**This episode originally released on 9/15/2019** Who we are as people has as much to do with how we are as leaders as any other facet of our experience. The story we tell ourselves and others contributes to how we both serve and set direction. Fluent in the nuances of these talents is Peter Lynch, who joins Brian Comerford and Nick Lozano to discuss the importance of sharpening focus, failing skillfully, and finding strength in our own ugly advantage. Peter Lynch CEO & Founder Hitch...

Is it possible to tame time? The Lead.exe crew dives headlong into this conversation with special guest, Theresa Harp. An entrepreneur, coach, speech pathologist, and host of The Time Tamers podcast, Theresa is a pro at getting sh*t done - and wants to help you become one too. Our conversation delves into the feelings and emotions behind time management, the importance of communication, and just might settle the Lead.exe efficiency vs effectiveness debate once and for all (season 3 episode...

**This is a rerun of episode 27 originally released DEC 15, 2019 ** In this episode Brian Comerford and Nick Lozano are joined by special guest Roxanne Kaufman Eliot to discuss a breadth of topics contributing to the character of leadership. Key to the theme is the distinction between leadership and management - a discussion robustly supplemented with a number of supporting themes, importantly self-awareness and self-development. Roxanne Kaufman...

The not-so-new...ab...normal...normal? Since COVID-19 first rocked the world more than two years ago, leaders and the businesses they work in have gone through all sorts of changes. First there was the two week flatten the curve hiccup, then the longer-haul new normal, then a newer normal, then the new abnormal - and so on. Some writers have even compared the changes of the past few years to going through all the psychological stages of grief. One thing is certain, none of this is quite...

**This is a rerun of episode 27 originally released 4/1/20 ** Going the opposite direction of human nature should be easy, right? Not if you're human, unfortunately. As it turns out, it's oftentimes a greater advantage for us to do so if we are to make level-headed choices rather than succumbing to the heat of the moment. How we properly identify those moments is a key facet for effective leadership to guide through chaotic wrinkles of adversity, when the stakes are highest - like in a...

Are you building leaders, followers, or disciples? Is there a right or wrong time to perform any of these roles? Where is Brian? (just kidding, you can take that out). In this episode Jon and Nick explore leadership versus discipleship and, in typical Lead.exe fashion, all sorts of grey areas between. Starting with a dictionary definition of discipleship, the hosts also draw on personal experiences, infamous stories of ethical failures, and as always, a few good books to try to draw out some...

What's the easiest way to *whiz-bang-pow* tribal and individual knowledge or intuition into meaningful data visualizations and reusable code? Well, there's kinda not an easy way. In fact, it is a path often fraught with challenge, or so says special guest Ryan Deeds as he speaks with co-hosts Brian Comerford and Nick Lozano about how to provide data value to your business.

What do Tigger and improv classes have to do with becoming a better leader and developing your power skills (formerly known as soft skills)? More than you might think.

Somewhere along the lineage of Web 1.0 to Web 2.0, the Google Code of Conduct meritoriously promoted the axiom "Don't be evil." And then famously, years later, Google abandoned that mission statement.

Nick, Brian, and Jon kick off Season 4 of >Lead.exe with an interesting discussion on an idea from author Stephen Covey, that private victories precede public victories and its relation to so-called self leadership. Can we truly lead others if we are unable or unwilling to put in the work of leading ourselves?

Should you strive be efficient or effective? Is it possible to be one without the other? How about both at once? Like so many leadership principles, the answer to all these questions just might be: "yes."

Do you fix root causes or do you cover over symptoms? How do you know - do you have a process in place to drive your action? You can bet Brett Williams, Major General USAF (Ret) and co-founder of IronNet Cybersecurity, has a process.

"Innovation." It's a word routinely used across most industries today. In fact, some may say it's been over-used in recent years, perhaps because its definition has tended toward bleeding-edge technology versus simple, mindful changes that can be significant.

Resolutions, discipline, & mentorship - in that order? For this episode of >Lead.exe_ yes - or at least that's the direction taken when co-hosts Brian Comerford & Nick Lozano pontificate on those topics.

Does your organization understand its Why? Or more importantly, do your organization's People understand it? If your answer is yes, it's likely the employee experience ranks favorably among your workers, because they both comprehend their purpose and know how their efforts make an impact.
