Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Matt Ley about his new book Manage Your Gaps: Reclaiming the Awesomeness of Management. Matt challenges the myths and misunderstandings around management, explaining why clarity between contributors, managers, and leaders is key to organizational performance. You'll hear why he says managers are “multipliers” of value, how to recognize when you're being overled or overmanaged, and why he believes managers are not “junior leaders.” Matt introduces his EP!C Management model: Environment, Performance, Identity, and Communication. It's a tactical framework designed to help managers activate and optimize their teams. He also shares practical ideas for improving one-on-ones, measuring success, and even applying these same principles at home through the Four Cs: Care, Clarity, Consistency, and Communication. If you're looking for actionable insights to sharpen your management skills and strengthen your team's performance, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "The thing is, managers are zero value add." "Contribution is all about working in the business. Management's all about working on the business and leadership's all about working on the future." "A manager is someone who's titled with making sure that they're multiplying the value of that organization." "A leader's job is to look up and out. So their job is to define the new, whereas a manager's accountability is to look down and in. So their job is to refine the now." "If you're not doing one-on-ones on a regular, consistent basis? That to me is the beating drum and the heartbeat of management." "It's really hard to feel successful in something if you don't have two things. One, you need a definition of what you're doing. And you need a measurement of how you're doing against it." "We reflect on the different roles that we play, that we call four hats: our professional hat, our personal hat, our partner hat, and our professional parent."

Jeff Traylor's UTSA program has failed to show up in three games under Traylor's tenure. All three have been in rivalry games, with the most recent being a disgusting 55-17 beat down from the UNT Mean Green. This is the type of loss that points to deep cultural issues, as the head man himself ate his own cheese following an impressive but anticipated big win against Rice. The program is quickly heading into a death spiral without drastic change. 00:00 UTSA's Current Struggles 05:09 Fan Sentiment and Engagement 10:00 Coaching Accountability and Performance 19:34 Execution and Discipline Issues 23:55 Unraveling Culture at UTSA 30:24 Offensive Struggles and Quarterback Concerns 31:57 Defensive Failures and Missed Tackles 34:21 The Turning Point of the Game 40:42 Injuries and Team Performance 42:14 Rivalry Dynamics and Future Implications Video: https://youtu.be/VofRX_T6nP8

Debrief to win isn't just a military practice—it's a business imperative. At least, that's how Robert “Cujo” Teschner sees it. A retired U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and the founder of VMax Group, Cujo spent years training elite teams to perform under pressure, make split-second decisions, and lead with accountability. Now, he works with businesses across industries to bring those same high-performance principles into the boardroom. Before launching his leadership consultancy, Cujo served as an F-15 and F-22 fighter pilot, Weapons School instructor, and F-22 squadron commander. He also held a senior role on the Joint Staff and earned advanced degrees in operational art and national security strategy. But what set his military career apart was his deep expertise in the debriefing process—the structured, forward-focused method used by top military teams to learn, adapt, and improve. The idea behind debrief to win is simple but powerful: every mission ends with a disciplined review of what happened, what worked, what didn't, and what must change. It's not about blame—it's about learning. That same mindset, Cujo argues, is desperately needed in today's fast-moving business environment. The transition from fighter pilot to entrepreneur came with its own challenges. After a cancer diagnosis forced him into early retirement, Cujo found himself navigating civilian life without a playbook. But what began as a difficult detour became the foundation for his next mission. He founded VMax Group with the goal of teaching businesses how to “really team”—how to communicate, lead, and operate with the kind of clarity and purpose that's often missing in corporate environments. Debrief to win became the centerpiece of that work. Unlike traditional accountability models in business—often reactive, fear-based, and backward-looking—this approach is proactive, structured, and focused on building a stronger next iteration. Whether a project succeeds or fails, teams are trained to extract insights that improve future performance. What sets Cujo's model apart is the emphasis on learning, discipline, and tone. In high-stakes environments, the way a debrief is conducted can make or break trust. Leaders are taught to approach the process with curiosity, not criticism. That shift in mindset opens the door for honest conversations, stronger alignment, and real improvement—without triggering defensiveness or blame. Organizations that embrace the debrief to win model often see changes well beyond performance metrics. Communication improves. Teams become more resilient. People take greater ownership of outcomes. And over time, a culture of continuous learning begins to take hold. It's not just about fixing mistakes—it's about building the kind of high-functioning teams that don't settle for average. VMax Group, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, works with clients across North America, ranging from fast-growing startups to established enterprises. Cujo's background resonates with organizations seeking not just leadership development, but transformation. His work brings structure to chaos, purpose to process, and accountability to action. In a marketplace filled with disruption—from AI to economic uncertainty to shifting workplace dynamics—the ability to debrief to win is more important than ever. Teams that build learning into their culture are better positioned to navigate change, recover from setbacks, and seize opportunity. And as Cujo often reminds clients, the best time to debrief is not after something goes wrong—it's every time. Whether the goal is scaling a business, strengthening leadership, or improving execution, the path forward starts with a simple question: what can we do better next time? For teams willing to ask—and answer—that question consistently, the results speak for themselves. Watch the full interview on YouTube.

