Podcasts about mastering leadership

Join us for What Stayed, a live Season Two gathering.March 31 · Virtual · Free · Limited spots · konu.org/eventsThere are many leadership assessments in the world. Most measure competencies — skills, behaviors, strengths, and gaps. The Leadership Circle begins from a different starting point. It integrates leadership theory, systems thinking, and adult development into a single model that connects behavior to the structure of mind beneath it.In this episode, Michael Koehler and his colleague Judit Teichert sit down with Bill Adams and Bob Anderson — co-founders of The Leadership Circle, long-time pioneers in leadership development, and authors of Scaling Leadership and Mastering Leadership.This conversation is less an explanation of a model and more a reflection on its evolution. Bill and Bob revisit the foundational distinction between reactive and creative leadership, share personal moments of reckoning with their own patterns, and explore what happens when even creative leadership begins to feel insufficient for the scale of today's adaptive challenges.If reactive leadership is driven by managed anxiety, and creative leadership introduces vision and choice, what comes next?Bill and Bob suggest that the next stage may require something more relational than individual brilliance — a shift toward collective intelligence, deeper self-awareness, and leadership informed not by separateness, but by unity.What You'll Explore in This EpisodeReactive to CreativeHow strengths, when run reactively, become liabilities. Why development begins when we can see our patterns rather than be run by them. And why reactive leadership is less a comfort zone and more managed anxiety.When Growth Hits a CeilingA powerful story of a CEO who unknowingly capped his organization's growth — and what changed when he realized he was up against himself.Adaptive challenges cannot be solved from within the very structure that created them.Scaling LeadershipDrawing on over a million survey comments, Bill and Bob describe the central shift in effective leadership: from leading through individual capability to developing people and building collective capacity.Leadership scales when development becomes shared work.The Next StageBob describes what he calls integral leadership — leadership grounded in the presumption, if not the direct realization, of the inherent unity of all things.If our current paradigm is built on separateness, what might leadership look like if it were grounded in unity instead?This episode does not offer easy answers. It invites deeper questions:How do we lead in the unknown?How do we slow down when urgency tempts us to push harder?What if the future emerges not from force — but from listening?Quotes from This Episode“Strengths run reactively have liabilities.”— Bob Anderson“Reactive leadership isn't a comfort zone. It's managed anxiety.”— Bob Anderson“I am my own project for life. And it's a big project.”— Bill Adams“If we want things to change, I have to do most of the changing.”— Bill Adams“Are we going to clean this up neatly? The deep recesses of racism that have been in our lineage for millennia? Patriarchy, violence, war, exploitation? We're going to clean that up neatly? No. It's going to be a mess.”— Bob Anderson“Integral...

Congrats, You’re Promoted—Now What? The champagne has been poured, the desk is clean, and the new title looks incredible on your email signature. But then Monday morning hits, and the terrifying reality sets in: the skills that got you the job are not the skills that will help you keep it. In an instant, you've been promoted from being “one of the team” to the one responsible for the team's success, their failures, and their future. This week on A New Direction, we're cutting through the corporate fluff to talk about the messy, emotional, and high-stakes transition of the “new leader.” We are joined by the legendary Noel Massie, author of the essential guide Congrats! You've Been Promoted! Noel knows that a promotion is a double-edged sword; it's a reward for your past, but it's a relentless demand on your future. He brings a raw, authentic look at the “promotion trap”—the moment where many high-achievers fail because they try to manage people the same way they managed tasks. This isn’t just a business interview; it's a survival guide for your career's most pivotal moment. The shift from “me” to “we” is the hardest psychological hurdle any professional will ever face. Noel breaks down the internal architecture of a leader, showing you how to navigate the loneliness of the top floor and the pressure of being the person with all the answers (even when you're still figuring them out). We dive into why your technical expertise is now your biggest liability and why your “soft skills” are now your only hard currency. If you've ever felt like an imposter in your own office or worried that your promotion might be the ceiling of your potential, this episode is your wake-up call. Coach Jay and Noel Massie are handing you the keys to the executive suite—not just to get you through the door, but to ensure you own the room. Stop playing small in your big new role; it's time to stop managing and start leading. Noel Massie’s book, “Congrats! You’ve Been Promoted: An Essential Guide for Helping New Leaders and Their Teams Succeed” is one of the most practical, insightful, leadership books that is filled with wisdom for leaders you will use right now! Noel, takes his decades of experience and the lessons he learned and applied along his journey in UPS.  This is not your ordinary leadership book.  It is not theory; it is practical guidance in how to handle real world situations with your employees. The fact is, when we get promoted to any leadership position it is easy for us to have our ego get in the way.  Noel takes us through understanding that while you may be a leader you carry the responsibility for all your employees.  Every behavior, on or off the clock matters.  You are being evaluated by your employees by every action and every word. And the only person that is responsible for how you act and talk is you! While many books are written for the CEO this is written to anyone who has just been promoted to a leadership position. If you want to truly lead people who want to follow you, support you, and be champions for you, Congrats! You’ve Been Promoted is an absolute must read! Get Your Copy by clicking here!

