments, the Living Organization model offers a resilient framework that empowers adaptability and responsiveness to dynamic market conditions.Links referenced in this episode:quantumleaders.comthelivingorganization.comMentioned in this episode:My friend Dr. Noah St. John calls this 'the invisible brake.'

Confidence, clarity, and speaking when it matters.Confident communication isn't about being the loudest in the room. For Susie Wolff, it's about displaying assurance before you even open your mouth.Wolff is a former professional race car driver, managing director of F1 Academy, and author of Driven. Throughout her career in one of the world's most male-dominated industries, she's learned that confidence starts within. “If you want others to believe in you, you need to at least have confidence in your own abilities,” she says. By letting her capabilities speak for themselves, Wolff felt she didn't have to. “I was never the loudest voice in the room. But I made sure when I did speak that I really had something to say.”In this special episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, co-hosted by Matt Abrahams and Tiggy Valen, Wolff shares how inner drive creates outer clarity. From delivering hard truths with empathy to achieving buy-in for a bold vision, Wolff offers lessons on communicating with confidence, even in the face of stiff competition.Episode Reference Links:Susie WolffSusie's Book: DrivenTiggy ValenPaddock ProjectEp.235 Refine, Reframe, Repeat: Make Your Communication a Slam Dunk  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:06) - Early Motorsport Passion (04:01) - Finding Your Voice (05:33) - Building Confidence (06:28) - Becoming a Leader (08:48) - Cross-Cultural Communication (09:57) - Building F1 Academy (14:20) - Giving Tough Feedback (17:32) - Embracing Discomfort (20:01) - The Final Three Questions (26:18) - Conclusion  ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Troy James. Founder & CEO of For Laura (formerly referenced as Velora platform)Topic Focus: Leadership, identity, purpose, pressure, and performance Interview Purpose The purpose of the interview is to help high-performing leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals understand how separating identity from performance leads to healthier leadership, resilience, and long-term success. Through Troy James’s framework—rooted in leadership psychology, faith, and strategy—the conversation challenges listeners to move beyond outcome-driven validation and reconnect with purpose, values, and internal alignment, especially under pressure. Core Themes Discussed Identity vs. performance Leadership under pressure Purpose vs. goals Burnout and misalignment Faith, strategy, and leadership intersections Corporate leadership vs. entrepreneurship Tools for self-reflection and realignment Key Takeaways 1. High Performers Often Tie Identity to Results Many successful leaders measure their worth by outcomes. When results fluctuate, so does their sense of stability. When identity becomes tangled with performance, leadership becomes unstable under pressure. Insight: Performance-driven leadership creates burnout; purpose-driven leadership creates longevity. 2. Pressure Is Not the Enemy—It’s a Signal Pressure reveals gaps in alignment rather than causing failure. Pressure is never the problem. Pressure is a signal. Insight: The issue is not pressure itself, but how leaders interpret and respond to it. 3. Purpose Is Broader Than Goals Goals are strategic steps; purpose is the why behind the steps. Goals = what you want to achieve Purpose = why your work matters to others Your purpose is always bigger than the work that you do. Insight: You can achieve goals without feeling fulfilled if purpose is missing. 4. Burnout Comes From Forgetting Identity Burnout shows up when leaders lose touch with who they are while trying to satisfy systems, expectations, or results. When you forget who you are, pressure begins to eat at you. Insight: Success without identity alignment leads to emptiness, even if externally applauded. 5. Leaders Must Be Able to Name Their Skills Many successful people cannot articulate why they are successful. When you can’t speak to your skills and gifts, you don’t recognize how you got to your success. Insight: Naming your skills creates clarity, confidence, and protection against outside noise. 6. Faith and Strategy Are Not Opposites Faith does not replace planning—it informs it. Faith and strategy are not opposites. They are leadership. Insight: Trusting purpose while executing strategy creates grounded, ethical leadership. 7. Entrepreneurship and Corporate Roles Share the Same Pressure—Different Forms The environment changes, but identity challenges remain. Character is character. Identity is identity. Pressure is pressure. Insight: Whether corporate or entrepreneurial, leaders must address internal alignment. The Pathfinder Method (Troy James’s Framework) Troy outlines a structured leadership alignment process called The Pathfinder Method, designed to help leaders separate identity from performance. Four Key Stages: Resonance – Noticing misalignment across roles, energy, rhythm, and voice Design – Articulating purpose and rediscovering skills Courage (Becoming) – Living aligned identity under pressure Execution – Leading from clarity rather than fear or validation Notable Quotes “Your identity craves purpose.” “Your purpose is the reason you are here for other people.” “Nothing fixes itself—notice it and do something about it.” “You can’t control the noise, but you can control how you process it.” “When you own your truth, no one else can define you.” Overall Impact of the Interview This conversation serves as a leadership mirror—especially for: Entrepreneurs Executives Creatives High achievers experiencing burnout Leaders navigating pressure and transition It reframes success not as endless achievement, but as alignment between identity, purpose, and performance. