Podcasts about Rob Hall

Jim Highsmith has been thinking about decision-making for a long time. When he wrote Agile Project Management in 2004, he went looking for practical guidance on decision-making in the project management literature and found very little. That gap matters even more now.In this episode, Jim and I talk about why AI raises the stakes for executive judgment. AI can remove friction, speed up work, and take on repeatable tasks, but it can also make it easier for leaders to stop practicing the very capabilities they are paid to use. Jim brings this to life through John Boyd's OODA loop, the risk of judgment atrophy, mountaineering decisions, Rob Hall's Everest threshold, Phil Knight's pattern recognition at Nike, and a personal story from Jim's own time leading a collaborative project team at Nike.This conversation is really about how leaders build judgment deliberately: by making consequence-bearing decisions, setting thresholds before pressure arrives, creating space for slow thinking, and reflecting honestly on how decisions were made.Key TakeawaysAI can weaken judgment when leaders stop practicing it: Jim compares the risk to driving an autonomous car: the more the system takes over, the less sharp the driver becomes. AI can remove low-value effort, but leaders still need to practice making consequence-bearing decisions.The OODA loop is mostly about orientation: Jim explains that John Boyd's edge was not just speed, but his ability to update his mental model quickly. For leaders, the real work is noticing when old assumptions no longer fit the situation.Capability is knowledge plus experience plus judgment: AI can make knowledge easier to access, but it cannot replace the experience of carrying consequences. Judgment develops when people make real decisions, reflect on the outcome, and adjust how they think.Thresholds only work when enforced under pressure: Jim uses Rob Hall's Everest story to show why decision thresholds matter before emotion, ambition, or sunk cost take over. In business, those thresholds might be cost, risk, customer impact, or reversibility.Leaders need to separate fast decisions from slow judgment: Some repeatable, data-heavy decisions can be automated with guardrails. Higher-context decisions still need human orientation, pattern matching, and time to think.Reflection turns experience into better pattern matching: Barry shares his practice of documenting decisions, what was known at the time, and why the call was made. That kind of review helps leaders improve the decision process, not just judge the outcome.Additional InsightsRole modeling beats mandates: Jim describes how Boyd taught by showing the mechanics of his performance. Barry connects this to AI adoption: leaders create more movement by sharing how they are using the tools in real work.Productivity fatigue is a real AI-era risk: Barry reflects on how AI can increase output while shrinking the space to think. That matters because senior leadership work often depends on judgment, not just throughput.AI transformation is still a people problem: Jim returns to Jerry Weinberg's reminder that “no matter what they tell you, it's a people problem.” Tools help, but organizations still need to redesign the work, behaviors, and decisions around them.Pattern matching is different from gut feel: Jim uses Phil Knight's Nike decisions to show how instinct can come from years of context. What looks intuitive on the surface is often pattern recognition built through experience.Episode Highlights00:00 – Episode Recap – Jim Highsmith frames the core tension of the episode: AI can accelerate work, but it can also expose whether leaders have a real decision-making system or are quietly handing judgment to the machine.01:45 – Guest Introduction – Barry introduces Jim Highsmith, a pioneer of adaptive leadership and original Agile Manifesto signatory whose work has shaped how organizations navigate uncertainty and make high-stakes decisions. (Jim Highsmith)04:27 – Decision-Making Was Missing from the Playbook – Jim explains that when he wrote his first Agile Project Management book in 2004, he found surprisingly little practical guidance on decision-making in standard project management sources.05:47 – The Real Power of the OODA Loop – Jim revisits John Boyd's observe, orient, decide, act model and argues that orientation, the ability to update mental models under pressure, is the part leaders often underdevelop.07:19 – From Process-Centric to Judgment-Centric Management – Jim makes the case that if AI takes over more process improvement work, organizations need decision-making capacity distributed through the system, not concentrated at the top.09:14 – The Judgment Muscle Can Atrophy – Barry and Jim use the autonomous car example to show how useful automation can quietly weaken a capability when people stop practicing it.12:33 – Role Modeling Beats Mandates – Jim explains how Boyd taught fighter pilots by showing the mechanics of superior performance, which Barry connects to leaders demonstrating their own AI experiments instead of simply telling others what to do.15:50 – Capability Is More Than Knowledge – Jim defines capability as knowledge plus experience plus judgment, pointing out that LLMs can provide knowledge but not the consequence-bearing experience that shapes better calls.18:56 – Thresholds Keep Decisions Honest – Jim shares the Rob Hall Everest story to show why thresholds only matter if leaders are willing to honor them when pressure, ambition, or sunk cost pushes the other way.20:58 – Automate the Right Decisions – Jim distinguishes fast, data-dependent System One decisions from slower System Two judgments, giving leaders a practical way to decide what to automate and what to protect.24:31 – From Search Engine to Human-Agent Teams – Jim describes his own progression from using AI as a search engine to working daily with multiple humans and agents, showing that the practice evolves through use.27:06 – Productivity Fatigue and Constant Execution – Barry reflects on how AI can create more throughput while leaving less space for slow thinking, especially for leaders whose real value is making judgment calls.31:05 – Relearning the People Problem – Jim returns to Jerry Weinberg's reminder that “no matter what they tell you, it's a people problem,” and Barry connects that to companies buying AI tools without redesigning how people work.33:21 – Pattern Matching Is Not Gut Feel – Jim uses Phil Knight's early Nike decisions to explain why seasoned executives often seem intuitive because they have built patterns from industry knowledge, relationships, and lived context.36:09 – Decision Journaling Builds Better Judgment – Barry describes documenting decisions, the information available, and the rationale at the time as a way to learn from both strong and weak outcomes.37:22 – A Nike Lesson in Collaborative Judgment – Jim recalls a project decision at Nike where the team agreed with the outcome but challenged the process, giving him a lasting lesson about when people need to be part of the call.38:51 – Closing Reflections – Barry thanks Jim and points listeners toward his writing as these long-standing ideas about judgment, adaptability, and decision-making become even more relevant in the AI era.Useful ResourcesJim Highsmith's website – Jim's home base for his bio, books, articles, podcasts, and current work.

