  • 408. Strengthening Leadership Without Becoming a Jerk

    In this episode of the Reflections on Leadership podcast, Karl Bimshas discusses how you can become a stronger leader without becoming a more difficult person to work for.

    Effective leadership includes being able to say, "I got that wrong." Then do something about it. Acknowledge it. Understand it. Repair what needs repairing. Change what needs changing. Then keep going.

  • 407. When Your Values Cost You Something

    In this episode of the Reflections on Leadership podcast, listen to Karl Bimshas discuss your courage and moral leadership.

    Most leaders can tell you what they believe. They can point to their values on a wall, in an employee handbook, or in a speech to the organization. But if you don’t responsibly stand up for those values when things get difficult, do you really have them?

  • 406. The Question Is Good. The Rule Is Not.

    In this episode of the Reflections on Leadership podcast, listen to Karl Bimshas urge leaders to resist grading employees. Instead, explore three questions.

    1. Are they performing at the level this role requires?

    2. If they aren't, do I believe they can get there?

    3. Am I willing to do what leadership reasonably should do to find out?

  • 403. When Feelings Start Making Leadership Decisions

    In this episode of the Reflections on Leadership podcast, listen to Karl Bimshas on the seven places leaders often get stuck.

    1. Indifference → Make Contact

    2. Indecision → Decide

    3. Doubt → Use Evidence

    4. Worry → Convert

    5. Over-caution → Ship

    6. Pessimism → Get Data

    7. Complaining → Convert or Stop

    These tendencies are different, but they have something in common: they can make inaction feel reasonable. That's what makes them dangerous.
