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.

Guests: Allan Bird & Joyce Osland
It’s hard enough leading a small local team; imagine running a team that stretches across continents!
That’s exactly what global leaders must do. But from what motivates people to varying labor laws, cultures vary wildly around the planet, so leadership styles must adapt with them. How can a global leader do it all?
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)?
What is it about our international world that makes leading globally so challenging? And
How do we develop leaders who are skilled in managing global changes?
Produced in partnership with the International Leadership Association: https://ilaglobalnetwork.org.

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: Donatos Pizza’s CEO Offers His Better Ingredients for Better 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.

Guest: Kim Campbell, former Prime Minister of Canada
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.

S4-Ep9: The Dance Between Leadership & Followership
Sunday Jan 28, 2024
Sunday Jan 28, 2024
Guests: Margaret Heffernan & Ira Chaleff
What we need from leaders today is vastly different than even a decade ago. That change began years ago; the pandemic merely accelerated it. The reason is simple: turbulence and uncertainty are now chronic conditions. Now, guest Margaret Heffernan says, leadership is about building organizations that thrive in turbulence. She shares six steps to make that happen.
Then, Ira Chaleff switches the perspective to your followers. After all, the best leadership requires the best followership. Influence is not unidirectional from leader to follower; it bounces back from the front line to the back office, too. Ira reveals how followers act with courage to collaborate with leaders -- and shares the counterintuitive idea of intelligent disobedience.
Produced in partnership with the International Leadership Association: https://ilaglobalnetwork.org.

Guest: Celina Caesar-Chavannes
What’s your secret identity?
Our true selves are often buried so deeply that they’re a secret to us. It’s hard enough to lead authentically when you don’t know who you are – but how can you motivate your team if you don’t know who they really are, either?
The key is the praxis of humanization, a way of helping your coworkers bring their authentic selves to the office. Guest Celina Caesar-Chavannes discovered this truth in her own personal journey – a journey that took her to the halls of power as a member of Canada’s parliament, where societal stereotypes continued around her unabated. But her revelation on identity soon followed, with important lessons for other leaders!
Here's what Celina and Maureen cover:
Why titles don’t protect us from society’s sundry "-isms";
The many ways we’re conditioned to NOT be our best at work (or at home); and
How leaders can foster humanization, so people bring their best, unique selves to work (and you have a happier, more productive team).

S5-Ep9: Lifetime Achievement in Leadership Theory & Practice
Saturday Jan 20, 2024
Saturday Jan 20, 2024
Guests: Joanne Ciulla & Keith Grint
Why do so many leaders have trouble acting ethically?
For nearly three decades, Joanne Ciulla has focused her research on ethics in leadership. Even though the framework for ethics is over 2,400 years old, our definition of being ethical holds firm today. Why is it taking so many leaders so long to catch on? Her answers may surprise you.
Joanne earned the International Leadership Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018. Keith Grint did, as well; Maureen interviews him in the second half of this episode. Keith focused his research on helping leaders identify problems, categorize them, and determine decision styles. If problem-solving is a must for you, then Keith’s interview is a must-listen, too!
Produced in partnership with the International Leadership Association: https://ilaglobalnetwork.org.

About Our Guests:
Keith Grint is Professor of Public Leadership at Warwick University in Coventry, England and a Fellow of the British Academy of Social Sciences. Before switching to an academic career, Grint spent ten years as a blue collar worker and held a number of jobs including postman, freezer operative, and karate instructor. This background and perspective has grounded his teaching and scholarship. As a founding co-editor of Leadership, an academic journal published by SAGE, and as co-founder of the International Studying Leadership Conference, Grint has played an important role in the development of the field by building a community of international, interdisciplinary leadership researchers taking critical approaches to leadership. A prolific writer, Grint has penned more than ninety journal articles and book chapters and has written or edited a number of landmark leadership books. His recent research includes mindfulness in high-reliability organizations and leadership romanticism.
Professor Joanne Ciulla is a pioneer in the field of leadership ethics. Her research on the ethical challenges of leadership is interdisciplinary but draws heavily on literature in philosophy and history. She also does extensive research in business ethics. Prior to joining Rutgers, she held the Coston Family Chair in Leadership and Ethics at the Jepson School of Leadership Studies (University of Richmond), where she was one of the founding faculty of the school, which is the first degree granting liberal arts school of leadership studies in the world. Ciulla has held academic appointments at Harvard Business School, The Wharton School, LaSalle University, and numerous visiting appointments outside of the U.S., including the UNESCO chair in Leadership Studies at the United Nations International Leadership Academy in Jordan. She is a Fulbright Specialist, which allows her to work with institutions outside of the US on programs and research related to ethics and leadership.
