    See the Person, Not the Position: The Power of Knowing Your People | Ep. 76 | The Science of Leadership

    In this episode of The Science of Leadership, hosts Tom Collins and Justin Hamrick dive into one of the most essential, yet frequently neglected, leadership practices: knowing your people. While it may sound simple, truly knowing those you lead requires time, intentionality, and a commitment to seeing them as human beings rather than just task-producers. The discussion explores why leadership is fundamentally relational, not transactional, and how understanding a team member's personal "story" can transform organizational culture. From tailoring rewards to avoiding the "pizza party" trap, Tom and Justin provide a roadmap for building deep, meaningful connections that drive performance. Key topics include: Defining "Knowing Your People": Breaking it down into three core pillars: understanding their human motivations, the circumstances shaping their performance, and their potential for growth. The "Tell Me Your Story" Method: Tom shares his approach to mentoring, including why he sets aside two hours to listen to a person’s real story—beyond their resume. 🔸Tailored Leadership: Why "uniform" leadership fails and why you must adapt your approach based on whether a team member needs autonomy, encouragement, or a specific type of recognition. The Science of Connection: A look at Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) theory and Self-Determination Theory, which highlight the human need for "relatedness" as a primary performance driver. The Cost of Not Knowing: How failing to understand a team member’s personal circumstances or "love language" at work can lead to burnout and talent loss. Practical Frameworks: Five concrete steps leaders can take on Monday morning to ask better questions, watch for patterns, and follow up effectively. "People remember the moments when they felt seen and valued." Join us as we unpack how to move past the superficial and develop the trust that makes people "walk through walls" for their team. Also, I want to remind listeners about the release of my book, "The Four Stars of Leadership," a culmination of over three years of dedicated work, and I'm confident it will be an immensely interesting and helpful guide on your journey to becoming a better leader.

    If Everything is a Crisis, Nothing is a Crisis | Ep. 75 | The Science of Leadership

    In this episode of The Science of Leadership, host Tom Collins welcomes back retired U.S. Navy Admiral Scott Swift, former commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet. Together, they tackle a fundamental leadership failure: the tendency to treat every operational hiccup as a five-alarm fire. Admiral Swift shares his "don't run, it startles the horses" philosophy, arguing that leaders who thrive on constant firefighting ultimately fail to build sustainable, strategic organizations.   The conversation explores the difference between being a first responder and a strategic leader, emphasizing that true leadership investment must be focused on long-term trajectory rather than day-to-day turbulence.   Key topics include: The Firefighter Trap: Why organizations that focus solely on crisis response eventually lose the ability to focus on fire prevention. The "Why, How, and What": A framework for moving beyond immediate incidents to identify systemic failures. Delegation vs. Responsibility: The critical need to delegate authority down while the leader retains ultimate responsibility. The Science of Stress: How chronic "crisis mode" elevates cortisol, reduces cognitive flexibility, and leads to team burnout. Signal to Noise Ratio: Protecting your team's attention and emotion by maintaining a calm, methodical presence. The Eisenhower Matrix: Using the "urgent vs. important" framework to categorize issues and prevent organizational "brain lock".   "It is so easy to judge because it is so hard to understand." Learn how to step out of the "crisis corner" and start leading with the foresight and composure required for elite operational success.   Also, I want to remind listeners about the release of my book, "The Four Stars of Leadership," a culmination of over three years of dedicated work, and I'm confident it will be an immensely interesting and helpful guide on your journey to becoming a better leader.

    Giving the Credit and Taking the Blame: A Leadership Must | Ep. 74 | The Science of Leadership

    In this episode of The Science of Leadership, hosts Tom Collins and Justin Hamrick dive into a deceptively simple principle that separates elite leaders from the rest: giving the credit and taking the blame. While many in leadership positions are quick to do the opposite, high-trust leaders understand that shining the spotlight outward during success and stepping forward during failure is a recipe for team excellence.   The discussion moves from the historical battlefields of D-Day to the modern medical workroom, exploring the psychological and strategic impact of ownership.   Key topics include: The Eisenhower Standard: A look at the two letters General Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote before the D-Day invasion—one praising the troops for success and another accepting sole responsibility for failure. The Science of Ownership: Why taking responsibility isn't just "noble"—it’s backed by research that shows it increases psychological safety, learning, and team adaptability. Trust and Motivation: Examining studies that prove leaders who acknowledge the contributions of others are rated as more trustworthy, ethical, and effective. Leadership in Practice: Tom shares a personal story of defending a trainee against a berating colleague, illustrating how "having the team's back" transforms culture. The Contagion of Behavior: How leadership habits propagate through an organization, either creating a "foxhole mentality" or a culture of self-protection. Strategic Humility: Why four-star generals and admirals view giving credit as a strategic tool to empower people and ensure they feel safe reporting small mistakes before they become disasters.   "What leaders tolerate becomes the culture, but what they celebrate defines the team." Learn four practical habits you can activate on Monday morning to shift your mindset from "me" to "we" and build a team that will walk through walls for you.   Also, I want to remind listeners about the release of my book, "The Four Stars of Leadership," a culmination of over three years of dedicated work, and I'm confident it will be an immensely interesting and helpful guide on your journey to becoming a better leader.

