Every time there's a threat against a company, there is almost always a weak signal or a whiff of smoke that can serve as an early warning of the risk to the organization. If that threat is dismissed or ignored, the whiff of smoke can turn into a forest fire. Then the organization faces a much bigger problem, with fewer options to solve it. CEO Stephen Miles and Managing Director John Nasr discuss the importance of embedding weak signal detection in the company culture.

Without trust, there is no shared or mutual accountability, and teams do not have strong enough foundations to accomplish their goals. Yet, many people cannot articulate what they and their teams actually need to do in order to form that trust. Stephen Miles and Maizie Nelson share the 8 ways to build trust on your team and inside your company.

Washington and Tehran have reached a deal to swap prisoners and unblock Iran's frozen assets in South Korea. Iran will release a number of American prisoners in exchange for the U.S. releasing a number of Iranian prisoners and unblocking $6 billion of Iranian funds to be used for humanitarian transactions. What does this agreement mean for each side? Will this be a prelude for more deescalation between Iran and the U.S.?  Negar Mortazavi speaks to Stephen Miles, the president of Win Without War, a coalition of organizations that work for a more peaceful and progressive U.S. foreign policy. He previously worked for the global campaigning organization Avaaz, was the Executive Director of the American Hellenic Council, and has worked on multiple federal, state, and local electoral campaigns. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theiranpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theiranpodcast/support

Frustration among leaders is mounting when it comes to the overall effectiveness and collective performance of their leadership teams. Amplified by the shift to the virtual world, the transition has lowered shared context while increasing the default to individual executives executing in their own lanes. As a result, companies and leadership teams became more vertical and less horizontal, decreasing the sense of team, and increasing the cost of coordination. CEO Stephen Miles and COO Taylor Griffin focus on the areas where leaders can lower the cost of coordination in order to better establish high-performing leadership teams.

It's back to school, and there's confusion among teachers, students and parents. Last week, the publisher of an advanced-placement psychology course said its teaching materials may violate a Florida ban on addressing LGBTQ issues in classrooms. A clarification by the Florida Secretary of Education was not helpful, and each school district is now reacting differently. Sophia Brown has her eyes on the Sarasota School district. Then: Manatee County's approach has produced better results for affordable housing construction than in neighboring Sarasota. But even in that no-nonsense county, a big housing proposal for veterans has hit a snag. The WSLR News team is following that story. Also: The New College administration ended a long-standing music program last week. Bonnie Silvestri interviewed New College New Music creator Stephen Miles on WSLR's Peace & Justice Report today. We have the highlights from that interview.

CEOs and executives are facing a tsunami of real-time change – at a pace and velocity never seen before. Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin discuss the leadership tools needed in today's environment to create flexible and adaptable companies and cultures, so that change is something leaders can take on successfully and with confidence.

One of the most important elements of being a high performance, high growth executive is identifying ways to reduce behavioral friction. These “low friction” leaders line up to stakeholders' preferences and styles. Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin explain how low friction leadership can lead to exponential growth, create leadership opportunities for executives, and discuss common examples of behavioral friction.

Most founders and executives are so deeply immersed in their business model and products that they forget about themselves – their own personal growth as a leader. Everybody talks about business growth or the exponential growth of an organization, but personal growth is just as important, say Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin. The research is clear that when a founder can effectively scale with the company, shareholder returns tend to be high. There must be commitment to personal growth. It's an ongoing and continuous activity, not just for yourself, but also for the organization and the teams you lead.

Even though they can be inspirational, motivational, and passionate, many Silicon Valley leaders lack the right performance-driven toolkit to achieve success in every economic environment. Rob Tarkoff, EVP of Oracle, joins Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin to describe the kind of “ambidextrous” nature VCs look for in executives – the combination of a potential-driven mindset with the performance-driven aspects of bootstrapping and doing more with less.

Operating in highly complex and dynamic environments, the best CEOs maintain alignment with their teams by communicating frequently, collaborating effectively, and prioritizing routinely. Good process delivers good outcomes, say Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin, and if you take the time to thoughtfully recalibrate and refocus teams with constant context, you can create a culture and environment where everyone can win together.

As layoffs hit the tech sector, Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin discuss how companies need to pivot from potential to performance. We've seen valuations come down at a catastrophic level that nobody could have ever imagined, say Miles and Griffin. They explain how the sudden change redefines expectations for leaders, who may need to refocus their teams on their core business – that “original wicked idea” that got them there.

Unlocking performance inside an organization requires delivering real outcomes, not just a proliferation of activities, say Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin.  This can prove difficult in our new multivariate and asynchronous operating environment. Miles and Griffin discuss how “executing for outcomes” can help refocus and reorient teams in turbulent, highly complex times.

