What You'll Learn in This Episode:In this episode of the Lean Solutions Podcast, Patrick Adams and Shane Daughenbaugh explore what the first 90 days should look like after discovering Lean or stepping into a new organization. Once someone understands the principles of continuous improvement, what should they actually do first? They discuss how your approach must shift depending on your level of influence. Whether you're an executive, middle manager, or individual contributor, rushing into tools and events can create resistance instead of momentum.They advise spending time in direct reports' roles, having one-on-one conversations, and documenting feedback to identify common issues and improve processes. They also highlight the value of using emotions as flags and leveraging AI to analyze data for better decision-making. They agree on the importance of empathy and trust-building in leadership.Key TakeawaysYour Role Determines Your StrategyStart with Listening, Not ImplementingCulture Before ToolsPerspective Changes EverythingLinks: Lean Solutions 2026 SummitLean Solutions WebsiteClick Here For Shayne Daughenbaugh's LinkedInClick Here For Patrick Adams' LinkedIn
Dimes and Judas discuss the latest trans school shooter in British Columbia, the Bad Bunny Superbowl performance, and Trump's Venezuela immediately shipping oil to Israel. After exploring the new British Columbia separation movement, they side into a review of “Bandit Country: The IRA & South Armagh” by Toby Harnden. This is a history of the least controllable area during the War of Irish Independence against England, its ruler Tom “Slab” Murphy, and the internal schisms that lead to the downfall of the IRA. They also ask the question: what makes Ireland to unique, and can the IRA be replicated elsewhere?

Okay…let's get down to business (sort of). On today's podcast we are explaining the organizational structure at Spirit of Joy. It's how we do what we do. Pastor Eric lays out the framework of the church leadership and how it all starts at the top with every partner in our congregation.

Eric and Marnie discuss in detail what each team does and how everyone can get involved in the mission of Spirit of Joy.
In this episode, Humza Teherany breaks down how he bridges deep technical fluency with strategic leadership at MLSE, home to the Raptors, Maple Leafs, and more. He shares how a vacation turned into an AI reawakening and how that hands-on immersion led to a fundamental shift in how his organization builds and experiments.Humza walks through MLSE's build in a day practice, their internal AI platform, and why speed to prototype now unlocks more than just efficiency. It changes who gets to shape the future. He, Jeremy, and Henrik explore the limits of traditional enterprise AI rollouts and how to build spaces for superusers that enable company-wide transformation. The conversation covers how technical literacy impacts credibility, why idea execution is the new differentiator, and how Humza's five-year-old inspired a bedtime story app powered by AI.Whether you're a CTO, a founder, or just figuring out where to start, Humza makes a compelling case. The best leaders don't delegate this moment. They build.Key TakeawaysLeaders should not delegate the AI momentHumza, Henrik, and Jeremy agree that this is a moment for leaders to be hands-on. The ones who build and explore the tools themselves are the ones unlocking real impact.Technical fluency builds credibility and better decisionsHumza's return to his technical roots has changed how he leads. Understanding how AI works helps leaders earn trust and make smarter, faster choices.Speed enables inclusionMLSE's build in a day model allows more people to contribute ideas and see them turned into real prototypes. Moving fast isn't just efficient - it changes who gets to participate.Empower your superusers firstRather than starting with enterprise-wide training, Humza focuses on enabling the small group already eager to build. That early energy helps drive broader culture change.MLSE: mlse.comLinkedIn: Humza Teherany - LinkedIn00:00 Intro: Humza Teherany and MLSE00:27 The Role of C-Suite Leaders in AI01:08 Reconnecting with Technical Skills02:08 Diving Deep into AI Tools03:03 The Importance of Hands-On Learning04:25 Progression from Consumer to Technical AI Tools07:28 Building a Business Case for AI10:03 Creating a Culture of Innovation14:00 Implementing AI in Business Operations21:05 Challenges and Strategies in AI Adoption26:17 Organizational Structure for AI Success32:02 The Importance of Reviewing and Planning Code33:01 The Future of Solo Developers and New Technologists34:58 Reimagining Company Structures with AI38:55 Key Skills for Future Technology Leaders41:19 Personal AI Experiments and Innovations46:52 Encouraging Creativity in Children with AI49:11 The Debrief

