Podcasts about managing uncertainty

Title of podcast: SHW Uncertainty In this solo episode of the Superstar Communicator podcast, Susan Heaton-Wright explores the challenges posed by uncertainty in today's geopolitical and business environment. With over 12 years of podcasting experience, she delivers practical insights for leaders on how to communicate clearly, manage anxiety in teams, and maintain focus during turbulent times.   Key Points with Timestamps The Role of Communication in Uncertain Times Susan Heaton-Wright introduces the episode and emphasizes the importance of clear, purposeful communication for leaders, especially in the current "geopolitical nightmare" and fast-changing environment 00:00:01 – 00:01:42.   Managing Uncertainty and Anxiety She notes that leaders and managers must do their best to support others despite high levels of uncertainty—highlighting concerns around issues such as rising oil prices and the impact of AI on jobs 00:01:43 – 00:02:52.   Anxiety Transfer Effect The concept of "anxiety transfer effect" is introduced; uncertainty and anxiety spread quickly within teams through communication—both what is said and how it is expressed. She explains how simple reframing can foster calm and clarity 00:02:34 – 00:03:47.   Overwhelm and the Rule of Three Susan Heaton-Wright points out that in times of information overload, leaders should simplify priorities using the "rule of three" to ensure teams know what matters most 00:03:51 – 00:04:52.   Leadership Echo—Repetition Builds Trust She discusses the importance of consistently repeating key messages across different channels (meetings, emails, conversations), a method she calls the "leadership echo" 00:05:12 – 00:05:57.   Performance and Nonverbal Signals Susan Heaton-Wright emphasizes that how leaders deliver their messages—their tone, pace, and demeanor—impacts team perception and emotional response 00:06:06 – 00:07:05.   Takeaway Question for Leaders She encourages leaders to reflect on the message their teams need most right now and whether it is creating clarity or confusion, calmness or anxiety 00:07:05 – 00:07:28.   Final Advice Susan Heaton-Wright concludes that leaders don't need all the answers, but must communicate with clarity, consistency, and calmness 00:07:28 – 00:08:12.   This episode equips leaders with simple, actionable strategies to manage uncertainty, reduce anxiety, and inspire their teams through effective communication.   Download the transcript   Susan Heaton-Wright is an expert in communication, impact, and leadership influence, with over 12 years of podcasting experience.

Yan "Anthea" Zhang, the Fayez Sarofim Vanguard Chair of Strategic Management at Rice Business, has spent more than two decades researching the decisions that make or break organizations: CEO succession, corporate governance, and the gender dynamics shaping who rises to the top.On this special live episode, Zhang joins host Maya Pomroy '22 to share what her research reveals about the leap from functional roles to the C-suite, and why taking risks is non-negotiable for career advancement (especially for women). She also opens up about her origin story — from being part of the first-ever cohort at Nanjing University's business school to building a life and career in Houston — and why, after 25 years, Rice still feels like home.Plus: her latest research on AI-powered customer service, advice from her "Last Lecture" and how Rice Business Executive Education's Executive Leadership for Women program is giving women the tools and community to rise.Episode Guide:00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro03:19 Professor Zhang's Origin Story05:09 Hong Kong and USC07:46 Why Rice Feels Different12:32 CEO Succession Insights17:45 Executive Leadership for Women Program19:04 Challenges Women Still Face24:54 Teaching Global Strategy30:06 Managing Uncertainty & Frameworks For Risk36:25 How AI is Transforming Online Sales38:47 Advice to Students The Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:On creating a safe space for women to grow in the workplace19:58: For people who want to move up the career ladder, we need mentors. But a lot of times, people in more senior positions are still men, right? So, that's why both male and female mentors are all important. Because there are still so few women in senior leadership positions, right? That's why if you only rely on more senior female leaders to champion for you, to mentor you, that's not sufficient. You really need mentoring from both male and female leaders. So, I think that is why one benefit of our program is that we really target women who already have some leadership experiences. We create a safe space for them to share their concerns, challenges, and also allow them to share best practices with each other in a safe space. So, we really needed that.Why asking is important for women17:15: [Anthea Zhang] Dare to ask, dare to take risks, dare to get into areas, functions you are not comfortable with, you are not familiar with, which are those factors that are really key. And you have to show your track record instead of saying, "I want to," having a plan or having ambition is not sufficient. You have to show the track record.Higher leadership role means greater responsibility14:35: For people who already made it to top management team positions but still focus on more function-based roles, if you want to make it to the overall leadership role like a CEO, you have to take profit and loss responsibility. You have to expand the responsibility of your position. You know, of course, we see some people transition from CFO to CEO, but what is required for a CEO position is way more, it is way broader than, like, the CFO or chief marketing officer. Show Links: Executive Leadership for Women | Rice BusinessEnergy Transition Strategy | Rice BusinessExecutive Education | Rice BusinessTranscriptGuest Profile:Professor Yan "Anthea" Zhang | Rice BusinessLinkedIn Profile