About Cujo Teschner Robert “Cujo” Teschner is a retired U.S. Air Force fighter pilot and the founder of VMax Group, a leadership consulting firm based in St. Louis, Missouri. During his distinguished military career, he served as an F-15 and F-22 pilot, Weapons School instructor, squadron commander, and senior Joint Staff officer. He is a combat veteran with advanced degrees in Operational Art and Science and National Security Strategy. From 2004 to 2006, Cujo was the Air Force's subject matter expert on post-mission debriefing—a methodology used by elite military teams to drive continuous improvement. Today, he brings that same system to the business world, helping organizations build high-performing teams through accountability, clarity, and structured learning. Through his work at VMax Group, Cujo has become a trusted advisor to executives, teams, and organizations looking to lead more effectively in disruptive environments. His mission is simple: to teach teams how to “really team” by applying proven, performance-tested leadership principles that deliver lasting results.

Everyone wants to inspire people - it's an ambition, a badge of honour, but is it that easy? Hosts James Lawther and Jimmy Barber talk about their experience of how they've been inspired by their managers (rarely) or demotivated by them (often), and their experience of trying to inspire others (ditto). Despite this, they identify some things anyone can do to inspire others—as ever, James reverts to system-related changes, while Jimmy focuses on the people side. But there are some things they agree on that could have a significant impact.Plus, you can hear about the Nottingham tradition for Cock on a Stick at the Goose Fair, a hotel recommendation for your next holiday and where the podcast features in a global list of the best podcasts for Managers.Check out this week's episode for insights and tips on how you can improve your performance and enjoyment of work.Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us: Amazon.co.uk: Pink, Daniel H.: 9781847677693: BooksExperience lovely Santorini | Radisson Blu Zaffron Resort, SantoriniBest 100 Podcasts for Managers https://www.millionpodcasts.com/managers-podcasts/Got a question - get in touch.

Tammy brings the hard hitting truth: Chaos might feel like momentum, but it's really just motion without meaning. In this fast-paced episode, she dives into the high cost of allowing stress, drama, and avoidant behaviors to run your workplace. Through personal anecdotes (like the story of "Frank"), Tammy explains why unsustainability is the ultimate price of chaos—affecting everything from turnover rates and sick leave to team productivity. This is a crucial lesson on self-regulation, clarity, and building a workplace where order restores energy and trust. 4 Costs of Chaos Chaos is Expensive: Chaos lacks sustainability. Leaders who use fear or high-pressure tactics get short-term results, but overall productivity drops, leading to increased turnover, higher sick leave, and loss of revenue. Unregulated Leaders Create Unregulated Teams: You cannot lead people out of stress while you are drowning in it. An unregulated leader models expected chaotic behavior, causing the team to become dysregulated, driving them to spend time job-searching instead of working. Communication in Chaos Becomes Cannibalistic: Fear-fed communication eats results for breakfast. When defensiveness (a form of fear-filled communication) becomes the norm, team members focus on self-preservation, eating away at collaboration, trust, and transformation. Regulation is Not Rigidity: Order restores energy, focus, and trust in your team. Regulation is about your "count-on-ability"—what your team can rely on from your reactions and responses. It's the opposite of being stuck; it's the foundation for agility. Actionable Tools & Quotes The Problem with Volatility and Vacancy: Both yelling and retreating are equally damaging. Vacancy (silence/shutting down) tells people they can't trust you, while volatility pushes them away. Leaders must find the regulated middle ground. The Key to Performance: "Healthy, actionable steps driving performance is a winning plan every single day." Your Self-Check: Ask your team: "What is your count-on-ability factor?" Look at your sick leave and turnover rates—these are chaos-driven numbers. Final Quote: "Fear-fed communication eats results for breakfast." Call to Action: Don't drive Q4 momentum with chaos. Drive it with curiosity and clarity. I unapologetically ask bold questions and challenge assumptions to help leaders rethink what they thought was true! DM me the word CHAOS on Instagram @TheTammyBond to get a resource that will help you ask the right questions to solve for the chaos and finish the year strong.

