Team culture will always impact team performance. Dr. David Burkus joins Kevin to talk about the importance of teams in organizations and how they play a crucial role in making things happen.

He also shares the three key elements for effective teams: common understanding (empathy), psychological safety (trust and respect), and pro-social purpose (feeling that one's work contributes to a larger whole).

07 Aug 2019The Sponsor Effect with Sylvia Ann Hewlett00:33:16

A sponsor is different than a mentor. A sponsor believes in your value, advocates for you, and allows you to take risks and has your back if you fail. Kevin sits down with Sylvia Hewlett, author of THE SPONSOR EFFECT: How to be a Better Leader by Investing in Others. They talk about the differences between a sponsor and a mentor. Sylvia also shares real-life examples of the sponsor/protégé relationship. She stresses that this isn’t a one-way relationship. Data shows that leaders who become a sponsor are more likely to receive a promotion.

In this episode, Sylvia shares:

1. Her definition of a sponsor.

2. A 7 step process to becoming a sponsor.

3. Advice on how to identify your own sponsor.

27 Nov 2020Do You Feel Like an Impostor? - Thoughts from Kevin00:07:14

I

f you are watching or listening to me now, you have achieved some level of success. And if you are leading others, it is logical and obvious that you are doing some things right.

Yet many leaders feel they have arrived not because of experience, skill and wisdom, but by luck or the ability to “fool” others.

If you ever feel this, welcome to the imposter syndrome.

According to The International Journal of Behavioral Science, researchers estimate that 70% of people have experienced the imposter syndrome.

If you underestimate your knowledge, experience and competence…

When you feel like you are faking it, you live in fear. And it isn’t helpful or factual.

In this episode, I’ll share five simple steps to help combat imposter syndrome.

Tweet it out: The imposter syndrome is real, and it doesn’t serve you. Recognize when you feel it and take positive steps to overcome it. @KevinEikenberry

19 Jul 2023Beyond the Bias with Andrea Kramer and Alton Harris00:37:12

Gender bias and inequality in the workplace is not a new problem.

Only 12% of paid executive officers in publicly held companies are women. Andrea Kramer and Alton Harris join Kevin to discuss their approach to addressing this problem. They argue that traditional anti-bias training programs are ineffective. You can’t tell someone, don’t do that. Instead, they suggest eliminating exclusionary behaviors and biases from organizational policies and practices.

10 Jul 2020Helping Others Apply Your Feedback - Thoughts from Kevin00:07:20

When we give feedback, it is with the hope that the person on the receiving end will take action on that feedback. But giving feedback isn’t a one-and-done action. It’s a journey that has many steps along the way.

So before we (or should I say ‘they’) get to action, we must realize the emotions they will go through after hearing the feedback.

Once you understand the emotions, there are four steps you can take to help others apply your feedback.

Tweet it out: Effective feedback isn’t a hit and run – it is a journey. If you want to get to the destination you have to travel with the other person. @KevinEikenberry

The dreaded presentation. The word may cause you to feel some anxiety because you are the presenter or you because you are in the audience.

Managers have the opportunity and the responsibility to lead. Lisa Haneberg joins Kevin to discuss the 2nd edition of 10 Steps to Be A Successful Manager.

The second edition is also aligned with ATD survey-based research on social skills. She shares practical ways to become a successful manager, like tapping into your team’s intrinsic motivation and being ready to flex as the normal, chaotic business happens.

In this episode, Lisa discusses 1. Clear behavioral expectations. 2. Team agility. 3. Accountability vs. Engagement.

09 Oct 2019Helping People Change with Melvin Smith00:35:00

If you lead a department, a team, or a person (or family), you have probably had a coaching moment. Kevin is joined by Melvin Smith, co-author of Helping People Change: Coaching with Compassion for Lifelong Learning and Growth. Often, we coach to fix something or fill a learning gap. When we coach for compliance, however, we trigger a physiological response that leads to defensiveness and our feedback works against us. Melvin believes we need to start with the person and find out what they want to do/be. We want to trigger a positive physiological response, which opens people up to more creative thinking and sustainable change.

In this episode, Melvin discusses 1. Coaching vs. helping. 2. Emotional attractors. 3. Personal vision statements and balance sheets.

Remarkable Dialogue

Ask yourself: Are you coaching for compliance or with compassion?

