Episode 29 offers a comprehensive analysis of Mike Woodson's four-year tenure as Indiana University's basketball coach, examining the factors behind his hiring, the challenges he faced, and the broader implications for college basketball coaching searches at traditional powerhouse programs.Hosts Bob Moats and Mike Wiemuth are joined by Josh Burton of Everything College Basketball to discuss how Woodson's departure represents a cautionary tale about bringing NBA coaches without college experience to the collegiate level, while also exploring how the transfer portal era is reshaping basketball programs at all levels.Segment 1: The Challenge of NBA-to-College Coaching TransitionsNBA-to-college coaching transitions have a mixed track record (Penny Hardaway, Juwan Howard, Mike Woodson), with most struggling to adapt to the complexities of the college gameThe college coaching environment requires significantly different skills than the NBA: recruiting, player development, NIL management, and relating to much younger athletesCollege basketball demands systems that maximize less developed players, while NBA coaching often assumes elite talent that can create their own opportunitiesWoodson faced a substantial age gap (often 40+ years) with his players, creating challenges in connecting with and developing young talentThe role of a college coach as GM, recruiter, and developer requires much more multifaceted skills than NBA coaching positionsSegment 2: The Woodson Era's Strategic FailuresWoodson's offensive system remained rooted in outdated basketball philosophy, featuring two traditional bigs clogging the paint rather than adapting to modern spacing conceptsIndiana consistently ranked among the nation's worst in three-point attempt rate (321st, 350th, 351st, and 321st in his four seasons)Several talented guards (Tamar Bates, Kalib Banks, CJ Gunn) transferred away from Indiana and flourished elsewhere in systems that maximized their skillsWoodson's inability to adapt his system to modern basketball led to predictable offensive struggles against teams that employed drop coverage defenseWoodson's reliance on Trayce Jackson-Davis' individual brilliance masked tactical shortcomings early in his tenureSegment 3: Recruiting Challenges and Program DirectionWhile Woodson improved Indiana's recruiting profile compared to the Archie Miller era, he struggled to land elite guards after early success with Jalen Hood-SchifinoWoodson went 0-for-31 on top-100 guard offers after Hood-Schifino committedNotable recruiting misses including Braelon Mullens, Liam McNeely, and Boogie Fland severely limited Indiana's ceilingThe center-focused offensive style likely deterred elite guards from committing to IndianaWoodson's alleged lack of effort in recruitment (reportedly going months without contacting five-star in-state recruit Braelon Mullens) reflected broader questions about his commitment to the modern demands of college coachingSegment 4: Legacy and Lessons for Blue Blood ProgramsWoodson's tenure represents a transitional period that did leave the program in somewhat better shape than he found it (went 2-2 against Purdue after Archie Miller went 0-7)Never had a losing season, made two NCAA tournaments, and raised Indiana's recruiting profileTraditional programs like Indiana must be willing to take bold coaching risks rather than "safe" options to return to elite statusThe transfer portal era makes program rebuilding potentially faster but requires coaches who fully embrace modern basketball philosophy and recruitingIndiana and other blue blood programs risk continued decline and fan apathy if they don't adapt to the changing landscape of college basketballThis episode provides a thoughtful examination of how the transition from NBA to college coaching often fails due to fundamental differences in the required skill sets and approaches. The discussion highlights how college basketball's evolution demands coaches who can adapt to modern offensive principles, navigate the transfer portal era effectively, and fully commit to the demanding schedule of recruiting.The conversation serves as a valuable case study for athletic directors and programs considering similar hires, emphasizing the importance of selecting coaches with a deep understanding of the college game's unique dynamics rather than relying solely on professional pedigree or alumni connections.