Introvert or Extrovert; Thinker or Blinker – one is not better than the other when it comes to elevating your executive presence. Rather, it's about mastering your personal leadership style to show up as the best version of yourself. Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin explore the differences between these various styles and discuss how high-performing executives can add range to their style so they can better know themselves and show up appropriately and with confidence.

Many executives who have been working from home during Covid may need a wardrobe and executive appearance refresh. Yet the challenge for most leaders who receive feedback around their executive presence is that their sartorial style is fine. Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin discuss how real executive presence extends far beyond dress, to the substance of executives' contributions and their ability to both elevate and adapt their styles to new challenges, reporting relationships, and colleagues.

No matter where you work or whatever industry you are in, being best at the “people business” can help you succeed. When talent management is as critical to your company's long-term goals as it is to your short-term bottom line, you need a team you can rely on, and one that can rely on you, too. Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin explain steps leaders can take to set their people up for success.

The job of high-performing leaders isn't what it used to be. On top of running the company amidst a complex business environment of overlapping crises, CEOs and other C-Suite leaders bear the weight of increasing responsibility, at times defending their companies' very license to operate. Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin explain how a new kind of ‘Leader of the Future' is emerging as we begin to recover from the pandemic despite setback after setback.

What does it mean to successfully reframe “The Great Resignation” into “The Great Transition?" Top executive coaches Stephen Miles and Courtney Hamilton discuss how companies are successfully onboarding new employees; what it's like to welcome someone remotely; and, what the best and worst practices are in this environment for leaders, employees, and those taking on senior roles in new companies. In this important new podcast, Miles and Hamilton share strategic and practical tips for success as the pandemic waxes and wanes, but does not disappear.

Inflation continues to climb at its fastest pace in decades, but most CEOs and board directors today have never dealt with hyperinflation – that's when inflation “turns from transitory to intrinsic, affecting every facet of business in the world today.” Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin discuss how executives can begin to lead – and win – in this new dynamic environment.

Faced with new challenges every day, the world we live in is full of setbacks. Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin discuss how unfamiliar setbacks can test even the strongest leaders, and why leaders should practice embracing these learning moments.

Stephen Miles is Executive Director of Win Without War  John Pilger is an author, film-maker and investigative journalist

It's a Friday and boy, do we need a weekend. Today, we'll deal with a couple of the big issues facing our world. We'll start with the end of our occupation of Afghanistan after 20 years. The mainstream corporate media coverage has been a lot of finger pointing and blaming the current administration, while inviting the people who got us into this mess in the first place are being interviewed as if their views mattered! We've also learned that anti-war organizations have been excluded from all coverage. We'll remedy that with a visit from Stephen Miles, executive director of Win Without War. Then, we'll segue to one of the other major crises of our time -- the ongoing Republican effort to curtail your right to vote. I'll speak with Lala Wu, co-founder and executive director of the Sister District Project, who are focused right now on passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and winning and safeguarding fair and free elections.

This week, Joshua Holland kicks off the show arguing that political reporters' desperate desire to prove to their critics on the right that they weren't biased against Donald Trump is leading many of them to create a narrative of crisis around the Biden administration. Working the refs is as effective as ever.Then we decided to go outside the box and welcome a guest to discuss Afghanistan who doesn't have undisclosed ties to the defense industry and isn't an advocate for permanent war. Stephen Miles,. executive director of Win Without War, joins us to have a very different conversation than they're having over on the cable news networks. PlaylistThe Cranberries: "Zombie"System Of A Down: "Boom!"Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth

Critics of hyper-militarized foreign policy argue that the abuses of America’s war on terror led in a direct line to the January 6 attempt to overturn the presidential election. On this episode of Order from Ashes, two advocates from the grassroots organization Win Without War dissect the connections between unaccountable foreign policy and surging authoritarianism. Democracy is threatened in the United States because of global trends. Stephen Miles and Kate Kizer argue that deep systemic trends will continue to threaten democracy after Trump’s presidency. A serious attempt at accountability, and an investment in peaceful tools of power, can shift the United States away from the dangers of militarization. Participants include: Stephen Miles, executive director, Win Without War Kate Kizer, policy director, Win Without War Thanassis Cambanis, senior fellow, The Century Foundation

The coronavirus pandemic is challenging leaders at unprecedented levels. Executives are facing the complexity of severe business impact and employee health concerns while they and many employees work from home. But many leaders haven’t led during a crisis, says Stephen Miles; they react poorly, amplify stress, and ignore critical information and advice. Miles provides tools for leading powerfully during this crisis, including how to make decisions, communicate, and engage employees with empathy.

The incredible challenges companies are facing today are creating shocks to the system that every CEO needs to prepare for, says Stephen Miles. From the stunning impact of the coronavirus to the increasingly rigorous ESG expectations placed on every company to the exceptional level of performance demanded of leaders 24/7/365, the best CEOs are shifting the way they and their teams approach these daunting problems. Miles takes us through 10 keys that are critical for companies to survive today.