    A Masterclass in Crisis Communication with Sofie Morgan, MD MBA | Ep. 73 | The Science of Leadership

    In this high-stakes episode of The Science of Leadership, host Tom Collins sits down with Dr. Sofie Morgan, an emergency medicine physician and Associate Chief Medical Officer at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Drawing from her frontline experience in life-and-death scenarios—including managing the influx of victims from a mass shooting—Dr. Morgan reveals the critical communication strategies required when everything is on the line.   The conversation explores how leaders can cut through the "emotional contagion" of a crisis to provide clarity, steadiness, and a clear path forward for their teams.   Key topics include: The Anatomy of Crisis Communication: Why effective messaging must be clear, calm, and succinct to regulate the emotional temperature of the room. Command and Control vs. Trust: Understanding why directive leadership is essential in a crisis, and how it must be built on a foundation of pre-established trust and psychological safety. The "Individual Crisis": How leaders can identify when a team member has "frozen" in the moment and use validation and simple steps to move them back toward action. The Science of Stress: Examining research that shows clear communication can reduce time to intervention by 30% and why individuals instinctively seek authoritative cues under pressure. Practical Crisis Protocols: Concrete steps for leaders, including the "mini-pause," narrating your thought process, and closing the communication loop to ensure verification. The "Cake" Analogy: Why communication is not a "soft skill" or mere icing, but a core ingredient of effective leadership and medical care. Whether you are leading a medical team, a corporate department, or a community organization, this episode provides a scientific and practical roadmap for maintaining order in the face of chaos.   Also, I want to remind listeners about the release of my book, "The Four Stars of Leadership," a culmination of over three years of dedicated work, and I'm confident it will be an immensely interesting and helpful guide on your journey to becoming a better leader.

    Navigating the Toxic: Strategies for Dealing with Difficult Personalities | Ep. 72 | The Science of Leadership

    In this episode of The Science of Leadership, host Tom Collins and co-host Justin Hamrick tackle one of the most challenging aspects of management: dealing with difficult personalities. From the "brilliant jerk" to the "energy vampire," difficult individuals can erode team cohesion and stall organizational progress. The discussion moves beyond simple vent sessions to explore the psychological underpinnings of why certain people are difficult and, more importantly, how leaders can effectively manage them. Drawing on research and real-world experience, the hosts provide a framework for maintaining your own emotional stability while navigating interpersonal conflict. Key topics include: The Anatomy of a Difficult Personality: Identifying the difference between a high-performer with a "rough edge" and a truly toxic individual who undermines the team. The Cost of Inaction: Why leaders often wait too long to address behavior issues and the devastating impact this has on team morale and productivity. The "Mirroring" Trap: Understanding how difficult people can trigger us into reacting in kind, and how to break the cycle by maintaining professional boundaries. Communication Strategies: Practical tools for having "hard conversations," including focusing on specific behaviors rather than personal attacks. When to Walk Away: Recognizing the point at which a relationship or a team member is beyond repair and the necessity of "getting the wrong people off the bus." Self-Care for Leaders: Strategies for protecting your own mental health and energy when dealing with chronic negativity.   Whether you are dealing with a defensive peer, a disruptive subordinate, or a challenging superior, this episode offers data-driven insights to help you lead through the friction and protect your team’s culture. Also, I want to remind listeners about the release of my book, "The Four Stars of Leadership," a culmination of over three years of dedicated work, and I'm confident it will be an immensely interesting and helpful guide on your journey to becoming a better leader.

