Alignment Beats Talent | The People Advantage (Series Finale) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Episode 205, Phil and Paul wrap up Season 14's The People Advantage series with Episode 10—the finale. Ten episodes in, they bring it all together around one core idea: alignment beats talent, every single time. Equal talent, or even a talent disadvantage, doesn't matter if your team is aligned and the other one isn't. What happens off the field always shows up on it. And since everyone stops playing the sport eventually, the real question is what lessons are actually being built into the peo

Read excerpt
In Episode 204, Phil and Paul continue Season 14's dive into The People Advantage with Episode 9 of the series—and this one tackles the gap between knowing something and actually living it out.

Talent is valuable. But talent without character can quietly unravel everything you've worked to build. Drawing on years of coaching and leadership—plus one of their favorite leadership books, Legacy —Phil and Paul talk through why great cultures never happen by accid
The People Advantage: Building Trust Before Crisis Hits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Episode 201, Phil and Paul continue Season 14's focus on The People Advantage by exploring one of the most important ingredients in every healthy team, organization, family, and relationship: Trust. Most leaders recognize trust is important. Far fewer intentionally build it before they need it. The reality is that trust isn't built during a crisis. Trust is built long before the crisis arrives. And when conflict, adversity, disappointment, or uncertainty inevitably come, teams either draw on