During times of sudden change, how leaders respond is critical to driving the best outcome. Leaders who are less effective make decisions too quickly or not at all. The best leaders are like the best athletes: they slow the game down around them and make it easier for other people to participate. Stephen Miles and Taylor Griffin explain how great leaders communicate with and leverage their teams, absorb rather than amplify stress, and create the context for people to be successful.

The most critical decisions around an employee’s future at a company usually happen when they aren’t in the room. But most organizations have an “agent problem,” says Stephen Miles: its leaders aren’t effective agents or advocates for valuable employees, and talent discussions can get dominated by fast talkers or bullies who push forward “their” people who are less qualified. Miles explains steps you can take to represent your best people most effectively and create a stronger team overall.

This week's episode is dedicated to the spiraling national security crisis with Iran following the US killing of Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani. Stephen Miles, the executive director of Win Without War, sits down with co-hosts Michelle Dover and Joe Cirincione to discuss how the Trump administration's policy toward Iran has brought the US to the brink of a new war in the Middle East, and what can be done to prevent further escalation. Early Warning features our Nuclear Field Coordinator/Senior Program Officer John Carl Baker and Ariane Tabatabai of RAND Corporation analyzing the abysmal results of President Trump's 'maximum pressure' campaign that began with US abrogation of the Iran nuclear agreement, and how this may affect nuclear negotiations with North Korea.

They’re hard to get along with and difficult to manage, but they bring disproportionate value creation to a company, says Stephen Miles. He dubs them “high-beta” executives, and explains how their breakthrough thinking and willingness to take on a business’s most difficult problems can result in massive opportunities for a company and its future. Miles describes the leadership style required to manage the idiosyncratic “high betas” and how to create a place for them to be wildly successful.

Many high-performing executives promoted or hired into a new senior role are “uniquely unqualified” for the position – they have never done that job before. This carries significant risk for the organization, as even the best people can fail when facing scope or scale beyond their experience. But companies can mitigate risk, Stephen Miles explains, if they give people adequate developmental support and ensure that there is strong enough capacity in place to support new talent coming onto a team.

The furore over the decision by House Democrats to launch a formal impeachment investigation into President Trump will be the subject of heated debate for many months. In this episode we take a deeper look at leadership, and why good leaders are so vital to the future of our democracy, and for all organizations-- large and small. "In times of turmoil this is even more important," says our guest, Davia Temin, a highly experienced crisis manager, and leadership and communications coach. "Leadership is particularly important right now, because we are living in a very muddy universe."In business and non-profit organizations, highly successful leaders have learned vital lessons about strategy, communication and ethics. We hear from Stephen Miles, a widely respected leadership coach and top-level succession planning executive. His deep understanding of what makes great leaders is featured in The Miles Group podcast series, "C-Suite Intelligence: Leadership Lessons From Coaches to the World's Top Performing Executives."

Former US Army Captain Nathan Smith sued his Commander-in-Chief saying he would violate his oath as an officer if he fought President Barack Obama’s “illegal war” against ISIS. He lost, but his battle for a new Authorization for Use of Military Force continues. Carter Ham, Commander of AFRICOM (2011-2013) Stephen Miles, Executive Director of Win Without War Michael O'Hanlon, Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy at The Brookings Institution. #BiggerThanFive, #AFRICOM, #AUMF

Eighteen years ago this week, the US Congress passed a resolution giving the American president what some are now calling 'a blank cheque' to wage war. The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, or AUMF, empowered the President to use “all necessary and appropriate force” against the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks and those who harbored them. Yet, those 60 words have been used by three presidents to justify seemingly endless wars around the world. All without debate by Congress, the legislative branch that was granted the power to declare war by the US Constitution. Will Congress take back its war authority -- or will it stand by as the bombs continue to drop? Guests: Carter Ham, Commander of AFRICOM (2011-2013) Stephen Miles, Executive Director of Win Without War Michael O'Hanlon, Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy at The Brookings Institution.

Boom or bust, the smartest CEOs put plans in place well before the next downturn arrives, says Stephen Miles. Without scenario planning and taking steps toward “recession inoculation” during periods of growth, leaders can be caught by surprise when the economy turns, forcing them to make decisions with less time and thought. Miles discusses how CEOs are planning with their top teams and speaking with their boards and investors about how to weather the next recession.

For some companies, success can be dangerous: a “stasis mindset” can take root, with a complacent “we know best” attitude capable of bringing down even the highest-performing companies. Stephen Miles explains that the best leaders actively fight off this mentality by embracing a “growth mindset” – they seek out new challenges and learn new ways of thinking by looking beyond what they already know. He discusses how both individuals and organizations cultivate this critical leadership mindset.
