WE Take Action

DeadThree - Coaching and Leadership Development ·

2026/10/05

Your team isn't stuck because of bad ideas. It's stuck because everyone is waiting for permission.Taking action and making mistakes is OK. Being idle is not. In episode 135, I break down WE 4 from Kyle McDowell's Begin With We, and I'll be honest: this is the one I struggle with most.You can set great standards. You can lead by example and keep every commitment. If nobody on your team is willing to move, try or risk, everything you've built is a well-organized parking lot. Ideas, strategies

Built or Destroyed One Commitment at a Time

2026/09/28

Your team is keeping score. Not on your title. On whether you did what you said you'd do.Your credibility is your brand, and it gets built or destroyed one commitment at a time. In episode 134, I break down WE 3 from Kyle McDowell's Begin With We: we say what we're going to do, and then we do it.This is the principle that decides whether the first two are real. You can do the right thing and lead by example in every meeting. Miss the delivery, and none of it counts. Follow-through is the

George is back with the second principle from Kyle McDowell's Begin With We: We Lead By Example. Using Einstein's line that example isn't the main way to influence people, it's the only way, he breaks down Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, a software engineer named Z who reset her team's standard on a Friday afternoon, and the question every leader has to answer: are you the thermostat, or are you the thermometer?In this episodeRecap of WE One — we do the right thing always — and why it

The One Standard That Holds Up Every Other Standard

2026/09/12

It's been a year since the last episode. George is back, and he's not easing in.This one breaks down principle one from Kyle McDowell's Begin With We — the standard that has to hold before any other principle in your organization works. Trust, the John Lucas story, the Tylenol crisis, and twenty years of watching corporate America choose low standards over high ones.Corporate America isn't broken because of bad people. It's broken because of bad standards. George connects that idea to a

In this episode of the DeadThree Coaching Show, we kick off 2026 by finishing a two-part conversation about getting into uncomfortable rooms—and more importantly, what it takes to stay there, grow there, and eventually belong there.Getting access is only the first step. High performers separate themselves by what they do after the door opens.This episode breaks down three defining principles that will shape who rises and who stalls in 2026: bringing value before validation, letting the room

2025/12/22

As we close out 2025 and look straight at 2026, this episode is a line in the sand.Growth does not happen in familiar rooms. It happens when you intentionally place yourself in environments where you’re uncomfortable, challenged, and not the most experienced voice in the room.In this episode, recorded on a cold Missouri walk, I unpack a core principle that will define elite leaders in 2026:You don’t grow by preparing longer. You grow by exposure.Drawing from coaching basketball, leadership

In this episode of the DeadThree Coaching Show, we start with a Duke vs. Florida basketball moment and turn it into a leadership blueprint for IT teams and organizations. Duke guard Isaiah Evans was 0-for-7 from three. Game on the line. Instead of going away from him, Coach Jon Scheyer drew up the final play for Evans — and he buried the game-winning three.That decision wasn’t just about X’s and O’s. It was about belief, confidence, and the energy a leader chooses to bring to their team.We

In the last episode, we named the silent accountability crisis—those moments when projects stall, standards slip, and no one speaks up. In this follow-up conversation, we tackle the next hard question leaders are wrestling with:How do you build real accountability without turning into a controlling micromanager?Drawing from years in the IT and software space, this episode breaks down why so many leaders unintentionally suffocate initiative, why teams stop thinking for themselves, and how to

How many times have you sat in a meeting, watched a project completely miss the mark, and silently thought:“Why didn’t anyone step up?” “Why are we settling for this?”No urgency. No honest ownership. Just quiet avoidance.In this episode, we kick off December — the reset and realign month — by naming what’s really happening in so many organizations: a silent accountability crisis.You walk through what you’re seeing across IT, software, and beyond: overwhelmed leaders, drifting teams, eroding

In this episode, George pulls back the curtain on a defining decision in his life and business: going all-in on April 1st. He frames it as his Jerry Maguire moment—the point where clarity meets courage and “good enough” stops being acceptable.You’ll hear why he’s done watching elite people walk the halls like “The Walking Dead,” why he believes IT organizations are drastically under-coached, and how he’s choosing to step out of the on-deck circle and finally take his at-bat.This isn’t just

Most leaders say they want to grow their people and build high-performing teams… but then keep doing everything themselves.In this episode, George breaks down key ideas from Dan Martell’s book Buy Back Your Time and reframes them through a leadership lens. This isn’t about becoming a “busier” entrepreneur — it’s about becoming a stronger leader who builds people, systems, and cultures that can execute without you hovering over every task.If you’re tired of spinning in the mud, exhausted

What happens when you try to lead, build, sell, strategize, and “just handle it” all by yourself? In this episode, I break down how Dan Martell’s book Buy Back Your Time quietly doubles as one of the most important leadership books you can read—especially if you’re a leader who’s stuck in the loop of doing instead of leading.I unpack why leadership without structure always ends in burnout, why so many leaders keep saying, “I’ll just do it myself,” and how that mindset caps not only their

Greatness Isn’t Built in Bursts : Part 1

What if the real measure of greatness wasn’t how high you rise — but how long you can keep showing up when no one’s watching?In this episode of the DeadThree Coaching Show, we strip away the hype and get brutally honest about what greatness actually looks like in real life — the early mornings, the unseen hours, the boring repetition, the emotional fatigue.

Ego Wants the Spotlight — Humility Wins the Game

Who Do You Want to Become?How identity, humility, and disciplined action shape your path to real greatness.This episode goes straight at a question most leaders avoid: Who are you becoming—on purpose? Not your title, not your goals, not your possessions. Your identity. Because until you define that, you’ll keep chasing outcomes that don’t change who you are.Drawing from Ryan Holiday’s Ego Is the Enemy and DeadThree’s playbook, we break the pursuit of greatness into two non-negotiables: (1)
