Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 224: How Great Leaders Learn by Doing (with David Ashcraft)
Q: How would you speak to that leader and just say, hey, here's the best next step for you to get better, either personally or for your organization?
Ashcraft recommends learning in a way that fits one's personality, then taking action before feeling fully prepared. Experience creates new questions and helps leaders improve without getting stuck in perfectionism.
Ep 224: How Great Leaders Learn by Doing (with David Ashcraft)
Q: Do you think the same kind of going to school works also for personal leadership development?
Ashcraft says leaders can learn by seeking time with people they respect and observing how they think and function.
Ep 223: What If You're Waiting Too Long to Decide? (with Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten)
Q: So maybe when you were starting Wonder Project, what were you hoping it to be? What are you still hoping it to be?
She describes co-founding Wonder Project to make more ambitious, high-quality stories for a broad faith-and-values audience, including stories that restore faith in God, country, family, and dreams.
Ep 223: What If You're Waiting Too Long to Decide? (with Kelly Merryman Hoogstraten)
Q: So what did you see there that caused you want to go there? Then what was the difference and what was happening there with Blockbuster?
Hoogstraten says Netflix was willing to challenge the status quo and adapt, while Blockbuster had been successful with its existing business. She points to Reed Hastings's willingness to anticipate disruption and the company's ongoing attention to customers.
Ep 218: Developing Leaders Who Can Go Further Than You (with David Ashcraft)
Q: How do you structure a first year to set the right tone?
Hire slowly, clearly articulate why they were hired, set explicit directions, and maintain close, ongoing coaching and feedback to shape the initial trajectory.
