When it comes to leading a team, there's no such thing as too much information.Good leadership is about good communication. And for General Stanley McChrystal, that means creating a culture of free-flowing information: “The goal is to have everyone know everything all the time,” he says.McChrystal is a retired four-star general, former commander of US and international forces in Afghanistan, and a renowned leadership expert. In his experience building cohesive teams in complex environments, he's discovered that successful teams are built on a “shared consciousness [where] all have a common contextual understanding of what the situation is.” The key to creating that kind of culture, he says, is radical transparency — from leaders and subordinates alike. Whatever your position, “You are responsible for informing other people of things that they need to know,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, McChrystal and host Matt Abrahams discuss how to build shared consciousness within teams, how to communicate across cultural divides, and how to lead with clarity, context, and character.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:General Stanley McChrystalGeneral McChrystal's Books: On Character / Team of Teams155.

Championship leadership is rarely about talent alone. It's about consistency, values, and the willingness to do the unglamorous work—especially when no one is watching. For Ross Bernstein, a Hall of Fame speaker and best-selling author of nearly 50 sports books, that truth has been reinforced across thousands of interviews with the world's top athletes and coaches. The most successful leaders, whether in sports or business, operate by a code—one built on trust, culture, and an unwavering commitment to doing things the right way. Bernstein's work focuses on decoding what separates winning teams from the rest. His research draws not only from statistical trends, but from raw, behind-the-scenes conversations inside locker rooms, press boxes, and dugouts. Championship leadership, he explains, isn't about flash or status. It's built on daily habits, strong relationships, and a team-first mentality that fuels performance over the long haul. Integrity is a recurring theme in Bernstein's message. Drawing parallels between sports and business, he emphasizes that true leaders are defined by how they win—not just whether they win. “Anyone can cheat,” he points out. “But being a champion is about doing things the right way, even when it would be easier not to.” That distinction between gamesmanship and character is where trust is built, and where long-term success takes root. In high-performing teams, the culture often mirrors that of the locker room. There's a shared commitment, a sense of personal responsibility, and an understanding that no one wins alone. Whether it's a quarterback investing in private coaching to stay competitive well into his 40s or a top-producing business executive building meaningful client relationships beyond the sales pitch, the edge comes from discipline, preparation, and a relentless work ethic. Bernstein often points to examples like Tom Brady—not because of his accolades, but because of the less visible effort that fueled them. While most people see the highlight reels, they don't see the nutritionists, neurologists, and sleep coaches behind the scenes. That level of commitment is what championship leadership requires: doing the work that others won't, without cutting corners, and without needing applause. In the business world, the lesson is the same. Top performers don't simply show up when it's convenient. They stay ahead by consistently executing the fundamentals. They invest in their teams. They show up with curiosity and ask questions. They visit their clients' operations in person. And perhaps most importantly, they build relationships that aren't transactional—they're built on trust and value. For leaders aiming to build stronger cultures, Bernstein encourages shifting the mindset from hiring the “best” people to hiring the right people. He recalls how legendary coach Pat Summitt built her championship legacy not by recruiting the top-ranked players, but by finding those who shared her values, work ethic, and team-first mentality. It's a powerful reminder that championship leadership begins with alignment—not just with skills, but with culture, attitude, and mission. Trust, according to Bernstein, isn't given. It's earned through behavior, consistency, and shared experience. It also requires a willingness to teach, not just manage. He recalls how Summitt saw herself more as a teacher than a coach—a subtle but powerful shift that cultivated loyalty, performance, and team cohesion. The idea that “will beats skill” echoes throughout Bernstein's work. While some athletes are born with undeniable gifts, most reach the top through effort, sacrifice, and resilience. It's the same for business leaders. Talent might open the door, but championship leadership is what keeps it open—and expands the path for others. Ultimately, leadership isn't about being the loudest voice in the room or the name at the top of the org chart. It's about showing up every day, doing the work, and holding yourself to a higher standard. Bernstein's insights serve as a reminder that greatness leaves clues—and that those clues are often hidden in plain sight. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

Forbes says leaders are ditching empathy in favour of hard-nosed results. I say: false dichotomy. Great leaders know people are the path to profits.In this episode, I pull apart the “nice vs. tough boss” argument and show why heart-centred leadership isn't soft — it's smarter, more sustainable, and far more effective. Along the way I draw on research and wisdom from Jim Collins, Shawn Achor, Brené Brown, Ed Catmull, Simon Sinek, Dan Sullivan, and others.You'll hear:Why empathy and performance aren't opposites.The hidden cost of fear-based, metrics-obsessed management.How psychological safety and trust drive innovation and profits.Why “nice” isn't enough — but genuine, human-centred leadership is essential.If you've been wondering how to lead in today's climate of uncertainty and pressure — this episode shows you a better way.

Even though it isn't a traditional business book, he considers it powerful because its lessons on discipline, perspective, and resilience apply directly to entrepreneurship and leadership. The timeless wisdom in it helped him stay grounded while navigating the uncertainty and challenges of building and scaling a business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Jason Ackerman recommends several great resources for entrepreneurs looking to grow a small business. His own show, Best Hour of Their Day, dives into leadership, fitness business, and growth strategies. He has also appeared on Two-Brain Radio and the Grow Your Nutrition Business Podcast, where he shares lessons on scaling, coaching, and avoiding common mistakes. For finance and compliance insights, his appearance on The Bandit Room (“A Lot of Letters with CPA Jason Ackerman”) is also valuable. Together, these podcasts offer practical advice on leadership, scaling, and financial management for small business owners. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Jason Ackerman often stresses the importance of tools that streamline growth, and one he'd recommend is a CRM system to manage customer relationships effectively. A CRM helps track leads, follow-ups, and client interactions, preventing missed opportunities. Alongside this, he highlights the value of consistent content and marketing, supported by scheduling tools like Buffer or Hootsuite. Automation platforms such as Zapier can further save time by handling repetitive tasks. Together, these resources free business owners to focus on strategy, scaling, and customer satisfaction. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Jason Ackerman's advice to his younger self on day one of starting a business would be to focus on the long game and not chase perfection right away. He often emphasizes that mistakes are part of the process, and instead of fearing them, new entrepreneurs should learn quickly and adapt. He would remind himself to surround his journey with the right people—mentors, partners, and team members who share the vision and values. He also stresses the importance of patience, since success rarely comes overnight, and consistency matters more than quick wins. Most importantly, he'd tell himself to stay true to his mission and not get distracted by comparisons or trends that don't align with the bigger picture.

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Mike Dillard, the man many call “The Godfather of Attraction Marketing.” I first met Mike over 20 years ago when he was in my downline. As an introvert, Mike didn't want to spend his days cold calling or chasing prospects. Instead, he sought a better way—and he found it. Mike began studying direct response legends like Dan Kennedy, running Google AdWords before most people even knew what they were, and building capture pages that would eventually evolve into the online funnels we use today. His groundbreaking work led to the creation of Magnetic Sponsoring, one of the most iconic movements in network marketing and online entrepreneurship. In our conversation, we cover: Mike's entrepreneurial journey from introvert to industry pioneer How attraction marketing was born The resistance he faced from traditionalists in network marketing What every entrepreneur can learn from his success today If you've ever wondered where attraction marketing started—or how to apply it in your own business—this is a must-watch.