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On how the Spartans achieved emotional mastery, long before Stoicism was invented.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. In this episode, she's speaking with Daniel Coyle about his new book, Flourish, The Art of Building Meaning, Joy and Fulfillment.  What is a meaningful life, and how do we make one? How do certain communities foster closeness, fulfillment, happiness, and energy?  Daniel Coyle has spent the last few years trying to crack this code.  He talks about the transformation that happened during the famous story of the 33 miners trapped 2000 feet underground in a mine in Chile.  It turns that the key to survival was a leader who was willing to let go of control.  You can't command and control your way to flourishing--or surviving in a crisis.  Background on Daniel Coyle: Daniel is the New York Times bestselling author of The Culture Code, which was named Best Business Book of the Year by Bloomberg, BookPal, and Business Insider. Coyle has served as an advisor to many high-performing organizations, including the Navy SEALs, Microsoft, Google, and the Cleveland Guardians. His other books include The Talent Code, The Secret Race, The Little Book of Talent, and Hardball: A Season in the Projects, which was made into a movie starring Keanu Reeves. Coyle was raised in Anchorage, Alaska, and now lives in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, during the school year and in Homer, Alaska, during the summer with his wife, Jenny, and their four children.

Christians are a singing people! But what songs should we sing? And how should we sing them? In this episode, Jared Wilson and Ronni Kurtz discuss the content and attitudes of Christian worship music.

The independent investigation into Greater Grace World Outreach didn't pull punches. It named four leaders who should be removed — the senior pastor, the missions director, the youth pastor, and the youth ministry director. It said the organization couldn't meaningfully reform while they remained in authority. It described a culture of authoritarian control, victim silencing, and institutional self-protection spanning decades.The church published the report on its own website. Then came the reckoning — or what should have been one.What actually happened: a general apology with no specific names attached to specific failures. A roadmap for future transitions with no dates. Some lower-level ordinations pulled. The four named leaders still in place. And when an evangelical financial accountability organization put the church under governance review, Greater Grace resigned rather than complete the process.For the former members who spent years building the case that made this investigation happen — the Millstones, the survivors, the people who risked everything to speak — the response confirmed what they already suspected: the same leadership that created the problem isn't going to fix it.Elita Galvin has been tracking this from before the official investigation existed. Her podcast Looking for Grace has become the running record of Greater Grace's unraveling. Oscar — under a pseudonym, still navigating the trauma twenty years after leaving — brings the human cost of what happens when an institution you trusted refuses to account for what it did to you.This episode covers the investigation's key findings, the institutional response, the IBLP and Duggar parallels, the active lawsuits, and what comes next.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Kiera walks listeners through a list of questions that should be answered before officially stepping away from your job. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:01) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and today is gonna be a fun day. Like, are you ready about it? Let's talk about when you wanna quit. All team members, all bosses, every single one of us has that. And yet we're so freaking scared to say that out loud. And I just want you to know that like, it's okay to say you wanna quit. It's okay to say you don't wanna do it. And I want to just give you some tactical pieces to navigate through these tricky times. And also like, what do we do when we wanna quit? And to know, are we really ready to be done?   or is it a season that we can change? So you guys at the Dental A Team, I'm obsessed. Our job is to love on you to positively impact the world of dentistry in the greatest way possible. I love doing dentistry. My last name's freaking Dent. I love working with clients. We work with clients one-on-one. We fly to practices. We work with you virtually. And we also have in-person masterminds where doctors and leadership teams come together to truly like be inspired. We call it life and dentistry on purpose. I'm super excited and I hope you can be a part of that. So let's talk about like, all right.   