What many organization leaders fail to understand is that you can’t simply transplant a competitor’s talent strategy and achieve the same results—just as you can’t take plants suited to a warm climate and expect them to thrive in chillier locales. The conditions are too different. But a company that takes the time to examine its own environment, select talent accordingly, and nurture its people will stand tall, regardless of economic conditions. 

Roberta Chinsky Matuson is the CEO of Matuson Consulting, a top management-consulting firm established 20 years ago that has helped organizations of all kinds- General Motors, Microsoft, Best Buy, LinkedIn, and many others-achieve dramatic growth and market leadership through maximizing talent. She was named a 2018 LinkedIn Top Voice in Management and Workplace and has an excellent relationship with MentorBox as well as with getAbstract, which has a huge reach in the corporate-learning market. She is quoted regularly in the business and general consumer press (Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Working Woman, etc.) as well as online (MSNBC, Monster, NPR, etc.) and broadcast media (Fox Business News, CNN, CBS’s Early Show, etc.).

Topics

During this conversation, Roberta and I discuss the following topics:

• The inspiration for her book
• The leadership lessons which she learned as a young HR executive
• How leaders can find the right people for their organization
• Why hiring is not a HR function
• Why it is important for organizations to develop their people internally

As leaders our time is one of our most important resources. It is constantly being demanded for, used, abused, and ultimately we never have enough of it. We need to maximize our time in order to ensure that we are operating effectively for ourselves, our teams, and our organization. In order to achieve this we need to increase our productivity, maximize our time-management, and become as efficient as possible. Exactly why today’s guest is here with us. 

Alexis is a productivity, time-management and efficiency expert. She spent the first 15+ years of her career managing operations and HR at several early-stage start-ups, where there was always way more to do than people to do it. But she also believes that work-life balance is essential for everyone, even though the definition may be different for everyone. As a result, she began to develop and implement productivity systems in the companies she worked for, and in her life, to ensure that goals were met, balls were not dropped, and that, most importantly, she and those around her stayed sane. Her productivity and time-management systems, techniques, tricks and hacks can be customized to any team, individual or household.  

Topics

During this interview, Alexis and I discuss the following topics:

• How she became a productivity expert
• Why balance is so important
• How to prioritize effectively
• Why taking a break is so important

Thirty-five days, 14 hours, and 3 minutes. That’s how long it took Jason Caldwell and the crew of the American Spirit to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean during the perilous 2016 Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge—or, as it’s known to those who attempt it, “The World’s Toughest Row.” They not only succeeded but set a world record. This treacherous, man-powered journey required an exceptional team. But it also demanded extraordinary leadership, executed by the type of leader people are willing to risk not just their careers—but their lives—to follow.

Jason Caldwell is the founder of Latitude 35, a leadership training firm that operates around the globe. He works with organizations including Nike, Booking.com, Columbia Business School, and the Haas School of Business and delivers speaking programs to packed crowds at Fortune 500 companies and universities worldwide. A professional adventure racer, Caldwell currently holds over a dozen world records across five continents. 

Navigating the Impossible Topics

During this interview, Jason and I discuss the following topics:

• His trip across the Atlantic Ocean
• Why teams don’t need all the “best” people on them
• How he goes about picking new members of teams
• Why reviewing “chaos” is so important to team building
• How leaders can rid their team of negative egos
• The importance of employing individuals with their strengths
• How leaders can quit like winners

Toxic leaders, they are everywhere. In fact, they are not worth being referred to as leaders, instead I like to refer to them as bosses. These horrible examples of leadership are too often the result in people quitting and ultimately organizations crumbling.

Mark Tinsley is a US Army Officer, and leadership coach and consultant. With many poor examples of leadership and many examples of toxic leaders, Mark embarked on a journey to help the world rid itself of toxic leadership. Now he works with organizations large and small to help them remove toxicity from their workplace and replace it with true leadership.

Toxic Leadership Topics

During this conversation, Mark and I discuss the following topics:

• What Toxic Leadership is
• Where toxic leaders come from
• How organizations can ensure that they pick people who would be successful leaders
• How leaders can check to see if they are a toxic leader
• How leaders can operate as the "shield" from a toxic
• How to stand up to a toxic leader