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here Most supply chain leaders say they're transforming—but are they really? Or are they just rearranging the same old playbook? In this episode, Maria Villablanca joins Jan, Terry, and Jim to unpack what real transformation looks like in a world where disruption is constant and uncertainty is the new normal.They start with the hard truth: traditional supply chain leadership—focused on cost and control—isn't built for today's demands. Maria calls this a "leadership disruption," where leaders must evolve into strategists, visionaries, and change agents.So, what does real transformation look like? Maria says it starts with intent. The companies doing it right align people, tech, and processes around a unified strategy. They're not chasing tech for tech's sake. They're solving real problems, building cultures that adapt fast, and fostering real cross-functional collaboration.Then the conversation turns to COVID—a crisis, yes, but also a necessary stress test. It exposed how fragile global supply chains really are—but it also made people finally care about them. And that visibility, Maria says, opened a once-in-a-generation opportunity to redefine what the profession is—and what it could be. But now that the crisis has faded, there's a risk of slipping back into the shadows — unless leaders keep pushing the narrative forward.And that's where storytelling comes in. Maria argues that the industry desperately needs better PR. If we want the next generation to choose supply chains over TikTok, we need to start telling a better story.Looking ahead, Maria sees big shifts on the horizon: AI and automation will reshape how we plan, source, and deliver. Supply chains will become predictive, self-correcting, and more autonomous. Globalization will give way to regionalization. Talent shortages will persist, making leadership development and culture more critical than ever.So, what should leaders do right now? Maria's advice: learn to unlearn. Stop recycling old solutions for new problems. Ask different questions. Think differently. And most of all, lead with courage. The best supply chain leaders aren't just running operations—they're shaping the future of the business itself.Themes discussed in this episode:The opportunity to reposition the supply chain as a growth engine, not a cost centerThe importance of cross-functional collaboration to enable real transformationHow COVID exposed the fragility—and value—of global supply chainsWhy the supply chain profession needs better PR to attract top talentThe future of supply chain careers and why Gen Z is key to innovationHow storytelling, communication, and soft skills define the modern supply chain leaderThe long-term impact of tariffs and geopolitics on supply chain visibility and designWhy supply chain leaders must “learn to unlearn” to stay competitive in a fast-changing worldFeatured on this episode: Maria VillablancaTitle: Founder, Villablanca Consulting & Host of Transform Talks Podcast SeriesAbout: Maria is one of the world's leading supply chain, procurement, manufacturing, and digital transformation experts.

Creating Meaningful Employee RecognitionRecognition plays an important role in engagement in the workplace. Getting recognition right will boost morale, while generic or incorrect recognition can lead to demotivation and disengagement. It is key to acknowledge individuals for their unique efforts. This personalized and specific recognition makes employees feel valued and appreciated. In this episode we draw on extensive research by Gallup, explore the analogous "5 Love Languages" model, and define the differences between feedback, praise, and recognition. This episode is ideal if you are a leader -- or teammate -- who wants to make your recognition frequent, specific, genuine, personalized, and strengths-driven. 00:00 Introduction: The Problem with Traditional Recognition00:35 The Importance of Recognition: Stats and Insights02:24 Personal and Meaningful Recognition04:15 Feedback vs. Recognition: Key Differences07:26 Implementing Effective Recognition Strategies15:15 Generational Differences in Recognition15:42 The Five Pillars of Recognition17:24 Personalizing Recognition: Tips and Examples21:42 The Role of Strengths in Recognition36:10 Practical Tips for Managers40:49 Conclusion: Moving Beyond Gold WatchesRESOURCES:5 Clues to TalentThe 5 Love LanguagesEmployee retention depends on Recognition (Gallup)Recognition and Generational similarities (Gallup)Redefining feedback w/ Recognition (Gallup)YOUR HOSTS: Jen Werner @ Jen Werner Coaching Facebook | LinkedIn | WebsiteJen's Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Responsibility | Achiever | Belief | Deliberative | Activator Chad Ahern @ Talent and Teams Consulting LinkedIn | WebsiteChad's Top 5 CliftonStrengths: Learner | Deliberative | Responsibility | Harmony | Analytical The opinions and insights we share on each CliftonStrengths theme are our own and are based on our understanding of Gallup's Strengths-based development research.