Most orthodontic leaders think motivation lives in the paycheck. Add a bonus here, throw in a perk there, and watch performance soar. Except it doesn't work that way. True motivation isn't bought. It's built. Dr. Ann Marie Gorczyca proves it every day with three psychological pillars: autonomy, mastery, and purpose. When you weave these into your culture, motivation becomes self-sustaining.

BONUS: Jochen Issing on Building High-Performing Engineering Teams In this BONUS episode, we explore the fascinating journey of Jochen Issing, an engineering leader who brings unique insights from his background as a handball player and band member to building exceptional software development teams. From sports courts and music stages to engineering leadership, Jochen shares practical wisdom on psychological safety, team dynamics, and creating cultures where the best ideas win. From Sports and Music to Software Leadership "As soon as you complain about each other, you are starting to lose." Jochen's unconventional background as a handball player and band member has profoundly shaped his approach to engineering leadership. Drawing from team sports, he discovered that frustration leads to losing in both athletics and technology work. Great players in great teams optimize for the team's results, not individual glory. This translates directly to software development where great engineers slow down to make the team faster, recognizing that collective success trumps individual achievement. The lesson from the handball court is clear: when team members start blaming each other, they create a losing mindset that becomes self-fulfilling. Breaking the 10X Engineer Myth "It's not your success that makes our success, it's our success that makes your success." The mythology of the 10X engineer remains pervasive in software development, but Jochen challenges this with insights from team dynamics. The "hero culture" in companies often emerges when systems are already broken, requiring someone to step in and save the day. While we celebrate these heroes, we forget to ask the crucial question: how did we end up needing a hero in the first place? True high-performing teams don't require heroic individual efforts because they've built sustainable systems and shared knowledge. The goal isn't to eliminate talented individuals but to ensure that even the most skilled engineers can take time off without the organization grinding to a halt. Creating Psychological Safety Through Vulnerability "When psychological safety is missing, I try to ask ignorant questions - expose myself as being the least experienced person in the room." Building psychological safety requires intentional strategies that go beyond good intentions. Jochen employs a counterintuitive approach: when he senses team members hesitating to speak up, he deliberately asks "ignorant" questions to position himself as the least knowledgeable person in the room. This modeling behavior demonstrates that it's safe to admit uncertainty and ask questions. He also builds a culture of "challenging ourselves" by implementing ritualized dissent - assigning someone the specific job of finding flaws in proposed solutions. This prevents the dangerous harmony that can emerge when teams agree too quickly without proper scrutiny. The Power of the Expectation Sheet "I want people to share with me what might even drive them away from the company." Trust forms the foundation of effective team relationships, but building it requires explicit frameworks. Jochen uses an "expectation sheet" (See a prototype here Google Doc)- a document that formalizes mutual expectations between him and his team members. This tool establishes that he wants open, honest communication about everything, including situations that might drive someone to leave the company. The key principle is that he will never share confidential information or use personal disclosures against team members. This creates a relationship where he serves as both a representative of the company when necessary and a personal advocate for his team members when they need support navigating organizational challenges. Team-Centric Productivity and Collaboration "The team is the unit of productivity and delivery, not the individual." Effective engineering leadership requires balancing individual desires with team outcomes. Jochen emphasizes that while people naturally want to say "I did this," the focus must remain on team impact. This involves creating shared understanding of collective goals while still addressing individual needs and growth aspirations. Practical strategies include using on-call rotations to identify knowledge silos, implementing pair programming and mob programming to reinforce collaborative work patterns, and designing tasks that allow individuals to take ownership while remaining embedded in team efforts. The analogy to band dynamics is apt - when someone brings a song idea to the band, it evolves through collaboration into something different and usually better than the original vision. Building Sustainable High Performance "Great engineers slow down to make the team faster - which is how we get better teams." Sustainable high performance emerges when senior engineers invest in lifting the entire team rather than maximizing their individual output. This means senior staff level engineers focus less on their personal contributions and more on forming "tribes" across teams, coaching junior engineers, and building organizational capability. The measure of success shifts from individual heroics to collective achievement - if problems consistently require the same person to fix them, the team hasn't truly succeeded in building sustainable systems and shared knowledge. Recommended Resources for Further Reading Jochen recommends several foundational books for understanding team dynamics and engineering leadership. "The Culture Code" by Daniel Coyle explores the structure of high-performing teams and debunks myths about command-and-control leadership. "Product Development Flow" by Reinertsen provides the scientific foundation behind agile methodologies and explains what teams are really trying to solve. "The Culture Map" by Erin Meyer offers insights on working with diverse cultures and backgrounds to bring out the best in each team member. "Coaching Agile Teams" by Lyssa Adkins serves as a practical guide for developing coaching skills in technical environments. And our very own Scrum Master Toolbox podcast provides ongoing insights and real-world experiences from practitioners in the field. About Jochen Issing Jochen is an engineering leader who's all about building great teams and better developer experiences. From audio tech and cloud platforms to monorepos and feedback culture, he's done it all. A former bandmate and handball player, Jochen brings heart, trust, and collaboration into everything he builds with his teams.

