Eternal Vigilance Against False Safety -

In this podcast episode, I share an unpopular notion that safety may not be our friend and that, perhaps, it's not something that leaders should over-emphasize. In many ways, over-emphasized safety leads to the very things we sought to avoid. Let’s chat about it.

The Danger of Unqualified Leadership Advice

The Danger of Unqualified Leadership Advice

In this podcast episode, we talk about misconceptions surrounding leadership education and development and the importance of seeking guidance from qualified professionals in the field of leaderology. There is a flawed perception that practical experience alone qualifies someone to train and develop others in leadership. Leadership is a distinct science with interdisciplinary expertise. Moreover, we’ll discuss the significant impact that unqualified leadership can have on organizations, individuals, and communities. Let’s chat about it.

Knowledge vs. Experience: Exposing Dangerous Misconceptions

Knowledge vs. Experience: Exposing Dangerous Misconceptions

In this episode, we’ll delve into the ongoing debate between knowledge and experience. Recent trends on social media have seen a preference for experience over knowledge, implying that it’s okay to reject education in favor of practical experience. Bad idea! Even experienced football players have to study the plays. Allow me to demonstrate some potential pitfalls of relying solely on experience without a solid foundation of knowledge. And then, let me emphasize the importance of continuous learning for maximizing potential and success in leadership and life.

Crisis Leadership: Necessary and Underappreciated -

Crisis Leadership: Necessary and Underappreciated -

In this episode of Leaders Last, we challenge the conventional wisdom that emotional intelligence is the single most important leadership skill, and we explore crisis leadership as an example to demonstrate this point. Crisis leadership involves strategic decision-making, effective communication, and adaptability to respond swiftly to unexpected challenges. The value of individuals with strong problem-anticipation skills, even though they may be seen as negative or pessimistic, are essential. When trained and placed in the right roles, these individuals can serve as protectors and invaluable crisis leaders for any organization. I encourage leaders to prioritize effective and vision-oriented approaches over-idealized notions and to develop a culture of open communication and collaboration. Organizations can gain a competitive advantage by adopting crisis leadership principles, enhancing risk management, and improving overall performance. Anticipating and resolving problems before they occur can lead to successful crisis management and a resilient organizational culture. Let’s chat about it!

In this episode, we delve into three distinct red flags that often emerge during the hiring process. These red flags include an organization's failure to disclose a salary range, an organization's inquiry about a candidate's salary expectations, and an organization's interest in knowing the candidate's previous or current salaries. Do these red flags indicate potential issues with the organizational culture? Should candidates consider avoiding such organizations? Join me as we explore these thought-provoking questions!