Movie of the Year: 1984Amadeus (with Katie Walsh!)The Movie of the Year podcast recently turned its attention to the iconic film Amadeus, offering listeners an in-depth analysis of this classic through an engaging conversation with guest critic Katie Walsh. Amadeus, directed by Milos Forman, is not just a retelling of Mozart's life; it's a rich exploration of genius, jealousy, and the complexities of talent. In this episode, the hosts and Walsh delve into the film's themes, focusing on what it means to have talent, the unique approach Milos Forman took to the musician biopic, and the unforgettable performances by Tom Hulce and F. Murray Abraham.Exploring Amadeus: The Nature of TalentThe discussion begins with one of Amadeus's central themes: the nature of talent. The hosts and Walsh explore how the film juxtaposes the extraordinary, almost divine talent of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with the more modest abilities of Antonio Salieri. The podcast highlights how Amadeus portrays talent as both a gift and a curse, examining Salieri's agony as he recognizes Mozart's genius, something he can admire but never replicate.Katie Walsh brings an insightful perspective on how the film's portrayal of talent transcends the musical realm and touches on broader human experiences. She notes that Amadeus raises questions about the fairness of life's gifts and the torment that can arise from recognizing one's limitations in the face of someone else's brilliance. The conversation underscores how Amadeus resonates with anyone who has ever felt overshadowed by a more gifted peer, making it a timeless study of human emotion and ambition.Milos Forman's Amadeus: A Revolutionary Musician BiopicMilos Forman's direction of Amadeus is another focal point of the episode. The podcast examines how Forman, already renowned for his work on One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, revolutionized the musician biopic genre with this film. Instead of crafting a straightforward biography, Forman created a lush, operatic drama that blends historical accuracy with artistic license, bringing Mozart's world to life in a way that feels both authentic and larger-than-life.The hosts and Walsh discuss how Forman's approach to Amadeus differs from other musician biopics, particularly focusing on the rivalry between Mozart and Salieri. The film does not merely celebrate Mozart's genius; it also delves into the darker aspects of his life and the intense envy it provokes in Salieri. This choice elevates Amadeus beyond a simple retelling of Mozart's life, making it a profound exploration of human nature, power, and legacy.Katie Walsh praises Forman for his ability to balance the film's grand, operatic scale with intimate character studies, allowing audiences to connect with both the historical figures and the universal themes they represent. She points out that Forman's direction ensures that Amadeus remains accessible and engaging, even for those who might not be familiar with classical music or Mozart's life.Tom Hulce and F. Murray Abraham in Amadeus: A Study in ContrastsNo discussion of Amadeus would be complete without acknowledging the outstanding performances of its lead actors, Tom Hulce and F. Murray Abraham. The podcast dedicates a significant portion of the episode to analyzing how these two actors brought Mozart and Salieri to life with such depth and nuance.Tom Hulce's portrayal of Mozart is described as both electrifying and tragic. The hosts and Walsh discuss how Hulce captures Mozart's childlike exuberance, as well as his...

