Are you thriving or just surviving?

They explore the psychological traps of modern stress responses, protective systems, and the impact of flattening our identities.

Bringing Values to Life at Work with Laura Hamill

What makes culture so powerful, and why do so many organizations get it wrong? Kevin sits down with organizational psychologist Laura Hamill to discuss the disconnect between the practice of culture and the science of culture. Laura defines culture not just as what’s visible on the surface, but as the underlying "collective set of reasons why" behaviors occur in organizations. She explains why leaders must bridge the gap between aspirational values and actual workplace experiences and introduces the concept of cultural betrayal. The discussion also covers the difference between culture and climate, the role of middle managers in operationalizing values, and how behaviors and norms shape what is truly valued in the workplace.

Patience Can Be More Than Waiting - Thoughts from Kevin

Kevin Eikenberry challenges the traditional notion of patience as merely waiting. Instead, he introduces the concept of proactive patience — a dynamic and intentional approach that involves movement, reflection, and growth even during periods of waiting. Kevin highlights the balance between slowing down without becoming passive and maintaining forward momentum without forcing outcomes. He emphasizes the importance of having a clear vision, trusting the process, and maintaining a long-term orientation, especially in uncertain times. This mindset shift helps leaders continue progressing toward their goals even when immediate results aren't visible. Key Takeaways Patience isn't passive: True patience involves intentional action, not just idle waiting. Proactive patience: Strike a balance between pausing and continuing to work toward your vision. Keep your goals in sight: Maintain focus on your long-term objectives even during pauses. Reflect and act: Use moments of waiting for thoughtful reflection that leads to deliberate action. Trust the process: Growth often includes plateaus and setbacks — stay committed to the journey. Think long-term: See waiting as a temporary moment within a larger path of progress. Flexible Leadership: Kevin ties these ideas to his new book, encouraging a mindset of "both/and" rather than "either/or."

Cultivating Autonomy, Authority and Leadership in Every Role with Judith Katz and Fred Miller

Are you empowering others or unleashing agency? In this episode, Judith Katz and Fred Miller join Kevin to discuss the role of agency in the workplace. While autonomy and authority are often topics of discussion, agency — the ability for all individuals, regardless of their role or tenure, to possess power, influence, and a voice — is crucial for high-performance organizations. They explain how organizational cultures often "smother" this natural agency through excessive rules, approvals, and "checkers checking checkers," which leads to the slow implementation of even the best strategies. Judith and Fred highlight that organizations need to transition from control-based leadership to trust-based leadership.

How to Thrive in a Distracted World with Jones Loflin

Are you focused or merely busy? Jones Loflin sits down with Kevin to reveal the secret of focus, inspired by honeybees. Jones introduces six essential "permissions" that individuals must grant themselves and emphasizes their particular importance for leaders, who not only need to practice these permissions personally but also guide their team members to recognize and adopt them. These permissions include: The Permission to Prioritize – Bees prioritize maintaining the hive before making honey. How can we identify our most critical goals? The Permission to Plan – Similar to how bees prepare for changing conditions, how can we proactively set ourselves up for success? The Permission to Be Unavailable – Constant accessibility can hinder productivity. How can leaders create an environment conducive to deep work? The Permission to Recharge – Bees rest more than they work. What lessons can we draw from this behavior? The Permission to Change – Often, we stick to habits that are no longer beneficial. How can we embrace necessary changes? The Permission to Be Consistent – Although change is crucial, success frequently arises from disciplined, repeated actions.

3 Types of Workplaces - Remote, Hybrid, or In-Office? | The Evolving Workplace

In this special edition of The Evolving Workplace series, Wayne Turmel explores the three dominant work models that have emerged in the post-pandemic world: fully remote, fully in-office, and hybrid work. While the debate continues over which model is best, Wayne takes an objective look at the pros, cons, and realities of each approach. From cost savings and productivity in remote-first organizations to the structure and collaboration of in-office setups—and the often messy compromise of hybrid work—this episode dives deep into what works, what doesn’t, and how leaders can make the best decisions for their teams. Key Takeaways: Remote-First Work: Allows for talent-first hiring without geographical constraints. Increases flexibility and engagement for self-motivated employees. Challenges: branding, measuring productivity, and maintaining team culture. In-Office Work: Facilitates faster communication and relationship-building. Provides structured onboarding and training. Challenges: high costs, limited hiring pool, and less flexibility. Hybrid Work: Offers flexibility employees want while maintaining some in-person collaboration. Challenges: scheduling complexities, proximity bias, and workspace inefficiencies. Wayne also discusses the impact of leadership experience, employee expectations, and how different industries must tailor their approach to work models. 🔹 "Hybrid work isn’t a strategy—it’s often a hostage negotiation." 🔹 Resources & Links: 📘 Learn more about leadership in remote and hybrid teams at KevinEikenberry.com. 🎙 Catch up on Long-Distance Worklife episodes at LongDistanceWorklife.com. 📌 Chapters & Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: The Workplace is Evolving 01:13 – How We Got Here: A Brief History of Remote Work 02:12 – The Three Work Models: Remote, Hybrid, & In-Office 03:46 – Deep Dive: Remote-First Work (Pros & Cons) 08:53 – Challenges of Remote Work: Disengagement, Branding & Leadership Struggles 10:18 – Why Some Companies Are Forcing Return to Office 12:41 – In-Office Work: Benefits of Physical Presence & Structure 15:10 – Hybrid Work: Flexibility or Just a Compromise? 18:14 – The Real Problems with Hybrid Work 20:38 – How Leaders Can Navigate the Future of Work 21:46 – Final Thoughts & What’s Next in Workplace Tech

Enabling Empowerment with Chris Seifert

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.

