Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

303. What can veterans teach us about leadership? With Danny Wareham, Major General (Ret) Matt Smith and James Hardie

Q: What does leadership look like day to day in the military, and how does that compare to civilian workplaces?

Leadership in the military emphasizes trust, coordinated autonomy, and planned flexibility within guardrails, which translates to civilian settings as empowering people to act with clarity toward shared aims.

302. How Do You Stop Being the Person Everything Falls On? PLUS! Bot bosses, poisoned chocolate and the dumbest Teams call mistake. With Cait Donovan

Q: How do you stop being the person everything falls on without damaging your reputation?

Cait advises recognizing that you agreed to take on more by not saying no, and that you should have honest conversations to limit responsibilities and protect energy, possibly redesigning your role and practicing boundary-setting.

300. JP Morgan's sex scandal, A.I. fears and the executive presence problem. PLUS! Are diverse teams better? With Dr Jake Tuber

Q: Is this episode primarily about a single topic or a broader discussion?

It's a broad discussion that threads through leadership, technology, diversity, and organizational culture, anchored by Dr. Jake's expert insights and several topical cases.

LIVE! Is A.I. changing the way we think? With Charli Nordone, Gabrielle Dolan and Paul Spiers

Q: Where can an organization take a stance on AI use without eroding critical thinking?

Be intentional about where AI sits in the workflow, ensure human oversight, and protect critical thinking by design, using AI to handle appropriate tasks while humans remain responsible for judgment and quality checks.

298. Dry chatting, Gen-Z CEOs and toxic bosses. PLUS! The science behind 'bring your dog to work day'

Q: If people keep leaving, is it really a hiring problem?

The hosts explain that turnover in the first year is more often tied to engagement and culture; a strong onboarding and supportive climate can reduce early departures, while good hiring is still important but not sufficient on its own.