When do I want to quit? And like, let's kind of matrix it down. So when I'm looking at when I want to quit, I break it down to like, what things do I still enjoy doing? Do you still like doing dentistry? Do still like like helping team members? Do you still have patients? It's okay. You can have the list of like, what things do I still love and what things do I absolutely hate? And I just think it's like, most of the time, when I talk to doctors and like, I want to sell my freaking practice care, I want to just give up and quit or office manager like, I'm just sick of this.   When I asked them like, okay, let's talk about what you really don't like. Most of the time for owner doctors, it's usually cashflow and it's usually people management. Well, guess what? Great news. Doctor, you weren't meant to be the people manager. High five. Congratulations. Like, let's get you out of that seat. You're not the right person for that seat. So you're exhausted because you're trying to be the dentist. You're trying to be like the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, all within the practice. And that's freaking exhausting. And it's not what you were even like meant to be. Dentists, a lot of you are introverts. How do I know this? Cause you work in a like teeny tiny little mouth all day long.   And you're like, gosh, I'm not gonna go like wow and dazzle these people. And I know you're more extroverted but introverted, but like you have to have a piece of that because you work in like such small, small, small mouths all day long and work on smudge, small tiny teeth that like trying to be this expansive human and be on social media and be this person, it's exhausting. And so I just want you to show like, okay, what can we do and how do we figure out what this is going to be? And I just think like, this is our role. This is how we look at it. And for everybody to figure out like,   What happens when I feel this way? So number one is I want you to think of what do I really, really love doing and do I still love doing that? Then number two, what things are like exhausting and draining? Now, it might get thrilling. You might say, hmm, I don't enjoy anything. Well, great. Today's not the day for you to be answering this question then. I want you to be honest because I look at it and sometimes I'm like, hey, well, I still really love getting on the podcast. Some days I look at my day and I'm like, ⁓ I'm terrified for it.   Other days though, most of the time, I was like 90 % of the time, I genuinely get so lit up and so excited to podcast and meet new people and give you guys great tips and tactical pieces and like, cool, let's go to the next thousands of episodes and how can I help you guys and like come up with topics you haven't heard of or change it with the landscape? I genuinely still love that. I still love coaching clients. love like, brush my shoulders off. Like I love to help a client like go from where they are to where they didn't believe was possible and to help them get there with ease and help their team and help them and like,   Like when I get off calls and I get text messages from team members saying like, here, you just totally changed your mind or we always love them and get on your calls because you bring so much positivity or doctors like, gosh, that was like such a good call, like you were looking so far down the line, things we didn't even think about. Like I still light up on that. I still love going into offices and just like brush my shoulders off, like killer visit that you didn't even know was possible. I still love to do mastermind events. I love to bring doctors together. It freaking scares me. I usually cry every single time. It's like so many emotions that like   come into me and out of me all in one moment. Like, I don't know why I do them, but I love it. I love hearing how we're changing people's lives. love when people are like, my gosh, I didn't even know this. Or like, we share resources together and people get to meet. Like, I'm so excited. We're about to run one. And like, I am giddy to see all these people that I love so much in one room and get to share like best friends with each other. I still love that. I still love figuring out new content and new ways to help dentists like thrive. I still love that. Things I don't love doing. ⁓   I hate running meetings. Like I hate them. I do. So what do I do instead of sitting here complaining and saying, I want to quit. Is there another option? And, um, I had a business coach tell me, said, Kiera, instead of thinking like, which door do I need to go through? Why don't I look at all the doors that are available for me? And that to me was such a freeing thing. Like, okay, so we could quit. You can like, let's just put that as an option. We can also sell the practice, like another option.   Then the third thing is like, well, if managing people stressing me out, I can hire a fractional COO. Didn't even know that was a thing. So if you've got like multiple practices and you're like, can't find a regional, they're expensive. I'm talking like 180 to 250. I'm not joking. That's like literally how much they cost and they're working part time. It's really fun, but they're smart and they know how to run businesses and drive things. You can hire a regional manager. You can hire, if you're like, I'm so tired of doing dentistry, you can hire an associate like.   