The Skills-Powered Organization with Ravin Jesuthasan

Imagine a workplace where your skills – not your job title – 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.

How Personally Do I Take Things? - Thoughts from Kevin

Welcome to another episode of the Remarkable Leadership Podcast! In this episode, Kevin Eikenberry poses a thought-provoking question: "How personally do I take things?" Join Kevin as he delves into the effects of taking things personally and shares practical strategies to help you handle such situations more effectively. Whether you're a leader or simply looking to improve your communication skills, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice. Key Points Discussed: Reflecting on Personal Reactions: Kevin begins by asking listeners to ponder their own experiences with taking things personally and the impact it has on conversations and relationships. The Consequences of Defensiveness: How defensiveness can derail communication and lead to misunderstandings. Strategies to Manage Personal Reactions: Assume Positive Intent: Start by believing that others have good intentions, even if it’s hard to see. Assume Benign Intent: If positive intent is too difficult, consider that their actions may not be about you at all. Focus on Your Response: Sometimes it's best to not worry about their intent and concentrate on how you respond. Take a Deep Breath: A simple deep breath can help you stay calm and avoid a defensive reaction. Remove Yourself Temporarily: When necessary, step away from the situation to cool down and revisit the conversation later. Ask Clarifying Questions: Stay curious and ask questions to understand the other person's perspective better. Focus on Learning: Shift your focus to what you can learn from the feedback, even if you don’t agree with it. Final Thoughts: Kevin emphasizes that while these strategies can be challenging, they are ultimately helpful in improving communication and relationships. Subscribe and Learn More: If you found this episode helpful, consider subscribing to Kevin's email newsletter, "Your Remarkable Day."

How to Lead and Delegate More Effectively with Dave Kerpen

How well do you delegate? Do you struggle to hand things off? Can you hand over tasks, but watch your team with an eagle eye? Neither of those will build organizational success. Kevin sits down with Dave Kerpen to explore the art of delegation, discussing why many leaders struggle with it and how to do it more effectively. Dave shares the five C's of effective delegation: 1. Choose Carefully: Select the right person or team for the task based on skill and fit, not just proximity or convenience. 2. Communicate Clearly: Clearly outline the expected outcome, allowing the individual to determine the best path to achieve it. Include the 'why' to provide context and purpose. 3. Coach and Cheer: Act more as a coach than a manager, offering support and guidance rather than micromanaging. 4. Check in Regularly: Establish a routine for check-ins to provide feedback and make course corrections as needed without overwhelming the delegate with constant updates. 5. Congratulate: Celebrate successes and provide constructive feedback to encourage improvement and acknowledge good work.

The Friction Project with Bob Sutton

Is it better to prioritize making tasks quick and easy, or should you consider making them slower and more difficult? Bob Sutton suggests smart leaders can make the right things easier and the wrong things harder. Sutton joins Kevin to discuss the challenges faced by organizations as they grow, emphasizing the importance of recognizing both good and bad friction within teams and processes. He highlights the need to balance speed and thoroughness in decision-making, using examples like Google's hiring process evolution and the impact of inefficient workflows on employee morale and productivity. He also touches on leadership approaches like "management walking out of the room" to foster collaboration and decision-making and common traps organizations fall into, such as "addition sickness," where the default solution to problems is adding complexity instead of subtracting unnecessary elements. Meet Robert Robert's Story: Robert I. Sutton is the co-author of The Friction Project How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder with Huggy Rao. He is an organizational psychologist and professor of Management Science and Engineering in the Stanford Engineering School. He has given keynote speeches to more than 200 groups in 20 countries and served on numerous scholarly editorial boards. Sutton’s work has been featured in the New York Times, BusinessWeek, The Atlantic, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, and Washington Post. He is a frequent guest on various television and radio programs, and has written seven books and two edited volumes, including the bestsellers The No Asshole Rule; Good Boss, Bad Boss; and Scaling Up Excellence. https://www.bobsutton.net/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobsutton1/ This Episode is brought to you by...

Wiring the Winning Organization with Gene Kim

How can leaders wire their organizations to win? Gene Kim explains that work consists of three layers - the objects we work on, the tools we use, and the social connections between people. Successful leaders focus on this third "social circuitry" layer to integrate functions, remove barriers, create independence between teams, amplify weak signals of failure, and practice "slowification" - strategically slowing down to speed up long-term results. He also introduces two other principles - "simplification" and "amplification." Simplification involves breaking down complex problems into manageable parts, while amplification focuses on creating a management system that ensures even the weakest signals of failure are detected and addressed early. Meet Gene Gene's Story: Gene Kim is the co-author of several influential books, including The Unicorn Project, The Phoenix Project, and The DevOps Handbook. His latest book is Wiring the Winning Organization. Gene was the founder and CTO of Tripwire, Inc for 13 years, an enterprise security software company. In 2014, he launched DevOps Enterprise Summit, an annual event that has attracted over 10,000 technology leaders to date. He has spoken at over 100 companies and conferences, including Apple, Target, IBM, Nike, Principal Financial, lululemon, and Microsoft. His books have sold over 1 million copies. https://itrevolution.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/realgenekim/   Book Recommendations Wiring the Winning Organization: Liberating Our Collective Greatness through Slowification, Simplification, and Amplification by Gene Kim and Steven J.

How Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others with Stephen MR Covey

You have probably heard of the “command and control” style of leadership. Stephen M.R. Covey joins Kevin to discuss the alternative – “trust and inspire”. Stephen says we underestimate the importance of trust by at least a factor of 10 if not 100 and highlights the high cost of low trust. Covey outlines five mindset shifts that form a more accurate and complete leadership paradigm (people have greatness in them, people are whole people, there is enough for everyone, leadership is stewardship, and influence is created from the inside out). He also touches on the evolving nature of work and the multitude of choices available to individuals.

