How to Unify a Divided Team - Thoughts from Kevin

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/10/05

A unified team sounds like a dream. But unity might not be what you think. It isn't compliance, and it isn't everyone getting along all the time. Unity is a choice people make, one person at a time, one day at a time, based on what they see and feel from you and others on the team. You can't require it, but you can absolutely influence it. In this episode, I share four ways to build unity on your team: point people toward a shared purpose, invest in relationships, set clear agreements and

The Leader's Role in Navigating Negativity - Thoughts...

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/09/28

Should leaders be the morale police? Persistent negativity is a problem for teams, and leaders do need to navigate it. But I don't think policing it is the answer. In this episode I share five reasons why, and what to do instead. It comes down to modeling the morale you want, paying attention to context, acting before negativity becomes persistent, and focusing on behaviors rather than labels. If you found this useful, I think you'll enjoy my free newsletter, Your Remarkable Day. It comes three days

What do leaders need to understand about how beliefs shape people's responses to change? Kevin sits down with Owen Fitzpatrick to talk about the idea of "inner propaganda" and why changing beliefs requires more than logic, evidence, or data. Owen explains that for a new belief to take hold, it first needs to feel right, fit with a person's identity, and then make sense. They discuss five kinds of truth—objective, past, emotional, shared, and desired—and how they shape how people see the same

2026/09/14

Do you have a training calendar? Great — but that doesn't mean you have a learning culture. In this episode, I break down what a learning culture actually is: the way we do things around here, when it comes to learning. I share five things you can do to help build (or evaluate) that culture in your own organization — reframing learning, recognizing it, promoting questions, celebrating progress, and allowing mistakes.

What If We Don't Have Time for Training? - Thoughts...

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/09/08

"We don't have time for training." I hear it constantly — and honestly, that's okay. Training isn't the only tool in your learning toolkit. In this episode, I share four ways to build development into the work itself, without blocking extra time: creating reflection time, building learning channels, encouraging people to share what they're learning, and applying today's tools. None of these replace training — but they don't require it either. Speaking of learning without blocking off extra time: you

Are You Walking the Talk? - Thoughts from Kevin

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/08/31

When you're training leaders, here's a question worth asking yourself: are your people watching you do the things you're asking them to do? In this episode, I talk about why it's not whether someone attended a training that matters. It's whether they're taking action on it. And if you want your people to actually change their behavior, there are two questions you have to answer honestly: do they know what's expected, and are you modeling it yourself? Words and knowledge matter. But behavior matters

How can leaders use data to make better decisions and drive real change? In this episode, Kevin talks with Sebastian Wernicke about why so many organizations invest heavily in data and AI yet still struggle to achieve breakthrough results. Sebastian explains the difference between being data-driven, data-frustrated, and data-inspired. He believes that data should not only confirm and optimize what organizations already do but also challenge assumptions, reveal unexpected possibilities, and inspire

Two Conversations You Aren't Having - Thoughts from...

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/08/24

You send people to training. They come back, and... nothing changes. So whose fault is that — the training? The trainer? The learner? Actually, there's a fourth option: you. There are two conversations every leader should be having around any training their team attends — one before, one after — and most of us aren't having either one consistently. In this episode, I walk through exactly what to say and ask in both conversations, so the training you're investing in actually turns into changed

How can leaders adapt their approach to give people what they need in each specific situation? In this episode, Kevin is joined by Suzie Bishop and Sam Shriver to revisit situational leadership and discuss why this decades-old model may be more relevant than ever. They explain how effective leadership begins by clearly identifying the task, skill, or behavior involved, then assessing an individual's ability, confidence, commitment, and motivation before choosing the right leadership response

Beating the Forgetting Curve - Thoughts from Kevin

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/08/17

How much do you forget after you learn something? A lot — probably more than you'd like to admit. Whether it's a training session, a podcast, a book, or a video like this one, most of what we learn slips away faster than we expect. In this episode, I share four things you can do to remember more and forget less: focus on the key points, make them findable, use spaced repetition, and have a learning partner. If we know we're going to forget the things we learn, let's have a plan for remembering the

Creating a Connected Culture with Dr. Jamie Shapiro

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/08/12

I can bet you want two things: a thriving team and a thriving culture. For a lot of us, they feel like a mirage — we can see them, but we can't quite get there. In this episode I sit down with Dr. Jamie Shapiro, author of Connected Culture: The New Science for Thriving Teams and Cultures, CEO coach, and organizational psychologist. We dig into why she calls culture an "operating system," her five C's model (with connection — care and trust — at the center), why clarity is a force multiplier and not

Why Training Doesn't Stick - Thoughts from Kevin

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast ·

2026/08/10

Do you ever wonder why training doesn't stick? It's rarely about the quality of the training itself. In this episode, I break down the three things that have to happen for new skills to actually change how someone works — and why that almost never happens without help from their leader. I'll give you three specific questions to ask in a post-training one-on-one that close the knowing-doing gap and make training stick. Want more like this every week?

Kevin sits down with Karina Mangu-Ward to discuss the habits that help teams thrive in complex and uncertain environments.

Silent Expectations Aren't Expectations at All -...

2026/08/03

Have you ever been frustrated because someone on your team didn't do what you expected — but you never actually told them what you expected? In this episode, Kevin breaks down the "silent expectation" problem: why it guarantees future disappointment, why your assumptions aren't obvious to anyone but you, and why the fix starts with getting clear in your own head before you can get clear with your team. Unclear expectations are one of the biggest hidden costs in any organization — showing up as
