Read to Lead Podcast

This episode marks the third week in a row I’ve welcomed a university professor (or former professor). First Harvard, then Yale, and today’s guest, formerly of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. I feel smarter just having been around them these last few weeks. That guest today is making a returning visit to us. His name […]

Last week we chatted with a Harvard professor. Next week, we’ll chat with a professor at a prestigious college in Canada. This week, we receive a visit from at professor at Yale University. That professor’s name is Barry Nalebuff. One of his early experiences negotiating was when he and a former student sold their tea […]

When you end an interview with a Harvard Business School professor and he tells you your questions made him think, it kinda makes your day (or maybe your week, your month, your year, or, perhaps your life)! Though we may not see eye-to-eye on all the issues he presented, I consider the chance to chat […]

When a guest who’s been on the podcast more than any other guest recommends another author to you, your ears perk up quite bit. That was the case for me when four-time guest Liz Wiseman suggested I meet author Whitney Johnson. I am so thankful to Liz for that introduction because her new book came […]

I love books on the topic of productivity. It’s a topic about which plenty of books have written. Some might argue we don’t need any more books on productivity. That is not the case for the latest productivity book I read. It’s now at the top of the list of best all-time productivity books in […]

Today’s guest is on the executive team of one of the nation’s most successful companies. That company is Chick-fil-A. I’m talking, of course, about Executive Vice President of High-Performance Leadership, Mark Miller. He’s been a guest on the show before to talk about Win Every Day. His latest book, though, is called Smart Leadership: Four […]

One of my favorite productivity books ever is one called The 12 Week Year: How to Get More Done in 12 Weeks Than Others Do in 12 Months by Brian Moran and Michael Lennington. Though I didn’t get a chance to interview them about that book when it came out, I was delighted when a […]

When it comes to other podcasters, one person I’ve always admired is also today’s guest on Read to Lead. His name is Joe Saul-Sehy, and what he’s built over at the Stacking Benjamins podcast is pretty amazing. He also happens to have a new book out (surprise) that I’m delighted to help put on your […]

Today I welcome back for the third time – and the second time in less than a year – one of my favorite authors. He’s got a brand new book out (released last week) and I can’t wait to tell you more about it. My guest is none other than Stephen M. R. Covey, whose […]

What an awesome and incredibly important discussion I have for you today! It’s my long-awaited sit-down with none other than Marcus Buckingham. I first got the chance to hear Marcus speak fifteen, or maybe, twenty years ago at the annual Global Leadership Summit in Chicago. Marcus was captivating AND inspiring that day. His new book […]
