What happens when a senior executive leaves the organization? Succession planning is a way to answer this question. Executives use this process to identify employees who could potentially take over vacant roles that are critical to the continued success of an organization.
While succession planning applies to the top-level, critical roles (typically the top three career levels), talent review is another process that applies to almost all levels of an organization. In the literature, authors frequently describe talent review but label it as succession planning. Talent review ain’t succession planning; however, blending the two concepts isn’t necessarily a bad idea.

01:44 Part 2: Talent Review
03:28 Part 3: What Can Get You In Trouble

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 65, Dave Best responds to three traditional leadership assumptions:
-
Team members are the cause of unproductivity
-
Team members cannot be trusted
-
Team members are less important than revenue, profits, operational expenses, and leaders
00:00 Prologue
Dave Best is not only a senior manager at The Home Depot, he is a drummer, hockey commentator, self-improvement guru, and a family man. He graduated from Penn State University with a BA in Telecommunications. Regardless of the company, Dave innovates and strengthens team relationships. He builds trust wherever he goes.
02:26 Part 1: Teams and Productivity
Whether consciously or unconsciously, some leaders work from the traditional leadership assumption that team members are the cause of unproductivity. When problems occur, they blame the team. Dave talks about what happens when you don’t work from this assumption.
19:59 Part 2: Teams and Trust
Too often, leaders assume that team members cannot be trusted. Trust can mean not able to execute tasks alone or believing that employees will use knowledge about leaders against them. Dave describes what can happen when you work from an assumption of trust.
15:13 Part 3: The Employee Value
In organizations that have frequent workforce reductions, benefit cutbacks, or removal of employee perks, you’ll likely find leaders who act as if team members are less important than revenue, profits, operational expenses, and leaders. Again, Dave discusses what it is like when employees as more important.

Finally, Mary advises us on what we can do in our roles to lead more effectively.
00:00 Prologue
If you are going to lead a support function like HR effectively, you need you and your team to focus on results, think systemically, add value, and build meaningful partnerships with the departments that you support. In her Chief HR Officer role, Mary does this.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 44, Bob Mosher’s storytelling helps us deliver the truth to executives, hiring smart professionals, and encourages us to remove barriers that limit capabilities.
00:00 Prologue
From public school teaching to consulting with McDonald’s, Bank of America, Herman Miller, Hitachi, Disney University, and Progressive Insurance (to name only a few), Bob has helped executives rethink how they develop talent and provided a countless number of training solutions. Not only does Bob help clients, but he also gives back to the talent-development profession through his stewardship.
01:40 Part 1: Delivering the Truth
As professionals advance to a senior role in an organization, they become more removed from customer-facing interactions. They often rely on other employees to understand what is happening within the organization. Bob shares a story about an executive who makes it safe to deliver messages, even when messages aren’t positive.
07:41 Part 2: Accepting Honest Feedback
During a business meeting in Europe, Bob describes how a subordinate expressed a controversial opinion and what didn’t happen afterward.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 31, Matt Crump shares a story about how a U.S. Army soldier influenced him to radically change his life – without ever asking him to change. Matt also talks about how he was affected when someone believed in him. Matt then advises us to FLIP, which is an acronym of four guiding principles.
00:00 Prologue
Matt is an extraordinary professional who lives a full life! In the links below, I highly recommend watching his video, “I choose life, not cancer!” Not only has Matt served in the U.S. Army, owned a record store, and served as a Christian pastor, he is an author, Founder & CEO of MCM Inc, a podcast host, owner of S&W Design Studios, and owner of Sandhills Music Center. He is a business coach and consultant who helps executives, entrepreneurs, and individuals to align their beliefs and actions.
01:15 Part 1: The Influence that Led Matt to a Mountaintop
We can influence in lifechanging ways. Matt shares a story about how a brother U.S. Army soldier influenced him to give up alcohol and drugs but without trying to change Matt.
06:55 Part 2: When Someone Believes in You, Your Perspective Changes
Because of his battle with stage four cancer, Matt gave up his music store and being a full-time pastor. Matt shares how a publishing house and one of their writers believed in him and his story about cancer.
15:45 Part 3: If You FLIP, You Become More than a Role
Too often, we link our identity to our business role. With most of our time dedicated to a role, I can understand why a role becomes your purpose. Matt challenges us to FLIP, which is an acronym that can lead you to overcome life obstacles and change how you perceive your work and your roles.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 39, Elaine Jacques explains one of her guiding principles, shares a story that inspired her to perform at her best, and advises us to ask questions that could build trust.
00:00 Prologue: Evidence-based Practice
Elaine is a Leadership Presence and Leadership Development Coach who has multiple certifications. I think that explaining that Elaine is a lifelong learner would be an understatement. Much of her training and knowledge is founded on evidence-based research in neuroscience, appreciative inquiry, and positive psychology (to name only three of her research areas).
01:41 Part 1: Taking Credit Is Insufficient
Taking credit for what you do well isn’t enough. Elaine explains what a professor said that has become one of Elaine’s guiding principles.

