Podcasts about proactive leadership

Have you ever asked yourself: "I bring home the check, I do chores... why is my wife still overwhelmed and distant?" "What is this 'mental load' she talks about, and why don't I see it?" "How can I truly partner with her, instead of just 'helping'?" If you've ever caught yourself thinking, "But I am helping!" or "She's upset but I have no idea why," this episode will give you the X-ray vision you've been missing. Because what's wearing her out isn't always what's on your radar—it's the things you never even thought about. Here's the truth most men miss: providing financially is one form of leadership—but emotional labor is the currency she's drowning in. And if you don't see it, you're likely part of the reason she feels alone in the mission. This episode is your wake-up call. Become the best husband you can: https://bit.ly/deamarriageyoutube In this vital conversation, we dig into: Invisible Labor vs. Physical Effort: Understand the critical difference. Physical labor is what you see (dishes, yardwork, laundry). Invisible labor is the mental burden she carries: managing the family calendar, remembering RSVPs, planning meals, tracking groceries, anticipating everyone's emotional needs. She's exhausted that she had to remember it in the first place, not just that you didn't do the thing. Why Your Wife Feels Like She's Doing It All (Even When You're Helping): Most men step in reactively, not proactively. When you wait to be told what to do, you're reinforcing her role as the default parent, default planner, default everything. If you've heard or sensed, "I feel like the only adult in this house," this is the root cause. How to Show Leadership at Home (Without Being Controlling): You're not a passive assistant; you're a co-leader. Leadership means taking initiative with empathy. Learn proactive phrases like, "What's something I can fully own without being asked?" or "I'll handle the kids' end-of-year school stuff." The 2-Minute Audit: How to Find What She Resents Without Asking Her Directly: Every week, take two minutes to ask yourself five key questions: What has she had to ask me more than once? What mental task have I seen her doing that I've never offered to take on? If I got sick for a week, what would stop? If she got sick for a week, what would collapse? What do I expect her to “just handle” because I'm used to it? Your attention to what she's carrying is the answer—and the invitation to step up. This episode will challenge you to redefine "helping" and step into true co-leadership at home. Here's what research and observation highlight about emotional labor in relationships: Studies show that women typically take on 60-80% of the invisible labor in households, leading to higher rates of burnout. Marriages where the emotional load is perceived as unequally distributed have a 45% higher risk of marital dissatisfaction. Couples who actively practice shared responsibility for planning and mental tasks report a 30% increase in relationship satisfaction and feelings of partnership.   www.thedadedge.com/friday212 www.thedadedge.com/mastermind

The best leaders don't wait for problems to arise - they anticipate them before they happen. But how do you shift from a reactive leadership style to a proactive one? AI might just be the key. In this episode, host Courtney Baker is joined by Knownwell CEO David DeWolf, and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao. Together, they explore how AI enables leaders to foresee challenges, manage risks, and reclaim time for strategic decision-making. From AI-driven notifications that predict client or employee concerns to tools that help leaders focus on what truly matters, they uncover how AI is reshaping leadership itself. Special guest Jess Hall, Chief Growth Officer at OpsCanvas and member of Knownwell's AI Advisory Board, sits down with NordLight CEO Pete Buer to tackle one of the biggest hurdles in AI adoption: trust. Drawing from her experience in product strategy and AI ethics, Jess shares a powerful framework for building trust in AI systems, explains why AI skepticism mirrors the early days of automated elevators, and offers practical steps for businesses to create AI-powered products that people feel safe using.

