Guest: Paul Austin

You never know where the next big breakthrough in leadership research will come, so we’re going to sporadically feature outlier ideas, research from the fringe. Today is our first foray, as we investigate the role psychedelics can play in leadership development.

Struggling with the dichotomy of legality and morality, Paul Austin found himself on an unexpected journey of self-discovery – a journey that led him to establish Third Wave, a platform dedicated to using psychedelics to unlock leadership potential and transform paradigms. As Paul says to host Maureen Metcalf, “If I could focus my time and energy on one thing that would move the needle the most, it would be intentional psychedelic use by the leaders who are creating the paradigms of tomorrow."

Here's what Paul and Maureen cover:

How intentional microdoses of psychedelics can propel leadership development;
Why the proper setting and having an expert facilitator for guidance is absolutely critical; and
How CEOs and other leaders are already using psychedelics to help them problem-solve in today’s new normal of chaos and disruption.

Paul’s web page contains the resources he mentioned in the interview; it’s https://thethirdwave.co/.

Paul has also written a book on the healing and development use of psychedelics. Mastering Microdosing: How to Use Sub-Perceptual Psychedelics to Heal Trauma, Improve Performance, and Transform Your Life is available on Amazon (Kindle version).

The seminal books by other researchers Paul mentioned are James Fadiman’s The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide (Kindle: https://amzn.to/410wL3g) and Michael Pollan’s How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence (Kindle: https://amzn.to/3KRgSGU).

Guest: Mike McLellan

Supply chain disruptions: they’ve been at the top of the list for leaders’ anxiety in nearly every sector for years. Will it ever get better?

Yes – if you’ve learned lessons from COVID and other supply chain disrupters. That’s the advice Mike McLellan has for leaders. A vice president of operations for DHL Supply Chain, Mike discusses the innovations DHL and others are implementing: from rapid responses to exoskeletons for warehouse workers. If your organization relies on supplies – and few organizations don’t – this is a must-listen episode!

Here's what Mike and host Maureen Metcalf cover:

How COVID-19 exposed weaknesses that had been brewing in the supply chain for years;
Why having a single-source supplier looks great on the balance sheet, but is quite costly in reality; and
The critical role of resilience for companies’ future survival.

Guest: Dr. Ciela Hartanov

Change is accelerating. Volatility continues unabated. And no business is immune. What’s a leader to do?

Develop foresight and become future-ready, of course! Ciela Hartanov joins us in this episode to detail her practical process for developing foresight. As a futurist, she’s developed many tools for probing potential paths’ future outcomes. She’s distilled those tools into her foresight process. That, in turn, helps leaders adapt their mindsets, enabling them to make their organizations future ready.

Here's what Ciela and host Maureen Metcalf cover:

The definition of foresight, and what it means for businesses;
How future-ready capabilities increase profitability and growth potential; and
Questioning whether organizations really need a C.E.O. at the top.

Guest: Tara McGowan

Misinformation and disinformation have become the lifeblood of social media – even some cable channels hungry for ratings. But, as a leader, you need hard facts and straight information.

How did we get here, and what can you do to find the good data your decisions need? Tara McGowan, founder and publisher of Courier Newsroom, notes that propaganda and disinformation have always existed…but social media’s algorithms have amplified it exponentially, creating hard echo chambers that can be hard for truth to get through. And, she says, that puts not just your business at risk, but democracy itself. Fortunately, she has some solutions!

Here's what Tara and host Maureen Metcalf cover:

How social media algorithms work – and revolutionized the spread of misinformation;
Ways leaders can recognize disinformation and halt its spread; and
3) Simple steps we can all take to be media literate.

Guests: Brenda Hampel & Erika Lamont

More than 40% of new leaders fail within 18 months. Why?

Don’t blame the leader; look at the organization instead! Most organizations don’t onboard a new leader well, if at all. They assume a person’s success at one company will automatically transfer to theirs – but there are far too many variables at play to bank on that. Instead, an onboarding plan that goes beyond HR protocols and benefits sign-up is necessary: a plan that considers company culture, history, team dynamics...even quality of life differences if the new leader is coming from out of town!

Brenda Hampel and Erika Lamont of Connect the Dots share tips, tricks, and outright wisdom from years of experience helping organizations maximize the success of their new leaders.

Here's what Brenda, Erika, and host Maureen Metcalf cover:

The three main components of a good onboarding plan;

Why overlooking help with personal transitions – including spouse and children – is a key reason for new leaders leaving your organization; and

Why how you handled your workforce during the COVID pandemic is the ultimate litmus test for a leader considering your job offer.

Guest: Betsy Myers

We may gripe about the pandemic, but it gave us one very positive change for women in the workplace: flexibility. It also highlighted for everyone that old-school leadership won’t cut it anymore. Betsy Myers says head and heart leadership is the model for today’s leaders. It fuses data-driven strategies and decisiveness with qualities such as warmth, compassion, empathy, and collaboration. In short, the head sets the purpose for an organization, but the heart engages your people to follow and bring their best selves to the team.  Here's what Betsy covers with host Maureen Metcalf:

Change is inevitable…so successful leaders embrace it;
The impacts of holding on to an old-school leadership style (and why it’s the #1 cause of leadership failure!); and
What Head-and-Heart Leadership really means.

Guest: Anne Klibanski

Healthcare begins and ends in the home. At least, it should: you’re more likely to heal a bit faster and your outlook tends to be brighter at home instead of a hospital. Further, COVID revealed and amplified medical staff burnout and other issues already brewing in our healthcare system.

It’s overwhelming for most healthcare leaders, but our guest – Dr. Anne Klibanski – tackles these issues head-on. The president and CEO of Mass General Brigham, she and her team created, and continue to develop, groundbreaking solutions for their hospitals...and, more importantly, their patients. In this episode, Anne shares those solutions and the challenges they present for leaders with host Maureen Metcalf.

Here's what Anne and Maureen cover:

The lack of patient beds and other resources COVID made clear (but remain today);

What healthcare leaders can do to resolve those issues; and

Why the old status quo for American healthcare won’t work anymore, along with the newer, better methods Mass General Brigham is creating and using.

Forget about future ready; you’re not ready for now!

Most leaders operate at a disadvantage: they don’t have a formal blueprint of their organization. Yet organizational design is vital if you want to be ready for whatever the future brings to your business. From your supply chain to internal communications, organizational design is far, far more than an org chart. In this episode, guests Eddie Moore and Mark Palmer explain how absolutely vital design is in making your business future-ready!

Here's what Mark, Eddie, and Maureen cover:

What organizational design really is;
How succession planning is built in to the very fabric of design; and
The many ways org design future-proofs your team.

Guest: Sharon Melnick

Pushy. Manipulative. Lofty.

We have a lot of negative views for powerful leaders – but that’s not what real power is about. When a leader is in their power, they raise everyone around them. It’s the difference between simply having power, and being IN your power.

With her latest book, In Your Power, Sharon Melnick explores the ways women leaders, in particular, both grow and leak their power. She discusses those, as well as how turning down an invitation to the White House led to her epiphany about giving away your personal power, in this episode.

Here's what Sharon and Maureen cover:

How and why we can redefine power as a force for good;
The three ways in which we’re not in our power; and
How burnout results not just from overwork, but from being underpowered, too.
