3 Common Leadership Challenges for Women and the Habits to Overcome Them
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.

What A Bad Leader Can Do to Your Organization
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.

When To Start Leadership Training for Your Employees
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.

Own Your Outcome: Ray Dalio Shares How to Move From Victim to Owner
Today’s discussion is with Ray Dalio, the billionaire founder of the world’s largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates. Ray is also the author of several books including his mega best-seller Principles: Life and Work which has sold well over 5 million copies. Our conversation today goes into some areas which I haven’t explored much in the previous episodes because I was a bit nervous to touch on them. These include how to balance telling the truth in a cancel culture world, how to own your own path and outcome in an environment where everyone says they are a victim, the blending of work life and government and issues around things like the Woke movement, the importance of meritocracy, and the difference between focusing on equal opportunity versus equal outcome. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.

How To Increase Your Value as a Leader
As a leader, giving your team the answers is tempting. Everybody comes to you for guidance and feedback. But the best results come from not giving your team the answer, even if you know it. If you keep giving them answers and finding the solutions for your team, you’ll become a decision-making bottleneck. When that happens, your impact as a leader gets diminished considerably. ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.

Why And How You Need To Set Boundaries At Work
There's an old saying: Good fences make for great neighbors. If you didn't have fences, there would be no boundaries, and your neighbors could come over whenever they wanted. You need to set up those similar types of fences in your organization. Setting up fences is healthy both at work and in your personal life. It allows you to protect your time and figure out the things you should be working on. One strategy for setting boundaries is to ponder and write down the answers to these questions: 1. What are your goals? 2. What projects and tasks do you enjoy doing? 3. What projects or tasks really drain you? 4. What times during the day do you feel most productive? 5. What do you need to do during the day to feel most fulfilled? 6. What are your biggest distractions? 7. What do you want your day to look like? ------------------ Get ad-free listening, early access to new episodes and bonus episodes with the subscription version of the show The Future of Work Plus.
