The Navigating Leadership Podcast

Episode 246: How are you doing?

You have a position that says you are a leader. How are you doing? Are you really a leader? You've been given a position with a title and have been invited to the leadership table. That's great news. The bad news is that leadership has very little to do with position, and if you stay at this level, you won't succeed in leadership. In This episode, Marisa and David discuss four key aspects of leadership. If you do all four, you will be an exceptional leader. This podcast might just change your leadership trajectory.

Episode 245: When it Needs to be Said

Last week we looked at a very unique and impressive leader, Bill Tindall. This week, David went back to the Apollo program and wrote about Dr. John C. Houbolt. Houbolt was the one person who believed that a Lunar Orbit Rendezvous was the only way to land on the moon successfully and return home. In the face of brutal opposition and personal attacks, he wrote a letter to Robert Seamans, the Associate Administrator at NASA. Houbolt changed the minds of NASA. We have the history to see he was right. In this episode, Marisa and David take a look at the keys to having Crucial Conversations. Often things need to be said. The future depends on it.

Episode 241: Is it Time to Re-Board?

When companies hire people, they go through a process of onboarding. Far too often, we stress the same sterile details just like 99 % of all organizations and never point out how we are different and why working with us matters. Because of this, one-third of our new hires will look for a new job within six months. In this episode, Marisa and David discuss why onboarding and Re-Boarding are so important, and they share tips on how to do it more successfully.