In Episode 38, Ajay Pangarkar explains the principle, give up control, by discussing three leadership beliefs.

00:00 Prologue: With International Leadership Experience
Ajay does more than consults with organizations about employee performance strategies and balanced scorecards. He teaches talent development courses through LinkedIn and for his clients, and he has co-authored three books.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 24, Sherrie Niedermeier illustrates the formidable effect that leadership has through her stories. She discusses the importance of friendship, caring for others, and maintaining congruency between thoughts and actions.
00:00 Prologue: Leading with Care
Sherrie is the Chief Learning Design Officer at Human Capital Institute (HCI).

Sherrie tells a story about a boss at a previous organization. The boss complained to Sherrie that she was too close to her direct reports.
12:57 Part 2: To be a Fear Factor or to Care

On Wednesday episodes, I share leadership beliefs and unlabel terminology. I invite guests to share their expertise about small or big acts of leadership.
In Episode 23, Simma Lieberman, my expert on DE&I, helps me decipher Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
00:00 Prologue: Discovered through Social Media
I discovered Simma through her blogs on Multibriefs, which lead me to her podcast about diversity. Simma, a.k.a. The Inclusionist, is an award-winning professional who consults, coaches, and offers powerful keynotes. If you plan to meet 50 people this year, ensure that Simma is one of them.
01:28 Part 1: Debunking the Need for Similar People
What makes diversity in organizations diverse? Simma answers this question.
07:24 Part 2: You Need More than Equal Access
Equality doesn’t mean that there is equity. Both terms are worth unlabeling, and Simma does just that!
13:44 Part 3: Accessing Their Brilliance
If you have diversity, do you have inclusion? What does it mean to have an inclusive culture and organization? Simma helps me demystify inclusion by answering these questions.
21:50 Part 4: Take Diversity to Lunch
Whether a manager or a team member, Simma offers practical ways for us to enable teams and organizations to diversify and become more inclusive.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 22, Lisa Wicker shares two of her guiding principles. In a story, Lisa describes how she connected with and championed a difficult employee. Also, she advises us to think critically about why we would want to enter and advance in management.
00:14 Prologue: Standing on the Shoulders of Mentors and Guides
From working for an automotive foundry to becoming the Chief Executive Officer of Career Mastered and publisher of Career Mastered Magazine, Lisa has mentored, lead, and even cheered for the people in her life. Of all the people I know, Lisa illuminates what empowering women means. Her hard work in celebrating women publicly, providing networking events, and developing girls and women has opened opportunities for women to flourish professionally.
01:26 Part 1: Showing Respect for Who You Are
New managers who rely on authority and trying to control their situation and others hurt their ability to lead. Lisa shares two of her guiding principles that make a difference in how she leads.
11:05 Part 2: Why Do You Care?
When someone starts at a new company, employees already have made assumptions about who you are and what to expect from you. Mostly unconscious, these assumptions are not based on the new employee’s personality but come from job typecasts (to name one source). Lisa illustrates how to overcome role typecasting.
18:58 Part 3: Why Do You Want a Promotion?
Lisa challenges us to critically think about why we would want to change careers and shift to a managerial role.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 19, Kevin McNulty talks about the importance of attending to culture. Through his stories, we gain some insight into what it means to practice leadership in a way that strengthens cultural growth. Also, Kevin advises us on how we can more effectively lead by the way we treat those around us.