There is a recurring piece of advice in the startup world that says you should never mix friendship with business. However, after 12 years of profitability and organic growth at MarsBased, reality has taught us that working with friends is not only possible but can be a competitive advantage if expectations are managed from day zero.In this episode of Building MarsBased, I open up the black box of our founding story to explain how Xavi, Jordi, and I went from being classmates to co-founders, and why we made the difficult decision to leave a fourth friend out just before signing the company incorporation. I take a deep dive into our atypical organizational structure where we decided not to have a single CEO, but rather divide leadership into three areas of absolute responsibility (Tech, Operations, and Marketing) while democratizing cross-functional decisions.Throughout the video, I detail how we resolve conflicts using asynchronous communication via Linear to remove ego from discussions, how we define our salaries based on the company's financial health (bootstrapping) rather than investment rounds, and what our philosophy is regarding equal equity splits. If you are considering starting something with your close circle, here you will find our real-world experience on how to align priorities, manage friction, and prevent silent resentment from killing both the company and the friendship.Support the show
Ole Miss football general manager Billy Glasscock followed Lane Kiffin to LSU. The Rebels have interest in a reunion with Austin Thomas, among others. However, for the time being, they've had to make it work with the people actually in the building, including a shift in focus for Matt McLaughlin. McLaughlin serves as Ole Miss senior associate athletics director for strategy and cap management. He and Walker Jones, who heads up the Grove Collective, have taken up temporary offices at the Manning Center to lead the roster-building efforts in lieu of an interim general manager. Ole Miss signed 17 2026 recruits on Wednesday, the first of the Early Signing Period. The Rebels have room to add, too — then comes the NCAA Transfer Portal in January.McLaughlin joined the Ole Miss Spirit's Ben Garrett for a ‘Talk of Champions' podcast to discuss. He also touched on current-roster retention and much, much more. ToC is powered by RiverLand Roofing. Call or text them today at 662-644-4297.

In this episode, Pascal sits down with Brian Brault, a leadership development expert who runs programs at MIT with the Entrepreneurs Organization, to explore how leadership has fundamentally evolved in our rapidly changing world. Brian shares insights on the shift from traditional “smartest person in the room” leadership to emotionally intelligent, authentic leadership that prioritizes building teams and genuinely caring for people. The conversation delves into the fascinating duality modern leaders face: being vulnerable and empathetic with human teams while maintaining strict control and boundaries when managing AI agents and systems. Brian emphasizes the critical difference between “being vulnerable” and “leading with vulnerability,” explaining how authentic leaders can acknowledge uncertainty while still providing direction and commitment. The discussion covers the future of organizational structures, the continuing importance of middle management despite Silicon Valley trends, and practical advice for leaders navigating the “messy middle” of technological disruption. Brian concludes with actionable guidance for emerging and established leaders looking to adapt their leadership style, including the power of mentorship and leveraging personal strengths rather than focusing on weaknesses.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction and Leadership Evolution01:10 The Shift from IQ to EQ in Leadership04:00 Trust, Authenticity, and Stakeholder Balance05:50 The AI Leadership Paradox: Humans vs Machines09:17 Data Accuracy and Decision-Making in the AI Era11:35 Outdated vs Essential Leadership Skills12:22 Brian's Story: Learning to Lead Without All the Answers16:17 Creating Organizations of Leaders, Not Followers17:44 Leading Into the Unknown and Career Transitions21:48 Building Empowered Teams and Strategic Clarity22:15 The Future of Organizational Structure and Middle Management26:24 Defining Vulnerable vs Leading with Vulnerability28:57 Practical Advice for Adapting Leadership Style33:40 Where to Find Brian and Legacy of Significance↗ Brian's company: Legacy of Significance↗ Connect with Brian on LinkedIn