When the “real meeting” happens after the meeting… We've all been there (likely on all sides of this story): People nod along in the team meeting.No one pushes back.A decision gets made. Then, moments later, Slack lights up with doubts, hallway chats surface all the real concerns, and suddenly progress slows. This week's episode is about those team patterns we all know are hurting us and why still so many teams get stuck in them. Spoiler: it's not about bad people (yes, that co-worker is not actually the problem!). It's about predictable dysfunctions most teams naturally fall into. Ramona walks you through the 5 core dysfunctions that get in the way of a team's performance and shows you how to shift your team from artificial consensus and siloed execution to real trust, fierce conversations, shared accountability, and actual collective results. If your team is smart, capable, but somehow still… not quite at its best, then this is the episode you've been looking for. What we'll talk about:- Why “being nice” in meetings might be killing creativity and clarity- The true cost of avoiding conflict (and how to mine it productively)- How peer-to-peer accountability beats top-down micromanagement- What high-performing teams actually do differently and how to get started She also shares how the Five Behaviors® assessment and workshop help teams identify what's holding them back and provides a structured, practical path toward higher performance.

Summary Have you ever wrapped up your workday thinking, “I've been busy all day, but I'm not sure I actually made anything better”? If so, you're not alone, and today's guests are here to help you break that cycle. In this episode, Andy talks with Don Kieffer and Nelson Repenning, co-authors of the new book There's Got to Be a Better Way. Don is a former Harley-Davidson executive who led during some of the company's most challenging years. Nelson is a professor at MIT Sloan who studies why well-intended management tools often fail in practice. Together, they're helping leaders rethink how work actually gets done. In the conversation, you'll learn why so many teams get stuck in firefighting mode, and why that's often not a people issue but a systems issue. You'll hear how to spot the “firefighter-arsonist” pattern, why problem-solving starts with problem-finding, and what it means to “design for discovery.” We also talk about Agile, Lean, invisible handoffs, and even how these ideas apply to family life. If you're looking for insights on how to make your team's work more effective, sustainable, and human-centered, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “Most performance problems are not people problems. They're design problems.” “You get what you design for. And most work isn't designed at all. It just kind of happens.” “Firefighting is not a character flaw. It's a predictable output of a broken system.” “If you don't make the work visible, you can't improve it.” “When no one owns the handoff, it's not really a handoff. It's a drop.” “Success should be easy. That doesn't mean the work isn't hard, but the path to doing it well should be clear.” “Discovery isn't luck. It's a design choice.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction 01:49 Start of Interview 01:59 The Origin Story: How Don and Nelson Collaborated 07:36 Challenges in Implementing Business Tools 13:19 Dynamic Work Design vs. Traditional Methods 25:16 A Lesson from the Factory Floor 26:53 Identifying and Solving Problems in Teams 31:23 The Importance of Connecting the Human Chain 35:46 Making Work Visible: Strategies and Tools 40:34 Applying Work Strategies at Home 42:46 End of Interview 43:12 Andy Comments After the Interview 47:35 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about the book and their work at shiftgear.work/theres-got-to-be-a-better-way-book.

In This Episode When a small business crosses the startup threshold, growth brings complexity—and without structure, that complexity can stall progress. In this episode of the System Simplified podcast, host Adi Klevit sits down with Kelly Schaefbauer to explore the six managerial leadership practices that help small businesses build trust, clarity, and scalability. Kelly explains how his methodology begins with a “task inventory” to map out every function, department, and responsibility before assigning people to roles. From there, businesses can create precise role descriptions, document step-by-step processes, set measurable performance benchmarks, and establish targeted training plans. The conversation also dives into the final practice: continuous improvement. Kelly shares how regular reviews help identify constraints, refine processes, and raise performance across the board. Whether you're a founder looking to scale or a manager striving for team alignment, this episode delivers a blueprint for operational success rooted in systems and accountability.

