Thirty-five days, 14 hours, and 3 minutes. That’s how long it took Jason Caldwell and the crew of the American Spirit to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean during the perilous 2016 Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge—or, as it’s known to those who attempt it, “The World’s Toughest Row.” They not only succeeded but set a world record. This treacherous, man-powered journey required an exceptional team. But it also demanded extraordinary leadership, executed by the type of leader people are willing to risk not just their careers—but their lives—to follow. Jason Caldwell is the founder of Latitude 35, a leadership training firm that operates around the globe. He works with organizations including Nike, Booking.com, Columbia Business School, and the Haas School of Business and delivers speaking programs to packed crowds at Fortune 500 companies and universities worldwide. A professional adventure racer, Caldwell currently holds over a dozen world records across five continents.  Navigating the Impossible Topics During this interview, Jason and I discuss the following topics: His trip across the Atlantic OceanWhy teams don’t need all the “best” people on themHow he goes about picking new members of teamsWhy reviewing “chaos” is so important to team buildingHow leaders can rid their team of negative egosThe importance of employing individuals with their strengthsHow leaders can quit like winners For the complete show notes, be sure to check out our website: https://leaddontboss.com/113

Toxic leaders, they are everywhere. In fact, they are not worth being referred to as leaders, instead I like to refer to them as bosses. These horrible examples of leadership are too often the result in people quitting and ultimately organizations crumbling. Mark Tinsley is a US Army Officer, and leadership coach and consultant. With many poor examples of leadership and many examples of toxic leaders, Mark embarked on a journey to help the world rid itself of toxic leadership. Now he works with organizations large and small to help them remove toxicity from their workplace and replace it with true leadership. Toxic Leadership Topics During this conversation, Mark and I discuss the following topics: What Toxic Leadership isWhere toxic leaders come fromHow organizations can ensure that they pick people who would be successful leadersHow leaders can check to see if they are a toxic leaderHow leaders can operate as the "shield" from a toxicHow to stand up to a toxic leader For the complete show notes, be sure to check out our website: https://leaddontboss.com/112

Leaders and their people are constantly under heavy strain. Day in and day out, they are placed under stressors to achieve more with less. Eventually these stressors become too much for any person - leader or follower. We all need to figure out ways to destress and relax but sometimes people can take destressing to the extreme.

A cultural evolution is a complex undertaking and isn’t something you hire a consultant to lead or that you purchase off the shelf. If people within the organization don’t believe in the culture change, aren’t involved in it or simply don’t understand it, it will fail. Leaders need to prepare their organization for cultural evolution by answering the “why this and why now?” questions and providing a foundation upon which the activity required to deliver the change can be built. Colin Ellis is a renowned culture change expert with 30-plus years of helping transform organizations around the world. Whether it's the way that projects are delivered, how teams work together or how to change the DNA of an organisation He provides practical information on how to make change easy. He uses case studies, experience and plenty of humour to keep people engaged and laughing!  Culture Fix Topics During this interview, Colin and I discuss the following topics: The motivation behind his bookHow to inspire a culture change mindset into an organizationHow a leader’s personality and communication style impacts cultureHow leaders can develop and implement a visionWhy values are so important to cultureHow to behaviour impacts cultureHow innovation impacts an organization’s cultureHow to make a new culture stick in the long term For the complete show notes, be sure to check out our website: https://leaddontboss.com/109

Bad-boss behavior stems from all-too-common leadership tendencies we carry within us: hubris, arrogance, and a proclivity to abuse power. Let them go unchecked for too long, and your reign as a leader is toast. In a world where leadership seems to be about who’s the loudest and most outlandish, we’re all one step away from being that “leader gone wild.” Captain John "Coach" Havlik, U.S. Navy SEAL (Retired), led special operations teams around the world during his 31-year naval career, including the Naval Special Warfare Development Group, the SEAL’s most elite operational unit. Captain Havlik was a nationally ranked swimmer and is a member of the West Virginia University Sports Hall of Fame and Mountaineer Legends Society.  The Leadership Killer Topics During this interview, John and I discuss the following topics: Why he decided to join the US Navy, in particular the SEALsThe greatest leadership lessons from being a SEALHow he has taken these lessons to the “real world”Why humility is so important to leadersThe characters of The Killer and General HubrisHow leaders can ensure that their ego doesn’t grow too muchHow leadership starts from the bottomThe best ways to live leadership daily For the complete show notes, be sure to check out our website: https://leaddontboss.com/108