Stephen brings to his writings the perspective of a practitioner, as he is the former President & CEO of the Covey Leadership Center, where he increased shareholder value by 67 times and grew the company to become the largest leadership development firm in the world. A Harvard MBA, Stephen co-founded and currently leads FranklinCovey’s Global Speed of Trust Practice.

How to Pay Attention in a Distracted World with Christian Madsbjerg

A lot is going on out there. How can we pay better attention in a distracted world? Christian Madsbjerg joins Kevin to discuss the importance of observation and attention in leadership. Madsbjerg explains that observation is the practice of carefully and empirically studying humans to understand their experiences and behaviors. He emphasizes the need for leaders to set aside their opinions and preconceived notions to just describe what they see. Madsbjerg also introduces the concept of hyper-reflection, which involves observing how others observe and think. He encourages leaders to make time for observation and reflection, as these practices can lead to a deeper understanding of customers, teams, and social dynamics. Meet Christian Name: Christian Madsbjerg His Story: Christian Madsbjerg is the author of several books, including Look: How to Pay Attention in a Distracted World, Sensemaking: The Power of the Humanities in the Age of the Algorithm, and The Moment of Clarity (co-authored with Mikkel Rasmussen), which have been translated into 15 languages. He is also an entrepreneur and academic who focuses on the practical and commercial application of the Human Sciences. He is the co-founder of the global consulting firm Red Associates. He also held the Professor of Applied Humanities position at The New School in New York City, where he centered his teaching on 20th-century continental philosophy.

The Five Languages of Appreciation with Paul White

One hundred years of research tells us that a bump in salary does not impact employee engagement. In fact, MIT recently published findings showing that how appreciated employees feel has three times more influence on their decision to stay or leave a job than compensation. Not only does this reduce the cost of turnover, but companies that pay attention to their human capital outperform others. Dr. Paul White joins Kevin to discuss the 5 Languages of Appreciation in the workplace. These include Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Tangible Gifts, and Physical Touch. The implementation of appreciation isn't a top-down process. It starts with education, creating a shared language among team members, and then grows naturally. It's about connecting people and recognizing them for who they are, not just their work.

Think Faster, Talk Smarter with Matt Abrahams

Do you panic, just a bit, when you realize you need to give feedback on the spot, engage in small talk at a networking event, or answer questions after a presentation?

Overcoming Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt with Brendan Keegan

Fear, uncertainty, and doubts (FUD). We have all experienced these to some extent; we are only human. Brendan P. Keegan joins Kevin to discuss how these impact behavior and leadership. He tells us that humans are born fearless, but external factors and experiences lead to the development of fears over time.

Work-life balance. Employee engagement. Bring your best, most authentic selves to work. Dan Pontefract believes these are myths. He joins Kevin to redefine the relationship between work and life.

Leading with Questions with Bob Tiede

A good leader isn’t afraid of questions. Bob Tiede joins Kevin to discuss the art of questioning, this includes the importance of asking open-ended questions, not putting people in a corner, giving them the time to respond, and the opportunity to say yes. He believes that leaders often hesitate to ask questions because they feel the need to project an image of having all the answers. However, he emphasizes that asking questions not only helps leaders gain valuable insights but also empowers their team members to contribute their ideas and perspectives. Key Takeaways: Leaders often hesitate to ask questions because they feel the need to have all the answers. Asking open-ended questions can lead to more meaningful conversations and better insights. Good questions give information, but better questions lead to deeper understanding. The art of questioning involves asking the question and then giving the person time to answer. Creating a question culture involves practices like question storming and asking for multiple perspectives. Listen For... 00:00:00 Introduction to the podcast and guest, Bob Tiede 00:09:39 What keeps leaders from asking questions 00:11:32 Giving answers denies space for others to contribute. 00:13:06 Leaders who project having all the answers come across as unsure. 00:13:47 Asking questions as a leader is more important now. 00:22:09 The art of questioning includes giving people time to answer. 00:25:18 The mindset of a learner is important when questioning. 00:27:32 Creating a question culture through question storming. 00:28:53 Culture and generating questions to solve issues. 00:29:25 Bob's favorite question: "What do you think?" 00:30:04 The power of asking "What else?" multiple times. 00:37:34 Conclusion and invitation to join next week's episode.

The Art of Active Listening with Heather Younger

Listening is important for our interactions and our ongoing relationships. Heather R. Younger joins Kevin to talk about active listening, which is more than nodding your head and repeating what someone says. Active listening uses your senses to recognize what is unsaid. Active listening is about engaging with the other person, showing interest, and understanding their emotional state. Active listening is about taking the time to research, reflect, and analyze the feedback or request received. Active listening is acting, even if the action is a compromise or a no. Lastly, active listening is consistently closing the loop to show that their voice is valued and their feedback matters.

Never Say Whatever with Richard Moran

WHATEVER. When we use this word to answer a question, we aren't deciding or, we are passing the buck. Richard Moran believes that when we use the word Whatever we may feel helpless or lack control, and we surrender. Often, we have more control than we think. So, when we make decisions, both the big and the small ones that seem insignificant, we need to be intentional. The action we take follows the intent. Key Points Richard Moran shares his research on trends about the word Whatever and how it relates to decision-making.  He discusses how Whatever can impact leadership by creating a culture of indifference. Meet Richard Name: Richard Moran His Story: Richard Moran is the author of Never Say Whatever: How Small Decisions Make a Big Difference.