Leadership isn't about being liked. It's about making hard decisions, living with the consequences, and still winning. Mike Beckham, Matt Bertulli, and Jason Panzer sit down to talk honestly about what leadership really costs when the stakes are high. They dig into hiring and firing decisions, culture trade-offs, growth versus profitability, and the personal pressure that comes with running large, successful businesses. The conversation avoids motivational clichés and focuses on what actually works when real money and people are involved.  The episode moves beyond strong opinions into the results behind them, including margins, growth trade-offs, enterprise value, and scale. They explore why most people shouldn't lead, how insecurity quietly damages businesses, and why saying no is often a leader's most important job. Along the way, they challenge common leadership advice and ask uncomfortable questions about who leadership is really for. Powered ByFulfilhttps://bit.ly/3pAp2vuNorthbeamhttps://www.northbeam.io/Saras Analyticshttps://bit.ly/9OP-YtdescPostscripthttps://9ops.co/postscriptAftersellhttps://9ops.co/4i3bb5Richpanelhttps://9ops.co/richpanelOperators Newsletterhttps://9operators.com/

In this episode, Danny Raines, CUSP, joins the show to discuss the critical transition from being a crew member to a leader in the utility industry. Drawing from his extensive career—from journeyman lineman to safety consultant—Danny explores the challenges of supervision, such as navigating generational differences and the importance of communication skills. The conversation delves into the "glass house" effect, highlighting how a leader's actions on and off the job, including on social media, influence safety culture. Danny also breaks down different leadership styles, advocating for servant leadership as the most effective approach for modern crews.   Buy Danny's Book - https://www.amazon.com/Legends-Ole-Lineman-learning-Journeyman-ebook/dp/B0FXN6G7V8/ref   Key Takeaways: The Difficulty of Transition: Moving from a "doer" to a leader is a long road because it is often easier to do the job yourself than to get others to do it according to expectations. The "Glass House" Effect: Leaders must realize they are always being watched by their crew and peers. This extends to social media, where liking or interacting with unsafe content can undermine a leader's credibility and influence new apprentices negatively. Servant Leadership: The most successful leadership style is "servant leadership," defined by Danny as never asking a crew member to do something the leader hasn't done or isn't willing to help with. Admitting Knowledge Gaps: Leaders should never "blow smoke" or pretend to know everything. If a leader doesn't know the answer, they should admit it, pause the work, and find the correct information to maintain trust. Generational Awareness: Effective leadership requires understanding generational differences (e.g., Baby Boomers vs. Millennials) and adapting communication styles to different personality profiles. Succession Planning: A vital first step for any new supervisor is to identify and mentor the person who will eventually replace them.     Questions & Answers 1. What inspired Danny Raines to write his recent article on leadership? Danny was inspired by reflecting on his own career progression from a crew member to various leadership roles, as well as a book written by his pastor titled Yes, I Can, which resonated with his experiences of rising to new challenges.     2. How does Danny define the "Glass House" concept in leadership? The "Glass House" means that a leader is constantly under observation. Everything they do, whether on the job site or on social media, is seen by others, and mistakes or endorsements of unsafe behavior (even online) can negatively influence the workforce.     3. What are the four main leadership styles discussed in the podcast? Danny identifies four primary styles: Autocratic (authority-based), Democratic (voting/consensus-based), Bureaucratic (rule-governed), and Servant Leadership (leading by example and support).     4. Why is "Servant Leadership" preferred over the "Autocratic" style in today's workforce? While autocratic leadership ("my way or the highway") was common in the past, it creates friction, especially with younger generations. Servant leadership fosters better buy-in because the leader reasons with the crew, explains the "why," and proves they are willing to do the work themselves.   5. What should a leader do if they encounter a situation they don't understand? They should immediately stop and admit they aren't sure, rather than acting like they know. Danny advises saying, "I'm not real sure about this, but let me check and I'll get right back with you," to avoid breaking trust or causing safety issues.   6. What is Danny's "one piece of advice" for new leaders? His advice is "Don't rush it." Leadership takes time and experience to build. He urges new leaders to be humble, learn as they go, and seek advice rather than expecting to know everything immediately.     #UtilitySafety #LeadershipDevelopment #LinemanLife #ServantLeadership #SafetyCulture #CUSP   Subscribe to Incident Prevention Magazine - https://incident-prevention.com/subscribe-now/ Register for the iP Utility Safety Conference & Expo - https://utilitysafetyconference.com/ ________________________________ This podcast is sponsored by T&D Powerskills.

