100th Episode Special - Powerful Insights From My 10 Favourite Leadership Experts

In some of my leadership keynotes and workshops, I point out how one way to foster a sense of cohesion and community among your employees is to make time to celebrate milestones. What’s important here is not to just have a party where people can feel a sense of completion, but that we also use this moment to highlight the journey we’ve been on and what we’ve accomplished on this journey.It’s in that spirit that I wanted to do something special to celebrate the release of the 100th episode of my podcast “Leadership Biz Cafe”. And in keeping with what I share with leaders on how to best utilize the attainment of key milestones, I wanted to use this episode as an opportunity to look back at the past 99 episodes and first select my 10 favourite guests I’ve spoken with (to date).And then the trickier part - picking one key insight that’s not only worth a second listen, but which is both powerful and timely for helping leaders address the challenges they face today.Now I have to be honest that I had to omit two guests who’d otherwise make my shortlist as I just featured them in the recent episode “My Favourite Guest Moments and Insights From 2021” and as such, I thought it’d be better to feature other guests in their place.Over the course of this 100th episode retrospective, you’ll hear:Guy Kawasaki on why leaders should focus on enchanting employees instead of influencing them.Doug Conant on why leaders need to foster a sense of community and purpose.Liz Wiseman on why some leaders bring out the best in others while other leaders drain the motivation out from their team.Matthew E. May on why “intelligent” constraints are needed to fuel creativity.Dr. Heidi Grant Halvorson on how leaders can make sure employees really understand what they want from them.Whitney Johnson on why constraints are beneficial when facing disruption.Tim Sanders on why our attention is getting narrower and what leaders need to do to overcome it to rally their employees around a common vision or goal.Dr. Timothy Clark on why many organizations struggle with creating inclusive workplaces and how to overcome it.Sally Helgesen on what needs to be done to get more women into leadership development pipelines.Stephen MR Covey on why addressing intent is critical to fostering trust in your leadership.Not to mention getting to hear the story behind why I started my popular leadership podcast ... and the key role Guy Kawasaki played in bringing this show to life.Going back to listen to the past conversations was such a delight and so informative about what leaders need to do to succeed. And without question, this retrospective episode provides powerful and timely insights that will help you succeed in your leadership by empowering your employees to do their best work.This is definitely one episode you’re going to want to make time to listen to - and be prepared to take some notes as these guests really provide a lot of food for thought. My thanks to them and to all my guests I’ve had on my show over the past 99 episodes. Here’s looking ahead to the future and that next big milestone of reaching 200 episodes.https://open.spotify.com/episode/3VmC7Zwp1po89nl12q8l0mNoteworthy links:Here are links to listen to the full episodes of the guests I featured in this retrospective episode:How The Power Of Enchantment Can Help Us Succeed | Guy KawasakiHow Successful Leaders Maintain Focus In A Distracted World | Doug ConantHow Leaders Grow Employee Intelligence To Drive Success | Liz WisemanHow Leaders Can Encourage Creativity And Innovation | Matthew E.