When I worked at Ceridian, Kevin did more than report to me: He informally coached me (believe me, I needed it!). As part of his role as the CEO of NetWeave Social Networking, Kevin trains and coaches small businesses to manage their social-media presence. presents to several chambers of commerce members as part of his stewardship. What else? Kevin served in the Army. Thank you, Kevin, for your service!
01:09 Part 1: What’s for Breakfast?
Kevin reminds us that we need to attend and influence the cultures within our organizations. Organizations have multiple cultures: team cultures, department cultures, cross-functional cultures, career-level cultures, and a few others. By the way, Kevin has a nice shout-out to David Marquet about communicating intent.
08:01 Part 2: What Managers Should Do and Not Do

On Wednesday episodes, I share leadership beliefs and unlabel terminology. I invite guests to share their expertise about small or big acts of leadership.
In Episode 17, Matt Donovan talks about how we can rethink conflict. He envisions how we can transform leadership similarly to how we have shifted to being customer-centric or learner-centric. He cautions us to find a balance between checking-in virtually and doing the work.
00:00 Prologue: The Future Looks Bright!
Matt’s GP Strategies title is fitting: Chief Learning & Innovation Officer. Whether because of his role or just because of who he is, Matt is thinking decades ahead into the future about talent development. Since I’ve known Matt, I’ve seen him astound listeners with stories of how organizations are transforming how their workforce learns. I also know Matt as a mentor for emerging professionals. Like most guests, his stewardship is extraordinary!
01:32 Part 1: A Lesson from Martial Arts
Practicing martial arts requires physical and mental discipline. Like leadership, each martial art has underlying principles. While you can learn a martial art without understanding the principles, you won’t become proficient. Matt explains a lesson he learned from his father about applying Aikido to engaging conflicting viewpoints.
07:17 Part 2: How should Leadership Shift?
To rise from good to great in product development, you need to shift from product-centric to customer-centric. In the talent-development field, the equivalent shift is from topic-centric (or content-centric) to learner-centric. With leadership, Matt believes we need to make a similar shift.
16:35 Part 3: Virtual Collaboration Overload
Matt talks about interacting and working with people virtually. When meeting, we need to figure out the balance between checking in with people and doing the work with them. Matt introduces us to Rob Cross’ concept, Collaboration Overload.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives.
In Episode 16, Phyllis Millikan explains how our attitude can change how we interrupt intent and how we perceive our current situations. She discusses when self-reflection is needed to evaluate your role in an organization. Phyllis offers advice about checking in with others, giving your team space to lead, and filling your bucket.
00:00 Prologue: It Is Not about You but about the Talent Around You
One of the first things I noticed about Phyllis is that she is happy. Sure, she has life challenges, yet her attitude is positive, uplifting, and contagious. From an Arthur Andersen consultant to a SurePeople Executive Vice President, Phyllis’s career continues to evolve. What hasn’t changed is her commitment to mentor and champion the people around her.
02:03 Part 1: Reducing Attribution Errors through Positive Intent
When events aren’t going well and the causes are unclear, we become uncomfortable. Our brains work hard to reduce uncertainty by speculating the intentions of others. Phyllis reminds us that we can control how we make assumptions by believing in good intent.
11:57 Part 2: Career Reflections
Leadership involves influencing the environment so others can flourish. Unfortunately, your ability to affect change can become limited, and considering other opportunities to lead may become necessary.
21:56 Part 3: Finding Openings to Shine
Phyllis advises us to strengthen self-awareness, empowering your team, and balancing between meeting to just work and checking in.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 15, Marise Kumar discusses insights about the leadership at the c-suite and senior executive level. In her stories, she explains a Montessori value, her experience leading at Whirlpool and Lowe’s, and counsels us to connect and believe in the people we serve.
00:00 Prologue: From Product Development to Customer Experience
When I think of customer experience, Marise comes to mind. Through C2B Strategies, a business that she founded, Marise helps global and local organizations, for-profit and nonprofit, create customer-centric business plans by strengthening their value proposition, customer experience, omnichannel marketing, and product development.
01:12 Part 1: Montessori and the Leadership Category
Leadership isn’t considered only at the executive and managerial levels. Anyone can practice leadership from the perspective of your role and relationship within a group. Marise tells a story about discovering how a Montessori school values leadership.
05:58 Part 2: Unreasonable Confidence
With two examples, Marise illustrates how to behave at the c-suite level to achieve substantial change.
25:42 Part 3: From Believing to the Extraordinary
Marise explains how the leadership principles of connecting with others and believing in others are crucial, especially when you are at the c-suite or executive levels.