This Day in Legal History: Harlan Fiske Stone DiesOn April 22, 1946, the United States Supreme Court lost one of its distinguished jurists, Chief Justice Harlan Fiske Stone, who died unexpectedly at the age of 73 while still serving on the bench. Appointed as Chief Justice in 1941 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Stone had originally been nominated to the Court as an Associate Justice in 1925 by President Calvin Coolidge. His tenure as Chief Justice was marked by a strong commitment to the principles of judicial restraint and a profound respect for the Constitution.Stone's legal philosophy was notably pragmatic and centered on a belief in judicial deference to the decisions of Congress and the executive, except in clear cases of constitutional violation. This approach was reflective of his broader views on the role of the judiciary in American democracy, emphasizing that courts should not interfere with policy decisions unless absolutely necessary. Under his leadership, the Court navigated through complex issues including war-time rights, separation of powers, and economic regulation.Chief Justice Stone is particularly remembered for his opinion in the landmark case of United States v. Darby in 1941, which upheld the Fair Labor Standards Act and marked a departure from the Court's earlier resistance to extensive federal regulation of the economy. This decision demonstrated his nuanced understanding of the balance between state and federal powers and his support for broader legislative authority in economic matters.During his time as Chief Justice, Stone also oversaw the filling of all seats on the Court, shaping its composition and, indirectly, its jurisprudence. He was instrumental in fostering a collegial atmosphere among the justices, despite the ideological differences that often characterized the Court's deliberations.Stone's sudden death, from a cerebral hemorrhage suffered during a public session of the Court, marked a dramatic close to a career deeply embedded in the fabric of American legal history. His death underscored his dedication to his role, having served until his very last moments. His legacy is reflected in the decisions and directions the Court took under his stewardship, especially in the affirmation of federal power and the protection of civil liberties.Harlan Fiske Stone's era as Chief Justice was a pivotal period in the Supreme Court's history, reflecting a transition in American jurisprudence from strict constitutional literalism to a more flexible, interpretative approach that considered the realities of a changing society. His leadership helped steer the Court through the turbulence of the Great Depression, World War II, and the beginning of the Cold War, leaving a lasting impact on the judicial landscape of America.The U.S. Supreme Court is revisiting the issue of homelessness for the first time in 40 years, taking up the case of Grants Pass v. Johnson. This case emerges from a small city in Oregon, known for its natural beauty, where local ordinances impose fines on individuals sleeping in public with bedding, a matter now being evaluated under the Eighth Amendment's clause against cruel and unusual punishment. Grants Pass, despite its growth and beauty, lacks permanent public shelters, leading homeless advocates to support the removal of such punitive measures due to the absence of housing alternatives.The city argues that such issues should remain under local and state jurisdiction, allowing for more creative, localized solutions. Meanwhile, opposing voices, including various scholars and homelessness advocates, argue that these laws unfairly penalize the involuntarily homeless and potentially shift focus from penalization to more constructive solutions like increasing housing availability. This case could set a significant legal precedent affecting how municipalities nationwide address homelessness.The Ninth Circuit Court previously struck down the Grants Pass ordinances, siding with those who argued that without sufficient shelter space, individuals have no choice but to sleep outside, thus making the city's fines for public sleeping inherently unjust. The Supreme Court's prior engagement with homelessness was decades ago, focusing more on protest rights than the broader implications of homelessness laws.With homelessness rates at a record high across the U.S., the outcome of this case could redefine the legal landscape surrounding how cities manage their homeless populations. It reflects a critical juncture where the judiciary may redefine the boundaries of local governance in dealing with social crises, especially when it comes to balancing punitive measures with human rights considerations.Supreme Court Tackles Homelessness for First Time in DecadesTop law firms are increasingly bypassing traditional on-campus recruiting events, opting to engage directly with potential recruits earlier in their academic careers. This shift, driven by the desire to secure top talent before competitors, involves firms offering positions to law students before they complete their first year, significantly ahead of the usual on-campus interviews (OCI) controlled by law schools and the National Association for Law Placement (NALP). As a result, firms like Morrison Foerster indicate that direct hires might comprise about half of their new class, as waiting for OCIs might cause them to miss out on desirable candidates.This trend has led to a snowball effect with other major firms like Weil Gotshal & Manges and Jones Day opening their applications for summer programs well before traditional timelines, sometimes as early as mid-April. This causes them to make hiring decisions based on a smaller academic record, compressing the timeline for law students to decide their career paths. Moreover, the pandemic has facilitated a shift towards virtual interviews, further speeding up the recruitment process and allowing more firm partners to participate