Could I have this? they're like, yeah, but Kiera, I still have to manage. Not wrong. What if my manager became a partner in the practice? So they're tethered in and they're like part of the practice. You can do this. Like, what if it's like, I just feel like I can't ever take vacations. Well, great. Let's like figure out how many vacations you want. Let's figure out the numbers of what we need to produce when you're there. Or we change up our overhead. Like, great. These are all solutions. ⁓ Kiera, I'm just so tired of managing teams. Well, let's see how many team members you're managing and do we need to add leadership members and train them to be leaders?   We've got books, we've got training, we've got courses that we can send them to, to help them be great leaders. Like, I think so often we just feel like it's a, I'm sick of it I'm going to quit or I'm going to sell my practice. And then I think about it. This is how I play the game. I've actually talked to a decent amount of brokers working with clients over the years. And I think something that gets lost is what do we do afterwards? What's your plan after? And is that something that's going to be fulfilling for you or not? You're like, I'm   for me, I'm like, I know exactly what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take two years off. I'm not gonna talk to a single soul. It's gonna last me two months, guarantee you. I'm gonna go out and work out every single day. Well, great, I could do that now, I? I'm going to travel and see my family more. Okay, great, like talk me through. What is it really gonna look like? Could we do that now? And I think we oftentimes limit our opportunities in the moment of what we're doing and we like exasperate our opportunities thinking of what it would be like versus   Could I not have this life that I'm dreaming up today? And could I actually delegate or pay? Like I think about this, a lot of dentists, make pretty good money. A lot of our clients are usually making 200 on my low end a year, up to like 10 to 12 million a year plus. Okay? So when I look at this, I remember I had an office, they were netting, I think 1.2 million. And they're like, it's just not worth it for me to do this anymore. And I said, really? You're taking home 1.2 post-tax.   You're only working four days a week. You're off every single day at three. 1.2 is not worth it. You're gonna have freaking problems. Like you will, that's part of it. You signed up for a business. It's not gonna all go away. You're still gonna have issues. Things are gonna break. But you're also making 1.2. You could go be an associate and make 200,000, no issue and have none of these problems. Is that what you wanna do? There is no right or wrong answer. But I really think it's like, let's look at this and let's see how can we actually make this better? How can we like?   Could I fix any of these things? For me, when I look at it, I'm like, all right, I'm sick of running meetings. We're hiring a full-time COO. I can't wait. It's gonna cost me my arm, my leg, and my throat. Like, awesome. But it's gonna give me so much of my time back and they're gonna help grow us so much. someone told me something so great the other day. They said hiring right people, right seat should not cost you any more money. It's wrong people, wrong seat that cost you money.   The right person, right seat, you should look back. I remember we did this, we hired a treatment coordinator and I was like, my gosh, we can't afford her. Like I remember this day and I was like begging the doctor, we are partners. And I was like, give me three months with this person. Like I think we can like navigate three months and if she's not paying for herself, we'll cut bait. And I remember I interviewed this girl, her name was Kristen. And I said, Kristen, you got three months to prove yourself. Otherwise I have to fire you. Like, I can't keep you going. Like I've gotten the doctor to like say yes to it. Within her first month, this girl was paying for herself. And that's how right people, right seat should be.   You should be in 90 days, be like, what have we ever done without them? They're paying for themselves, they're driving our practice forward. Wrong people, wrong seat, or what cost you money? So when I look at this and I'm like, okay, so like I'm gonna give up my arm, my leg, and my soul. It's gonna be great to hire this person, but my stress goes down. Am I willing to take that much of a pay decrease? Yeah, I am. Because what it's gonna equate to is I'm gonna have more of this, this, and this while still being able to do all the things in the business I love.   And this is Kiera coming to you where I've definitely had that moment, like catch me on the wrong day, Dental A Team's yours for a buck. And I say that out of jest, not because I actually mean it, but I say that in hopes that you can empathize and you can relate and you can see that I'm a true business owner just like you. That I have hard days, I have great days, I have days where I'm like, ⁓ I built this, I coach on this. You want to talk about imposter syndrome? Well, hi, I'm Kiera.   