30. Naphtali Hoff on Being the New Leader Jul 29, 2019

Show notes

Being a captain in the United States Army Reserve prepares you more than you might think to become Miss USA.

Whether you’re an experienced leader in a new leadership role or brand new to leading others, you may be feeling a little uncertain.

The wrong way to go into a new leadership role is not to listen at all and change everything all of a sudden.

The right way...? It’s nuanced, but you can do it.

That’s why we sat down with Naphtali Hoff about his transition from education leadership to leadership coaching--to hear the lessons from his book, Becoming the New Boss, that he wishes he had when he was a new leader.

“The challenges to a large degree are universal,” Naphtali said. “The idea of understanding what you're getting into and building relationships is frankly what leadership is all about.”

29. Deshauna Barber on Leadership Lessons From the Miss USA Stage Jul 08, 2019

Show notes

Being a captain in the United States Army Reserve prepares you more than you might think to become Miss USA.

Both require conquering your fears, and both teach leadership lessons.

Today we’re joined by Deshauna Barber, the first Miss USA currently to serve in the United States military, who will give us a preview of some of her wisdom for the Leadercast Women event on October 18th in Atlanta.

“It was two sides of Deshauna. You have Captain Deshauna Barber, and then you have Miss USA Deshauna Barber. So it's good to show that women are diverse, and we have so many elements to us,” Deshauna said.

Two things can happen when you play basketball.

You can win, or you can lose.

Nancy Lieberman, one of the biggest names in U.S. basketball and the first female head coach in a men’s professional league, has gained insight on fearless leadership from her decades of playing and coaching basketball.

“I'm a basketball player,” Nancy said. “I'm wired to win, and I'm wired to compete.”

27. David Nico on Supporting Wellness for Your Employees Jun 10, 2019

Show notes

In the U.S., about 70% of people are overweight, and about 40% are obese.

Over the last 30 years, there’s been a threefold increase in overweight children.

This isn’t healthy for us, our families, or our teams. In this episode of the Leadercast podcast, David Nico, a peak performance strategist, keynote speaker, certified coach, and author of Diet Diagnosis, will explain how health optimization can positively influence work culture.

“A poor diet, the drug culture--I want to emphasize--this is not normal,” David said.

26: Susan Packard on Growing Your Brand May 27, 2019

Show notes

Leaders don’t live on islands.

They grow best in communities of leaders who invest in them.

Susan Packard, the cofounder of Scripps Network Interactive (and speaker at our upcoming Leadercast Women event in October), attributes her success to examples she could follow, tools she could use, and people she could inspire.

She isn’t an interior designer or a gardener, but was instrumental in establishing HGTV.

She isn’t a financial guru, but was the backbone of the growth of CNBC.

For Susan, it wasn’t about what organization she was leading, but the people she could lead.

“You get a team of people together that can help you to make something successful,” she said.

Show notes

Andy Stanley is the Founder of North Point Ministries, which has grown from one church in 1995 to seven now in the Atlanta area, plus a network of more than 90 churches around the globe.

The natural next question is, How in the world did it happen?

In this episode, Andy shares the leadership principles that have guided North Point’s growth, including his thoughts on how to hire well, creating a brand that people want to be aligned with, and how to establish flourishing teams.

24. Brandon Smith on How Dysfunction Manifests on a Team Apr 22, 2019

Show notes

Dysfunction has the power to derail leaders, their teams, and their organizations.

But leaders have the power to derail dysfunction.

Brandon Smith, the Workplace Therapist, who has spent nearly 20 years committed to improving the health and functioning of the workplace, coaches executives and organizations on how to overcome some of the biggest challenges facing the workplace.

Brandon is here with us on the Leadercast Podcast to talk about how inconsistent leadership is the most dysfunctional leadership style--and how leaders can combat it.

23. Patrick Lencioni on What to Do About Team Dysfunction Apr 08, 2019

Show notes

Everybody wants to address team dysfunction, but nobody really wants to talk about it.

It's uncomfortable.

And where do you even start?

Our guest on today’s episode of the Leadercast podcast is Patrick Lencioni, a team health expert. Patrick literally wrote the best-selling book on the subject, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. He’s also the Founder and President of The Table Group, a management consulting firm specializing in team health.

Patrick walks us through how to be a leader who recognizes and addresses team dysfunction confidently and from a place of vulnerability.

22. How to Have Conversations That Matter with Celeste Headlee Mar 29, 2019

Communication is the lifeblood of leadership.

If you can’t communicate, you simply can’t lead.

Good communication starts with good conversations. Conversations that are real. Conversations that matter.

In this episode, we're joined by Celeste Headlee, an award winning journalist, professional speaker, and author of We Need to Talk: How to Have Conversations that Matter. Celeste tells us about how a failed conversation spurred her to learn about how leaders should communicate.

Celeste tells us what’s wrong with communication, how to set it right, and how leaders can start having better conversations.