without the logistical challenges of travel.However, this compressed timeline poses challenges both for students, who have less time to understand their legal careers fully, and for firms, which must ensure they are still hiring candidates who will succeed in the long term. To adapt, some firms, like Morrison Foerster, are considering incorporating new assessments or writing exercises into their interview processes.Law schools are also adjusting to this new landscape by moving their OCI sessions earlier, as seen at Howard University and other top schools like Yale and Stanford. This aligns more closely with the timing of firm applications, putting additional pressure on students to make quick decisions, often with incomplete information from their first year of studies.The changes in recruiting practices reflect a broader move towards a more aggressive, market-driven approach to hiring, emphasizing efficiency and early engagement with potential hires. This evolution in the legal recruitment field underscores the competitive nature of hiring for prestigious law firms and the significant impact these early decisions can have on the careers of young lawyers.Big Law Skips Ahead of On-Campus Recruiting in Race for TalentThe criminal trial of former U.S. President Donald Trump has commenced in New York, marking the first-ever trial of a former president. Trump faces 34 counts of falsifying business records, related to a $130,000 payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels by his former lawyer, Michael Cohen. This payment, intended to ensure Daniels' silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump, is accused of misleading voters during the critical final stages of the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump has denied the allegations, pleading not guilty to all charges.Prosecutors are presenting this case as part of a larger "catch and kill" strategy, where Trump, along with Cohen and David Pecker, former CEO of American Media, aimed to suppress damaging stories prior to the 2016 election. This strategy reportedly included payments to Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, both intended to prevent stories about Trump's extramarital affairs from surfacing. American Media, under Pecker's leadership, admitted to these practices as part of a non-prosecution agreement.The trial will feature testimony from Pecker and at least 20 other witnesses, with proceedings expected to last six to eight weeks. Cohen, a central figure in the case, may face credibility challenges due to his own legal history. Trump's defense argues that the payments were personal matters and not campaign-related expenditures.The legal battle unfolds as Trump remains a significant figure in American politics, actively campaigning for a return to the presidency in a tight race against Joe Biden. Despite the charges, Trump's political support among Republicans has surged. The trial's outcome could influence the broader political landscape, especially as Trump also faces other criminal charges related to different aspects of his political and post-presidential activities.Trump hush-money trial kicks off with opening statements in New York | ReutersTikTok has voiced concerns about a bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives that could lead to a ban of the app if its Chinese owner, ByteDance, does not divest its stake within a specified timeframe. The bill, which saw a significant majority approval in the House, is now headed to the Senate and has the support of President Joe Biden. U.S. officials, including members from both major political parties and the Biden administration, argue that TikTok poses a national security risk due to potential data sharing with the Chinese government.TikTok, however, has refuted claims that it has shared or would share U.S. user data and insists that the bill infringes on the free speech rights of its 170 million American users. The company has likened the move to censorship, echoing its response to a previous state-level ban in Montana. Additionally, the American Civil Liberties Union and other free speech advocates have criticized the bill, suggesting it does not effectively counter the broader issues of data privacy and foreign disinformation efforts.Senator Mark Warner expressed concerns on national television about TikTok being used as a propaganda tool by the Chinese government, while others argue for the necessity of more robust data privacy legislation rather than a ban. Representative Ro Khanna mentioned that a ban might not hold up under legal scrutiny due to constitutional free speech protections. Amidst these debates, the bill aims to accelerate the divestiture process by setting a firmer deadline for ByteDance, underlining the ongoing geopolitical tensions surrounding technology and data security between the U.S. and China.TikTok says US House bill that could ban app would 'trample' free speech | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

His background as an athlete and  collegiate coach led to a career as an agent, commercial agent, and vice president of marketing for a major sports agency and a consultant at the other. Five things you'll learn from this episode: Common misperceptions about working with celebrity talentThe difference between celebrities and influencersHow to protect yourself when approaching a celebrity that isn't well known yet for partnershipWhether you should give up equity or stock in a partnership with a celebrityWhat name, image, likeness isQuotablesIt's very easy to have champagne taste and a beer wallet, but the beautiful thing is that if we understand that there's talent available for every budget, as long as you're flexible you're always going to have a good relationship. — @RicBachrachIt's not that celebrities aren't influencers – of course they are – but the reality is as the word influencer is most commonly used today, that's in relation to people who have become famous