Reality-Based Leadership

Welcome to episode 2 of the brand new season of No Ego! As we move forward in the season, you'll notice that every other episode has a guest, and in between, you get me solo. So welcome to a solo episode, your "one on one with Cy" for the week.

Today we're going to talk about bringing your whole self to work. While I totally understand where this concept is coming from, it has a lot of flaws in it. I advocate for your evolved self, not your whole self. For more on that, tune in to today's episode.

How can leaders update their methods and also keep drama at bay when they aren't in the same room as their team? Tune in for more!

You guys are in for a treat with this week's episode - I'm so proud to have on Linda Galindo, whose work I have been following for years. She is a thought leader in accountability and I adore her work. Linda believes people on a whole are afraid of accountability - but she wants to change that, first by showing us that it is a mindset, not a set of behaviors. Tune in for more of our fantastic conversation.

Today's episode comes to you from...the NASA headquarters! I was lucky enough to head down to Washington, DC to speak with Billy McMillan, the Human Innovation Officer at NASA. When we think about NASA, we typically think about scientists, engineers...but you don't often think of the other roles that play such a huge part in creating the discoveries that are made today. It was such a thrill to talk to Billy about some of the amazing things he is working on and how our philosophies intersect.

This week on the podcast, I'm bringing you guys the full unedited conversation with my good friend Kris Lappala from Dell Technologies. I had him on my show Life's Messy Live Happy last week, but we edited the conversation down. The only place you can get the full thing is right here on the podcast. We honed in the big topic I've been talking so much about: excuses. How can you as a leader get your team to stop relying on excuses? And are leaders imagining so much of the work they think they have to? We thought so. Tune in for more!

When you meet up with team members in a project and acknowledge together that where you're going is unknown, everyone is able to put their ego aside and get into a beginner's mind. Nothing is impossible when everyone is learning together. This is one of the topics that kicked off my conversation with the amazing Matt Johnson, a lead consultant at The Frontier Project, an organizational transformation company. He's a trained mathematician, former frontman of a punk rock band, and a Pentagon policymaker. There's no fitting Matt into any sort of box. I hope you'll enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