Why do smart, capable leaders still feel unheard? Why do ideas lose power the moment pressure rises?In this episode, we explore the hidden communication gap that keeps leaders from inspiring action—no matter how experienced or knowledgeable they are. We dive into why presence, clarity, and strategic intent matter more than perfect words.Our guest, Ash Seddeek, is a leadership and executive communication coach who helps leaders speak with confidence and impact. Born and raised in Alexandria, Egypt, Ash came to the U.S. as a Fulbright Scholar, studied linguistics, and built a corporate career at companies like Oracle and Cisco.Today, Ash coaches executives, develops AI-powered communication tools, and helps leaders influence and connect authentically in high-stakes moments. This conversation will challenge how you think about leadership, confidence, and what it really takes to be heard.Quotes:"Presence is about intentionally listening and giving your audience your full attention, so they feel heard, valued, and connected to your message.""The best ideas don't happen when you're grinding through the day; they emerge when you give yourself space to step back, reflect, and think deeply.""Stories are an amazing vehicle for pulling people in—when you share your challenges and triumphs, you give others permission to do the same."Actionable Takeaways:Audit your presence, not just your wordsBefore your next important conversation or meeting, focus on how you show up. Are you truly listening, or just waiting to speak? Practice paraphrasing what others say to confirm understanding and build trust.Clarify your strategic intent before you communicateAsk yourself: What do I want the listener to think, feel, or do after this conversation? Write this down before emails, presentations, or difficult discussions to ensure your message has purpose.Use story to earn attention, not demand itReplace data-first communication with a short personal story, metaphor, or real example. Stories reduce resistance and help people lean in—especially in high-stakes or emotionally charged moments.Conclusion:Great leadership isn't about having the right title or saying the perfect words—it's about showing up with presence, intention, and authenticity. This conversation with Ash Seddeek reminds us that communication is not a performance, but a service. When leaders learn to listen deeply, clarify their intent, and speak in ways that truly connect, influence follows naturally.Whether you're leading a team, a family, or your own personal growth, the challenge is the same: stop trying to impress and start trying to connect. When you do, your message doesn't just get heard—it moves people to action.

Leading with Flexibility in Uncertain Times with Kevin EikenberryIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Kevin Eikenberry, Chief Potential Officer of The Kevin Eikenberry Group and author of Flexible Leadership: Navigate Uncertainty and Lead with Confidence. Kevin shares timely insights on how today's leaders can thrive amid volatility by staying grounded in their values while adapting their strategies. From navigating change to investing in leadership development, this episode offers a practical roadmap for leaders who want to lead with confidence and clarity—even when the future is unclear.How to Lead with Confidence in a Volatile WorldKevin emphasizes that modern leadership isn't about always having the answers—it's about being agile, values-driven, and committed to continuous learning. Drawing on decades of coaching leaders, he shares how embracing flexibility doesn't mean abandoning structure. Instead, it means having deep roots (your values) and being able to bend (your strategy) when the winds of change blow. Leaders must separate their identity from their roles and build adaptive thinking into their teams. He also introduces the metaphor of a tree: stable at the roots, flexible in the branches—a model that resilient leaders should follow.Through candid conversation, Kevin and Josh explore how uncertainty can actually be a catalyst for growth. Leaders who acknowledge unpredictability, model transparency, and focus on what they can control are more likely to build trust and drive results. Kevin also warns against falling into the “leadership trap”—confusing your job title with your personal identity. Real leadership, he explains, comes from consistent values-based action, not positional authority.Finally, Kevin shares actionable strategies for building leadership capacity. He encourages leaders to invest in training, conduct value clarification exercises, and remain open to feedback. With tools like his free masterclass and The Remarkable Leadership Podcast, Kevin equips leaders to become more effective in both mindset and behavior. His ultimate message: Great leadership is less about control and more about creating clarity and consistency in how you show up for your team—even when everything around you is changing.About Kevin EikenberryKevin Eikenberry is the Chief Potential Officer of The Kevin Eikenberry Group and a globally recognized leadership expert, speaker, and author.

