What if the fastest way to unlock performance isn't to lead louder, but to host better? We sit down with best-selling author Steve Fortunato to rethink leadership through the lens of hospitality—not the restaurant kind, the human kind. Steve reveals why so much “look at me” leadership creates a vicious cycle of entitlement, and how the host mindset flips the script to “look at you,” building trust, engagement, and shared ownership.We dig into three practical principles you can apply today. First, speak the good: start by changing the inner voice you lead from, then actively name strengths in colleagues, clients, and your company to counter negativity bias and build momentum. Second, honor the other: elevate dignity with real curiosity, mine for the gold, and apply what you learn through personalized recognition, better questions, and tailored support. Third, earn respect, don't expect it: stand in their shoes to understand pressures and constraints, and pursue reconciliation when things go wrong so relationships are restored, not just transactions.Throughout the conversation, Steve connects leadership and hospitality with vivid stories: power dynamics that make customers feel “lucky to be here,” the ecosystem of value that requires giving before getting, and how small hosting rituals—clear openings, inviting voices, pronouncing names right, closing loops—quietly transform culture. We close with a simple loop to keep you improving: celebrate what worked, then pick one thing to refine next time. If you're ready to trade performative heroics for meaningful hosting, this one will change how you run meetings, lead projects, and serve customers.

In today's fast-paced world, leadership is undergoing a transformative journey. The old paradigm of leading through control and authority is being replaced by a conscious, heart-centered approach that values authenticity, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence.In this new episode, Sophie Vo Vo and Marko Kecmann, business partner in games for 11 years, explore the essence of this evolution, uncovering key insights and practical steps leaders can take to embark on their own inner work journey.Leadership Coaching WisdomThe Power of Letting GoA recurring theme in leadership evolution is recognizing the need to let go of control. Leaders often try to micromanage and dictate every aspect of their team's operations. However, true leadership lies in empowering others and trusting them to bring their skills to fruition.Instead of dictating terms, embrace the idea that leadership means guiding, influencing, and inspiring others to achieve common goals.Active ListeningOne of the most undervalued yet crucial skills in leadership is active listening. It involves listening not to respond, but to truly understand and empathize with others' perspectives. Practicing active listening opens up channels for deeper communication, enabling leaders to connect with their teams on a more authentic level.Be a Life StudentLeadership is not about having all the answers, but about constantly learning and growing. Adopting a mindset of continual education and curiosity allows leaders to remain adaptable and open to new ideas.As Sophie mentioned, even at the age of 50 or 60, remain a student to effectively lead evolving teams.3 Signs You Have Shadows in Your Leadership#1 Defensiveness to FeedbackIf you find yourself defending every critique instead of embracing it, it might signal underlying shadows. Such reactions often stem from insecurity or an inflated ego, masking deeper issues that require attention.#2 A Constant Need for ControlOver-managing and a reluctance to delegate can be indicators of internal shadows driven by fear of failure or losing authority. Observe if this need springs from an authentic place or is clouded by past experiences and perceptions.#3 Avoidance of VulnerabilityAn unwillingness to show vulnerability can prevent authentic connections with your team. Shadows often manifest in maintaining a façade of perfection or invulnerability, hindering growth and mutual trust.Where Can You Start To Practice Self-Awareness?Journaling and ReflectionSet aside time for regular journaling to explore thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Writing can illuminate patterns and provide clarity on personal challenges and areas for growth.Seek Feedback and CoachingInvite feedback from peers and consider engaging with a coach to gain external perspectives and guidance. A coach can help identify blind spots and support you in navigating personal and professional challenges.Mindfulness and Somatic PracticesEngage in mindfulness exercises and somatic practices to become attuned to your inner experiences. Techniques such as meditation, breathwork, or guided visualization can aid in reducing stress and promoting emotional regulation.Join Leadership Circles or RetreatsParticipating in leadership-focused workshops or retreats offers a supportive environment to explore self-awareness. Engaging with others who are on a similar journey fosters learning and peer support.ConclusionLeadership is no longer about wielding power over others; it is about fostering a space where everyone feels empowered to contribute their best. Embracing inner work through self-awareness, vulnerability, and continuous learning is vital for modern leaders.By acknowledging and releasing the shadows that hinder our potential, we pave the way for a more compassionate and connected leadership landscape.Join Sophie and Marko in embracing this revolution in leadership—a journey that starts from within