In Episode 14, Jack Bucalo, a leadership development expert, continues to discuss what makes a leadership development program useful for meeting the needs of CEOs and line executives. Jack describes specific hard and soft skills that contribute to attendees’ performance. He then explains action plans.
00:00 Prologue: Recap of Episode 011
In Episode 011, Jack clarified that the CEOs and line executives are the ultimate customers of leadership training. Many executives believe that leadership training repeatedly fails due to the lack of practical business value in helping them run the business. Jack highlighted two highly reputable studies that indicated that middle to upper management leadership training should be more about job-related hard skills than soft skills but instructed together in the appropriate mix and within the practical context of real-world business objectives.
01:18 Part 1: Hard and Soft Skills
Jack illustrates what hard and soft skills to use to develop mid-level and upper-level management with two examples.
09:58 Part 2: Action Plans
For leadership training to be effective, attendees need to apply what they learn. Jack talks about having the broad parameters of an action plan as a takeaway from the training experience.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 13, Guy Wallace encourages us to think about our mission, establishes some firm boundaries to instill inclusiveness, and prefaces what we communicate with declarations.
00:00 Prologue: Preserving Legacies through Video Stewardship
While Guy has consulted with several clients about performance improvement, most of his consulting has been performance-based instruction. More substantial, Guy has contributed towards curating knowledge about instructional systems design, performance-based instructional analysis, and curriculum architecture design. He has published 135 videos of performance improvement practitioners, researchers, and professors. You can access the recording on the HPT Treasures website (Human Performance Technology).
00:00 Part 1: The Revelation at the Fantail Watch
The mission, purpose, or your why (if you prefer) influences how we behave. Guy relates a story that occurred during his service in the Navy.
00:00 Part 2: Inclusiveness Boundaries
For inclusiveness to flourish, we need clear boundaries. Crossing the boundaries can invite toxic behaviors, which could trigger disruption within a team, group, or organization. Before diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) became popular, Guy overtly promoted these concepts.
00:00 Part 3: Clarify with Declarations
We all could improve how we communicate. As we mature how we build relationships, learning communication techniques help. Guy shares such a technique called declarations.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 12, Tim Brock exemplifies the words of William Penn, turns a school around, reveals a surprising consequence, and encourages us to build a reputation of trustworthiness.
00:00 Prologue: Career of Stewardship
Throughout his career, Tim has helped others develop professionally. From the Air Force to serving in faculty roles, Tim has passionately instructed students to develop their leadership and expertise. Also, he managed a $40 million Titan II intercontinental ballistic missile launch facility (thank you, Tim, for your service). You can read more about Tim’s career on his LinkedIn profile (link below).
00:00 Part 1: What Every Wing Commander Should Strive to Achieve
Tim exemplifies the principle, Believe in Others. At seventeen, Tim applied a William Penn quotation to practice leadership with his four squad leaders.
00:00 Part 2: Change Your Environment to Enable Others to be at their Best
Tim tells the story of his first job as a civilian after his military service. As a principal of a private high school, Tim inspired creativity, collaboration, and accountability. While you can imagine the results, Tim shares an unexpected twist.
00:00 Part 3: Relationships, Reputation of Competence, and Trustworthiness
Practicing leadership is not only a way to help others mature their mental and moral qualities but also a way to strengthen your own character continuously.