Life can be so busy. From work, to family, church activities, and everything in between, the thought of slowing down itself takes time! On Sunday, Pastor Rob preached on the story of Martha and Mary from Luke 10:38-42. While Martha was busy hosting Jesus, Mary was quietly with Him. Do you desire a prayer life like Mary's? It starts by slowing down, making our relationship with Jesus the highest priority, and choosing to sit at His feet, allowing Him to minister to us in prayer. We are so glad you've joined New North Church for service today!

This Sunday Pastor Rob preaches from Mark 9:14-29 where we see Jesus heal a demon-possessed boy and inviting a desperate father into honest prayer: “I do believe, help me overcome my unbelief!” When our need for control ends, real prayer begins. This week's message reminds us that when prayer is all you have left, you'll find, it's all you need. 

The 1996 Everest disaster was one of the deadliest tragedies in mountaineering history. A sudden blizzard trapped climbers near the summit, leaving them stranded in freezing temperatures with little oxygen. Expedition leaders, including the famous Rob Hall and Scott Fischer, fought to save their teams but sadly didn't make it back. Some climbers were miraculously rescued, while others were left behind in the brutal storm. The disaster raised serious questions about the dangers of commercial climbing on Everest. Even today, the story serves as a chilling reminder that nature always has the final word. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This Sunday Pastor Rob preaches from Matthew 26 where we see Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane moments before he was arrested and crucified. This week's message challenges us to keep praying when God doesn't seem to answer you or outright says “no.” 

As we continue our series, “The Prayer Life of Jesus,” Pastor Rob preaches from Matthew 4, exploring how fasting, modeled by Jesus, can strengthen our prayer lives. This week's message unpacks how to resist the devil's temptations and offers practical, sustainable ways to incorporate fasting into our rhythms of life. 

We're studying “The Prayer Life of Jesus” because Jesus not only taught a framework for prayer called the Lord's Prayer, but he modeled it. This Sunday, Pastor Rob unpacked the longest recorded prayer of Jesus in John 17, revealing Jesus' heart for his disciples and the church our world desperately needs.

