  • Focus on evergreen topics. Meaning they don't cover current events. Only leadership focused self improvement topics.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TLP514: What High-Performing Leaders Get Wrong About Stress with Karen Doll
Q: What signals should organizations look for to identify potential leaders beyond a traditional interview?
Assessment should be one component among many; there is no single test that guarantees future leadership performance. Look for patterns of behavior, red flags like defensiveness and accountability, and how a candidate translates thinking into work behavior across contexts.
TLP509: Capitalism Without Ethics Is Just Chaos
Q: Is there one overarching question leaders should ask themselves about capitalism to avoid cynicism and misunderstanding?
A central question is whether we truly understand what capitalism is, including its history, rules, and ethical underpinnings, rather than clinging to abstract or idealized notions.
TLP509: Capitalism Without Ethics Is Just Chaos
Q: From your perspective, what must leaders do today regarding capitalism to demonstrate and earn trust of younger people?
Leaders should avoid condemning the system, communicate clearly the positive impacts of capitalism, and be outspoken about the ethical practices that drive their success, while engaging with younger audiences transparently.
TLP509: Capitalism Without Ethics Is Just Chaos
Q: So Bill, you're the Executive Director at the Academy on Capitalism. What problem does the Academy exist to solve?
The Academy aims to fill a gap left by universities that are often hostile to capitalism, by teaching the ethical foundations of capitalism and promoting open debate and informed understanding of its outcomes.
TLP508: Your Scars Are Your Resume
Q: What's the one practical tip you would give leaders who face high-stakes decisions when information is incomplete?
Think in two modes: the irrational, emotional side and the detached, analytical war of the map; get to a point where you can observe and orient before you decide, anchoring decisions in a clear mission and the impact on others.