I think we so often just feel like, don't know, we feel like this isn't what it was supposed to look like. And I'm like, you're right, because you didn't know. And if you would have known, you wouldn't taken the risk. But there's so much good in beauty, if I can see it. So action items are tactical when you want to quit. Number one, make the list of things that you still love doing. Push yourself. Number two, have every single door that possibly could be open still open. And then let's figure out what's the other side of the equation for that. If I sell.   What is my life going to look like? If I quit, what's my life going to look like? If I hire a COO or an office manager or a regional manager, what can my life look like? There's recruiters that hire these people. What about an associate doctor that could take the load off? I'm going to take a pay cut, but like I would have the freedom that I want. What if I scaled back and only work two days a week and I have the rest of it? Like, I don't think that practice owners realize that you have so many more cards in your deck than you give yourself credit for.   And I think for you to maybe step back, even office managers, like, guess what? You're living a great life over there. You got a lot of freedoms. So when I look at this, I just feel like it's okay. And then I think next to have like detach our feelings from leadership standard. Being a big CEO is a shift. You're not going to feel inspired every day. You're not going to feel patient every day. You're not going to feel energized every day. Leadership's not a mood. It's a standard.   And I want you to remember your team does not need a perfect leader. They need a steady one. Showing up calmly on hard days will build more trust than showing up energized on an easy one. And so I think when you look at this, I think it's recognizing that the fabric of business ownership is not going to be the highs and it's not going to be the lows. It's the everything in between. And if you can figure out what still energizes you, how you can make that life today, and then realizing if all that's gone,   it might be time for you to quit and that's also okay. But I'd encourage you to explore and sometimes having a coach that can see outside like I got like 200 more crayons in the box compared to your 10. Like let's color. Let's see what other things could we do before you give up and maybe guess what it is. But why not give it a try of something different before we try that route? And that's just what I'd encourage you because a lot of people do sell and a lot of people give up and they quit and then they regret it and they wish. I know one friend out of about 50   that does not regret it. But if I've got 49 others that do, maybe that's telling us to maybe be a little more cautious, recognize that this is day in, day out, and also find the joy, find the beauty, find the fun within so we can show up in the best way possible. This is what we live to do. We live to help CEOs become CEOs and own office managers become great office managers and to get your team and your practice working for you, not you working for your practice. Did you hear that? It should work for you, not you working for it.   So let's work together. Let's figure it out. Let's paint with more crayons in the crayon box. Let's see how we can help you out with this. So reach out because honestly, ownership will feel heavier than you ever expected. It's not a problem. It's nothing wrong with you. You're not broken. It's just a signal for you to look for different opportunities. This is what we're obsessed with. So reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com or click on our website and go book a call. It's complimentary. We'll just give you a good roadmap. So at least you have like direction of where to go. So reach out. I'd love to help you. And as always just know I'm giving you a giant hug.   I'm rooting for you and I'd love to do it with you in real life at the mastermind. I'd love to do it with you in your office with our team, or I'd love to just have you closer to my inner circle. You're doing better than you think you are. I'm giving you a giant hug. I'm cheering you on and I'd love to connect with you. Thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

What can you do to improve your executive presence? Perception of your leadership abilities directly impacts your career trajectory, for better or worse. You've likely heard of executive presence before, but even though it often comes up in the context of something to improve, it's difficult for many people to identify a clear path to make that improvement. My guest, Dr. Alexa Chilcutt, is an executive communication expert at Johns Hopkins University and wrote the book, “The Presence Principle.” In it, she offers a 3-step framework to demystify this confusing but vital professional trait once and for all. Alexa joins me on the podcast to get into the weeds about what executive presence is and how we can cultivate it to become more impactful leaders. Give your career trajectory a boost with Alexa's research-backed perspective: What executive presence is, and what it's not; Why you don't have to impersonate the traditional leader archetype to succeed in your career; The impact of initial and enduring impressions; The three-adjectives activity that will pump up your leadership presence progress.