Junaid Shaikh: Managing Uncertainty As A Scrum Master, How Scrum's Rhythm Creates Stability In Unstable Times For this week's coaching conversation, Junaid brings a challenge that resonates well beyond any single team: dealing with uncertainty. He references the World Uncertainty Index report from February 2026, which showed the highest levels of global uncertainty ever recorded — surpassing both the COVID pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This uncertainty doesn't stay at the geopolitical level. It seeps into teams. People show up stressed, unsure about what the next month or three months will bring. As Scrum Masters, we need to be cognizant of where our team members are coming from. Vasco adds an important layer: uncertainty operates at multiple levels within organizations. A colleague you depend on might be out sick for two weeks. A supplier might not deliver on time. Every dependency is a source of uncertainty. The question becomes: what in our processes is designed to accept and adapt to that uncertainty? Junaid's answer is powerful in its simplicity: Scrum's rhythm. The sprint, the planning, the daily, the retrospective — these events at a defined cadence create internal predictability. "When you have a rhythm, when you have a known sequence of events in front of you, that takes away a lot of uncertainty." Vasco builds on this: Scrum creates a boundary — the sprint — that accepts uncertainty outside while reducing it inside. Internal versus external predictability. Inside the sprint, the team can fail in small ways without exposing every failure to the outside. Compare that with traditional project planning, where every task on the critical path has external visibility and impact. For practical tools, Junaid shares how he used the Eisenhower matrix with a team to convert uncertainty into actionable priorities. They listed all activities from recent sprints, plotted them on the matrix, and found they could delegate or deprioritize 20-25% of their work. That freed them to focus with certainty on the remaining 75%. Combined with timeboxing as an uncertainty management mechanism, teams can create pockets of predictability even in turbulent times.

Having the ability to manage uncertainty is helpful in all professions, but perhaps especially so in medicine where uncertainty abounds and the stakes for managing it are high. Despite that, medical students receive little training in this area, something which our guest today, Dr. Jenny Moffett of RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences in Dublin, is working to change. “There are approaches to uncertainty that can be learned. We can change our perspective and perceptions around uncertainty, stepping away from always viewing it as something aversive, but perhaps maybe looking at it with a little bit more curiosity and openness, and that's definitely a transformation that faculty can make,” says Dr. Moffett, the program director of the Postgraduate Diploma in Health Professions Education. In addition to a perspective shift, Moffett also believes providers should develop skills to talk about uncertainty with patients in an open and honest way. “Clinicians can say, I'm on this journey with you. I don't have all of the answers, but we have paths, we have options, and I'll be there with you as we work them out.” Join host Caleb Furnas as he explores Dr. Moffett's fascinating work in this area which includes development of an immersive puzzle game that encourages students to address complex, ambiguous, and unpredictable issues.Mentioned in this episode:RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Summary In this episode, Dr Daniel Crosby returns to discuss his new book The Soul of Wealth and the concept of soulful wealth, particularly in the context of retirement. He emphasises that money should serve individuals rather than control them, and highlights the importance of relationships and personal growth in achieving happiness. Our conversation explores the PERMA model, which outlines five facets of flourishing: Positive experiences, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Advancement. Daniel stresses the need for intentionality in retirement planning, focusing on non-financial elements that contribute to a fulfilling life. He also discusses the limitations of money and the critical role of time management in enhancing well-being. Throughout our enlightening conversation, Daniel and I explore the intricate relationship between money, happiness, and retirement. We discuss the increasing screen time among retirees, the role of AI in daily life, and how spending money can align with personal values to enhance joy. Our discussion delves into the societal pressures of materialism, the fear of the unknown in retirement, and strategies for managing uncertainty. Ultimately, Daniel emphasises the importance of making conscious financial choices that reflect one's true values and the potential for positive surprises in the future. Key Takeaways Money should serve you, not control you. Strong relationships are key to happiness. Retirement planning should include non-financial elements. The PERMA model outlines five facets of flourishing. Engagement in meaningful activities is crucial in retirement. Loneliness can have severe health impacts. Intentionality in spending free time is essential. Advancement and personal growth should continue post-retirement. Expectations of retirement can lead to disappointment. Time management is a powerful tool for happiness. Retirees are increasingly spending time watching television due to newfound free time. AI should handle mundane tasks, allowing humans to focus on creativity. Spending money on experiences and relationships can lead to greater happiness. Aligning spending with personal values is crucial for fulfillment. Materialism is linked to lower well-being and should be avoided. Fear of the unknown can hinder retirement satisfaction. Controlling what you can in finances is essential for peace of mind. Expect market fluctuations as a normal part of investing. Positive uncertainty can lead to unexpected joys in life. Chronic stress is detrimental; managing expectations is key.  Sound Bites "Money is a servant and not a master." "Relationships are profoundly messy." "Retirement is often put on a pedestal." "Money can't buy us happiness outright." "Time is the ultimate purchase." "We spend our free time on screens." "I want AI to mow my lawn and do my laundry." "Align your spending with your core values." "The Joneses aren't as happy as they seem." "Expect market corrections; they are normal."

