Maciej Kaniowski: Stop Chasing Harmony – How the Best Teams Actually Win

In this deeply thoughtful episode of the Quantum Leadership Podcast, Dr. Stephen Sideroff welcomes Maciej Kaniowski, Mentor at London Business School and former global operations leader, for a wide ranging conversation on what truly creates exceptional leadership and enduring performance. Drawing from his journey from scarcity and early combative leadership, to building world class teams in complex global environments, Maciej reflects on how leadership evolves from individual brilliance to collective responsibility. He shares formative experiences leading greenfield operations, navigating high stakes failures, and learning that teams are not constructed but nurtured. Maciej explores why high performing teams are the basic units of both performance and well being, how gravitas and presence shape culture more than authority, and why trust must be earned through behavior rather than declared as a value. He also connects leadership principles to quantum concepts such as probability over certainty, pace over precision, and influence that transcends boundaries. This episode offers rare clarity on leading through friction, managing paradox, and developing teams that deliver extraordinary results while remaining deeply human. Topics covered: The shift from combative leadership to wisdom driven leadershipWhy high performing teams are the foundation of resilience and well beingGravitas, presence, and magnetic leadership beyond hierarchyPrinciples over rules and simplicity over complexityDomesticated friction and psychological safety without nicenessKeeping ego in check as a prerequisite for growth and wisdomLearn more about Maciej Kaniowski here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maciejkaniowski https://drstephensideroff.com/quantum-leadership-podcast/ Discover my NEW BOOK and listen to Chapter 1 FREE here: ► https://drstephensideroff.com/lp/first-chapter/ Subscribe to my channel for more Like and share this video to support more in depth interviews Comment below with your thoughts Connect with me: ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephen.sideroff/ ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstephensideroff ► Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drstephensideroff/

Joe Eastin & Nelson Repenning: Leading Through Uncertainty, Trust, and Experimentation

In this thought provoking episode of the Quantum Leadership Podcast, Dr. Stephen Sideroff is joined by Joe Eastin, Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board of ISN Software Corporation, and Nelson Repenning, Faculty Director of the MIT Leadership Center, for a rich conversation on leadership in an unpredictable and rapidly changing world. Joe shares his journey from founding ISN in the early days of uncertainty to scaling it into a global organization, revealing how experimentation, trust, and resilience shaped both his leadership style and company culture. He speaks candidly about self doubt, navigating major external shocks, and why embracing a “launch and learn” mindset allowed ISN to grow without losing agility or humanity. Nelson brings a complementary perspective from decades of research and teaching at MIT, unpacking why many organizations rely too heavily on planning and control, and how adaptability emerges instead from curiosity, psychological safety, and small, well designed experiments. Together, they explore how trust becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, why leaders must learn to say no to good ideas, and how cross pollination across roles builds long term leadership capability. Blending real world experience with systems thinking, psychology, and quantum leadership principles, this episode offers practical insights for leaders navigating complexity, scale, and constant change. Topics covered: Why experimentation and fast feedback outperform rigid planningHow trust and psychological safety unlock performance and growthLeading through uncertainty, self doubt, and external crisesBuilding adaptability through cross functional experienceThe power of curiosity as a leadership and cultural superpowerWhy small changes often create the biggest organizational impact https://drstephensideroff.com/quantum-leadership-podcast/ Discover my NEW BOOK and listen to Chapter 1 FREE here: ► https://drstephensideroff.com/lp/first-chapter/ Subscribe to my channel for more Like and share this video to support more in depth interviews Comment below with your thoughts Connect with me: ► Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephen.sideroff/ ► Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstephensideroff ► Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drstephensideroff/