His body of work includes 10 books about using commonsense in business. He is the host of the CBS syndicated radio program, “In the Workplace.” Rich has appeared on CNN, NPR, and most major media outlets. This episode is brought to you by... Remarkable Masterclasses.

Reflections on Practical Leadership with Dr. John A. White

Good leadership is essential to success, matters, and is not about you. Dr. John A. White has experienced this firsthand through 6 decades of leading and learning. He stresses that a leader should not focus on their success, instead they should put their team first and create an environment of listen, learn, love, then lead. This approach is not only beneficial for the leader, but also the team and the organization. Key Points Dr. John A. White shares stories that led him to write the book and the lessons he learned along the way.  He discusses the difference between being a leader and being a manager.  He gives practical advice to leading today. Meet John Name: Dr. John A. White  His Story: Dr. John A. White is the author of Why it Matters: Reflections on Practical Leadership. The North Central Association of Colleges and Universities called the decade of the White’s leadership of the University of Arkansas transformational, noting significant improvements occurred in all dimensions of the university. During his 6-year service as Georgia Tech's engineering dean, the college advanced from being ranked 11th to being ranked 3rd by U.S. News & World Report. Worth Mentioning: After stepping down as chancellor of the University of Arkansas, Dr. White was encouraged by faculty colleagues to offer a course on leadership. Though he'd been an engineering educator for forty-five years by then and had never taught a course that wasn't based on equations, he was intrigued by the idea of sharing his leadership journey with students. For the following nine years, Dr. White taught Leadership Practices and Principles to seniors and graduate students from every discipline, introducing them to fifteen guest leaders over each semester and holding in-depth, frank, and often emotional conversations about the challenges, joys, heartbreaks, and diversity of approaches to successful leadership.

Getting Along: How to Work with Anyone with Amy Gallo

Do you work with any difficult people? Research indicates when we deal with difficult people, our creativity, productivity, and engagement suffer.

Hack Your Bureaucracy with Nick Sinai

How often do you feel stifled by all the red tape? Do you ever think you could get more done if your organization wasn’t so bureaucratic? Nick Sinai tells Kevin that bureaucracy is just organizations with rules and procedures. It does not have a positive or negative connotation. However, when we take the time to understand them, we can continue to improve them. Further, you don’t need to be an executive to get things done. When people take change on themselves, they build the momentum for change. Nick shares some bureaucratic hacks to get unstuck.

Leaders Who Fiction with Melanie Bell

When we think about leadership development, we probably think about workshops, podcasts, white papers, and business books. We understand the importance of learning to benefit ourselves and our organizations. Unfortunately, after putting in a full day (or more) of work, we find we don’t have the energy to read novels. Melanie Bell joins Kevin to talk about how reading fiction can also help with our leadership development. Studies have indicated that different parts of our brains are activated when we read fiction vs. nonfiction. Further, business books break down the problem to the principle. In fiction, the characters are complicated so, we don’t just jump to conclusions. The stakes are lower, so we can take a breath and think about the situation. Key Points Melanie discusses why fiction can be powerful for leaders. She shares how to translate fiction to leadership.  She provides advice on choosing a fictional book to read for leadership lessons. Meet Melanie Name: Melanie Bell  Her Story: Melanie founded Leaders Who Fiction while operating her marketing strategy and technology consulting firm.

How the Future Works with Brian Elliott

Work is changing; it always has. However, March of 2020 brought accelerated change. The question we need to ask is what is work changing to, and how can we adapt? Brian Elliott joins Kevin to share findings of the change in work from research with his colleagues at the Future Forum and global case studies from leading companies such as Levi Strauss & Co., Genentech, Royal Bank of Canada, and IBM. For example, 74% of executives want to come back to the office three days a week or more. Only 23% of employees want the same thing. In addition, 63% of executives are planning for the future without input from their team. As leaders, we need to gain another perspective and ask if we can be successful going back to what we did before. Key Points Brian Elliott discusses the struggle of work.  He explains what digital-first means.  He shares two steps necessary to building the new principles needed to enable flexible, high-performing teams including a Culture of Connection and Experimentation.

Get Promoted with Michael Wenderoth

Are you frustrated because your hard work isn’t noticed? Are you looking to move up and don’t know how? Michael Wenderoth joins Kevin to discuss the mindsets we need to change to not only promote ourselves but also our teams. For example, politics aren’t bad; they are just a mechanism by which decisions are made. Power is not a bad word. We need to understand power and learn how to harness its energy. When we reject the idea of power, we are immediately at a disadvantage. We need to leverage power to accelerate our impact. Key Points   Michael Wenderoth discusses the mindset shifts we need to think about including political, authenticity, and power.    He shares the sources of power, political skills, networking, control of resources, executive presence and communication, and visibility and brand. Meet Michael Name: Michael  Wenderoth   His Story: Michael Wenderoth is the author of Get Promoted: What You’re Really Missing at Work That’s Holding You Back and an Executive Coach that has helped thousands of aspiring leaders ethically leverage power and politics to breakthrough – and ascend.

Creating Lifelong Customers with Jason Young

New customers are great, and to keep them we need to nurture the relationship and build trust. Jason Young tells Kevin that most decisions are based on emotion. So, to continue the relationship, it’s important to understand how the guest feels. This is true for both external customers and our teams. It’s easy to give a job title or description. It is more difficult to build the culture you want, so you need to be intentional and work together. Key Points Jason Young describes a guest and the connection to hospitality.  He discusses the importance of moving beyond demographics and looking at psychographics.  He shares a few practices that create lifelong customers, including knowing the guest, focusing on feeling as much as function, and focusing on the culture, not the job.