Can small, meaningful interactions transform leadership and organizational success? Join us as we explore this fascinating question with Zach Mercurio, an authority in purposeful leadership and positive organizational psychology. Through Zach's compelling research, we uncover the concept of "mattering" in the workplace, a crucial element often overlooked amidst traditional rewards like pay raises and promotions. As employees grapple with feelings of invisibility, Zach introduces the idea of a "mattering deficit" and shares his insights on how leaders can create cultures where every team member feels valued and significant, elevating both well-being and performance.Our conversation with Zach also explores the profound impact of genuine care and connection in leadership. We address the distinction between caring about and caring for team members, emphasizing the importance of intentionality in leaders' actions. Unconscious signals can undermine employees' sense of mattering, and Zach provides practical strategies to ensure leaders' good intentions translate into meaningful daily practices. From understanding the role of "soft skills" to recognizing the subtle biases that can lead to complacency, we explore ways to build a supportive environment that fosters true belonging.Finally, we touch upon the critical role of noticing and affirming those we rely on at work. By moving beyond transactional interactions to transformational ones, leaders can create a more inclusive atmosphere. We share techniques like the green, yellow, red check-in to gauge emotional states and Carl Rogers' active listening principles, vital for building meaningful relationships. As we consider the intersection of AI and human connection, this episode promises a thought-provoking discussion on how recognizing and valuing each other can empower teams and, ultimately, transform organizations.What You'll Learn- The critical nuances between caring about and caring for your team- Shifting from transactional to transformational interactions- The significance of emotional connections in communication and decision-making- The paradox of leadership: empowering teams by letting go- The vital role of soft skills and the intersection of AI and human connectionPodcast Timestamps(00:03) – The Power of Mattering (in Leadership)(12:14) - The Importance of Caring for Others(18:36) – What It Truly Means to Notice Someone(27:03) –Small Gestures Can Build Deep Emotional Connections(38:03) – How to Create Psychological Safety(48:02) - Empowering Leadership Through Relinquishing Control(54:29) - Mattering in an AI WorldKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, The Power of Mattering, Maximizing Engagement, Enhancing Well-being, A Culture of Caring, Practicing Empathy, Soft Skills Drive Hard Results, Deep Emotional Connections, Effective Communication, Building Trust, The Perils of Command and Control, Increasing Human Connection, Relational Economy, Creativity, CEO Success

Recognized as one of the “Top 10 Inspiring Women Rocking the Global Business World,” Susan's work fosters inclusive cultures globally under Sawubona Leadership, celebrating individual gifts and uniting generations. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Susan Inouye discuss:A gift-centered leadership approach in organizationsBridging the gap between millennials and older generations in corporate environmentsSomatic practices for leadershipThe power of community in leadership The ‘Sawubona' leadership approach Key Takeaways:When leaders rely too heavily on their natural gifts (e.g., planning, high standards), those strengths can become weaknesses, such as micromanagement or resistance to adaptability. Learning to integrate the "opposite" trait fosters balance.Intellectual insights alone do not create lasting change; leaders must embody new behaviors through physical experiences, such as slowing down through Tai Chi or building confidence through martial arts.Companies that implemented the "Sawubona" approach saw significant financial and cultural improvements, with some increasing profitability by 50% in just six months.Sustainable change in leadership starts with a few committed individuals who embody transformation, creating a ripple effect that reshapes organizational culture. "Most people who have a gift, they overuse the gift until it becomes a weakness or curse.” — Susan Inouye Connect with Susan Inouye: Website: https://susaninouye.com/leadovationpodcast/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7G6sjAyzq3UDnumH7L8ZcwLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-inouye-083384b/X (Twitter): https://x.com/InouyeSusanFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/susaninouye2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susan_inouye/Book: Leadership's Perfect Storm: https://www.amazon.com/Leaderships-Perfect-Storm-Millennials-Possibilities/dp/194527137X See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

About Projjal (JJ) Ghatak: JJ is pioneering a new approach to leadership in today's hybrid work environment. At OnLoop, he uses AI-driven feedback mechanisms to empower leaders to foster growth, collaboration, and high performance within their teams. His innovative approach shifts feedback from judgment to curiosity, turning it into a tool for constructive development. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Projjal (JJ) Ghatak discuss:The role of AI in enhancing leadership and workplace feedback systemsAI-driven productivity and its impact on workforce efficiencyThe intersection of artificial intelligence and emotional connectionThe future of AI in business and global competitivenessEthical and societal implications of AI replacing human interactions Key Takeaways:AI-generated feedback has been proven to be more structured, unbiased, and effective than feedback given by 91% of human managers, helping employees better understand their strengths and weaknesses.Studies show that people are more likely to accept constructive feedback when they don't know if it was written by AI or a human, but they become more resistant when they are explicitly told it was AI-generated.AI-powered companionship services, such as AI-generated boyfriends and girlfriends, are growing rapidly, especially among individuals who have lost a loved one or feel emotionally isolated.Unlike some nations that regulate AI cautiously, Singapore has actively embraced AI innovation, prioritizing technological advancement over concerns about potential misuse in order to stay globally competitive. "Giving and receiving good feedback is a deeply unnatural act, and I think we've been largely unsuccessful at getting people to do it well at scale.” — Projjal (JJ) Ghatak Connect with Projjal (JJ) Ghatak: Website: https://www.onloop.com/Email: projjal@onloop.ioLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pgonloop/X (Twitter): https://x.com/OnLoopFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/StayOnLoop/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stayonloop/ See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

