Who we are as people has as much to do with how we are as leaders as any other facet of our experience. The story we tell ourselves and others contributes to how we both serve and set direction. Fluent in the nuances of these talents is Peter Lynch, who joins Brian Comerford and Nick Lozano to discuss the importance of sharpening focus, failing skillfully, and finding strength in our own ugly advantage.

Is it possible to tame time? The Lead.exe crew dives headlong into this  conversation with special guest, Theresa Harp. An entrepreneur, coach,  speech pathologist, and host of The Time Tamers podcast, Theresa is a  pro at getting sh*t done - and wants to help you become one too. Our  conversation delves into the feelings and emotions behind time  management, the importance of communication, and just might settle the  Lead.exe efficiency vs effectiveness debate once and for all (season 3  episode 10)!

**This is a rerun of episode 27 originally released DEC 15, 2019 **

In this episode Brian Comerford and Nick Lozano are joined by special guest Roxanne Kaufman Eliot to discuss a breadth of topics contributing to the character of leadership. Key to the theme is the distinction between leadership and management - a discussion robustly supplemented with a number of supporting themes, importantly self-awareness and self-development.

The not-so-new...ab...normal...normal? Since COVID-19 first  rocked the world more than two years ago, leaders and the businesses  they work in have gone through all sorts of changes. First there was the  two week flatten the curve hiccup, then the longer-haul new normal,  then a newer normal, then the new abnormal - and so on. Some writers  have even compared the changes of the past few years to going through  all the psychological stages of grief. One thing is certain, none of  this is quite normal at all. Which naturally raises the question: Does  leadership need to change with the times, or is it a constant on which  all other changes can stand? In this latest episode, Brian, Nick, and  Jon talk about what's changed for leaders, and what hasn't, over the  past two years.

Going the opposite direction of human nature should be easy, right? Not if you're human, unfortunately.

As it turns out, it's oftentimes a greater advantage for us to do so if we are to make level-headed choices rather than succumbing to the heat of the moment. How we properly identify those moments is a key facet for effective leadership to guide through chaotic wrinkles of adversity, when the stakes are highest - like in a global pandemic disaster scenario. In this episode, Dr. Gleb Tsipursky joins co-hosts Brian Comerford and Nick Lozano in conversation to walk us through some of the techniques to gain the self awareness necessary for a good gut-check, and to acquire the ability to reprogram your own mind or your own reactions to achieve optimal results.

Are you building leaders, followers, or disciples? Is there a right or wrong time to perform any of these roles? Where is Brian? (just kidding, you can take that out).  In this episode Jon and Nick  explore leadership versus discipleship and, in typical Lead.exe fashion,  all sorts of grey areas between. Starting with a dictionary definition  of discipleship, the hosts also draw on personal experiences, infamous  stories of ethical failures, and as always, a few good books to try to  draw out some practical advice for leaders in this increasingly complex  world.