How Stewardship Changes our Leadership Success with David York

When we want to make a lasting impact and move beyond “What’s in it for me?” to “What’s in it for we?” we live the life of a steward. David York shares with Kevin that a steward is someone who invests in something bigger than themselves. They know their purpose and create lives with meaning and direction. Even better, when we focus on others, we take the pressure off ourselves. We move away from if-then statements to because-therefore statements, and everyone wins.

How Leaders can Connect with People and Reduce Isolation with Ryan Jenkins and Steven Van Cohen

Who Decides if You are Micromanaging? - Thoughts from Kevin

  Micromanagement. Leaders tell me all the time that they’re not doing it, but if I talk to their teams, I often hear something different. And here’s the thing, the other person decides if you’re micromanaging. It’s wonderful to think if you’re not. But the reality is, if the other person, the person you’re leading or managing thinks you are, then you are. Because micromanagement is relative, right? What feels like micromanagement when we’re brand new in a job is quite different than what it might feel like when we’ve been doing a job for a long time. Because what we even need as the employee is quite different. You could be working with two different people, leading them in exactly the same way. One of them thinks you’re doing great. The other thinks you’re micromanaging because micromanagement is relative. Micromanagement is also personal. We have different experiences in our past, different sort of buttons that can get pushed by our boss. And so we have to be clear about what does it look like to the other person. If we want to avoid this problem right now, this doesn’t mean that we might not need to provide guidance. Does it mean we don’t need to provide coaching? Does it mean that sometimes people are messing up and we need to give them more input? It doesn’t mean any of that stuff because all of that might even be welcome. But micromanagement is something else. So how do we overcome it? Well, there’s lots of things we can do to overcome micromanagement. Talk with each team member. Set clearer expectations for the work and your interactions with others. The main thing I want you to remember from this short video is this, that even if you don’t think you’re micromanaging, you might be because the other person decides. Tweet it out: You may think you aren’t micromanaging, but others decide whether you are or not. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Learn more about our Remarkable Master Class, Overcoming Micromanagement.

Conflict isn't Bad, Until it is - Thoughts from Kevin

If I asked you what your first thought is when I say the word “conflict”, chances are it wouldn’t be positive. And while there is certainly a downside to conflict, the truth is conflict isn’t always bad. In fact, there are many times when conflict can be a good thing. And in this episode, I’ll explain exactly this. Tweet it out: Conflict isn’t bad until it is. Conflict that allows us to explore perspectives and learn is useful. Conflict that becomes personal isn’t. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Subscribe to the Remarkable Leadership Podcast.

The Five L’s of Empathy - Thoughts from Kevin

Empathy is something we all look for in other people. We would love for people to have more empathy for us. And when we’re willing to and take the time to be empathetic with others, we gain almost as much as they do. I’m speaking about empathy in general, but I’m also speaking about it specifically as a leader. Because now more than ever, as a leader, being more empathetic is one of the great ways for us to be more effective as a leader. And so while there is lots written and stated (much by me even!), today I’m not going to talk about skill as much as the practice of being empathetic. And specifically the five L’s that you can use to help you create a practice of empathy.

Making Room for Conversation - Thoughts from Kevin

In this episode, we’re talking about making room for conversation and I’m using a cup metaphor to illustrate some important points. As humans, we all have a mental and emotional cup. And like a cup of tea or a cup of coffee, if it’s completely full, there is no room for anything else. Literally. This cup metaphor applies to communication and conversation as well. If you are attempting to converse with someone and their cup is full, there’s not room for a new conversation with you. You’ve probably been in conversations where this is the case. And if you have, you find that you’re talking to someone who isn’t very engaged. So when this happens, the only way to engage and create real dialogue is by helping the other person make room for the conversation.  In this episode: Learn more about and sign up to receive Kevin’s Daily Email here.

The Source of Wisdom - Thoughts from Kevin

For centuries, people have wanted to find the fountain of youth. People traveled for months on ships to try to find this mythical fountain of youth, because we’d all like to be younger, right? What about wisdom? I think we’d all like to be wise, and the good news is we can find the source of wisdom without a long trip and it’s not mythical. The idea for this episode came from my pastor, Aaron Brockett, at the Trader’s Point Christian Church. But this isn’t really a religious idea at all. You see, we all want (more) wisdom regardless of our beliefs. But the question is, where does it come from? In this episode, we’ll explore some possible sources of wisdom to determine what the true source is. In this episode: Learn more about and sign up to receive Kevin’s Daily Email here.

Creating Deep Purpose with Ranjay Gulati

Having a purpose is not the same as a purpose statement. Purpose is an ideal. It is the reason you choose to exist. Professionally, it is why you go to work. Is it a job(money)? Is it a career (get ahead)? Is it a calling (gives you meaning)? Ranjay Gulati joins Kevin to discuss deep purpose at work. He believes it is the foundation for the organization and defines the work experience, including culture. When your organization believes in something, you move your team from not just satisfied or engaged to inspired. An inspired team does the work because they want to. Key Points In this episode, Ranjay shares how purpose differs from mission, vision, and values.  He discusses practical realism.  He talks about the organizational benefit of deep purpose. Meet Ranjay Name: Ranjay Gulati  His Story: Ranjay Gulati is the author of several books, including his newest Deep Purpose, the Heart and Soul of High-Performance Companies. He is the Paul R. Lawrence MBA Class of 1942 Professor and the former Unit Head of the Organizational Behavior Unit at Harvard Business School. Worth Mentioning: Professor Gulati studies how “resilient” organizations—those that prosper both in good times and bad—drive growth and profitability. His work bridges strategy (establishing clear strategic pillars for growth), organizational design (reimagining purposeful and collaborative organizational systems), and leadership (fostering inspired, courageous, and caring execution).