For each diagnosis, there is an expected path that the disease will take. But along that path are many offshoots of possibilities, known and unknown. Amid the uncertainty, how can providers manage expectations and continue to build trust with their patients? In this episode, Dr. John Mulder and Dr. Jason Beckrow discuss how they operate in the realm of uncertainty when patients and their loved ones are often looking for finite answers.

A daily commute to a job where you do the same thing every day. A workplace filled with coworkers who do the same. A long career in one industry. We've all heard this before. These are the old definitions of work, or at least the stories most of us were told about it. But this isn't really the way things work, is it?There are new rules of work. And a critical aspect that we all need to understand is that there will be another new set of rules tomorrow because we're in a constant state of transition — so understanding and preparing for what's next requires more than just learning a new set of definitions.Gary Bolles shares what we need to know about The Next Rules of Work — and the next ones after that.

Show Notes Author Jimmy Soni kicks off the conversation by explaining why the PayPal mafia is more noteworthy than other large startups. Soni explains that he wrote the book to document not only the business successes, but also the personal stories of the founders. He explains that the market has been good and that people can learn a lot of new things from the book. Soni reveals that his favorite thing about the book is learning about the inventiveness and innovation PayPal had. The Birth and Growth of the PayPal Mafia Jimmy  and Will discuss the phenomenon of the PayPal Mafia, the group of entrepreneurs who emerged from PayPal's success and went on to found some of the most successful companies in Silicon Valley. Soni explains that the PayPal Mafia is a unique phenomenon because the founders were relatively young when PayPal was successful, they had faith that businesses on the internet could be successful,  and they supported each other's ventures. PayPal alumni invested in and supported each other's companies, and they hired alumni as their first employees. This mutual support and collaboration was key to the success of the PayPal Mafia, and their success has been a major factor in the success of Silicon Valley. He shares how PayPal was able to succeed in the early 2000s due to their right timing and how important that was, the selection of very talented people, and the nurturing of their employees. They were able to take advantage of the increasing ubiquity of email addresses and the platform of eBay, which hadn't yet sorted out its payment infrastructure. They also managed to survive the .com burst and make a successful IPO. This was due to their selection of very smart and entrepreneurial people, and their experiences of putting a company together from scratch and having it be a success. He mentions how the book The PayPal Wars by Eric M. Jackson shows how messy real companies can be and how PayPal started out as two companies, Con Finiti and X.com, that merged and began toying around with the idea of beaming money from one palm pilot to another. Building a Startup Jimmy  reflects on his experience of studying the formation of PayPal and how it taught him about Silicon Valley strategy and the messiness of how companies actually grow. He emphasizes that building a company from scratch is much harder than most people think and that things that seem inevitable can often look ridiculous at the start. He demonstrates this by using the example of the Palm Pilot that was labeled one of the 10 worst business ideas of the 1990s but that company became PayPal. He emphasizes that researching the book has made him more aware of the difficulty of creating something and has taught him to not to dismiss ideas that seem silly or take for granted the companies that occupy our lives. The creation of PayPal was a “dogfight” that required a lot of hard work and effort. The biggest challenges in making it successful were to convince people to use the payment system and make sure that people were not taking advantage of it.  Jimmy talks about the uncertainty and anxiety that comes with being involved in a startup and the do or die moments that can arise and that there are often one or two decisions that are crucial to survival. He noted that CEOs usually only make six important decisions per year, so it's important to go into a startup with eyes wide open and know that these moments will arise and that the company could go under at any point. He also talked about how chaos can be beneficial for a startup, as it can bring about new ideas, but also can just be chaos. His insight from the story of PayPal is that a lot of what appeared to be chaos from the outside was actually a controlled chaos that was directed towards the right problems and issues.  The Elon Musk's Pressure Cooker Leadership Style Will and Jimmy discuss Elon Musk's recent acquisition of Twitter and his ability to lead a tech company. Jimmy explains that he and Musk never spoke about social networks, and that they only discussed payment networks. He noticed that Musk's management style and that Musk used the term ‘maniacal urgency' to describe it, and believes that Musk's intense approach is necessary for the success of a startup. Jimmy goes on to explain that this style of management has been consistent from Musk's first venture, Zip Two, to his current companies Tesla and SpaceX. Elon Musk's leadership style is one of prioritizing urgency and setting unreasonable demands for his employees. This was the case in his experience with PayPal, and is now being seen at Twitter. An engineer from X.Com shared that during this period, Elon worked longer hours than anyone else and that it was an energizing environment for engineers who wanted to build something quickly, get rapid feedback, and keep moving towards a big goal. This style is not for everyone and can be difficult to understand, but it has been successful for Musk in the past. Through his research, it became clear to Jimmy that startups need to be maniacally urgent and dedicated in order to succeed.  He discusses the market for books about companies, including his own book The Founders: The Story of PayPal and the Entrepreneurs Who Shaped Silicon Valley The book has done well, both domestically and abroad, and Jimmy  believes that people are drawn to the book because of the famous and controversial players involved. Feedback received from professionals  in the startup world have told him that the book captures the energy and feeling of what it is like to be in a startup. Soni shares that the market for books about companies is big and that the Silicon Valley halo has not diminished abroad; all of these factors have contributed to the popularity of the book. His book has international appeal and what differentiates his book from others in the same genre is the inclusion of personal stories.  Researching the Book  He talks about the importance of invention and how startups are allowed to look at a problem and create something new to solve it. He shares how many inventions were developed by PayPal.  When it came to gathering information, he struck gold when he was interviewing someone who offered him access to the company's early records. The person sent Jimmy several gigabytes worth of emails from the time. Jimmy was able to access emails sent and received by key players in the company, giving him a better understanding of the story he was researching. To capture the widest possible story, he started with any emails sent to the company and printed them all out. He then read through every page, looking for any interesting gems that could be included in the book. He found a motivating note from Elon Musk outlining the company's struggles and signed off with Work like hell, Elon. This note was unexpected and captured the character of Musk that is still seen today.  When writing his book, Jimmy explained that he took a methodical approach to email research, using folders, binders, and highlighting to identify key points. He used Google Drive to store PDFs of her citations for fact-checking. This email archive was instrumental in making the book more accurate, rather than relying on hazy memories.  Jimmy talks about the secret sauce of recruiting talent. He specifically mentions Peter Thiel's superpower. Jimmy believes that it is talent identification.

