    Episode 88: You're the Boss with Sabina Nawaz

    We’ve always been taught that power corrupts. But lots of people have power and aren’t corrupt. What corrupts is pressure. When you’re given responsibility for managing other people, often there aren’t resources to help you manage yourself. And the pressure that any new or even seasoned manager can feel in their role can be crippling. Sabina Nawaz discovered this firsthand in her executive leadership role at Microsoft. She recounts a harrowing return from maternity leave that left her scrambling to prepare the CEO, and along the way, she found herself becoming a person she didn’t recognize. In her new book You’re the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be (and Others Need), Sabina shares an evidence-based framework for managing pressure and power with grace and intelligence, with actionable tips to help you succeed.

    Episode 87: Rethinking Work with Rishad Tobaccowala

    During the pandemic, the way we work fundamentally changed. And yet, now we see many businesses trying to reclaim the world as we knew it before, demanding employees return to the office and attempting to put the genie back in the bottle. Rishad Tobaccowala knows better. Through his weekly thought letter The Future Does Not Fit In the Containers of the Past, he offers insights and advice on how to prepare yourself for a career that accounts for new relevance, shifts in thinking, and more independence. His new book Rethinking Work examines why we need to reassess what we know, the ways to reconsider how we work, and offers advice for leaders and companies on how to prepare for what’s ahead.

    Episode 84: Making the Presidency with Lindsay Chervinsky

    The second in command in any job gets neither the attention nor the respect that the chief does. By virtue of their timing, the founders and those who came first tend to command the spotlight. And yet, those who follow them do more than continue a legacy; they need to forge their own path and determine how to create something sustainable. Lindsay M. Chervinsky, in her new book Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents that Forged the Republic, makes the case that without John Adams’ wisdom and good judgment, America as we know it might not have survived.

    Episode 82: Storyfire with Neal Foard

    Telling stories is a form of love. As Neal Foard shared in this episode, “It helps when a leader is able to communicate to the people that work for them, that they care about them. This is the power of stories. I don’t have to literally say to you I care about you…because of the stories I choose to tell, I am the type of person that cares about the fate of others.” Neal ignites the storytelling ability in others with his course, Storyfire. But more than his course, Neal’s take on storytelling and leadership is a way of life. It’s a way of being.
