#100 Project Unicorn: What Law of Victory Actually Looks Like (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2019, e.l.f. Beauty's stock had crashed to $6.71. The board was in scandal. Activist investors were demanding a sale. And CEO Tarang Amin named his recovery plan Project Unicorn. What he did next became one of the most dramatic business turnarounds of the decade. In this episode of the Leader Fuel Podcast, Dr. Linda unpacks John Maxwell's Law of Victory through the real story of how one leader refused the conditions everyone else accepted, and built a $5 billion company on the other side of t
#99 Why Your Team Doesn't Understand You (And Why It's on You) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why your team doesn't understand you, even after you've explained it three times, and why fixing it is your job. Dr. Linda Travelute shows what a young chef in Cleveland knew about being understood nearly a century ago.

The anchor story in this episode is Boeing. In November 2016, Boeing su

Read excerpt
There's a small store in San Francisco that's being run entirely by an artificial intelligence. It approves every request that comes its way, it has never once gotten angry with anyone, and it has answered twenty seven separate late arrivals with some version of no worries. When the New York Times asked the employees what their boss is like to work for, they said they like her. They meant it. The store is also losing money, and four months in, not one person working there is better at their job