or achieved some relative level of fame, primarily through a digital footprint platforms that they're working on, either as bloggers, or as YouTubers, or [other] things. — @RicBachrachYou see applications that are business-to-business driven, others that are business-to-consumer. So there's no shortage of the ways that companies use celebrities nor in the different applications in the various disciplines, advertising, marketing, PR, sales, promotion. — @RicBachrachIn every single case, it's the same thing: The celebrity serves as the vehicle for the dissemination of corporate messages. — @RicBachrachOne of the things that I always counsel my clients on right out of the gate is the understanding that they are not buying a new best friend. — @RicBachrachThey can now be compensated by a brand or by an organization for the use of their name, their images, their likenesses — @RicBachrachNIL is here to stay; the challenge with it right now is that it's unchartered territory — @RicBachrachAbout Ric BachrachRic is the CEO and president of Celebrity Focus. His company's main goal is to connect famous people with famous brands. He was inspired to start the company after realizing the needs of talent and realizing he could put that to work for corporate clients.

Scott MacGregor is the founder & CEO of SomethingNew LLC, one of the fastest-growing talent strategy companies in the country. SomethingNew is a record seven-time recipient of the American Business Award for Innovation and winner of Best of Staffing. Growing up, he had dreams of becoming a professional athlete, but a career-ending injury in college forced him to pivot and refocus his energy into business. He was the youngest National Account Manager in the history of Pitney Bowes, a Fortune 500 Company, and at the age of 29, he took a bold leap into the startup world. After 10 years of putting the plan together for SomethingNew, Scott launched the company that redefines talent acquisition and recruiting.  In 2020, he asked himself, “How can I give back more? How can I help more people?” The answer to that came in the form of a private membership community called Talent Champions Council. The idea behind the community was to teach leadership principles, spread his ‘People Over Everything' mantra, and help industry leaders uplevel their businesses. In just two short years, the platform has amounted to over 500 members in 29 countries, and hosted 140 live,  interactive events.  When Scott came up with the idea for SomethingNew, he was dedicated to building a company that gave back. He was able to combine his passion for learning about people's unique stories and philanthropy by publishing the Standing O! books. Each book features prominent CEOs, professional athletes, bestselling authors, Olympians, military leaders, and more who share chapters of gratitude for life lessons learned, and 100% of the proceeds go to charity.

On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, our guest is Vipin Sharma, Head of HR at VT Netzwelt Pvt Ltd.Having been a part of the HR industry for over 20 years, Vipin is a strategic HR thinker with hands-on expertise in managing internal HR MIS and reporting matrices, HR yields and matrices for the success of entire human capital management.In addition, he consults HR leadership on how to approach and create strategies on all elements of talent acquisition, RPO, leadership development, and total rewards to enable achieving business and operational goals.   With a background that extensive, it's no surprise this episode covers a lot of ground: The failure-accepting culture: strategies for learning from failureThe rise in voluntary attrition: why it's time for a remote employee retention strategyAgile talent management strategies for changing workplaceWhy do you need a skills-based approach to hiring and developing talentThe power of frequent employee recognitionSoft skills in the workplace: Why they matterFailure-accepting culture: it covers strategies to learn from your failure.Orthodox practices of HR practice do not seem fit for today's corporates. It is the world of a hybrid working style, with the Work From Home model for most employees after the pandemic. With the acceptability of opening opportunities and trust among the companies to switch to the new model, there is a broad acceptance for learning from failure. However, it primarily depends on the kind of trust and category you are looking for in your organization's resources. The importance of retention strategyPeople working from home have a different set of problems, which is required by HR to understand. Indeed, today's HR should work as a corporate monk, with the right tone of communication. Moreover, as there is a shift from rational to emotional model, there should be an engagement value added to the HR's responsibility to build people's trust.Agile talent management strategies for changing workplaceIt majorly depends on the industry a person is working with. For instance, if the drive is from the IT workspace, the primary concern to provide a better life to employees revolves around the concept of power. Talent management keeps your organization's business continuity running to prevent any risk for failure. Plus, the strategy to use talent management also includes grouping the tools where the individualistic frontier of an employee is valued.What are the skills-based approach to hiring and developing talentFirstly, talent acquisition teams have to change the gears for the recruitment channels they are utilizing. Secondly, how the organizations are reaching out to the resources is a big question to deal with. Indeed, creating trust in the arena of the talent pool is equally essential to retain the best talent for the organization. So, instead of head-hunting, recruiters should consider the different aspects of where the selection starts and where recruitment starts!BONUS: Willing to figure out ways to save your employee turnover cost?