Push or pause? Leadership isn't just about charging ahead. It's about knowing when to pause, reflect, and trust the unfolding. This episode is raw, honest, and straight from my heart as I unpack what it means to not always be in control. I've always been someone who makes things happen: driven, ambitious, fast-moving. And while that energy has built success, it's also created stress, missteps, and blind spots. Lately, I've been learning that some of the most powerful leadership moves are made in the stillness, in the waiting, in the discernment. You'll hear real stories, like navigating COVID with urgency and clarity and launching a product before it was truly ready. I also share how letting people ease into our unique company culture, not rushing them, has unlocked unexpected transformation. This episode isn't about choosing one style over another, it's about learning how to feel the difference between when to act and when to allow. And it's about finding your own rhythm as a leader—one that leaves space for both fire and flow. Key Takeaways: 1. Know Yourself Deeply: Identify your go-to leadership mode—action or flow—and why it serves you (or doesn't). 2. Reflect Before You React: Slow down enough to sense what the situation really calls for. 3. Trust the Process: Let go of the illusion of control. Some things bloom on their own timeline. Mic Drop Moment: "Great leadership isn't defined by constant movement. It's knowing precisely when to take bold action and when to gracefully let go." This one's for the high achievers, the fixers, the visionaries. Hit play if you're ready to lead with more trust, wisdom, and power.

Andrew is an executive coach who helps startup founders and small business owners build leadership capacity, navigate high-pressure growth, and scale their ventures effectively. With a background in entrepreneurship and a passion for personal development, Andrew brings practical insights to leaders striving to grow not only their companies—but themselves.Building Founders Who Can Build CompaniesAndrew works with two key audiences: high-growth startup founders (particularly in tech and medtech), and small business owners navigating more stable, bootstrapped environments. For tech founders, challenges often revolve around investor pressure, scaling quickly, and transitioning from doing everything themselves to leading others. These leaders must rapidly establish culture, process, and structure in what Andrew calls a “pressure cooker” environment.Small business owners face a different set of obstacles. Without investor capital, they're often bootstrapping their operations and must maintain long-term stability while building sustainable growth. Andrew supports both types of founders with customized coaching that helps them sharpen leadership skills, foster emotional resilience, and drive strategic clarity—even amid chaos.He also discusses how systemic disruption—especially through AI—is reshaping how companies build, operate, and scale.

In this episode, host Mike Simmons dives into the complexities of leadership—how to lead up to difficult leaders, work effectively across teams, and lead teams with clarity and purpose. Mike shares personal experiences, leadership philosophies, and actionable strategies to help listeners navigate leadership challenges at all levels. Key Quotes: "Leadership starts with self. If you're looking for leadership, start with a mirror." "If you think different, you can do different. If you do different, you can be different." "Sometimes, the hardest part of leadership is managing the assumptions we make about others." Episode Summary (50 Words): Leadership isn't just about managing others—it's about self-awareness, clear communication, and building trust. In this episode, Mike Simmons explores how to lead up to difficult leaders, collaborate across teams, and inspire those we manage. He shares tools and insights to navigate leadership challenges with confidence, clarity, and a service-oriented mindset. 5 Key Takeaways: 1. Leading Up to Leadership Challenges Understand your leader's background, concerns, and goals before making assumptions. Improve communication by aligning with their priorities and preferred methods. If a leader is ineffective, decide if you can help—or if it's time to move on. 2. Building Strong Cross-Team Relationships Empathy is key: understand what other teams care about and what challenges they face. Transparent communication fosters collaboration, even in competitive environments. Align team efforts with business goals to create a unified direction. 3. Leading Your Team with Clarity Get to know your team's goals, communication styles, and career aspirations. Provide opportunities for cross-functional learning to build leadership skills. Lead with transparency, trust, and a willingness to adapt. 4. The Importance of Effective Communication Leadership is built on clear, purposeful communication. Miscommunication happens—what's said, what's heard, and what's remembered are rarely the same. Tools like structured feedback loops and regular check-ins prevent misunderstandings. 5. Leadership as an Act of Service Leadership isn't about control—it's about enabling others to succeed. Sometimes, leaders struggle due to insecurity; build trust to help them delegate. If leadership doesn't align with your values, it's okay to step away. Final Thoughts: Leadership is a journey of continuous growth. Whether leading up, across, or down, it starts with self-awareness and service. This episode provides practical insights to help you lead with confidence, no matter your position. Learn. Think. and Act. with us every Sunday. Our weekly email helps leaders accelerate their impact at work, in life, and within their families.