On Wednesday episodes, I share leadership beliefs and unlabel terminology. I invite guests to share their expertise about small or big acts of leadership.
In Episode 11, I invited Jack Bucalo, a leadership development expert, who characterizes traditional leadership development programs and describes their limitations. He explains what these programs need that’s different from the traditional approach.
00:00 Prologue: Evidence-based Leadership Development
Jack Bucalo has authored more than fifty detailed and actionable articles about HR and leadership development. When Jack was the Corporate Senior VP of Human Resources and Chief HR Officer for Fiserv, he partnered with the Chief Executive Officer and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee to develop the first Fiserv executive development leadership center.
02:12 Part 1: Skills Addressed in Traditional Leadership Development
Jack explains that traditional leadership development programs are about training management about soft skills, including leadership styles, behaviors, and interpersonal skills. Yet, CEOs and line executives fail to mitigate leadership performance gaps.
06:37 Part 2: Why Have Traditional Leadership Development Programs Failed?
Leadership development programs need a mix of hard and soft skills. Jack shares some reputable research studies that described specific skills that should be included in leadership development.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode Ten, Dave Best talks about ways to connect with one another, what it means to encourage growth, and urges us to practice being genuine.
00:18 Prologue: Givers Put Others First
I’ve known Dave for about ten years. We met at Lowe’s. Since then, Dave has worked at Wal-Mart and now is a senior manager at The Home Depot. To learn more about Dave, you can view his LinkedIn profile (link below).
01:26 Part 1: Connect with Others
Core to leadership is how we interact with people at different levels. Dave shares a story about Mike Abrashoff, a leadership author, that illustrates the challenge of connecting with others.
06:43 Part 2: Encourage Growth
Leadership is not about you, but it is about other people. Practicing leadership is about helping others develop their mental and moral qualities, capabilities, and behaviors. In other words, leading people involves building character.
21:08 Part 3: The Real Deal
One of the themes of these episodes is being genuine. Dave discusses what this means and how crucial being genuine is when leading.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode Nine, Tanae Wolfman describes how she leads without authority, how she collaborates to build trust, and what she does to keep herself grounded in her guiding principles.
00:21 Prologue: Stewardship through Small Acts
I tend to think about stewardship as big acts. Tanae’s stories teach me to reconsider the practice of stewardship. The word means to take care of something, such as a group or property. I tend to think of it as the act of giving back to strengthen a profession. Tanae does this through multiple small acts at the individual level.
01:55 Part 1: Don’t Hesitate and Learning Outside Your Comfort Zone
Tanae explains how a Human Resource director’s advice to not hesitate encouraged her to act in unfamiliar ways. Doing so meant accepting a level of discomfort that enabled her to learn and develop professionally. To develop substantially, we need to step outside our comfort zones.
08:44 Part 2: Creating Opportunities for Others to Lead
Improving how people work together should be a shared responsibility. Tanae describes how she created opportunities for anyone to voice how teams and cross-functional groups evolve.
13:45 Part 3: How Will You Show Up Today?
At the beginning and end of the day, Tanae reveals the technique that enables her to reflect and revisit her guiding principles.

In Episode Eight, Ronald Graves, a certified coach, distinguishes the meaning of coaching from the popular notion and from other roles. He explains how professionals can leverage coaching to strengthen in their current positions. Also, Ronald describes his Five Levels of Listening.
00:23 Prologue: Disclaimer: He’s my Coach and Friend
Ronald has more than 35 years of business consulting experience, in which he served in leadership roles for 20 years. He is well versed in organizational performance improvement and leadership, and he is a certified coach. For the past year, Ronald has coached me as I work to refuel my entrepreneurial spirit!
01:32 Part 1: Coaching Does Not Pour Information into You
Depending on the situation, managers function as teachers, trainers, consultants, leaders, or mentors. The commonality of these roles is the act of giving information.
05:41 Part 2: Inside->Out Rather than Outside->In
Your potential is internal, and coaching helps you discover your potential. Coaching is a partnership with you as the focal point.
21:11 Part 3: Asking Questions and Listening at Five Levels
Except for one type, coaching is about asking questions and listening. Ronald describes five levels of listening.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode 7, Felix Nater reveals how one superior influenced him in practicing lifelong stewardship. He scrutinizes the misuse of authority and encourages us to work continuously on our congruency.
00:00 Prologue: The Threat Assessment / Kindness Paradox
Felix Nater has consulted hundreds of organizations about preventing workplace violence. He served in the Army and later in the U.S. Postal Services as a Postal Inspector. Felix has completed hundreds of threat assessments. He has investigated mail theft, burglary, armed robbery, and even violent crimes. More notable, though, is Felix’s kindness towards others.
02:10 Part 1: Fostering Stewardship
I’m unclear what can trigger people to shift from focusing on themselves to stewarding others. Maybe some make the transition after an accomplished career, but that isn’t always the case. Felix explains what someone said to move towards stewardship.
09:15 Part 2: Scrutiny Reduces Capability
When some people meet with a team, teammates immediately begin generating ideas. I know a few managers who can change their environment to bring out the best from their direct reports. Felix’s story, however, is not about such people.
17:03 Part 3: Congruency Strengthens Character
We tend to behave differently when interacting with different people. How we talk to our boss, friends, family members, children, customers, and even people we dislike can vary. Felix challenges our behavior variability as a way to build our character.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode Six, Peter Popovich challenges how we consider our capacity to affect our circumstances. He characterizes what giving up control means, and he recommends that we begin incorporating a simple but powerful habit into our daily lives.
If you ask Peter what he does, he might tell you that he’s an executive coach, consultant, franchise owner, and entrepreneur. However, the best way to describe Peter is a lifelong learner.
00:21 Prologue: Learning and Staying Curious
Through each career shift, Peter’s continuously leverages his ability to learn. Peter has multiple career experiences. He has been a sales representative, marketer, manager, professor, engineer, athletic Foundation director, and realtor. Peter is a tennis champion and a senior games gold medalist in three sports. You can read more about his career by accessing Peter’s website in the link below.
01:38 Part 1: Who will write to me?
In our youth, we tend to believe our results are caused by forces outside of us and out of our control. Peter hints at this belief when revealing a conversation between him and his sister.
11:52 Part 2: One of the Oldest Managerial Mistakes
Whether a new supervisor of a team or an executive managing a business, those in charge want to take charge. Being effective at taking charge may be what led us to such roles and may feel instinctive. Peter talks about a Chief Executive Officer whose powerful problem solving drags the company’s productivity.
22:56 Part 3: The Mirror Enables Consideration and Serious Thought
Peter tasks us to build and strengthen a specific habit until we leverage it throughout our day.