    How to Bring Brilliant Minds Together with MIT's Chris Dunphy | Ep. 71 | The Science of Leadership

    In this episode of The Science of Leadership, host Tom Collins sits down with MIT's Chris Dunphy to discuss the hidden dynamics of multidisciplinary team success. As systems become more complex, they often exceed the cognitive capacity of any single individual, making effective team cohesion a requirement for survival. The conversation centers on the Allen Curve, a research-backed phenomenon showing that communication frequency drops exponentially once team members are separated by more than 30 meters. Chris explains how "the distance of a hallway" can be as detrimental to collaboration as being in different countries. Key topics include: The Proximity Paradox: Why physical closeness remains the strongest predictor of relationship building and error catching. Social Identity Theory: The transition from individual professional identities (e.g., "I am an engineer") to a collective team identity ("We are the team solving this mission"). The Role of the "Gatekeeper": Identifying the individuals who bridge the gap between internal technical teams and the external world. Defining Success: Why the ultimate measure of a project is the strength of the relationships that remain for the next challenge. Dunphy argues that for a leader, success isn't just about finishing the task—it's about creating a culture where people feel supported, reducing burnout and enabling the team to "circle the wagons" when things go wrong. Also, I want to remind listeners about the release of my book, "The Four Stars of Leadership," a culmination of over three years of dedicated work, and I'm confident it will be an immensely interesting and helpful guide on your journey to becoming a better leader.

    Leading in Rough Waters feat. Capt. Darcie Cunningham | Ep. 70 | The Science of Leadership

    In this episode of The Science of Leadership, host Dr. Tom Collins welcomes retired U.S. Coast Guard Captain Darcie Cunningham to explore the critical role of resilience in high-stakes leadership. Drawing from her 24-year military career, Captain Cunningham shares personal stories of professional setbacks and international challenges to illustrate how leaders can not only recover from adversity but adapt to prevent future failures. The conversation bridges the gap between the science of materials—defining resilience as the ability to return to an original state after stress—and the practical application of leadership, where resilience must be followed by meaningful adaptation. Together, they break down data-driven strategies for fostering resilience, including internal strengths like optimism and external supports like mentorship. Key Discussion Points Redefining Resilience: Moving beyond the "material science" definition to a process-oriented leadership model that integrates both recovery and adaptability. The Power of "Being in the Room": Captain Cunningham discusses a pivotal career lesson on building confidence, speaking up even when you might be wrong, and why leaders shouldn't be "potted plants." The Coast Guard: Captain Cunningham reflects on being passed over for a promotion and how she leveraged that moment to demonstrate value through extra initiative. The Ironman: Dr. Collins shares a harrowing story of life-threatening dehydration during a Texas Ironman and how that moment redefined his own capacity for grit. The Scientific Impact: Exploring how resilient leaders create positive psychological climates that buffer teams against burnout and increase follower trust.   Practical Tools for Growth: Data-driven recommendations for cultivating resilience, from improving problem-solving skills to the transformative practice of "listening without seeking to respond." Also, I want to remind listeners about the release of my book, "The Four Stars of Leadership," a culmination of over three years of dedicated work, and I'm confident it will be an immensely interesting and helpful guide on your journey to becoming a better leader.

    Team Chemistry: How to Build High-Performing Teams | Ep. 69 | The Science of Leadership

    In this episode of The Science of Leadership, host Tom Collins and co-host Justin Hamrick dive deep into the imperative concept of team cohesion. Using a unique analogy from chemistry, they distinguish between adhesion—where one leader tries to hold a team together—and true cohesion, where team members are joined through mutual interaction and strong relationships. The discussion explores why "team chemistry" isn't just a sports cliche but a fundamental survival factor in high-stakes fields like medicine and the military. They break down the three pillars that create a unified team and the three consistent patterns that destroy it. Key topics include: The Drivers of Cohesion: Building a team around shared purpose, shared identity, and shared goals. The "Culture Killers": How ambiguity, lack of communication, and low relational investment dissolve team bonds. The Science of Identity: Exploring Social Identity Theory and how team performance skyrockets when individuals see the team's success as part of their own identity. The Proximity Factor: Why physical presence and in-person rituals are essential for building trust and preventing the "zoom disconnect."   The episode concludes with five practical tools leaders can use to cultivate cohesion, ranging from establishing shared rituals to modeling vulnerability and aligning incentives for collective success. Also, I want to remind listeners about the release of my book, "The Four Stars of Leadership," a culmination of over three years of dedicated work, and I'm confident it will be an immensely interesting and helpful guide on your journey to becoming a better leader.