When David Eckstein inherited a struggling business unit earlier in his career, he faced an uphill battle. The unit wasn't one he had built, nor had he developed the frameworks or discounting policies in place. Yet, it was hemorrhaging money, and Eckstein quickly realized he had to act. “Just because you inherited the business doesn't mean it's not yours,” he says. “And you shouldn't be thinking in terms of, you know, this isn't mine.”The first challenge was identifying the root of the problem. Was it high commissions? Support costs? After careful analysis, Eckstein uncovered the crux of the issue: the business was operating with a negative gross margin. Several factors were to blame, including a lack of control over discounting. “One person had full control over whether they gave an 80% or 20% discount,” he explains. “We needed to implement levels and thresholds to bring structure to the process.”In addition, Eckstein found that the company hadn't properly evaluated its costs to serve customers. Key personnel were misaligned to the cost of goods sold (COGS), and the company wasn't capitalizing research and development (R&D). “We had to reassign resources to the right areas and ensure our investments aligned with revenue goals,” he recalls.The experience reinforced Eckstein's belief that leadership means taking full responsibility, even when circumstances are inherited. “You need to embrace change and the outcome,” he reflects. “That's the only way to create ownership and drive meaningful results.” Through these efforts, Eckstein began to repair the business unit's trajectory, validating that accountability and decisive action are essential to strategic leadership.

This episode of The 10 Minute Teacher was a lot of fun. Not only did I get to interview my principal, Jonathan Dyal, but my film class, the "Sherwood Showstoppers," filmed the interview. (I'm so proud of how much they are learning!) After a tweet I sent out in October 2023, George Couros and Allyson Apsey invited me to write a chapter about Jonathan in their book What Makes a Great Principal: The Five Pillars of Effective Leadership out this year. (You can listen to my earlier interview with George about what truly makes a great principal and the five pillars shared in the book.) Principal Dyal shares his philosophy of walking the halls frequently to stay connected with teachers and students, emphasizing his proactive rather than reactive philosophy. We talked about his strategies to build trust with teachers and how he uses observations positively. (I like his philosophy of observations; that is what the tweet was about in the first place.) He also discusses how he builds positive relationships with students in a way that improves student culture. This is a unique interview in that I see this firsthand and know the positive results it has when principals leave their offices, walk the halls, and spend time in classrooms. This approach is powerful, and it works! Show notes and transcript: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e866 Disclosure of Material Connection: This episode includes some affiliate links.

Send us a MessageIn this Culture Byte solo episode, Sue discusses the concept of the leadership bundle and its importance in the organization's future success. She explains that leadership is about activities that make something better for the future and recommends defining and practicing a bundle of core leadership tactics. Sue emphasizes the need for leaders to focus on proactive, positive, and results-oriented practices rather than getting caught up solely in supervisory or management tasks. She also highlights the benefits of adopting a leadership bundle at both the individual and organizational level.A leadership bundle is born out of the questions “what is leadership?” “what do leaders do?” and “how do we lead around here?”Leadership is about engaging activities that make something better for the future.The Capstone recommended leadership bundle consists of nine core leadership practices that work together synergistically.To support improvement and growth initiatives, leaders engage in proactive, positive, and results-oriented practices over supervisory or management tasks.Over the duration of the 10-week Capstone Leadership Bundle Academy, participants will be guided through a “learn-do”experience designed to support the adoption of a consistent cadence of purposeful and impactfulactions anchored in nine core leadership practices that move people higher and progress forward.The next Academy offering is Sept 16-Nov 22.Academy details and registration information

Welcome to episode #944 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast - Episode #944. David De Cremer, the Dunton Family Dean at the D'Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University, is passionate about the intersection of technology and leadership. With a rich background in psychology and behavioral economics, David has dedicated his career to understanding how emerging technologies, especially AI, can transform businesses while keeping people at the heart of it all. He's worked across the globe, guiding leaders on how to effectively and responsibly integrate AI into their organizations. David's journey is rooted in a deep curiosity about human behavior and a passion for leadership. He's held prestigious positions at places like the National University of Singapore and the University of Cambridge, where he founded the Centre on AI Technology for Humankind. This wealth of experience has given him unique insights into the challenges and opportunities that AI presents. In our conversation, we dive into his latest book, The AI Savvy Leader - Nine Ways To Take Back Control And Make AI Work. David addresses a critical issue: Many leaders today are handing over control of AI strategy to their tech teams, which can lead to a disconnect between AI initiatives and overall business strategy. His book offers a practical guide for leaders to reclaim their role in the AI transformation. It's not about becoming a tech lead... it's about applying timeless leadership skills — like creating a vision, effective communication, and strategic execution — in the context of AI. David emphasizes that AI should be a tool to enhance decision-making and efficiency, not a replacement for human judgment. He shares stories from his work, highlighting both the successes and pitfalls of early AI adoption. The core message is clear: Leaders need to stay engaged and proactive, ensuring that AI aligns with their organization's values and goals. David's approachable and insightful perspective makes complex topics accessible. He reminds us that while technology evolves rapidly, the fundamental principles of good leadership remain constant. If you're a business leader looking to understand how to leverage AI effectively and responsibly, David De Cremer's insights are invaluable. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:08:55.