We are so glad you've joined New North Church for service today! Pastor Rob Hall concludes our Let Earth Receive Her King Series on Christmas Eve. 

Hola Gerardo aquí en otro episodio de Simplemente Yo; La selección de esta semana es Everest, es una película biográfica de supervivencia de 2015 dirigida y producida por Baltasar Kormákur y escrita por William Nicholson y Simon Beaufoy. Plot: El 10 de mayo de 1996, los guías de montaña Rob Hall y Scott Fischer unieron sus equipos de expedición para el último ascenso a la cima del Everest. Espero que lo disfruten ;) Información adicional del podcast:   Enlace del website official de Filmic Notion Podcast: https://filmicnotionpod.com/ Enlace a nuestra página de Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/446nl  

Pastor Rob continues our Advent Series Let Earth Receive Her King and focused on the Magi. These nativity characters remind us that true worship begins when we receive God's love in Jesus and respond with our very best. This Christmas, we each have a choice: be consumers or worshippers. Are we truly seeking to worship God or just a spiritual pick-me-up? 

Pastor Rob continues our Advent series, Let Earth Receive Her King, by pointing us to the shepherds and the joy they received at Jesus' birth. God chose to announce the good news to shepherds first—outsiders who often went overlooked—to show that His joy is for all people.This Christmas season, we're invited to receive that same joy: make room for Jesus, embrace the good news, share His joy with others, and ask God to fill you with joy anew.Do you have questions about life or need prayer?

We are so glad you've joined New North Church for service today! Pastor Rob launched our new Christmas Series: "Let Earth Receive Her King" where each week we'll dive into a character from the Christmas story. This week, we focused on Joseph, a simple man of trust, faith and obedience to God.

Jesus gave us the Lord's Prayer as a framework for our prayer life, which leads us to the acronym: F.A.S.S.C.P., or foundation, adoration, submission, supplication, confession, and petition.Do you have questions about life or need prayer?

This week, we examine how prayer helps us to fight back against temptation. Pastor Rob preaches on Matthew 6:13 of the Lord's Prayer, “Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one”, highlighting how we should pray when we face temptation. God always provides a way out from sin through the power of the Holy Spirit and through confession in community. When we pray, we fight with Jesus interceding for us, and under His life, death, and resurrection, we are covered by His righteousness and have the freedom to fight against sin.  

When we pray for daily bread, we are praying against greed, temptations of pride and temptations of comparison. We are praying to trust in Jesus, the Bread of Life.Pastor Rob reminds us that God may use unanswered prayers to recenter us and help us to be dependent on God who longs to give us all that we need.What would change in your life if you stopped worrying for next week's bread and trusted God for today?

When we do not know what to pray, the Psalms gives us language to speak back to God. Pastor Rob reminds us that the entire book of Psalms is rich with prayers for all seasons of life-joy, gratitude, need, grief, and many more. Turn to God's gift of the Psalms to form your praise and prayers. This week, focus on one word, verse, or chapter from the Psalms to pray through intentionally.New North is financially sustained through your partnership.

Pastor Rob Hall continues our God Who Hears series by preaches through Moses' prayer found in Exodus 32-34. As Moses meets with God on the mountain top, he intercedes for the Israelites and boldly reminds God of his promises and asks for his presence. A beautiful reminder that prayer is how we cling to God's promises and presence, because without Him we are nothing.Rob HallOctober 5, 2025Series: Year of Prayer - The God Who Hearswww.newnorth.church

Pastor Rob continued our first series through Year of Prayer by diving into Solomon's prayer. We're reminded that cultivating a life of prayer is just as much about listening to God as it is talking to God. Rob HallSeptember 7, 2025Series: Year of Prayer - The God Who Hearswww.newnorth.church

As we near the end of our Hope in the Dark sermon series, Pastor Rob preached through the book of Zechariah. This minor prophet encourages God's people with a name used 52 times: “The Lord of Hosts” or “God of the Angel Armies.” It's a powerful reminder that your battles are God's battles. Rob HallAugust 10, 2025The Book of ZechariahHope in the Darkwww.newnorth.church

In a culture that idolizes comfort, busyness, and the pursuit of the American Dream, it's easy to let our priorities get out of order. In this week's message from the book of Haggai, Pastor Rob challenges us to consider where God truly stands in our lives.  Rob HallAugust 3, 2025The Book of HaggaiHope in the Darkwww.newnorth.church

Ever looked at the news, the city, or even your own life and wondered, “God, do You even care? Are You going to do something about all this?” This Sunday, Pastor Rob walked us through the book of Nahum, a hard but hopeful reminder that God is not blind to evil or indifferent to your pain. He sees, He remembers, and He will respond, but not always on our timetable. 

