Plan, Brief, Execute, Debrief with Brett Williams Maj Gen, USAF (Ret)
In his discussion with co-hosts Brian Comerford & Nick Lozano, Brett shares his views on how Agile process - when done correctly - aligns with the military's disciplined method of plan, brief, execute, debrief (PBED). Perhaps most important is the one step most often skipped: the debrief (in Agile, called the retrospective). This is the phase where genuine root cause analysis openly scrutinizes performance details and exposes the areas where improvement is needed. Taking command of this discipline lays a strong foundation for defining who leaders are from what leaders do - discussed at length during the second part of the program where the three different kinds of power are also defined.

Innovation
Whatever the case, co-hosts Brian Comerford & Nick Lozano hash-out their own definitions of "innovation," inclusive of myriad examples, influencers, resources, and even discussion around a popular classification of 4 categories of innovation types. If you find yourself saddled with the word "innovation" in your title or job description, or even if you're just looking for some outside perspective on what it can mean, this may be an episode worth tuning in to.

Resolutions, Discipline, & Mentorship
Given that end-of-year is often a time of resolutions, the duo discuss how the critical leadership skill of self-awareness can extend throughout the year with personal strategies for self-development. Met with the discipline of action, gaining enough mastery of these behavioral or habitual life changes contribute strongly to furthering mentorship with those you may lead. And with so many 'virtual-mentorship' opportunities now available online, even via podcasts like this one, there is no time for self-improvement like the present.

How Leadership Affect Employee Performance

Employee Experience
Or so the discussion goes when co-hosts Brian Comerford and Nick Lozano explore the topic of "EX", an occasionally-overlooked but equally important counterpart to CX (Customer Experience). Because EX should be a strategic pillar, more than a corporate objectives checkbox, perhaps made more crucial in the post-pandemic workforce when prospective employees seemingly have so many flexible choices within their grasp. If leadership is defined in part by the amount of followership it commands, would you still choose to work at your company today if you were applying for a job - or would you even apply? Tune in to this episode to learn more.

Put a Stamp on It with Adrian Bishop
What do Sesame Street, filmmaking, and time-boxing have in common? That's right: Leadership. The focus of good direction sharpens when the mission is clear, when the budget is finite, and when time is working against your every move. But even if you're leading troops in the trenches, it's not enough to expect others to simply follow orders. More often than not, as filmmaker and Practice Studios entrepreneur Adrian Bishop shares with co-hosts Brian Comerford and Nick Lozano, you must elevate emotional intelligence into a space where you can read your audience, share your own authentic story, and know when to lead your own change from within.

And yet, many who find themselves in a position to lead others may discover that their style of messaging muddies the waters.
