Podcast 005: Daniel Coyle
New York Times bestselling author, Daniel Coyle spent the past four years researching the cultures at eight of the world’s most successful organizations — including the U.S. Navy’s Seal Team Six, global design firm IDEO and the five-time NBA champions San Antonio Spurs. And he came away with the remarkable discovery that leaders of all these exceptional teams share three uncommon leadership practices.
They build safety, share vulnerability and establish purpose.
Yes, these are the three qualities that fully distinguish the organizations that invented the first Apple mouse, caught Osama Bin Laden, and have won a higher percentage of their games over that past 20 years than any team in professional sports.
Listen in to this highly animated discussion as Daniel digs into his new book, The Culture Code (a book Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, Susan Cain, and Daniel Pink selected as one their top nonfiction in 2018), and provides a clear understanding of what truly separates outlier workplaces from all the mediocre ones.
It’s untraditional and truly inspired thinking that produces world-class performance.

Podcast 004: Garry Ridge
For the past 20 years, Garry Ridge has been CEO of the WD-40 Company, and he’s built one of the most inspiring workplace cultures on the planet.
INC. Magazine named him one of the Top-10 CEOs across the globe (leadership legends Jim Kouzes and Ken Blanchard both say he’s #1 in the US), & it’s largely because his company consistently achieves its growth & profit targets while concurrently sustaining an extraordinary employee experience.
Garry Ridge is the full embodiment of the Lead From The Heart philosophy. He intentionally supports his tribe of workers by focusing on their well-being, satisfaction & growth — while also holding people accountable for their performance. The result is a team of people who love coming to work, have a deep sense of meaning in what they do, and have helped WD-40’s stock price soar.
Already one of our most popular podcast episodes, listen in as Garry and Mark discuss the leadership practices that make the WD-40 Company such a well-oiled machine.

Podcast 003: Tom Peters
Legendary leadership author, Tom Peters could easily be reclining on a New England beach these days. But he’s by no means the retiring type. Instead, he just published his 17th book, “The Excellence Dividend,” and continues to challenge workplace leaders to reinvent how they lead and manage.
Three decades ago, Peters wrote the classic book, “In Search Of Excellence,” which many people have called the greatest business book of all time. His cornerstone message at the time: “Put People First.”
All these years later, Peters (as you’ll soon hear) remains as passionate as ever about spreading this tradition-breaking idea. And he says he’s not quitting until workplace leaders stop talking about leadership change and take real action.
Listen in to what Mark has called the single greatest discussion he’s ever had in his life. Peters brings to this podcast great energy, great articulation and a leadership vision every manager on the planet would be wise to embrace.
A must!