A 172-page independent investigation into Greater Grace World Outreach found something beyond the alleged abuse itself. It found the system that kept it hidden.At the center: two theological teachings that functioned as silencing tools. One took a Christian doctrine about grace and pushed it until confronting a leader about harm was treated as your spiritual deficiency. The other classified anyone who raised concerns as carrying "evil reports" — a label that made you radioactive within the community. People would cut ties with you just to protect themselves.The investigation documented case after case where this played out. Parents reporting that their children had been harmed. Leadership responding not with action, but with theology — invoking forgiveness, redirecting blame, and shielding the institution. The investigators concluded that this wasn't a series of isolated failures. It was a culture, reinforced from the top, that systematically prioritized the organization over the people inside it.Elita Galvin has been investigating Greater Grace for years through her podcast Looking for Grace. She's the person who understands the documented cases and the institutional response better than almost anyone outside the investigation itself. Oscar — our guest joining audio-only under a pseudonym — experienced these doctrines as a believer. He absorbed them. He trusted them. It took years after leaving for him to understand what they were actually built to do.This episode connects the theology to the outcomes. When your belief system makes accountability a sin, the institution doesn't need a cover-up. The doctrine is the cover-up.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Inscrivez-vous à mon nouveau Grand Live gratuit “Les clés pour ne jamais manquer de clients” : https://www.demian.education/grand-live-le-systeme-pour-ne-plus-jamais-manquer-de-clientsMon invité du jour, vous le connaissez peut-être pour ses étoiles. Mais ce que vous ne savez probablement pas, c'est que derrière cet immense succès, se cache un homme dont la vie est marquée par le doute.Arnaud Donckele est l'un des chefs les plus étoilés de sa génération. Avec 8 étoiles Michelin réparties dans 3 restaurants, il a été élu meilleur chef du monde par ses pairs en 2019.3 étoiles à Cheval Blanc St Tropez, 3 étoiles à Plénitude Cheval Blanc Paris, 2 étoiles au restaurant japonais Hakuba, également situé au Cheval Blanc Paris.Et pourtant ce fils de charcutier, passé d'échec en échec scolaire, n'a jamais cru en lui-même. Jusqu'à maintenant, il n'estime pas être un "grand chef".Cette humilité n'est pas une posture. J'ai été frappée de comprendre que le doute est en réalité sa plus grande force. C'est ce qui lui permet de ne jamais rien prendre pour acquis, de ne jamais être satisfait, de toujours chercher à grandir.On pense souvent que le doute est négatif et qu'il paralyse. Mais Arnaud Donckele nous montre que l'absence de certitude est aussi un chemin vers le succès. "C'est quand on croit être bon que la régression opère dit-il, comme son père avant lui. N'y-a-t-il donc pas une force à ne jamais se satisfaire ? N'est-ce pas là le secret de son immense talent ?Cette question m'a fait réfléchir, car elle va à l'encontre du discours actuel sur le succès. C'est le fil rouge de notre discussion.Mais je ne vous en dis pas plus et laisse place à ma conversation avec Arnaud Donckele.Bonne écoute ✨Notes et références de l'épisode ✨ Pour retrouver Arnaud Donckele : Sur Instagram ✨ Pour retrouver ses restaurants : Cheval Blanc St TropezPlénitude Cheval Blanc ParisHakuba✨ Le livre cité par Arnaud Donckele : Une vie par le menu de Frédéric Laffont*Lien affilié Fnac✨ Le film cité par Arnaud Donckele :Les Uns et les Autres de Claude Lelouch Chapitrage00:00 – 8 étoiles Michelin, mais toujours le doute01:57 – Une enfance entre terre, travail et échec scolaire09:41 – Kayak, cuisine et obsession de l'effort14:04 – L'apprentissage comme seconde chance19:48 – Le syndrome de l'imposteur après les étoiles24:29 – L'obsession du détail : assiette, salle, émotion33:54 – La rencontre décisive avec Bernard Arnault38:53 – Créer Plénitude et se mettre en danger43:17 – Deux maisons, deux équipes, une même exigence45:55 – Progresser quand on est déjà au sommet49:20 – Rester cuisinier avant de devenir restaurateur55:50 – Le crible du Podcast58:42 – Le doute, les 10 000 heures et l'expertise01:07:27 – Ce que ses faiblesses lui ont appris01:19:39 – Les livres recommandés par Arnaud DonckeleHébergé par Audiomeans.

