  • TWITTER TUESDAY #7 [EPISODE 67]
    On Twitter Tuesday, I discuss a handful of quotes about leadership and unpack them. I pre-select useful quotes; I do not just read my twitter feed—and I will give credit to the author of the quote, the person who posted, or both where possible.
    I mentioned General McCrystal’s book, Team of Teams:

    I also mentioned the video about the wolves: The Difference between a Boss and a Leader:

  • LET ME TELL YOU A STORY ABOUT TRUST [EPISODE 66]
    In this episode, I want to tell you a story. It is a story about what happened to me over the weekend. If you listen, you will learn valuable lessons about trust (trust me).
    Every leader needs to understand how trust works and why you distrust a leader before you even know that you should.

  • YOU REALLY ARE MORE TIRED WHEN YOU WORK AT HOME. HERE’S WHY. [EPISODE 65]
    In this episode I review a few articles that discuss how remote work is harder both quantitatively and qualitatively. We are working more and the work has become more difficult (even if we can wear shorts while we do it).
    This discussion draws on a number of  articles from:
    Fortune:
    https://fortune.com/2020/08/03/work-day-working-from-home-coronavirus-pandemic-covid-19-meetings-schedule-length/
    The Baltimore Sun:

  • RACISM, FELT EMOTIONS, AND STATISTICS [EPISODE 64]
    In this episode, I again interview Professor Scott Pearson of Palm Beach Atlantic University. Scott and I talk about the wide gap between the feeling and experience of African Americans and the actual statistics of police killing African Americans.
    The discussion was predicated on a viral video where a woman pleads with the cops not to shoot a Black man. It is clear that she believes that he is about to be murdered before her eyes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=6yEIyToSmFc&feature=emb_logo&fbclid=IwAR1ICXAUkDDOjVPhTvZjf4gFujalTQeZvk0dNedaGI2MGBRizJPScVe0X8k
    While the statistics do not support her suspicion, her fear is real and it must not be discounted if we are to make any progress in race relations. Scott and I talk about bridging the chasm between this visceral fear and the statistics.

  • HOW STONEBRIDGE SCHOOL TEACHES STUDENTS TO BECOME LEADERS [EPISODE 61]
    HOW STONEBRIDGE SCHOOL TEACHES STUDENTS TO BECOME LEADERS [EPISODE 61]
    In this episode, I again interview Jeff Carlucci. Jeff is my former colleague at StoneBridge School where I taught from 1999-2004. Jeff has been there for 23 years and he is the former Headmaster of the school.
    In this episode, we are going to talk about our observations of the ways that students learned about leadership at SBS. Hint: It was less about teaching leadership than it was about experiencing leadership.
    Leadership was built into in the DNA of the institution. You can read all about Stonebridge school here:

  • LESSONS LEADERS CAN LEARN FROM CHINA’S ONE CHILD POLICY [EPISODE 59]
    In this episode, I talk about the documentary One Child Nation. It is useful on so many levels. First, you want to understand what is happening around the world. But more importantly, you need to understand a number of lessons that directly relate to leadership: Policies matter. There are human consequences for your policies. There also may be unintended consequences for the policies you pursue. Leaders need to digest all of these lessons if they wish to lead others well.