On Wednesday episodes, I share leadership beliefs and unlabel terminology.
In Episode Five, I discuss the first of seven leadership principles, Believing in Others (or, believe in others). I explain how a concept can appear simple but isn’t. I describe a baseball analogy to illustrate how managers can behave as if they seem to not follow the principle. Finally, I talk about how learning relates to the principle.
00:00 Prologue: It’s about Principles
Rather than focusing on leadership qualities or values, I prefer talking about leadership principles. After analyzing 16 leadership books, I identified seven principles. The focus of the show is on the first one, believing in others.
04:49 Part 1: So, Why Did You Hire Me?
Hiring managers search for job candidates who are the most qualified and have the right credentials and experiences. An assumption that hired candidates make is that the manager chose them because of their capability to execute their job tasks. Unfortunately, too many managers behave as if they don’t believe in the new employee’s abilities. Instead, they prefer to tell employees what to do and think for them.
09:15 Part 2: Play Ball!
I use a baseball analogy to illustrate how managers tend to take more control of how we perform tasks than necessary. If a player is competent, a manager might ask the player to hit the ball without dictating anything more than a few broad guidelines.
13:46 Part 3: People Can Learn
While believing that people can learn seems obvious, some managers don’t treat their employees as if they can learn. Because of something called neuroplasticity, scientists discovered that people continue learning well into old age. Again, this might seem obvious, but managers might unconsciously act as if they don’t believe this.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode Four, Judith Hale talks about how her parents’ words and actions contributed to developing guiding principles.
Judy consults with organizations across all industries. Much of her current work focuses on assessment for qualifying people. Judy earned her Ph.D. from Purdue University and has various certifications. You can find her full bio on her website at the link below.
00:06 Prologue: Behind the Curtain
When you meet Judy Hale for the first time, you might underestimate who she is and what she has to offer. Anyone involved in performance consulting, international standards, a corporate training function, or school administration should get to know Judy. I might be so bold to suggest that when you look up stewardship in a dictionary, the definition should include Judy Hale.
02:33 Part 1: Innovation is the New Currency
Companies need a brown suit in the room. Why? Judy’s father explained to her how the brown suit at a company symbolized the openness to divergency.
04:54 Part 2: Is it Lip Service or Genuine Commitment?
Like her mom, when Judy observes discrepancies between what is said and what is done, she speaks up. Doing so is part of Judy’s character. A word of caution: there’s an art to calling out incongruent behaviors while not antagonizing.
12:13 Part 3: Raising Our Awareness about Opportunities
Opportunities are around us, but we mostly don’t see them. It’s like walking down a long corridor full of doors that are locked, unlocked, cracked open, or fully open. Yet, we don’t see them until something happens in your life. Judy has advice for finding opportunities.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. In Episode Three, Ajay Pangarkar models what happens when you lead by example, empathize with the people you work with, and focus more on listening than talking.
Ajay does more than consults with organizations about employee performance strategies and balanced scorecards. He teaches talent development courses through LinkedIn and for his clients, and he has co-authored three books. Not to be outdone, his expertise includes business and accounting, and he is on the faculty at the Sprott School of Business. You can find his biography in the episode links below.
00:17 Prologue: Stewardship in Two Fields
I know several professionals who transitioned from operations to human resources or learning & development. Ajay is the only professional I know who practices stewardship in two fields. He’s the only person I know that teaches about the foundations of corporate training while teaching a course about accounting!
02:45 Part 1: Mentoring Is Bidirectional
Mentoring others can trigger your own learning and growth. Ajay explains something a mentee said that affected his beliefs about how crucial continuous development is.
07:43 Part 2: Unaware of Our Acts of Leadership
While we often plan what they do to lead, we aren’t fully aware of how our words can lead others. Similar to being skilled at driving, we lead automatically and unaware of the nuances. Ajay describes how we can be surprised when people talk about how we helped and influence them.
17:13 Part 3: Rethinking Our Conversations
Ajay would like us to reflect on how we communicate. His advice can improve our ability to learn from our dialogues with teammates, colleagues, direct reports, and even family and friends.