Where have we grown numb to injustice? It's easy to get overwhelmed by headlines and scroll past suffering on our phones, especially when it doesn't affect us directly, but in Pastor Rob's Sunday message, we learn that the minor prophet Micah doesn't let us off the hook easily. The prophet reminds us that God doesn't just want church attendance, or empty religious rituals. God wants this: “To act justly, love mercy & walk humbly with our God.”Rob HallJuly 6, 2025The Book of MicahHope in the Darkwww.newnorth.church

This Sunday, Pastor Rob continued our journey through the Minor Prophets with the book of Jonah. While often remembered as a Sunday School story about a big fish or a reluctant prophet, Jonah is ultimately about the relentless mercy and goodness of God. Jonah ran from God's call—but he couldn't outrun God's grace. The same is true for us. Rob HallJune 15, 2025The Book of JonahHope in the Darkwww.newnorth.church

The avant-electronic and experimental Irish music festival Open Ear returns to Sherkin Island on the June Bank Holiday weekend. Open Ear is known for its preoccupation with illuminating music operating on the fringes, and the remote island setting of Sherkin Island off the coast of Baltimore in West Cork reflects this outsider ethos. The varied programme is drawn from electronic, techno, experimental folk and trad, jazz EBM, bass music and art rock, and this year features the likes of Irish techno legend Sunil Sharpe, Scottish piper Brìghde Chaimbeul, Cork sean nos rockers I Dreamed I Dream, Belfast Sound Advice record shop owner Marion Hawkes, Limerick rap and production duo Citrus Fresh and 40Hurtz, Catalan/Italian EBM duo Dame Area, Autechre collaborator Rob Hall, and lots more. The programme features one artist at a time across various stages on Sherkin including the infamous Banger Cliff. I spoke to Open Ear head of programming Dion Doherty aka Belacqua about the challenges and uniqueness of putting on an experimentally-minded festival on an island and as it approaches its 10th year, how its planning to grow its European partnerships and unearths Irish music of the underground.   * Support Nialler9 on Patreon, get event discounts, playlists, ad-free episodes and join our Discord community Listen on Apple | Android  | Patreon | Pocketcasts | CastBox | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS Feed | Pod.Link      

Life is full of tensions—moments where two things that seem to be opposites are both true. The Bible is no different. It's packed with mysteries that can stretch our understanding, like how Jesus is both fully God and fully human, or how God is both perfectly loving and perfectly just. These tensions aren't contradictions; they're invitations to a deeper faith.In this series, we're diving into six of the biggest tensions in Scripture. Together, we'll wrestle with questions like: How do we live with joy while facing suffering? How do we embrace God's sovereignty while taking responsibility for our actions? And how do we live in the world without becoming like it?We want to explore these tensions because they're at the heart of what it means to follow Jesus. By holding these truths in balance, we grow in wisdom, trust, and maturity. Instead of trying to resolve the tension, we'll discover how it leads us closer to God and helps us live more faithfully in a complicated world.Join us for this journey—we're not promising easy answers, but we're confident we'll encounter the God who holds all things together.Rob HallMay 4, 2025Philippians 2:12-13Both/Andwww.newnorth.church

In May 1996, two expert mountaineers and their clients set off to climb the world's tallest peak — Mount Everest. Many of the clients have no high altitude experience and have paid upwards of $65,000 to be guided up the mountain by competing companies: Adventure Consultants and Mountain Madness. As the two expeditions prepare to make their summit attempt, hurricane-force winds threaten to end their climb. Leaders, Rob Hall and Scott Fisher, must make a decision: turn around, or keep pushing for the top?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