For me it's what makes life so interesting.” -Doug Conant [8:29]On how to navigate imperfect jobs early in one's career. “For me it's about growth, and it's not just my growth, it's growth and contribution to others. And so I'm always looking through the lens of growing and contributing in a more substantial way.” -Doug Conant [9:22]“As a CEO, you're crazy if you think you're going to know everything. So you've got to be able to have a collection of people that know a lot about the subject matter expertise and then you've got to be incredibly fluent at orchestrating to optimize your effectiveness at calling on all those talents.” -Doug Conant [10:24]On leadership as a learnable skill: “I view leadership in a mastery model, you've got to become a craftsman at it. You apprentice, you study, you learn, and most of the time you do it by the seat of your pants, let's be honest. But I think it's imperative that you really embrace the notion of being a brilliant leader to get the most out of people.” -Doug Conant [12:43]“It's hard to have courage if you're not clear on your convictions.” -Doug Conant [26:46]“You were an overnight success 25 years in the making.” -Syd Finkelstein [30:49]On the most important aspect of leadership “I find that my effectiveness, in every situation, improves if I'm a good listener. If I'm very attentive with it. I serve people better because I better understand their situation. They appreciate that I'm earnestly trying to hear them and we move forward in a way that's a higher order of effectiveness.” -Doug Conant [52:24]Stay Connected:Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The SydcastDoug ConantWebsite: https://conantleadership.comLinkedIn: Douglas ConantTwitter: @DougConantYoutube: Doug ConantSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.

What is your employee experience like? Would your employees write rave reviews about their experience working at your organisation?Today's guest, Ben Whitter, is an employee experience expert and a bestselling author. He works with a number of global companies helping the CEOs fix their employee experience so that it's in keeping with their preferred customer experience and their brand. “We look at everything that's connected to people, society, culture, the organisation, leadership, technology, and we say, how is this driving people forward and helping them fulfil their potential?”Today, Ben talks about his mission, how he wants to see HR own the commercial metrics inside an organisation and step away from the typical HR metrics of recruitment and sickness absence. He wants HR to instead be responsible for innovation, profitability, customer satisfaction and productivity.“If you're developing and investing in your customer experience, you would expect to see some return with new business coming in, retaining clients or customers, new customers, new referrals. And it's the same for employee experience.”From where his research has taken him, to the best place for an organisation to start, to sharing a few tactical examples from the organisations he's worked with, to his views on hybrid work and how that'll affect employee experience when we start to return to the office, this is a fantastic conversation with Ben. We hope you learn as much as we did. On today's podcast:The best place for an organisation to startTactical examples of best practiceHow to measure employee experienceHis favourite CEO storyThe Timpson model for talentThe hybrid model and employee experienceLinks:First Book - Employee Experience New book - Human Experience at Work