About Tim Whitmire:Tim Whitmire is the co-founder of F3 Nation, a global network of free, peer-led workout groups for men that has expanded to tens of thousands of participants worldwide. In 2018, he founded CXN Advisory, a consultancy focused on helping CEOs and leaders align on strategic objectives, drawing from his experience as a college rower and his role as an organizational “coxswain.” After suffering a serious stroke during heart surgery in 2022, Whitmire's recovery deepened his commitment to prioritizing relational over transactional approaches in life and leadership. A Harvard graduate and California native, he is the co-author of Freed to Lead: F3 and the Unshackling of the Modern-day Warrior and is working on a new book, The 91 Percent Solution. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Tim Whitmire discuss:Growth through transformative life eventsCommunity as a remedy for isolationThe power of relational leadership practicesSustainable effort as a path to successTransforming workplace culture to foster connection Key Takeaways:Physical fitness and strong, authentic relationships provide vital support during recovery from life-changing challenges, fostering resilience and growth.Structured communities address loneliness by creating opportunities for meaningful relationships, shared purpose, and mutual support.Leadership that focuses on relational connections rather than transactional interactions builds trust, engagement, and stronger teams.Prioritizing sustainable effort through approaches like the “91% Solution” promotes balanced achievement, long-term productivity, and personal well-being.

Chapter 1 What's Turn the Ship Around! by L. David Marquet"Turn the Ship Around!" by L. David Marquet is a leadership book that shares the author's experiences as a U.S. Navy submarine captain. Marquet emphasizes the importance of empowering individuals to take ownership of their work rather than following a top-down command structure. He details how he transformed the USS Santa Fe, a struggling submarine, into one of the best-performing ships in the fleet by promoting a culture of competence and control at all levels. The book introduces concepts like ‘leader-leader' rather than ‘leader-follower,' encouraging leaders to foster an environment where employees are encouraged to think critically, make decisions, and become actively engaged in their roles. Through practical insights and anecdotes, Marquet illustrates that when individuals are trusted and given responsibility, performance and morale improve dramatically.Chapter 2 Turn the Ship Around! by L. David Marquet Summary"Turn the Ship Around!" by L. David Marquet is a leadership and management book that recounts the author's experience as a U.S. Navy submarine captain. Marquet took command of the USS Santa Fe, a submarine that was struggling with low morale and poor performance. Instead of maintaining the traditional top-down leadership approach, Marquet implemented a new philosophy of leadership that he termed "leader-leader" rather than "leader-follower." Key Themes and Concepts:Empowerment and Ownership: Marquet emphasizes the importance of empowering individuals at all levels of an organization. He believed that by giving his crew members ownership of their tasks, they would feel more engaged and responsible for their work. Instead of merely following orders, crew members were encouraged to think critically and make decisions.Control vs. Competence: Traditionally, leaders feel the need to maintain control over their subordinates, which can lead to bottlenecks and disengagement. Marquet argues that leaders should instead focus on building competence within their organization, allowing team members to operate independently with confidence.Communication and Trust: Effective communication is critical in any organization. Marquet cultivated an environment where crew members felt safe to express their ideas and concerns. Establishing trust among team members led to improved collaboration and innovation.Intent-Based Leadership: Instead of the typical command-and-control structure, Marquet introduced the concept of intent-based leadership, where leaders communicate their intent and the team members take the initiative to act. This shift encourages proactivity and adaptability in teams.Decentralizing Decision-Making: Marquet restructured the decision-making process, allowing more junior crew members to make decisions on their own. This approach not only reduced the burden on leaders but also allowed for quicker and more effective responses to challenges. Results:Under Marquet's leadership, the USS Santa Fe transformed from one of the worst-performing submarines in the fleet to one of the best. The morale and engagement of the crew improved significantly, showcasing the effectiveness of his leadership approach. Conclusion:"Turn the Ship Around!" serves as a practical guide for leaders looking to inspire and empower their teams. Marquet's experiences demonstrate that leadership can be transformative when leaders focus on enabling their people to take ownership and responsibility for their work, ultimately leading to better outcomes and a stronger organizational culture.Chapter 3 Turn the Ship Around!
