Drawing insights from their research on beekeeping, they explore how leaders can optimize their "hives" by fostering collaboration, self-awareness, and meaningful work. They emphasize that culture starts with leadership and requires humility, self-reflection, and a commitment to unlearning old habits. Key topics include the importance of self-awareness in leadership, replacing the golden rule with the platinum rule (treating others as they want to be treated), and making challenging decisions to maintain a healthy organizational environment. Michael and Katie also highlight the concept of "pollinating" an organization by prioritizing growth and learning at all levels and creating psychologically safe environments where individuals can thrive.

As Ruckus Makers, we have to continually turn the lens to be able to self reflect, to think about value creation.” -Katie Desiderio   “We can't let that serve as a blind spot for us to think about the impact on the collective whole. For all of us to be able to hit the pause button to say, ‘I probably could have done that better,' or ‘how could I rephrase that or how could I look at this from a different lens to try to do it different or to bring someone else that might be more effective than I am in this space.'”   -Katie Desiderio “If you don't have a philosophy that you can share how you're going to lead the good, the bad, and ugly and share it, then the environment that you're creating may not be one that's vulnerable and authentic, and people will just see you as kind of a hierarchical leader. And that's not what we're trying to encourage. We're trying to convert, encouraging buyers where everybody can lead from every seat. It's okay to bring your best self to work, come as you are, choose the lens you want, but let's all work at this together.” -Michael Frino   “When we think about being innovators and disruption and demonstrating a ruckus, you have to go through a process, and it has to be messy. It can't be so rigid. The best ideas come when the process is messy, and you have to allow yourself permission to do that. Some people are really uncomfortable in that space, but getting out of your comfort zone, whiteboarding, brainstorming, being messy, will bring to life brand new ideas, brand new concepts, and probably allow people who have really great ideas to speak up that may not otherwise be heard, be messy.” -Michael Frino   Get a copy of the episode transcript here!   Katie and Michael's Resources & Contact Info: Leadership Fables Linkedin:Michael ​​Linkedin:Katie Twitter / X-Katie Katie P Desiderio-Facebook Twitter/X-Michael Read my latest book!

While much attention is paid to the illegal invasion of Ukraine by Russia, it is important to note that Russia continues to try and exert influence across the world. This is particularly true across the Middle East, where Russia has tried to center itself as the reliable partner for autocratic leaders throughout the region. Russia has a long history of engagement with Middle Eastern Leaders, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it saw its influence wane, down to just a couple of countries. Over the past ten years, however, they have regained a foothold through the Syrian Civil war and have increased their engagement with other countries, especially in the wake of the Arab Spring. While Russia has many interests in the region, our speaker, Vice Admiral John W. Miller (ret.), proposes that the driving force of Russian interests are two fold; to create transactional relationships that benefit Russia, and to disrupt the U.S.' vision for the region. Join us for this episode to gain critical insights into why Russian engagement in the Middle East is an issue that all Americans should be aware of and why it is in the U.S.' national security interest to counter their growing influence. This episode will highlight the number of ways in which the U.S. and Russia approach this region and how many countries would prefer to partner with these large global actors.  Admiral John W. Miller serves as the President and CEO of The Fozzie Miller Group, LLC and as a Principal Partner of Global Alliance Advisors, LLC, both Washington DC based national security firms positioned at the intersection of government policy, defense acquisition programs, and industrial performance. The firm teams with US and international clients to deliver solutions that blend national security strategies and industrial growth into achievable national security objectives.Admiral Miller also serves as a Highly Qualified Expert and Senior Mentor to the U.S. Naval War College, providing advice and expertise to the U.S. Navy on a wide range of operational and educational subjects.His last three assignments in the Navy were as Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Central Command/Commander U.S. Fifth Fleet/Commander/ Combined Maritime Forces; Commander, Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center; and Commander, Carrier Strike Group Eleven.Admiral Miller also serves as a non-resident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and as an active member of the U.S. Naval Academy Foundation Board of Trustees.

In this episode, we investigate the rise of Alternative Funding Programs (AFPs) that bypass coverage for vital specialty drugs. Kyle Crowell, an expert consultant on AFPs, discusses how payers avoid their responsibility for costs by collaborating with third-party companies to exclude specific drug coverage and directing patients towards manufacturer-sponsored patient assistance programs (PAPs).