The behavior of business practitioners is often driven by the defunct theories of economists. But to some extent all theories and models come with limitations and both the financial crisis of 2008 and the recent pandemic have made those limitations hard to ignore.Sir John Kay is one of Britain's leading economists. He was the first dean of Oxford's Said Business School and has held chairs at the London School of Economics, the University of Oxford, and London Business School. His interests focus on the relationship between economics and business. His career has spanned the academy and think tanks, company directorships, consultancies, investment companies and media. For twenty years, he wrote a regular column for the Financial Times and has authored an astonishing number of books. He was awarded a knighthood in the Queen's 2021 Birthday Honours List for services to economics, business and finance.Greg and John discuss how to navigate a complex environment, which we can only imperfectly understand, why we should embrace uncertainty and how to create strategies that are resilient to unpredictable events.Episode Quotes:On why we're not going to get predictability in economics10:02: The world we're dealing with, in economics, business, and finance is not stationary. There are not underlying models in the way we talk about the motion of the planets, which has remained unchanged for several centuries. And not only has it remained unchanged for centuries, but actually we know what these equations are, and they're not affected by what we do or think about them; Venus does not care what we think about its equations of motion. But the people who work in organizations and financial markets do care what we think about. And that world is affected by our interaction with it.Why you shouldn't take models too seriously05:01: To understand economics, to understand social science, we absolutely need models. The mistake is to think that the models we're building are true descriptions of the world. And they're not. I think models and economics are best regarded as parables; they're stories.An observation on how people use models14:07: You can use models to say, "This is what might happen to an unchecked pandemic." You can use a model to say, "This is an indication of the effect we might have if we introduced lockdown measures or vaccinations of the like." You can use models to illustrate scenarios and tell stories. If you think you can use models to predict, then I think you are attempting a kind of pseudoscientific position that is simply not available.Show Links:Recommended Resources:George E. P.