What We Can Learn About Giving Better Instructions from Monopoly - Thoughts from Kevin

In this episode of Remarkable TV, I’m sharing tips for giving better instructions. And to do that, we’re using the game of Monopoly to help us. So Monopoly. Chances are, if you’ve played Monopoly, you either love it or you hate it. And if you’ve played it, you know that there are a lot of rules in the game. About seven pages of rules to be exact. Have you ever taught someone how to play? Now if we go through all of these rules before we start playing, it will not likely go so well. They will zone out, miss half of them or forget most of them by the time they get to a scenario that uses each rule. However, when you start with the end in mind, you will be more successful…

Reframing Change - Thoughts from Kevin

Change is hard. It doesn’t usually come naturally. And at the end of the day, when we change we have made a choice. And as leaders, when we are trying to lead change at work, we are asking our team to be “all in” – to make a choice to change. Unfortunately, most change leadership communication is about the change itself. This is important of course, but we’re missing three key components when we’re communicating about change. Check out the video below to see what you might be missing in your change leadership. In this episode: Subscribe to the Future of Work Newsletter.

How to Stop Complacency and Improve Performance with Len Herstein

Are you successful? Do you know that success can lead to complacency? Complacency can decrease productivity, create mistakes, and impact the bottom line – it costs money. Len Herstein sits down with Kevin to discuss the dangers of complacency and why vigilance enables us to remain successful. Self-awareness is a start.

Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket - Thoughts from Kevin

Now, you might already know that I grew up on a farm, and so I have plenty of farm phrases in my vernacular. Some of these phrases wouldn’t make any sense to you. But some of those farm phrases are things you’ve either heard before or maybe even heard here on this blog last week. You can watch that episode right here. So last week we talked about making hay, and today we’re talking about gathering eggs, and specifically about not putting all your eggs in one basket. Now, I don’t have nearly as much personal experience with eggs as I do with making hay. But think about it for a second. If you’ve got a basket that you’re using to collect eggs and as you’re putting them in one cracks. Well then, you have a problem. Even worse, if you drop the bucket, you lose all the eggs. So what’s the point for us as leaders? Well, there are several things for us to think about here. And I’m starting the video with one of my favorite thoughts in business: One is a dangerous number. Tweet it out: One can be a dangerous number. Look for multiple options, multiple solutions, and multiple paths to your success. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Learn more about, listen and subscribe to the Remarkable Leadership podcast here.

Making Hay and Making Progress - Thoughts from Kevin

I grew up on a farm, and so I have plenty of agricultural phrases in my vernacular, but actually all of us have some of those phrases. For example: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Yep, that’s a farm phrase. And hint, I’m going to talk about it next week. But for now we’re talking about this phrase: Make hay when the sun is shining. Now, you may have never made hay. You may not know what that means but you’ve probably heard the phrase. Here’s the backstory. Hay is made from growing crop (grass, alfalfa and clover most frequently), and it is cut when it’s very green and very moist, a growing plant. However it must be dry before it can be bailed up to be used and stored. So you can cut hay when it’s raining, but you can’t make hay and bale it when it’s raining. The sun’s got to be shining. The crops need to be dry. There’s a limited time window. Make hay when the sun is shining. So here’s the point for us as leaders. Tweet it out: To make hay when the sun shines means to do the work you need to do, when you need to do it. And you don’t have to be a farmer to understand that. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Learn more about, listen and subscribe to the Remarkable Leadership podcast here.

three cultures you must consider

Organizational culture has been an important topic for a number of years, but right now, as I’m recording this video at the beginning of 2022, culture has never been a bigger focus. Organizations around the globe are trying to figure out what the future of their workplace will look like. And rightfully so, they’re concerned about their culture. And many leaders are trying to figure out how they can get the culture they used to have back. Now let me just say, trying to get back to the culture you used to have pre-pandemic will not be possible. The world has changed significantly as have we and our people. Whether we like it or not, culture is always changing. It’s never static. So as you think about your organizational culture and what that will look like for you, I’d like to share three cultures that you should consider in this process. Tweet it out: To create the culture you want, you must consider the culture of your past and present as the starting point. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Learn more about, listen and subscribe to the Remarkable Leadership podcast here.

How to Look at Milestones - Thoughts from Kevin

If you’ve ever been driving in the United States on an interstate, every so often, you’ll see a sign that has a number on it, a mile marker. You’re probably familiar with those. They didn’t originate in the U.S. and in modern times, but rather during Roman times. Marking progress on the journey with milestones makes sense, right? Well, today we use milestones much more often in things like project management to help us plan out our projects and see how we’re doing against plan. That’s how we typically think about milestones, but I think that there are really five ways that we can look at milestones and five ways that milestones can help us. Milestones are a planning tool. Milestones are goals. Milestones drive momentum. Milestones create perspective. Milestones are a chance to celebrate. In this episode, we’ll dive deeper into these five ways that milestones can help you be a better leader and a better human. Tweet it out: Milestones are more than a planning tool. Use the crossing of milestones as a way to create perspective, drive momentum and provide a chance to celebrate. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Learn more about Kevin’s Daily Email and subscribe here.

