Emily Balcetis: How Successful People See the World

In one of the most compelling &amp; inspiring discussions in this podcast’s history, Doug Conant, former CEO of the Campbell Soup Company, President of Nabisco and Chairman of Avon Products, vividly describes how he felt after being fired from a senior position early in his career. But the discussion quickly pivots; Conant shares the brilliant guidance he was given which not only helped him quickly rebound, but also helped propel him into having a truly remarkable C-Suite career. Initially, Conant might strike you as the classic demanding, direct and hard-charging chief executive. But what's revealed through the course of our discussion is a leader who deeply cares about people -- &amp; someone who believes that organizations can no longer excel unless managers at every level show their employees respect, appreciation -- even love. Doug Conant might just be the greatest representative of the "Lead From The Heart" ideal ever to be a featured guest. And he joins us to discuss his new book, “The Blueprint: 6 Practical Steps To Lift Your Leadership To New Heights” being published in March.

Doug Conant: A Top CEO's Blueprint For Leadership Success

Can you recall the last time you tried to talk to someone about a personal, political or work issue and quickly discovered the other person’s view of the situation was completely different than yours? How’d that work out for you?  If words like “strained,” “painful,” “awful” or “never again,” come to mind – you have a lot of company.   But to be truly effective leaders – not to mention friends, spouses and colleagues – we simply can’t choose to avoid having difficult conversations. It’s a fact of life that some conflict comes with all our relationships. So, how can we make our disputes &amp; wrangling with other people more successful?  How can we maneuver through an argument with our partner, challenge the performance of an employee, or generally disagree with anyone in our life more productively? Former Amazon, Twitter, &amp; Slack executive Buster Benson joins us on this podcast to discuss his new best-seller, “Why Are We Yelling? The Art Of Productive Disagreement. Listen in as Buster shares several remarkable ideas on how you can diffuse the emotional charge that frequently comes with disputes and disagreements. And knowing how to turn disagreements into productive interactions is a profound leadership power and skill to possess. As you’ll surely agree, the timing for learning these skills couldn’t be better.

While we’d all like to believe our career growth will always be the result of a reliable meritocracy, the truth is our success at work is rarely just about the quality of our ideas, credentials, skills, or effort. According to Harvard Business School professor, Laura Huang, how well we progress in our careers really hinges on how effective we are in shaping other people's perceptions – of our strengths and of our flaws. “It's about creating our own edge by confronting the factors that seem like shortcomings &amp; turning them into assets that make others take notice.” In this highly energetic &amp; broad conversation, we discuss Laura’s new book “Edge: Turning Adversity Into Advantage,” &amp; dive into four powerful ways her extensive research proves we can &amp; should create our own unique and powerful edge. The underlying truth of Laura’s message is that none of us can afford to wait for other people to make fair decisions on our behalf in our careers. So, creating a compelling edge for ourselves is a proactively positive &amp; wise way to succeed in an imperfect system. We’re honored that Laura joins us on the day her book is being published – this is her first podcast to launch the work.

Laura Huang: Four Powerful Ways To Create A Winning EDGE

In an economy marked by downsizing, offshoring &amp; an accelerated deployment of robots &amp; automation technology, fears around the future of our work and careers abound. But according to New Yorker Magazine writer and co-founder of NPR’s Planet Money podcast, Adam Davidson, we needn’t be so gloomy.  Tied to extensive research that went into the writing of his new book, The Passion Economy: The New Rules For Thriving In The Twenty-First Century, Davidson says the emerging economy offers new ways of making money, fresh paths toward professional fulfillment, &amp; unprecedented opportunities for curious, ambitious individuals to combine the things they love with their careers. The key is we must have the courage and commitment to pivot away from jobs and businesses we know will soon be automated – or outcompeted by low-cost Asian firms – and apply our unique skills, talents &amp; interests to work that cannot be commoditized. “For most of the 20th Century, the safest, most lucrative strategy was to be much like others as possible,” Davidson says. “In the 21st Century, the best strategy is to be fully yourself &amp; to highlight your difference from everyone else.  That’s where the money is.” As we discuss with Adam in this podcast, his book is filled with stories of people &amp; companies whose successful reinvention provides the rest of us with the transformative hope that we can actually thrive as we never have before. As you’ll hear, there are new ground rules for success in business, &amp; once you know what they are, you’ll have a roadmap for excelling in the world in a way that won’t just earn you a good living, it will also make your heart sing. Whether you have an ear for understanding how to personally thrive in the new economy – or for successfully leading your team or organization to continued success – Davidson provides highly inspiring tales of people who’ve already mastered the “Passion Economy.”

