The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/07/27

What if you paused? We live in a world that keeps getting faster — and that speed is exactly why pauses matter more than ever. In this episode I talk about four places pauses make the biggest difference: when we're communicating, when we're listening, before we decide, and as leaders overall. Because here's the thing — the pause is where leadership lives. I also share a question worth asking about your team's culture: does it reward the quick answer over the right answer? And a few ways to start

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/07/22

Why do so many organizational change efforts fall short, even when leaders know change is necessary? In this episode, Kevin talks with Kristy Ellmer about how change actually works and why successful transformation requires more than a plan, a process, or a compelling business case. Kristy explains that leaders often confuse alignment with true agreement, and that real progress begins when teams are willing to slow down, surface disagreement, and clarify how the change will happen. She also shares

The Habit-Identity Connection - Thoughts from Kevin

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/07/20

Are you what you do? James Clear says identity change is the North Star for habit change — and he's right. But it works the other way too: your habits are quietly shaping your identity. In this episode, I talk about the two-way loop between habits and identity, why "your labels, your limits" applies to how you see yourself, and what this means for the culture of your team — because culture is really just collective identity, shaped by collective habits. If you want more questions like this to

2026/07/15

What keeps teams stuck in the same conversations without making real progress? In this episode, Kevin talks with Gustavo Razzetti about why teams avoid the conversations that matter most and how leaders can help them move forward. Gustavo shares that silence often happens not just because people feel unsafe, but because speaking up feels pointless when nothing changes.

In this episode, Kevin Eikenberry explores the tension leaders face between moving quickly and rushing unnecessarily. You'll learn why context matters, how false urgency weakens real urgency, and why clear communication and timelines help create the right level of focus

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/07/01

In this episode, Kevin talks with Dr. Liane Davey about why the real challenge many teams face isn't simply workload, but "thought load". Liane defines this as the rising cognitive demands, emotional burdens, and depleted energy reserves that make work feel heavier than it may appear.

What Are You Worried About? - Thoughts from Kevin

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/06/29

Americans spend an average of 138 minutes a day worrying — that's 35 days a year lost to "what if." In this episode, I share a simple three-question framework that helps you figure out which worries deserve your attention and which ones you should just let go. It's not about pretending problems don't exist. It's about spending your mental energy where it actually counts. The three questions: 1. Is it a problem? 2. Is it important? 3. Can I change or influence the outcome? If the answer to any of

Are You Stubborn or Persistent? - Thoughts from Kevin

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/06/22

Are you stubborn or persistent? At first glance, the two words seem closely related. They can describe similar behaviors and actions. But one usually feels negative, while the other feels positive. Most of us would rather be called persistent than stubborn. And as leaders, that distinction matters. In this episode, Kevin Eikenberry explains why the labels we use shape the way we see people, interact with them, and lead them. If we label someone as stubborn, we may approach them with frustration or

2026/06/15

Last week I talked about the idea that our team members are our customers. This week, I'm taking that idea further. We spend a lot of time thinking about what we expect from our team. But expectations run both directions — do you know what your team expects from you? In this episode, I share four things that can help: thinking of your team as a customer, asking them directly what they want and need, listening without judgment, and creating a feedback loop so you can keep adjusting over time.

Stop Leading Others the Way You Want to Be Led

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/06/08

Most leaders assume they should lead others the way they would want to be led. It sounds reasonable—but it can actually limit your effectiveness. In this episode, I share a different perspective: your team members are your customers. And just like customers, they may need something different from you than what you would want yourself. If you want to become a more effective leader, it starts by understanding what your people need, adapting your approach, and creating an environment where they can do