On Wednesday episodes, I share leadership beliefs and unlabel terminology. For Episode Two, I break down the management and leadership concepts.
00:06 Prologue: What Experts Get Wrong about Management and Leadership
When I searched for videos about how management and leadership differ, I found several experts who don’t get these concepts.
02:33 Part 1: What is management?
I define and discuss the types of management. Then, I share a definition by Mary Parker Follet. I conclude by making the case that there is no similarity or overlap in meaning between management and leadership.
04:54 Part 2: What is leadership?
I admit it: I messed up. Starting Part 2, I say I’m going to explain how traditional and contemporary leadership differ, but I don’t talk about traditional leadership. I should have said that traditional leadership is like management with several assumptions that tend to be harmful. In other episodes, I’ll talk about these assumptions.
In this part, I explain what leadership is. I share a story about two cashiers to distinguish the difference between process and practice (the difference is relevant and worth knowing, especially if you ever create process maps). I end by sharing how L. David Marquet explains what leadership is.
12:13 Part 3: The critics
There is no standard or agreed-upon definition of leadership, and I have some notable critics. I explain and respond to some of their arguments.

I invite guests to share personal stories about acts of leadership that help shape their lives. Andy Hibel helps me launch the first episode by explaining his personal growth perspective, recognizing opportunities to lead, and how leadership is practiced.
00:45 Prologue:
Andy encouraged me to start the podcast, and I think it’s appropriate that he is part of the first show. We met at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign before shifting his career from being a planned giving officer to an entrepreneur. Andy co-founded HigherEdJobs.com and is the company’s Chief Operating Officer. While he lives and works in the Chicago area and I work near Charlotte, I consider Andy a close friend.
02:17 Part 1: Choosing Your Attitude about Development
Whether grown organically or shaped deliberately, we all have a set of attitudes about personal and professional development. Andy shares something that helped shape his attitude about personal change.
09:26 Part 2: Opportunity to Lead
Leading mostly happens in small acts, but occasionally, we find substantial opportunities to lead. Andy tells a story about taking donors to the Holocaust Museum
19:17 Part 3: Leading with Action
Andy discusses his perspective of what’s considered to be leadership. Leading with our words is a leadership element, but speaking alone is insufficient, or at least, isn’t the most common part of leadership.

Welcome to Episode 0, my first attempt at creating a podcast episode. In it, I describe why I'm doing the show and the two show formats. A transcript is available.
00:16 Prologue: Eugene Power and Finding a Nitch
I begin by sharing the story of how Eugene Power founded the company, University Microfilms (now called ProQuest). I link the story to why I'm podcasting about leadership.
05:46 Part 1: Why Unlabeled Leadership
I define Unlabeled Leadership and explain the show's intent (hint: improve how we lead).
08:47 Part 2: What to Expect
For the remainder of the episode, I explain how the Tuesday/Thursday guest format and the Wednesday format differ.