Office politics doesn't happen because people are scheming. It happens because no one wrote anything down. In the absence of clear ways of working, the preferences of the most powerful people fill the vacuum and suddenly half your attention is spent learning whose attachment format to use rather than doing the actual work. In this episode, Rodney and Sam dig into one of the most universal and underdiagnosed org patterns: the political operating system. They explore why politics can feel more fun than good process, why "influence without authority" is just pandering with better branding, and how to start replacing implicit norms with something more durable than whoever's in the room at that moment. -------------------------------- Ready to change your organization? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let's talk.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get our newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -------------------------------- Mentioned references: The Ready's OS Canvas: https://www.theready.com/os-canvas Essential Intent: BNW Ep. 90 with Greg McKeown Even/Overs: BNW Ep. 44 Dual Transformation: AWWTR Ep. 43 Andrea Robb Action Meeting Episode: BNW Ep. 80 with Sam Spurlin Directly Responsible Individual (DRI) User Manual to Me: BNW Ep. 159 00:00 Intro + Check-In: What's a skill you rarely get to show off? 03:08 The Pattern: We cater to those in power when there's no org clarity 05:17 Leveraging relationships to do work feels good in the moment 09:12 Discerning what's best for a leader vs. best for the work 13:11 Experience navigating CEO preference 17:06 Politics is more fun than building a good OS 20:12 Leaders come and go, and take their preferences with them 22:08 Politicking wastes organizational attention 27:00 Short term politics at odds with long term value 31:32 Andrea Robb's organizing principles 34:23 Leadership politics keeps you from the truth 37:10 Example navigating a leader during an offsite 41:33 Change #1: Don't depend on only one person 43:55 Change #2: Get a new set of eyes to challenge assumptions 46:34 Change #3: Write.

Americans have had to remove the late Cesar Chavez from the pedestals we've put him on amidst a recent torrent of credible allegations aimed at him of sexual abuse, rape and pedophilia. This has resulted in a newfound interest in Larry Itliong, a Filipino American labor organizer who's often called the "Father of the West Coast Labor Movement." Until now, he's been unfairly overshadowed by the iconic Chavez, but Larry's son Johnny is relieved that more of the unabridged history of that movement is now finding an audience.

In 2017, Wayne Hsiung and a crew of animal rights activists from Direct Action Everywhere broke into a Utah pig farm run by Smithfield Foods, one of the largest pork distributors in the world. They were there to capture video of what they say were thousands of mistreated and abused animals kept in tiny metal cages barely bigger than their bodies. As they were leaving, they took two sick piglets out with them. Prosecutors in Utah charged Wayne with burglary and theft. What came next was the court battle that he wanted all along. During his trial, Wayne made a truly bizarre argument that forced the jury, and all of us, to stare straight at our complicated, sometimes uncomfortable relationship with animals. This week on the show, we grapple with the impossible question at the center of it: What is the value of a piglet?  Special thanks to Kim Nederveen Pieterse, Nathan Peereboom, Jo Eidman, Sam Kozloff, Rachel Gross, Alex Allaux, and Joan Schaffner.  EPISODE CREDITS:  Reported by - Sindhu Gnanasambandan and Jae Minard Produced by - Sindhu Gnanasambandan with help from - Pat Walters with mixing help from - Jeremy Bloom Fact-checking by - Diane A.
