Ep 422: Being Reliable for the Hard Work (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Being reliable for hard work can be an incredible strategy for success. But when hard work becomes the answer to everything, it can leave us untrusting of our own intuitive wisdom. The work is to notice our tendency to push over our intuitive sense, notice ourselves picking up the tools and getting ready to do the work, and to the best of our ability, let that go.
Ep 420: Working With "I Only Care About Myself" Energy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Leadership is about meeting the moment. Yet, when people speak from a place of "what is authentic to me," they may lose sight of how their words impact the group. In this episode, Adam Quiney explores how leaders can create a context for people to practice speaking, become alive to the impact of what they say in the space, and discern what the room and the moment most require.

Ep 418: AI, Work slop and Leadership slop (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
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.