BONUS: From Waterfall to Flow—Rethinking Mental Models in Software Delivery With Henrik Mårtensson In this BONUS episode, we explore the origins and persistence of waterfall methodology in software development with management consultant Henrik Mårtensson. Based on an article where he details the history of Waterfall, Henrik explains the historical context of waterfall, challenges the mental models that keep it alive in modern organizations, and offers insights into how systems thinking can transform our approach to software delivery. This conversation is essential for anyone looking to understand why outdated methodologies persist and how to move toward more effective approaches to software development. The True Origins of Waterfall "Waterfall came from the SAGE project, the first large software project in history, where they came up with a methodology based on an economic analysis." Henrik takes us on a fascinating historical journey to uncover the true origins of waterfall methodology. Contrary to popular belief, the waterfall approach wasn't invented by Winston Royce but emerged from the SAGE project in the 1950s. Bennington published the original paper outlining this approach, while it was Bell and Tayer who later named it "waterfall" when referencing Royce's work. Henrik explains how gated process models eventually led to the formalized waterfall methodology and points out that an entire generation of methods existed between waterfall and modern Agile approaches that are often overlooked in the conversation. In this segment we refer to: The paper titled “Production of Large Computer Programs” by Herbert D. Benington (direct PDF link) Updated and re-published in 1983 in Annals of the History of Computing ( Volume: 5, Issue: 4, Oct.-Dec. 1983) Winston Royce's paper from 1970 that erroneously is given the source of the waterfall term. Direct PDF Link. Bell and Thayer's paper “Software Requirements: Are They Really A Problem?”, that finally “baptized” the waterfall process. Direct PDF link. Mental Models That Keep Us Stuck "Fredrik Taylor's model of work missed the concept of a system, leading us to equate busyness with productivity." The persistence of waterfall thinking stems from outdated mental models about work and productivity. Henrik highlights how Frederick Taylor's scientific management principles continue to influence software development despite missing the crucial concept of systems thinking. This leads organizations to equate busyness with productivity, as illustrated by Henrik's anecdote about 50 projects assigned to just 70 people. We explore how project management practices often enforce waterfall thinking, and why organizations tend to follow what others do rather than questioning established practices. Henrik emphasizes several critical concepts that are often overlooked: Systems thinking Deming's principles Understanding variation and statistics Psychology of work Epistemology (how we know what we know) In this segment, we refer to: Frederik Taylor's book “The Principles of Scientific Management” The video explaining why Project Management leads to Coordination Chaos James C. Scott's book, “Seeing Like a State” Queueing theory Little's Law The Estimation Trap "The system architecture was overcomplicated, and the organizational structure followed it, creating a three-minute door unlock that required major architectural changes." Henrik shares a compelling story about a seemingly simple feature—unlocking a door—that was estimated to take three minutes but actually required significant architectural changes due to Conway's Law. This illustrates how organizational structures often mirror system architecture, creating unnecessary complexity that impacts delivery timelines. The anecdote serves as a powerful reminder of how estimation in software development is frequently disconnected from reality when we don't account for systemic constraints and architectural dependencies. In this segment, we refer to Conway's Law, the observation that explicitly called out how system architecture is so often linked to organizational structures. Moving Beyond Waterfall "Understanding queueing theory and Little's Law gives us the tools to rethink flow in software delivery." To move beyond waterfall thinking, Henrik recommends several resources and concepts that can help transform our approach to software development. By understanding queueing theory and Little's Law, teams can better manage workflow and improve delivery predictability. Henrik's article on coordination chaos highlights the importance of addressing organizational complexity, while James C. Scott's book "Seeing Like a State" provides insights into how central planning often fails in complex environments.

Could well-intentioned KPIs actually be driving counterproductive behavior across your digital and physical channels?Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as they talk with Kacey Sharrett, a digital retail expert with over 30 years of experience at major brands like GoPro, Barnes & Nobles, and Toys R Us. Kacey brings sharp, behind-the-scenes insights into the realities of omnichannel retail — including a wild story about store associates buying products from competitors just to hit fill-rate KPIs. She unpacks why siloed P&Ls often create more friction than clarity, and how great leadership—not just org charts—sets the tone for truly customer-first strategy.As the conversation shifts to DTC and the future of eCommerce, Kacey offers a candid look at the rise of AI agents and what it means when customers stop visiting websites altogether. Her take? Your website is still your most visited “store”—and digital leaders should treat it that way, layering in exclusives, personalization, and reasons to stay.Three key learnings from this episode:Metrics drive behavior — Be thoughtful about the KPIs you set for your teams, as they'll find ways to meet them even if it means counterproductive actions like buying products from competitors to fulfill online orders.Break down channel conflicts — Instead of fighting over resources, inventory, and pricing between channels, align all teams around converting customers wherever they are, making the entire organization more customer-centric.Test with purpose — Implement robust AB testing programs to gather data-driven insights about what works, allowing you to optimize experiences and take calculated risks that other channels can't match.Want more tips and strategies to create frictionless user experiences?

We're talking about the different facets to consider when structuring your organization. We covered the first facet - Function - which should be considered on the spectrum of autonomy and control. An organization needs functions who have autonomy to build, and functions who protect what is built by maintaining control. And we covered the second facet - Context - which should be considered on the spectrum of today and the future, specifically today, tomorrow, and the future. An organization must meet the needs of today, while preparing for tomorrow, and keeping the future in perspective. We have 4 more facets to consider.

There are many different functions that a business organization needs. But all of the business functions fall on a spectrum of autonomy and control. And this is what the first facet of an organization structure is. You need to consider the functions on the spectrum of autonomy and control. A business operates in the world of today, with tomorrow in mind, and with the intention of beyond tomorrow into the future. At times, the demands of each context are in competition with each other. Giving way to one could compromise the success of the other. And when Today, Tomorrow and the Future are pitted against each other, the demands of Today are typically always victorious. The urgent always takes precedence.