In his new Wall Street Journal bestseller, “Loonshots: How to Nurture the Crazy Ideas That Win Wars, Cure Diseases, and Transform Industries,” Safi Bahcall brilliantly explains what behaviors differentiate organizations that repeatedly birth new ideas – ones that often change the world or at least ensure their business endures – from the those that unwittingly resist change and inadvertently kill them. Microsoft founder, Bill Gates picked “Loonshots” one of his must reads for 2019. Authors Malcolm Gladwell, Daniel Pink, Adam Grant and Susan Cain collectively named it one of the “two most groundbreaking non-fiction reads of the season.”  At a time when just about every business is ripe for some kind of disruption, the ideas Bahcall shares on represent rather timely and essential leadership know-how.  The future of your career – and organizations – might even depend on it.

"In Search Of Excellence" author, Tom Peters passionately recommended we invite Michael J. Gelb to be a podcast guest. And so we have!Michael's new book, The Healing Organization: Awakening The Conscience Of Business To Help Save The World," co-written with conscious capitalism pioneer Raj Sisodia, is the focus of this podcast -- &amp; the conversation is nothing short of inspiring. Tapping into the research he conducted for his book, Michael shares remarkable stories about well-known companies like Shake Shack, Hyatt Hotels and Kind Bars – and how they've earned uncommon loyalty, profit &amp; success by operating in ways that inherently "heal" their employees, customers &amp; communities. We're all familiar with the pledge the Business Roundtable (nearly 200 of the US's top CEOs) recently made to abandon the “shareholders always come first” operating philosophy. But the organizations Michael studied are already there.  And by intentionally choosing to support the needs &amp; interests of all their stakeholders -- they took it on faith that they'd end up building sustainably greater companies -- exactly what they've all accomplished. In a world that urgently needs healing on many levels, a movement to reinvent capitalism so it serves the needs of all constituencies already has great momentum. Listen in to hear what motivated so many top CEOs to create a healing organization – &amp; how individual managers like you can play a meaningful role in making it happen in yours.

Kim Scott: Leading With Radical Candor

As a society, we crazily over-celebrate early achievement as being the best &amp; perhaps only kind of achievement, but compelling new research shows most people are actually late bloomers. And because of this, the premise that early blooming is necessary for lifelong success is simply &amp; massively flawed. For any parent worried their kid's lives will be stunted if they don't get accepted to a top college, for anyone concerned that their career is doomed because they didn't get off to a fast start -- and for all managers who were taught humans beings are limited in their growth potential as they age, Forbes Magazine publisher Rich Karlgaard offers highly informed &amp; highly encouraging news on this podcast. Karlgaard's insights come from compelling and broad research, but he's also a late bloomer himself. Despite having a leg up after graduating from Stanford University, he held jobs as a security guard, clerk typist and dishwasher before finding his path in his mid-20's. And, as you'll hear, his life worked out just fine. And the good news for all of us listening in, we actually get better with age, not worse.

Stephen M. R. Covey is one of the world’s experts on trust. A Harvard MBA, he’s the author of "The Speed of Trust" – a New York Times bestseller that has sold over 2mm copies. Covey had a rather uncommon upbringing; he watched his father construct &amp; later write “The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People,” one of the Top 50 best-selling books of all time – &amp; a classic in the leadership genre. From this experience came the joy of seeing his father achieve extraordinary influence &amp; success, but also the personal challenge of figuring out how to emerge from his father’s shadow, &amp; make his own mark in the world. In this podcast, Covey candidly shares the journey which led him to discovering the profound importance of trust in relationships &amp; in business. And not unlike how the word “heart” is often mistaken for being “soft” in management, Covey knows  first-hand that “trust” is often seen as being a “nice-to-have” rather than an essential leadership component. The surprise for listeners is that Covey’s years of research proves that "trust is an economic driver, not just a social value." Low-trust organizations pay a “tax" that needlessly limits their financial performance. And high-trust organizations get rewarded with a “dividend” – a performance multiplier that accelerates the speed of communications, interactions, &amp; decisions – consistently producing far greater success. Covey brings wonderful energy to this discussion that will leave you nothing short of inspired.

Esther Wojcicki knows what it takes to raise successful children. Her daughter, Susan, is the CEO of YouTube. Janet is professor of Pediatrics at the UC San Francisco Medical School (&amp; a Fulbright scholar). And Anne is co-founder &amp; CEO of DNA testing company 23andMe. But in parenting her children into super-stardom, Esther wasn't the classic "Tiger Mom" you might imagine. Instead of motivating her daughter's performance through pressure &amp; fear, she intentionally chose to inspire their high achievement by emphasizing five key values: "Trust,” “Respect,” “Independence,” “Collaboration” and “Kindness. At first glance, these values might seem soft ("Could Esther just have been lucky in raising three exceptionally successful people?"). But over a 36-year high school teaching career (California’s Teacher-Of-The-Year), Esther proved a reliance on these very same virtues consistently made her students high-achieving as well. The big question for this podcast: Could an emphasis on these five values have an equally profound effect on workplace leadership as well? You might easily guess the answer, but at 78 years old, Esther Wojcicki is still teaching.  And she has quite a lesson plan in store for you whether you're a parent wanting to raise your own successful kids -- or a manager seeking a more enlightened way of leading people.