How does an award-winning CEO manage the complexities of leading a rapidly evolving business landscape? Join us for part 3 of this special 4-part series where I speak with Kevin Ford, the dynamic CEO of Calian, as we unpack the multifaceted nature of business awareness. Kevin sheds light on the ever-changing nature of geographical markets and the unique conditions affecting publicly traded companies, stressing how crucial it is for leaders to stay informed amidst a constant influx of data. Transparent and honest communication becomes our next focus, especially during turbulent times. Kevin discusses the significance of creating an environment where information flows freely up and down the hierarchy. He highlights the importance of mental preparedness for unexpected challenges and staying composed and receptive to input during sudden changes. By fostering such a culture, leaders can effectively navigate dynamic situations and build a resilient organizational culture. We then turn our attention to technological disruptions, particularly cybersecurity and A.I.

What if the ancient Biblical figure Nehemiah held lessons for our modern lives? The story of Nehemiah, the cupbearer turned wall-builder, takes center stage in this journey through the Bible. Holding a position of influence, Nehemiah is a striking example of how God puts His chosen in strategic places to serve His divine purposes. Nehemiah's heart-wrenching reaction to the devastation of Jerusalem teaches us about turning to God in times of need and being driven by a cause. We dive into the beauty of Nehemiah's prayer and confession. It not only reminds us of our rightful relation to God and His loving kindness, but also underscores the strength in acknowledging our sins. Chapter one shines a spotlight on his deep connection with his homeland and his people, offering insights into how we too can become catalysts for change in our own spheres. This episode offers a refreshing and thought-provoking study on Nehemiah's proactive approach to problem solving. Join us as we move onto the next phase of Nehemiah's story and his plans for rebuilding Jerusalem. We're excited for you to continue on this journey with us!Support the show

Ram Charan: Leading Through Inflation Ram Charan is a bestselling author, teacher, and world-renowned advisor to CEOs and other business leaders of some of the world's best-known companies. His work is often behind the scenes and focused on highly sensitive and fate-making issues. Fortune magazine published a profile of Ram in which it called him “the most influential consultant alive.” His book Execution, lauded for its practicality, spent more than 150 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Ram's energetic, interactive teaching style has won him several awards, including from GE's famous Crotonville Institute and Northwestern. Ram was elected a Distinguished Fellow of the National Academy of Human Resources and was named one of the most influential people in corporate governance and the board room by Directorship magazine. He has served on the Blue Ribbon Commission on Corporate Governance and serves or has served on a dozen boards in the U.S., Brazil, China, India, Canada, and Dubai. He is the author with Geri Willigan of Leading Through Inflation: And Recession And Stagflation. In this conversation, Ram and I explore the changing macroeconomic environment and what leaders can do to address it. We discuss the importance of managing cash well and how pricing decisions can be made effectively. Plus, we discuss the critical nature of partnerships throughout the supply chain — and where the opportunities may be in the midst of challenge. Key Points Inflation consumes cash. Cash management is the number one risk to an organization during this time. The way to get ahead of the curve is to be predictive vs. reactive. This may be a time the existing business model needs to change. Inflation creates an illusion of growth. It's important to adjust for this in all reporting and planning. Work with all sides of the value chain. Help customers deal with rising costs while also working closely with suppliers. Regular communication is essential. Smaller, regular price adjustments are better than less frequent, larger increases. Resist the temptation to offer less for the same price.
