S5-Ep29: Effectively Addressing Values Conflicts
Sunday Mar 10, 2024

Guest: John Heiser, former CEO of LabVantage
We hear a lot about family values and personal values…but what about business values? And what happens when your company’s and personal values conflict?
Values conflicts arise frequently in the workplace. Addressing them leads to a more engaged and satisfied workforce (who also drive superior performance). Guest John Heiser explains how, and shares details on the “Giving Voice to Values” (GVV) program, which provides a proven framework for organizations to implement.
Produced in conjunction with the International Leadership Association: https://ilaglobalnetwork.org/ .

S10-Ep11: Noodling Solutions for Food Insecurity
Tuesday Mar 05, 2024
Tuesday Mar 05, 2024
Guest: Dr. Reza Soltanzadeh (CEO & Founder of Borealis Foods)
Solving a major crisis sometimes requires reframing it. For Reza Soltanzadeh, working with Doctors Without Borders exposed him to global hunger—but he saw one solution by reframing the problem as global malnutrition.
That set him on a path of high innovation, resulting in a ramen noodle that can, quite literally, nourish the world.
Reza shares how his company, Borealis Foods, has learned to innovate so supremely well.
Here's what Reza and host Maureen Metcalf cover:
Why the American manufacturing process is ideally suited to supplying products that answer global humanitarian needs;
The elements of Borealis’ company culture that make high innovation possible; and
The innovative strategies for creating affordable products that meet your customers’ needs.

S5-Ep11: More Women on Boards
Sunday Mar 03, 2024
Sunday Mar 03, 2024
Guests: Marlene Janzen Le Ber and Lynne E. Devnew (Researchers at Brescia University College & University of Phoenix)
We judge female leaders differently than men; we’ll decry a woman exec displaying the exact same behavior as a male. The challenges keeping women from the C-suite and board room are systemic and complex – but the process really starts at the very beginning: how women aspire to and define leadership itself!
We’re making progress: women held just over 30% of Fortune 500 board seats in 2022. That’s up from just 22.2% in 2017. With women comprising roughly half of humanity, there’s still work to be done. That’s what guests Marlene Janzen Le Ber and Lynne E. Devnew discuss with host Maureen Metcalf in this episode.
From differences in how men and women express anger to how to promote (or stay quiet about) their own successes, you’ll learn about the research of boosting the number of women in the boardroom – and boosting your own career!
Produced in conjunction with the Innovative Leadership Institute: https://ilaglobalnetwork.org/ .

S10-Ep10: How Influence Leads to Great Leadership
Tuesday Feb 27, 2024
Tuesday Feb 27, 2024
Guest: Brian Ahearn, Chief Influence Officer at Influence PEOPLE
Employee engagement at work continues to nosedive. So how can you motivate your team?
Show them you care! That’s just one tool in the influence toolkit guest Brian Ahearn shares with Maureen Metcalf in this episode. Influencing people is a critical art in motivating people to engage in their work—and forge success for your entire team. It’s not about manipulation; that’s for poor leaders. It’s about very transparent persuasion. The theory is simple; the difficulty of putting it into practice is up to you!
Here's what Brian and Maureen cover:
The difference between persuasion and pre-suasion;
Why keeping your focus on ethical influence is so important; and
The three elements of ethical influencing.

It’s hard enough leading a small local team; imagine running a team that stretches across continents!

Guests Allan Bird and Joyce Osland have some answers. They’re specialists in researching global leadership, and their insights may surprise you!
Here's what Allan, Joyce, and Maureen cover:
How do local cultures make a unified company culture so difficult (or easier)?

S10-Ep9: Competent Boards by Choice, Not Chance
Tuesday Feb 20, 2024
Tuesday Feb 20, 2024
Guest: Helle Bank Jorgensen
Does your board of directors have the slightest clue what to do with AI?
As AI creeps into your organization, your board has a fiduciary duty to determine its parameters in the workplace AND in the boardroom…such as figuring out how much information is relevant, and whether it’s trustworthy, misinformation, or just way more than you need. There are ethical considerations, too.
Fortunately, guest Helle Bank Jorgensen has tips to help. She’s the founder and CEO of Competent Boards, and routinely helps boardrooms improve.
Here's what Helle and Maureen cover:
Why it’s critical for AI to earn your trust as a leader;
The very real financial dangers of acting on misinformation instead of objective (and trust-worthy) facts; and
The equally real opportunities that await you beyond those risks!

S5-Ep8: Democracy on the Run
Sunday Feb 18, 2024
Sunday Feb 18, 2024
Are leaders letting democracy die?
Less than half of the world’s nations are full-fledged democracies today. That’s down from just 20 years ago.
Part of the problem is a nation’s democratic death usually isn’t dramatic or sudden; it’s often a series of subtler, slower moves such as only appointing loyalists to cabinet posts and judgeships, or threatening the press if coverage isn’t towing the party line.
How does this happen in leadership? In this episode, three international thought leaders -- Matt Qvortrup, Veronika Anghel, and Mike Hardy -- discuss how a growing number of despots, dictators, and demagogues have finessed techniques to undermine democracy…and leadership strategies to strengthen democracies against them.

S10-Ep8: Love at First Slice - Pizza & Passionate Leadership
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
Guest: Tom Krouse
Lots of leaders claim their products are made with love. Donatos Pizza means it: they practice Agape Capitalism.
As CEO Tom Krouse explains in this episode, Agape Capitalism puts a love of humanity at the center of their company processes and revenue generation. Its origins are rooted in founder Jim Grote’s observations as a teen working in a pizzeria with two owners: one a frugal bean counter, the other a passionate people-person. Sales soared higher the nights the people-person was in charge!
Tom talks about that, his own leadership style, and the parallels between playing music in a band and great leadership.
Here's what Tom and Maureen cover:
How innovation has always been one of the major keys to Donatos’ profitability and success;
Why the core tenets of Agape Capitalism complement corporate goals so effectively; and
The positive effects the COVID pandemic had on the restaurant industry…and, most critically, on its leadership.

Tuesday Jan 30, 2024
Tuesday Jan 30, 2024
Guest: Kim Campbell
Climate change is already hitting businesses’ bottom lines – and those business costs are only beginning. As guest Kim Campbell – the former Prime Minister of Canada – points out, we hit this tipping point through poor corporate leadership in the past. The question now is: what can today’s leaders do about it?
Kim has some stats, and a lot of ideas!
Here's what Kim and Maureen cover:
Why insurance companies may be the drivers of corporate climate change initiatives;
The pivotal role of corporations in driving positive outcomes in combating global warming; and
What individual leaders can do for their organizations, their communities, and the planet.
Produced in conjunction with the International Leadership Association: https://ilaglobalnetwork.org.
