Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Turning Tides: Richard Broo's Insights on Leadership and Project Recovery
Q: How do you keep leadership engaged during a turnaround under pressure?
Leadership must stay connected with the entire project, actively engage with frontline teams, and be willing to hear tough truths from those doing the work. They should avoid reacting emotionally and instead drive a structured plan with clear metrics and accountability.
Turning Tides: Richard Broo's Insights on Leadership and Project Recovery
Q: What is the first step you take when you walk into a failing project?
I perform a status check to identify what's working and what's not, then drill down to root causes and select one or two key corrective actions that will actually turn the ship around, followed by implementing disciplined processes and ensuring the right people are in the right roles.
Turning Tides: Richard Broo's Insights on Leadership and Project Recovery
Q: What were the early warning signs you spotted at GE silicones that signaled a crisis?
The market was shifting away from traditional silicones toward new initiatives that competitors were already pursuing. We saw erosion in the automotive segment due to changes like buzz, squeak, and rattle, plus emerging technologies for engine assembly where competitors were ahead. The failure to recognize these shifts early allowed margins and market share to slide, and prompted a strategic pivot.
Words that Win: Jay Heinrichs' Secrets to Persuasion and Self-Transformation
Q: What practical tips can listeners apply to avoid being manipulated by slick persuaders?
He emphasizes defining terms clearly, asking who benefits, examining sources, and using core checks like clarifying what is meant by a word; he also highlights the importance of tone and context in persuasive messaging.
Words that Win: Jay Heinrichs' Secrets to Persuasion and Self-Transformation
Q: Why did you choose to study persuasion as a lifelong pursuit, and how has it shaped your career and output?
He explains that the study of rhetoric began as a personal quest to understand how words influence decisions, marriages, and political outcomes; it evolved into a career of advising organizations and writing books that teach practical, ethical uses of persuasive techniques.