Why You Should Set Goals Collaboratively - Thoughts from Kevin

Most of us have plenty of goals that we set in our lives – health, financial, personal. And today we’re talking about team goals or organizational goals. But before we get to that, I want you to think about it as a team member, as an individual contributor. Have you ever had someone hand you a goal? And if that’s ever happened to you, how did that feel? Did you feel much ownership of it? Did you feel like you really wanted to achieve it? How successful were you in achieving it? When I worked in corporate America, I can remember goals being handed to me and I had more questions than answers. You see, for us as leaders, it’s often easier to simply hand a goal to our team. But when we set goals collaboratively, we can get a lot of other great benefits. In this episode, I’m sharing why you should set goals collaboratively with your team. Tweet it out: Accountability isn’t a dirty word – though some act like it is. Being accountable is simply taking ownership and responsibility. When we talk about it all the time – and not just when things go badly – people won’t think accountable is a dirty word after all. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Subscribe to the Remarkable Leadership Podcast.

A Personal Look at the Great Resignation - Thoughts from Kevin

“The great resignation.” It’s a hot topic right now and it’s mostly been discussed as as a macroeconomic concept. What is it doing to organizations? What’s causing it? What can organizations do about it? In this episode of Remarkable TV, I want to talk about “the great resignation” as a microeconomic concept, really more as a personal concept. And I’m starting with the question: why did people resign? I’m going to give you a simple and nonpolitical answer. People resigned and the great resignation started simply because people weren’t finding what they wanted from their work or career. And while I don’t know your situation, it’s highly likely that if you haven’t joined “the great resignation”, there’s a chance you’re either thinking of it or will be in the future – either for yourself personally or as to how it will affect your organization and your team. And I’m starting with three important questions for you to think about: 1. What do I love about my work? 2. Where can I find more of that? 3. what are my priorities related to life and work? As I said above, these questions are important whether you’re thinking of “the great resignation” personally or organizationally. Check out this episode. Tweet it out: The Great Resignation matters to everyone — even if you love your job and don’t plan to resign. Time spent thinking about what you want from your work will always be valuable and never go out of style. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Subscribe to the Future of Work Newsletter.

The Case for Mental Fitness - Thoughts from Kevin

How we think about mental health and mental illness has changed a lot in my lifetime societally. More and more awareness of mental illness is emerging, and while this is really good, unfortunately, there’s actually more mental illness than ever. People are willing to talk about it, but there’s all sorts of factors like anxiety and loneliness and other factors that are causing the amount of mental illness to grow or the level of mental illness across society to grow. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I’m talking about a related topic: mental fitness.

A Lesson from Atticus Finch - Thoughts from Kevin

Atticus Finch, Atticus Finch, you might immediately know who I mean and you might be thinking, I should know that name, shouldn’t I? Well, Atticus Finch is the protagonist in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. If you haven’t read it, you’ve probably seen the movie. If you haven’t done either, you should go watch it or go read it now. But there’s a line in the book, and I believe in the movie as well, where Atticus Finch says you never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view. You never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view. How often do you do that? I mean, how often do you step back from your own perspective and look at it from someone else’s perspective? This is a very powerful lesson for us to consider. And in this episode here, I’m sharing two different ways to help broaden your perspective.

The Longest Four-Letter Word - Thoughts from Kevin

This is the last and fourth in a series of episodes about four-letter words. But don’t worry – this and all the other episodes carry a G rating. You can watch the other episodes here. As the title of this post says, I am talking about the longest four-letter word. So technically, it’s not a four-letter word. But since this series is about “dirty” words, and we often think of dirty words as four-letter words, we are including it in this series. The longest four-letter word is accountable. And I’m considering it a four-letter word here because most of the time when we hear it, it’s associated with things going wrong. And as a leader, it’s up to us to change this bad association/assumption and help empower our team instead. But this won’t happen overnight. We’ve heard this word used negatively for a long time and if we’re going to change its connotation, we must change the way we use it. You must not only use it when things are going badly, you must not only use it with the word “hold” in front of it. Not I’m going to hold you accountable, but rather I’m going to help you be accountable. I’m going to help you take ownership. I’m going to help you be empowered. Changing it and using it carefully. Changing it and using it differently. Tweet it out: Accountability isn’t a dirty word – though some act like it is. Being accountable is simply taking ownership and responsibility. When we talk about it all the time – and not just when things go badly – people won’t think accountable is a dirty word after all. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Subscribe to the Remarkable Leadership Podcast.

A Four-Letter Word to Be Careful With - Thoughts from Kevin

In this episode, we’re talking about a four letter word, a four letter word to be careful with. And that word is lazy. Lazy is a word of judgment. It’s something that we see inside of their behavior. It’s something that we infer about their intentions. Like just because someone’s laying on their couch right now, does that necessarily mean they’re lazy? I don’t know. All I know is there’s a difference between judging and observing, and the word lazy is typically used as a word of judgment. So we use it on others. And then once we’ve labeled them as lazy, it changes our perspective about them and we use it on ourselves. Now, I used to say to myself, if I didn’t get up, when I’d plan to that I’m lazy. Now I try to remember to say not that I’m lazy but that I didn’t get up when I planned to. Those are two different things. They have two different inferences about myself. And so here’s my point. The word lazy is a label that rarely serves us, whether we’re thinking about ourselves or whether we’re thinking about someone else. Because the fact is, we’ve all been lazy. But no one is always lazy. Lazy is a choice or maybe a habit, but it’s not a character trait. Tweet it out: Be careful with using the word ‘lazy’ – because it places judgment that could be incorrect and is seldom helpful for anyone. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Subscribe to the Future of Work Newsletter.

Are You a Victim or a Victor? - Thoughts from Kevin

Are you a victim or a victor? Perhaps we need to start out by defining these terms first. A victim (for the purposes of this episode) is when someone feels hopeless or incapable of changing the outcome of their situation. A victor (again for the purposes of this episode) is when you feel as though you have influence and can change the outcome. Sometimes it’s easier to distinguish between the two when it’s someone else you’re asking the question about… Tweet it out: We can choose to be a victor in the moment or a victim of our circumstances.