At the start of Somya's Scrum Master journey, she joined a well-organized and balanced team. However, after two senior developers left the company, the team faced unexpected challenges. Despite hiring new people, velocity didn't improve. Somya discovered that a remaining senior developer had been stepping back and wasn't contributing actively to the team. Through conversations and giving specific tickets to the senior developer, Somya learned valuable lessons about early intervention and communication. Self-reflection Question: How quickly do you address performance concerns with team members, and what signals do you watch for to identify when someone might be disengaging? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Every leader knows the rush of validation when someone brings you a problem and you solve it on the spot. But Gary Cohen, founder of CO2 Coaching and author of Just Ask Leadership, learned that this habit can limit your team's potential and make you the organizational bottleneck. While growing his company from a $4,000 investment to 2,200 employees, he and his business partner became overwhelmed by constant questions. The solution wasn't giving faster answers—it was becoming question-askers instead of answer-givers.In interviews with over 100 exceptional leaders – from Fortune 500 executives to four-star generals – Cohen discovered they all had a moment where they shifted from being “the answer person” to “the question person.” For General Jack Chain, a promotion made him realize his role had fundamentally changed. For ConAgra's Mike Harper, moving from engineering to R&D forced him to lead experts whose knowledge far exceeded his own. These shifts inspired frameworks like the GPS model (Goal-Position-Strategy) for focused conversations and the PEAK model, which guides leaders through four questioning styles – Professor, Innovator, Judge, and Director – to spark breakthroughs.Cohen's most powerful insight is that most team members already know the answers. They don't need you to solve their problems—they need you to help them uncover solutions themselves. When they do, ownership skyrockets, and so does performance. The path to multiplying your leadership impact starts with changing your identity from “the teller” to “the asker.” Everything else follows from that transformation.

Are you constantly chasing perfection, or are you truly celebrating progress? In this insightful episode of the Leadership Sandbox podcast, Tammy J. Bond challenges leaders to shift their focus from the dreaded "gap" of what hasn't been accomplished to the powerful "gain" of what has. Tammy passionately advocates for a gain-driven mindset, urging leaders to move beyond self-sabotage by acknowledging every step forward, learning from failures, and fostering a truly positive team environment. Discover how conducting a "gain audit" can transform your perspective, enhance motivation, and significantly boost team performance. This conversation highlights the profound impact of measuring progress on team dynamics and underscores why leadership is about owning your journey – celebrating every piece of traction, not just the final win. Stop punishing yourself with unmet goals and start cultivating a culture of acknowledgment and growth! Key Takeaways for Leaders: Progress Over Perfection: Shift your focus from measuring what you haven't accomplished (the "gap") to celebrating what you have achieved (the "gain"). The "Gap" Treadmill: Understand that "living in the gap" is counterproductive, leading to self-sabotage and hindering motivation. Perspective is Power: Recognize that true progress is found in perspective, not the unattainable pursuit of perfection. Celebrate Traction: Learn to celebrate every piece of traction and small win, not just major successes, to build continuous momentum. Conduct a Gain Audit: Implement a gain audit with your team to intentionally review accomplishments and foster a positive, appreciative environment. Lead by Example: Be aware that your team watches how you measure success – model a gain-driven mindset. Learn from Failures: Embrace acknowledging failures as valuable learning opportunities, rather than reasons for self-punishment. Shift Negative Mindsets: Actively work to shift negative mindsets within yourself and your team towards recognizing opportunities and strengths. Own Your Journey: Embrace the reality that leadership is about owning your journey, acknowledging every step of growth and learning. In This Episode, You'll Learn: How to apply a gain-driven mindset to enhance motivation and combat self-sabotage. Practical steps for conducting a gain audit with your team to improve team performance and morale. The critical role of perspective and emotional intelligence in effective goal setting and leadership. Why celebrating progress, even small achievements, impacts team dynamics and overall organizational health. Strategies to move from a focus on shortcomings to one of strength and growth. Chapters: 00:00 Measuring Progress vs. Self-Punishment: Tammy introduces the core concept of shifting from self-criticism to celebrating progress. 05:11 Conducting a Gain Audit: Practical guidance on how to implement a gain audit with your team for tangible results.

Anamaria Ungureanu: Goal Clarity—The Missing Piece in Agile Team Performance Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Anamaria shares her experience working with a platform implementation team that appeared engaged but was actually struggling in silence. Despite initial assumptions that everything was fine, the team's quiet demeanor masked their lack of understanding about project goals and deliverables.  Through strategic intervention including goal clarification with the Product Owner, confidence level assessments, and story mapping sessions, Anamaria helped transform a disengaged team into one capable of successful delivery. Her approach emphasized the importance of fostering constructive conflict, asking open questions during sprint planning about demo expectations, and facilitating better PO-team interactions to create transparency and shared understanding.
