Chess Not Checkers: Elevate Your Leadership Game

Red Taped ·

2019/01/13

Bargain bins are usually home to knock off sneakers, workout DVDs, XXXL- or XXXS -sized clothing, expired gourmet condiments, and misfit toys, but this week we struck gold by finding a copy of the management fable, Chess not Checkers by Mark Miller. This short fictional story about Blake, a former douche turned CEO, carefully balances leadership insight with cheesy story-telling. This is a fun discussion that includes, multiple movie/tv quotes, fond memories of our former purveyor of ointments,

State of the Pod

2019/01/01

The holidays are upon us and we have been making ready for the long winter ahead by developing a thick layer of bearcat blubber. In the long tradition of radio shows, TV sitcoms, and podcasts, we present you with our holiday episode. In lieu of the usual end of year rankings, we are revisiting our previous “tape (like) or toss (dislike)” verdicts and attempting to provide very short summaries of each book we covered during 2018. (Yes, all 8 books, a truly massive undertaking). To wit, we are

Emotional Intelligence 2.0

Red Taped ·

2018/12/17

It was a tough week in bearcat country. To get through this episode, your fearless hosts had to dig deep and feel feelings, which is a very overrated experience. Fortunately, we were supported by the thoughtful words of our super fan, BearcatFan#1. We also remember H.W. Bush, dance with the green fairy, pay a welfare check on Darrell Hammond, find out which host has more EQ, and ponder the existence of a Red Taped curse. Please join us as we discuss Emotional Intelligence 2.0 by Travis

The No A**hole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace...

Red Taped ·

2018/12/03

Everyone has one but don’t be one; this week we are talking about a-holes. Is one too many, not enough, or just right? We also search for the cause of all conflict (a local taco shortage?!), launch the now defunct Red Taped Consulting Firm, rant about TMI in email signature blocks, discover exotic whiskey pairings, and one bearcat gets forever lost in moonshine-induced memories of the ole Smokey Mountains. Please join us as we review the No A**hole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and

Playing with Fire

Red Taped ·

2018/11/18

This week we discuss Playing with Fire by Scott Lazenby and introduce you to Ben Cromarty, city manager of Trillium, Oregon and original bad-boy MPA. When he is not picking fights with unions, circumventing city council rules, or backpacking in the midst of winter, you can find him in his office seducing middle-aged women via his government-official email. This book is among the best public management case-studies we have read and weaves in valuable lessons about budgeting, political strategy,

Trailer: Playing with Fire

Unfortunately, Inside Bureaucracy almost took us out. Fortunately, the magnificent and magical phoenix that is Red Taped was reborn this week in the fictional flames of Playing with Fire by Scott Lazenby. Since we are taking a break from our normal genre of books, we are providing you, our listener(s?), with a short trailer. Get the book and join us this Sunday for the full episode.

Inside Bureaucracy

Red Taped ·

2018/11/05

How do the Red Taped bros tackle a classic academic tome on bureaucracy? We have a simple three-step approach. Step 1: Take an unplanned three-month sabbatical to get your head right. Step 2: Reach for your top-shelf scotch. Step 3: Attempt a serious conversation for approximately 20 minutes before traversing a downward spiral of somewhat pertinent pop-culture references. This week we discuss Inside Bureaucracy by Anthony Downs. 22 minutes in, we drop our academic pretense and travel to Indiana,

Who Moved My Cheese?

Red Taped ·

2018/10/23

Q. What pairs best with cheap cheese? A. Apparently, bureaucrat tears. This week we drink several bottles of wine, get emotional, regret major life decisions, opine on the wonders of guava paste, and think deeply about change. We also get a visit from 50’s dad, who is still trying to make friends and influence them. It is time to quit your hemming-and-hawing and join us for our review of Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson, M.D. Please consider sniffing and scurrying over to our twitter

How to Win Friends and Influence People

Red Taped ·

2018/10/10

Fun fact: Bearcat urine smells like buttered popcorn. Sad fact: Bureaucrats smell like burnt popcorn, old coffee, and loneliness. Don’t worry about this unfortunate situation because we have your back. This week we drink like Don Draper, suffer subway shame, exchange vintage marriage advice, and review How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. Drink: Old Fashioned Whiskey Cocktail: http://www.drinkboy.com/cocktails/Recipe.aspx?itemid=121 with Michter’s US 1 American Whiskey

Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun

Red Taped ·

2018/09/29

Water your horse and gather around the Red Taped campfire. This week we reminisce about Ross Perot, search for milk of the mare, debate the efficiency of equine-based microwave technology, and plan for the end. We also read the management cult classic, Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun by Wess Roberts, PhD. Hold on tight! This one gets a little weird… Drink: Hugo cocktails https://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/hugo-cocktails/ (Note, If you can’t find elderflower cordial, use St

Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win

2018/09/23

Squirter: A person, assumed to be an enemy, running away from a military attack. Alternative: A reluctant bureaucrat turned podcaster running away from the microphone. This week we read Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win by Jocko Willink and Leif Babin. In hindsight, we should have saved one of our all-time favorite books for a later episode and picked authors that don’t scare us. Lesson learned. Please join us for our first fumbling, awkward, and oddly sticky attempt at

2018/09/23

The Red Taped Podcast was born during a post-work happy hour that went several hours too long. In this episode, your hosts, Andy and Larry, briefly introduce the show's vision and accidentally stumble across our quasi-official mascot.
