  • What does it mean to empower your team to make good decisions? Chris Seifert tells Kevin that empowerment is more than a buzzword, it requires leaders to build both the competence and confidence of their team. Chris shares his decision-making framework designed to address two critical organizational issues: poor root cause analysis and ineffective decision-making in complex environments. Through real-world examples, Chris reveals how clear "decision rights" can transform organizations, empowering teams while enabling leaders to focus on strategic priorities. He also shares that itā€™s important to document the decision-making process to prevent hindsight bias or the curse of knowledge.

  • Imagine a workplace where your skills ā€“ not your job title ā€“ define your value. What if the way we've understood work for decades is about to be completely transformed? In this episode, Kevin is joined by Ravin Jesuthasan to discuss how the rise of skills-based organizations is reshaping work, talent management, and leadership. Ravin shares a case for why organizations must move beyond traditional job structures and adopt a new model where skills are the currency of work. He also discusses how AI is driving this transformation, both as a disruptor and as a tool. AI offers a pathway to match skills with opportunities at scale. Ravin also highlights the importance of combining technical skills with human (enabling) skills, the role of leaders in recognizing potential, and how emerging tools can help individuals navigate their career paths in meaningful ways.

  • Are you prepared to embrace a future defined by proximity? Rob Wolcott and Kaihan Krippendorff say we are in the digital age which is fundamentally different from the industrial age. They join Kevin to discuss the concept of proximity equals zero (P=0) ā€“ the compression of value closer to moments of demand - and how this is changing the way we work and live. They share how proximity connects with work and how we eat and provide real-world examples from Domino's Pizza's tech-driven customer experience to controlled environment agriculture revolutionizing food production. Further, they provide advice to leaders on leveraging proximity to break down barriers, prioritize opportunities, and align technology with unmet needs.

  • What can leaders learn from bees about creating lasting change in organizations? Siobhan McHale tells Kevin that bees recognize when a hive is overcrowded and the need for a new home. They notice what is emerging and act, which many organizations fail to do. Kevin and Siobhan discuss how leaders can harness the power of group intelligence to foster agile, resilient organizations. She introduces the "Lens Model," a four-part, non-linear framework that includes Look Beyond: Identify and understand hidden patterns that drive organizational behavior. Experiment: Test small changes to discover effective solutions within the system. Nudge: Use subtle shifts to encourage change without creating resistance. Strengthen: Reinforce emerging changes to ensure they become embedded in the organizationā€™s culture. She also talks about GQ, or group intelligence, as a necessary complement to IQ and EQ in todayā€™s complex world.

  • Do you lead over or through? Jonathan Clark says leading through is finding leadership everywhere throughout the organization. He shares three essential elements of leadership: heart, mind, and soul. Leadership is fundamentally about doing whatā€™s right and leading through positive influence rather than coercion or authority. Jonathan believes there can be ā€œloveā€ in leadership ā€“ more than an idea but genuine appreciation, attention, and support for colleagues.

  • Have you ever considered that your best intentions as a leader can lead to self-deception and undermine your effectiveness? Kevin speaks with Victoria Trammel about how self-deception ties to our identity as leaders. Self-deception leads to what an inward mindsetā€”an excessive and unhealthy self-focus that leads us to see ourselves and others in altered ways. She explains how leaders can act in ways that contradict their stated values, denying their team members growth and opportunity. Victoria believes, as leaders, we need to stay curious and see our team as individuals with different needs and goals.