Are You a Helicopter Boss? - Thoughts from Kevin

You’ve heard of helicopter parents, right? These well-intentioned parents tend to hover over their children (like a helicopter) and typically take too much responsibility for their children’s experiences and lives. They of course do this out of love, to protect their children. Have you ever had a helicopter boss? Again, likely out of good intentions, but their behavior probably felt more like they were overly involved in your job and responsibilities. And I can probably guess that you did not enjoy working for a helicopter boss… So in today’s episode, I have three questions to ask yourself to help determine if YOU’RE a helicopter boss and to help you watch your behavior so that you are leading your team as effectively and as successfully as you can. Tweet it out: Being a great leader means being available, not hovering. Supporting not coddling. Allowing to grow, not micromanaging.

Why “Hybrid” is the Right Word Right Now - Thoughts from Kevin

Several years ago, we started using the words “hybrid teams” to describe a team where there are some people working in a physical office and there are some people who work virtually outside of the office.

You Have More Influence Than You Think with Vanessa Bohns

As a leader, we want to have a positive and important effect on our team. Through her research, Vanessa Bohns has found we often feel ineffective, or inadequate, or believe we said the wrong words. She joins Kevin to discuss why we don’t always recognize the influence we have and how that can lead to lost opportunities or misuse of power. Key Points Vanessa discusses what we can learn from a “stain on our shirt”.

The Power of Persistence - Thoughts from Kevin

Persistence is good and virtuous. But it’s also hard. And telling someone to be persistent seldom goes all that well. We may know it, but don’t want to hear it – or even know what to do with the advice when we hear it. Many years ago when I was at Purdue, I was having a conversation with a friend who was in the process of interviewing for jobs after college. She was getting frustrated and when I gave her the advice to simply be persistent, I was met with the response referenced here above. She wasn’t thrilled. So then I added a simple word to my advice of persistence. And that two word phrase is something I still use today in my own life and in coaching others. Check out the video below to learn more about the power of persistence. Tweet it out: Persistence is useful, but patient persistence moves mountains. When times are hard focus on patient persistence. @KevinEikenberry In this episode: Browse our archives of Remarkable TV and then sign up to receive an email each week when we release a new episode.

Leading at a Distance with Jim Citrin and Darleen DeRosa

It wasn’t planned, and over the past 18 months, many of us became remote leaders and workers. Darleen DeRosa and Jim Citrin are the authors of Leading at a Distance: Practical Lessons for Virtual Success. They sit down with Kevin to discuss leadership skills that have become more important as we work remotely. They asked leaders what their biggest challenge was in this environment and the majority said it is inspiring and motivating their teams. Purpose and authenticity have been increasingly important leadership capabilities over time, but they are now more central and expected than ever. We need to be more deliberate and thoughtful with our teams and find opportunities to build trust through a screen. In this episode, Darleen and Jim share: How leaders can build trust.

How Can You Achieve Greater Influence? - Thoughts from Kevin

I get asked this question a lot: How can I be more influential? And often times when I am asked this, it isn’t phrased exactly like that. It might sound more like… How can I motivate my team to do more? How can I better inspire my team? There are a lot of ways that it is stated, but the bottom line is that they are asking: how do I influence people? And I bring this up specifically because the way that the question is often phrased is part of the problem. As leaders, if we want to have greater influence, we must focus on people and not position. Check out this episode to learn more about how YOU can be more influential.

Beyond Collaboration Overload with Rob Cross

Is more better? Maybe, if we are talking about ice cream.

How to Communicate Effectively with Anyone, Anywhere with Raúl Sánchez and Dan Bullock

While enjoying a late-night snack, Raúl Sánchez and Dan Bullock came to the realization everyone sees the same pattern in the stars. Other places and cultures may label it differently, yet they see the same alignment. They wanted to look at patterns in communication. As organizations become more global, communication becomes that much more important. This holds for public speaking, writing e-mails, or negotiating contracts. Sánchez and Bullock are the authors of How to Communicate Effectively with Anyone, Anywhere. They discuss what is implied in conversation/writing and who is responsible for the messaging. In the end, it isn’t about us. As leaders, we are more effective if we use positive language and present the information for more than one sense (ethos, pathos, logos).

Driven Not Drained with Christopher Coultas

It is important to understand what drives you to get out of bed in the morning.

Solving the Culture Puzzle with Mario Moussa and Derek Newberry

What is the culture of your organization? It’s a fair question and can be puzzling. We attribute an unengaged workforce or misalignment of values to the culture. Yet, we seem to fall short of building the culture we want. Mario Moussa and Derek Newberry are the authors of The Culture Puzzle: Harnessing the Forces That Drive Your Organization’s Success. They share with Kevin that, too often, we think of culture as an afterthought. We share our vision, build the team, and then create the culture. However, culture happens when you put the people together. Culture is about the stories. Culture is dynamic and fluid and can change overnight (just think back to March 2020). They share the four forces that drive culture: vision, interest, habit, and innovation. They also recognize that anyone can influence culture. In this episode, Mario and Derek discuss Anthropology and organizational culture. Misconceptions about culture. 4 forces that drive culture. Thoughts about culture in a post pandemic world. This episode is brought to you by… From Manager to Remarkable Leader, Kevin’s Flagship workshop based on his proven leadership model.

What To Do While You Wait - Thoughts from Kevin

I’m willing to bet that every day, we spend some amount of time waiting. Waiting on hold. Waiting on our food order. Waiting for our kids to get off the bus. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

Tweet it out: Don’t while away all your waiting time on your phone.
