The Transformational Leader

The world of leadership is rife with information, listicles and re-hashed advice. We all know that we need to have more difficult conversations, be kinder and more empathetic with those we lead, and walk the path of servant leadership.And yet we rarely seem to get any closer to developing ourselves as the leaders we wish to be. Instead, we clutter our brains with more information, enact a new promise to ourselves and those around us to lean in and show up more powerfully than we did last time, and somehow remain running around in circles.There's no shortage of advice available to create incremental change, and they provide exactly that: create incremental change. You get better at doing what you already do, but slightly faster and slightly better. Boring.This podcast will NOT provide you with incremental change. It will expose your hidden genius, unlock a new level of mastery in yourself, and, provide you paths to creating exponential power and growth.

  Ep 418: AI, Work slop and Leadership slop

  Aug 9, 202615 min

  Work slop is a new term that Harvard Business coined for AI output that looks polished but has no substance. It looks good enough, passes inspection, and carries very little weight, quietly transferring the actual work to whoever's downstream. But work slop is not new. The same thing has been happening in leadership for a long time through active listening, feedback meetings, and "candid conversations" that take the form of something real without actually touching what matters.

  Ep 417 : The Trap of Feedback-Positive Cultures

  Aug 2, 202617 min

  There is nothing wrong with positive feedback. But a feedback-positive culture can train people to accept feedback, nod their heads, and say yes without ever truly letting the feedback reach them. The feedback that makes a difference creates disruption, and leadership is forged by sitting with the discomfort instead of explaining, justifying, or turning it into the next action.

  Ep 416 : Being Held Accountable vs Becoming Someone Who Is Accountable

  Jul 26, 202610 min

  Being held accountable can help you do the thing, but it doesn't create a transformational shift. It creates compliance, not leadership. Adam Quiney explains why becoming someone who is accountable is different from being held accountable by someone else.

  Ep 415: Feedback vs Contact

  Jul 19, 202618 min

  Today, we are going to draw a distinction between getting and receiving feedback. It happens all the time across the leadership world, but contact is almost never happening. Many leaders believe they are receiving feedback because they listen, ask clarifying questions, thank people, and take action. But those moves can become part of a protective identity that keeps the real issue at a distance.

  Ep 414: Why Feedback Friendly Cultures Fail.

  Jul 12, 202620 min

  Why does creating a feedback-friendly culture fail? Most people welcome feedback that fits the story they already have about themselves, but reject feedback that challenges their existing identity. Real transformation begins when leaders and teams develop the capacity to hold tension, stay in the conversation, and let in the feedback they would normally push away. That's what creates meaningful change: not just asking for feedback, but learning how to truly receive it.
