In this episode of The Thinking Leader Bryce and Marcus discuss the secrets of great leadership learning.   They highlight the current issues of how people are learning things at business school years before they are able to effectively apply them.    They also explain how training in the military vs the corporate world is not treated the same, despite both of them requiring applied critical thinking techniques.    Businesses fail to invest in correctly training their leadership teams. Bryce states how important it is to teach things that will immediately impact people and change the way they operate and lead. Marcus relates this idea to his time in the military, if a member of the team went and received training they would be expected to use that knowledge as soon as possible.     In this episode, Bryce & Marcus discuss: The difference between leadership learning in the military and business Why self-directed online learning is ineffective Why businesses don’t invest in learning – and why they should   For more information about this episode head to https://www.linkedin.com/posts/marcusdimbleby_brown-dont-wait-for-me-to-accelerate-change-activity-6978228815068073984-mD3R?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop   Want to find out if you’re a Red Team Thinker?

In this episode of The Thinking Leader Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk to Captain David Marquet, a retired United States Navy captain and the bestselling author of Turn the Ship Around and Leadership is Language.   Captain David Marquet imagines a workplace where everyone engages, contributes their full intellectual capacity, and where everyone is a leader.    In this episode, the trio discuss what leadership is and how to lead effectively. As you will hear in the show, the current structure of leadership is overdue for a change. The system in place at the moment is a permission-based one where organizations reward the overachievers and feed their egos. The issue with this leadership style is that it relies on one person to make all the decisions.    A way to fix this is to give everyone autonomy and action with intention, not permission. Intention-based leadership doesn’t fall apart like a house of cards when the leader is not present.    In this episode you will hear:    How to fix the leadership issues in your organization  Why you should let your team be autonomous  Knowing when to be intentionally tough How to hold people accountable    Want to find out if you’re a Red Team Thinker?

In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce and Marcus discuss the concept of quiet quitting and the issues that are affecting leaders in today’s workplace.    Changes to the corporate world in recent years have been almost instantaneous and have had a profound and lasting impact on the way that we all work. Seemingly, a growing majority of people are no longer willing to do more than the bare minimum amount of work necessary to keep their job. This is down to a multitude of varying reasons - some avoidable, others not so much - but a large responsibility for a disenfranchised team is down to a problem with leadership in the working world.   Those that are willing to go ‘above and beyond’ are often not being rewarded for exceeding expectations, which is ultimately encouraging people to accept mediocrity.    In the show, Bryce highlights that one of the issues is the fact that the wrong leaders are being promoted in the workplace and their levels of leadership skill, professional development and management competence are simply not up to scratch.    While this tsunami of workplace indifference seems to be sweeping organizations globally it is - in most cases - obvious that no one sets out to intentionally do a bad job. Realistically, most people want to make a positive difference in their working life but oftentimes there is just no incentive to do so.   Seemingly, leaders are not making good relationships with the people on their teams which, in turn, results in them being less willing to exceed expectations.    In the episode, Marcus notes, from his time in the military, that the best leaders were those that were willing to put in the extra work and get their boots dirty. They led by example which meant they got the best out of their teams. This style of ‘roll up your sleeves’ management seems to garner respect, leading to others ‘upping their game’ in line with the expectation being shown.     This show will make you question whether, as a leader, you are willing to put in the extra time necessary to ensure that your team feels they can have an honest and open dialogue with you.    In this episode you will hear:  Why employees are not motivated to work hard What leaders need to do to have a motivated workforce How you can be a better team member  Why trust is so important in the workplace Want to find out if you’re a Red Team Thinker?

In this episode of The Thinking Leader Podcast Bryce speaks to Michael Kleeman, a technology strategist whose particular skill is in bridging technical and business issues.    Michael is currently Senior Fellow at the University of California, San Diego, working on critical systems and infrastructures with a focus on creating resilient communities. He is also a Board member at the American Red Cross, the Institute for the Future, and a senior advisor at BSR.   Bryce and Michael discuss dealing with problems in complex systems. The main problem facing the human race is the fact we have built sub-optimal systems and processes that are unsustainable. These systems inherently produce waste products and lose value on a local level. Bryce recalls the time he met the founder of Toyota and how their company had a 100 year plan, positing that planning this far ahead is a necessity.   Michael wants to see CEOs and leaders be incentivized to optimize their businesses for the long term. It is important for leaders to have a reason why they do what they do.   In this episode you will hear:  How to use critical thinking to navigate the complexities of the world The intergenerational discount rate and the effects it has on how we make choices  Why you should think long term instead of short term What to do to become a mission driven leader    Want to find out if you’re a Red Team Thinker?

In this episode of The Thinking Leader Bryce Hoffman talks to James Burtt, executive producer of The Thinking Leader Podcast.   Bryce explains what Red Team Thinking is and how he became aware of it. The core principles of Red Team Thinking are to use critical thinking to create plans with resilience, diversity of thought and enable distributed decision making. It is a way for leaders to know what they don’t know.    Bryce was alerted to the idea of contrarian thinking by the movie World War Z and a concept in it, “the 10th Man Theory”.
