Do you practice the powers of ten as a leader? A few years ago, I interviewed the CEO of IDEO, Tim Brown, and asked him about the characteristics and qualities leaders need to possess. He told me that one of the things he believes is most valuable for a leader is the idea of practicing the powers of 10. As a leader, you need to be able to both zoom in and zoom out. You need to be able to get involved in the micro when needed, but at the same time, you also need to be able to zoom out and see the big picture. Often, leaders are good at one or the other, or they're not good at either. But as a leader, you need to be good at both. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.

Today's discussion is with Jeff Raider who's the co-founder and co-CEO Harry's and also the co-founder of Warby Parker. Harry's is a 1,000 person CPG company which offers everything from razors to face care, body care, and hair care for men and women. One of the things I found fascinating about Jeff is that he helped start not one, but two very successful companies over the past decade and I wanted to understand why and how he did it. In today's discussion we talk about balancing short term success with long-term growth, how to earn the trust of your customers, what it takes to turn an idea into something real, and why it's so crucial for employees to have a connection to what the company does. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.

It's no secret that mental health is crucial right now. But it's also a difficult resource for a lot of people to access. Even after you call your healthcare provider, it can take weeks before an appointment is available. The same thing is true inside of our organizations. If an employee is struggling with something and goes to their leader, the first thing a leader often does is try to deflect and push that employee to talk to somebody else. But the reality is that leaders are the frontline. They need to be the frontline when it comes to mental health. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.

What is the impact of a great leader inside of your company? When you work for a great leader, you feel like you can do anything. In fact, a study ‌by Zenger Folkman found that great leaders can double company profits. Not only does this help the employees, but it also helps your organization as a whole from a financial perspective. When you work for a great leader, their behaviors, attitudes, and values will spread inside your organization. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.

My guest today is Sally Helgesen, leadership coach and author of the best-selling book, How Women Rise which was written with Marshall Goldsmith. She has a new book in February called Rising Together. In today's discussion we look at some of the unique challenges that women face when it comes to career success. These are self-imposed challenges which oftentimes don't have anything to do with corporate culture or structure. Some of these challenges include the disease to please, minimizing, and being reluctant to claim achievements. The interesting thing is that Sally discovered that many of these challenges also apply to men. We explore these challenges in more detail, talk about hard skill versus soft skills, and the role that competence plays in career success. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.

Have you ever thought about what a toxic leader does to your organization? Toxic leaders literally kill the people who work for them! A study by the University of Manchester looked at 1200 participants to explore the impact of bad leaders. They found people who worked for a toxic boss had lower satisfaction, and those who worked for a narcissistic or psychopathic boss were more likely to experience clinical depression. The scariest part is that toxic bosses' behaviors, attitudes, and values spread inside of organizations like wildfire! Meaning, everybody around those leaders starts to behave the same way. And suddenly, you wake up one day and realize your entire organization is disengaged, nobody wants to be there, your productivity goes down, and one day your business might even cease to exist altogether. These leaders have low self-awareness and empathy. There should be no place in the corporate world for toxic people, especially toxic leaders. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.

Everybody needs leadership training. Most people become leaders in their mid to late 20s or early 30s. However, most people don't get any kind of formal leadership training until their late 30s and perhaps early 40s. They have to figure out how to become leaders because nobody taught them how to. This is one of the biggest things we need to fix. Give everyone in your company access to leadership training and development programs. You are arming these individuals with tools and resources that can positively impact your business, customers, and team members. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.