In this episode of Develop This, Dennis Fraise speaks with Doug Van Dyke, CEO of Leadership Simplified, about the intricacies of economic development organizations (EDCs). They discuss the role of EDCs, the pros and cons of regionalization, the challenges of collaboration, and the relationship between EDCs and chambers of commerce. Doug shares insights on strategic planning, executive coaching, and the importance of having a neutral party in discussions about regionalism. The conversation highlights the need for collaboration and the potential benefits of working together to enhance economic development efforts. Takeaways EDCs often require strategic planning, executive coaching, and team development. Regionalization can enhance collaboration but may also lead to competition among EDCs. Silos and ego can hinder effective regional collaboration. A neutral party can facilitate discussions and help align goals. Mission creep can occur when EDCs and chambers of commerce have differing focuses. Successful regional collaboration can lead to greater economic opportunities. EDCs should consider regionalization when scale can be advantageous. The relationship between EDCs and chambers of commerce can vary based on community needs. Effective communication and collaboration are essential for EDC's success. Leadership Simplified offers training and strategic planning services for EDCs.
Substack Week: Why Product Management is Broken and How to Fix It With Anton Zaides In this SPECIAL Substack Week episode, we dive deep into the current state of product management with Anton Zaides, a seasoned software engineer and leader. Anton shares his perspectives on why product management is fundamentally broken and offers practical solutions for organizations looking to improve their product development processes. The Journey to Engineering Leadership "I started to search for content from other engineering managers and focused on practical insights." Anton's journey spans 15 years in software engineering, from game development to DevOps and scaling startups. His transition to leadership revealed a gap in practical leadership content, which inspired him to start sharing his own experiences. Drawing from his four years as an engineering leader in a startup, Anton noticed patterns in product management that needed addressing, leading to his viral article on the topic. The Broken State of Product Management "My team was working on a feature, that got canceled the day after it was released." Product management faces several critical challenges in today's technology landscape. Anton identifies key issues including the development of unused features, increasing software complexity, and misaligned incentives that discourage innovation. Through his conversations with industry professionals, he discovered these problems were widespread, with teams frequently building features that get canceled or go unused. Despite following Agile methodologies, many organizations fail to properly evaluate feature impact, leading to wasted resources and frustrated teams. Product Managers vs. Program Managers "The PM spent only 5% of his time on talking to customers." One of the core issues Anton identifies is the transformation of product managers into glorified program managers. In many organizations, product managers spend most of their time managing JIRA tickets and dependencies rather than engaging with customers and driving innovation. The pressure to deliver on predetermined roadmaps, often dictated by executive teams, leaves little room for challenging assumptions or testing ideas with minimal scope. This shift away from customer interaction and strategic thinking has reduced the product manager's role to primarily managing internal processes. Fostering Better Product Management "PM's should be like a founder for the product business." To improve product management, Anton advocates for several key changes: Offloading program management responsibilities to the team Trusting product managers to make strategic decisions Requiring specific industry knowledge and experience Encouraging face-to-face customer interactions Moving product managers closer to commercial roles Involving engineers in customer conversations Organizational Structure and Communication "The more links you have in the communication chain, the worse the information gets communicated." Anton proposes a shift towards a more functional organizational structure where Product and Engineering work together more closely. He emphasizes the importance of direct communication between technical teams and customers, warning against over-reliance on data alone. The solution involves bringing everyone closer to the business side and creating stronger networks between organizations and engineers. Practical Implementation Tips "Get engineers to visit customers." Key recommendations for improving product management include: Involving engineers in customer and sales conversations Giving engineers visibility through release messaging and communications Establishing strong collaboration between engineering leaders and product managers Ensuring product managers have deep domain expertise Creating opportunities for direct customer interaction Treating product managers as business owners rather than project managers Recommended Resources for Further Study Anton's Article that we review in this interview: “Product Management is broken, a change is coming” John Cutle's article on Product Manager's Responsibilities Anton's Article on how to work effectively with your Product Managers A book recommendation: Empowered by Marty Cagan An episode of Lenny's podcast with Brian Chesky [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

This is Zack Fuss. Today we are breaking down Merck, one of the world's largest and oldest pharmaceutical companies. The company has been shaping medicine and fostering innovation for over 130 years. From its humble beginnings as a small family pharmacy in Germany, today's iteration of Merck has transformed into a nearly $300 billion market cap business with particular strength in oncology. At the heart of Merck's recent success is Keytruda, arguably the world's most important cancer drug. This single medication now generates over $25 billion in annual revenue. But, Merck's story is not only about Keytruda, it's about a company that's consistently pursued innovative science, combined with a handful of bold decisions, which resulted in the development of some of the world's first vaccines and breakthroughs in diabetes treatment. To break down Merck, I am joined by Ashwin Varma, who is currently a medical student at UT Health San Antonio. We unpack Merck's business model, explore its industry-leading oncology franchise, and examine its pipeline of future drugs, and understand how they have navigated the complex world of pharmaceutical patents and regulation.
