S5-Ep40: WE Empower - The Women Winning the UN SDG Goals Challenge

3/17/2024
Guests: WE Empower Challenge winners Hadeel Anabtawi & Habiba Ali with Amanda Ellis While female entrepreneurs have made great strides in some countries, in the U.S. and other nations women still face significant barriers that just aren’t there for male-headed start-ups. Despite that, women leaders are making a difference by promoting positive change in their local communities – changes that can have a global impact. The United Nations recognizes several entrepreneurial women every year with their WE Empower UN Sustainable Development Goals Challenge; it promotes female founders globally who run successful businesses while supporting the UN’s sustainable development goals (SDGs). Past winners Hadeel Anabtawi of Jordan and Habiba Ali of Nigeria join Challenge co-chair Amanda Ellis to discuss their successes, their challenges…and the importance of women working with each other to overcome those challenges.

S10-Ep11: Noodling Solutions for Food Insecurity

3/5/2024
Guest: Dr. Reza Soltanzadeh (CEO & Founder of Borealis Foods) Solving a major crisis sometimes requires reframing it. For Reza Soltanzadeh, working with Doctors Without Borders exposed him to global hunger—but he saw one solution by reframing the problem as global malnutrition.

S5-Ep11: More Women on Boards

3/3/2024
Guests: Marlene Janzen Le Ber and Lynne E. Devnew (Researchers at Brescia University College & University of Phoenix) We judge female leaders differently than men; we’ll decry a woman exec displaying the exact same behavior as a male. The challenges keeping women from the C-suite and board room are systemic and complex – but the process really starts at the very beginning: how women aspire to and define leadership itself! We’re making progress: women held just over 30% of Fortune 500 board seats in 2022. That’s up from just 22.2% in 2017. With women comprising roughly half of humanity, there’s still work to be done. That’s what guests Marlene Janzen Le Ber and Lynne E. Devnew discuss with host Maureen Metcalf in this episode. From differences in how men and women express anger to how to promote (or stay quiet about) their own successes, you’ll learn about the research of boosting the number of women in the boardroom – and boosting your own career!

S5-Ep8: Democracy on the Run

2/18/2024
Are leaders letting democracy die? Less than half of the world’s nations are full-fledged democracies today. That’s down from just 20 years ago. Part of the problem is a nation’s democratic death usually isn’t dramatic or sudden; it’s often a series of subtler, slower moves such as only appointing loyalists to cabinet posts and judgeships, or threatening the press if coverage isn’t towing the party line. How does this happen in leadership? In this episode, three international thought leaders -- Matt Qvortrup, Veronika Anghel, and Mike Hardy -- discuss how a growing number of despots, dictators, and demagogues have finessed techniques to undermine democracy…and leadership strategies to strengthen democracies against them.

S10-Ep8: Love at First Slice - Pizza & Passionate Leadership

2/14/2024
Guest: Tom Krouse Lots of leaders claim their products are made with love. Donatos Pizza means it: they practice Agape Capitalism. As CEO Tom Krouse explains in this episode, Agape Capitalism puts a love of humanity at the center of their company processes and revenue generation. Its origins are rooted in founder Jim Grote’s observations as a teen working in a pizzeria with two owners: one a frugal bean counter, the other a passionate people-person. Sales soared higher the nights the people-person was in charge! Tom talks about that, his own leadership style, and the parallels between playing music in a band and great leadership.

S4-Ep9: The Dance Between Leadership & Followership

1/28/2024
Guests: Margaret Heffernan & Ira Chaleff What we need from leaders today is vastly different than even a decade ago. That change began years ago; the pandemic merely accelerated it. The reason is simple: turbulence and uncertainty are now chronic conditions. Now, guest Margaret Heffernan says, leadership is about building organizations that thrive in turbulence. She shares six steps to make that happen. Then, Ira Chaleff switches the perspective to your followers. After all, the best leadership requires the best followership. Influence is not unidirectional from leader to follower; it bounces back from the front line to the back office, too. Ira reveals how followers act with courage to collaborate with leaders -- and shares the counterintuitive idea of intelligent disobedience.

It’s hard enough to lead authentically when you don’t know who you are – but how can you motivate your team if you don’t know who they really are, either?

S10-Ep4: Law & Order...& Leadership

1/17/2024
Guests: Rob Elkington & Les Sylven To serve and protect: servant leadership takes on a whole new meaning for a law enforcement leader. Society’s expectations for policing have changed radically – for example, up to 80% of what officers do overlaps with what social workers do! Add calls for reduced funding, labor shortages, brutality…and gone are the days of simple “cops and robbers” policing. But the leadership and hierarchy of policing have changed very little. So can law enforcement truly rise to the challenges of both reform and crime without new styles of leadership?

1/10/2024
Guests: Martha Piper and Indira Samarasekera “What do you expect with a woman?” That’s the attitude our guests encountered on their leadership journeys – but, as Georgia O’Keefe said, “It takes a kind of nerve…and a lot of hard, hard work.” That nerve is exactly what Martha Piper and Indira Samarasekera developed. It served them well, with both becoming the first woman president of their respective universities. In this episode, they share tips to help other women (and men!) develop the same combination of nerve, grit, and grace that made their time as leaders so successful.