1. Inhibitors to thinking.

2. The power of questions.

3. The importance of acknowledgment.

12 Apr 2023Where Creativity Meets Innovation with Deepak Ohri00:31:10

Time is valuable and powerful, so it's important to add value to everyone we meet and serve. Deepak Ohri joins Kevin to discuss the power of luxury and how it relates to getting better. Spoiler alert, luxury is not always defined by price or profit but rather by the experiences and emotional connections it provides. FOMO (fear of missing out) can hold us back, but FOPO (fear of people's opinions) can also prevent us from moving out of our comfort zone. Acknowledging failures and growing from lessons learned is key to personal and professional growth

Key Points

  • Deepak Ohri shares his view of luxury. 
  • He talks about creativity meeting innovation. 
  • He discusses transcending trends and advice on how we can get better.

20 Dec 2023How to Pay Attention in a Distracted World with Christian Madsbjerg00:37:00

A lot is going on out there. How can we pay better attention in a distracted world? Christian Madsbjerg joins Kevin to discuss the importance of observation and attention in leadership. Madsbjerg explains that observation is the practice of carefully and empirically studying humans to understand their experiences and behaviors. He emphasizes the need for leaders to set aside their opinions and preconceived notions to just describe what they see. Madsbjerg also introduces the concept of hyper-reflection, which involves observing how others observe and think. He encourages leaders to make time for observation and reflection, as these practices can lead to a deeper understanding of customers, teams, and social dynamics.

18 Jul 2018Building a Peak Performance Organization with Chris McGoff00:32:51

The first is the story of a CEO and her team—all based on real people— and how together they achieved a peak performance culture at their company despite the odds.

08 Jul 2020Cracking the Leadership Code with Alain Hunkins00:30:02

The Industrial Age. Workers came into the factories and were told what jobs to do and how to do them. And for the time, this worked. However, we know the world and our work has changed, yet many leaders still operate under this model. I guess that’s why only 23% of the leaders are deemed effective. Alain Hunkins is the author of Cracking the Leadership Code: Three Secrets to Building Strong Leaders. He joins Kevin to talk leadership mindset and observations he has made from firsthand experiences leading leadership trainings for tens of thousands of leaders within hundreds of companies.

17 Mar 2021The Mindsets and Habitsets of Leadership with Darrin Gray00:48:02

Often, we see grit as something hard-nosed. However, Darrin Gray believes our grit should be fueled by joy. Darrin serves as Chief Marketing Officer at Athletes in Action and leads AIA’s NFL Advisory Council. He started in the newspaper business, where he felt he was creating a community. He has carried this idea of community and building a team throughout his career. A winning team isn’t about themselves but is a coalition of the willing. These are individuals who not only want to become better (players, leaders, parents) but are willing to help each other build the best version of themselves. Leaders not only need self-awareness, but a mindset and heartset to meet people where they are.

20 Nov 2020Gratitude - Now More Than Ever - Thoughts from Kevin00:05:21

I won’t go into the brain science, but it is a fact of neurology that the brain cannot be in a state of appreciation and a state of fear at the same time. The two states may alternate, but are mutually exclusive.

So when people say they are too blessed to be stressed, they are actually right.

But let’s step back a moment.

We have plenty of reasons to be stressed. I don’t need to list them all for you here – but I am certain you have a list. And maybe now, our lists seem longer than ever – work, family, external forces and more.

We know that stress and anxiety negatively impact our productivity and relationships – and when we need those things most, we might not be able to access them.

Enter gratitude.

I’ve written and talked about gratitude a lot over the years. Below you will find a link to my collection of articles.

Now I’m urging you to consider gratitude for three simple reasons – now more than ever.

Tweet it out: Being grateful is good for more than your soul – when you are grateful you lower your stress and blood-pressure. You will feel better and be better equipped to succeed for the day. @KevinEikenberry

23 Dec 2020Lessons From Bold Leaders That Changed History with Jan-Benedict Steenkamp00:35:52

We can use the past to think about leading today and the future. The means may be different (hello social media), yet the principles are similar. Jan-Benedict Steenkamp is Massey Distinguished Professor of Marketing at the University of North Carolina and author. His latest book is Time to Lead: Lessons for Today’s Leaders from Bold Decisions That Changed History. JB looks at leadership through a historical and marketing lens. After all, aren’t leaders trying to brand themselves as someone to follow? JB and Kevin discuss some of history’s most decisive leaders and events and ties it to today’s leadership methods. JB also shares seven leadership styles. There is no one right leadership style, as history shows all can be successful. However, you cannot be a good leader if you are not authentic.

13 Dec 2017Leadership Lessons From the Kellogg Brothers with Dr. Howard Markel00:34:11

In this episode of The Remarkable Leadership Podcast, we get the chance to boost our trivia knowledge with a history lesson. Dr. Howard Markel, the author of The Kelloggs The Battling Brothers of Battle Creek, joins Kevin to discuss the story of the Kellogg brothers; their relationship and the building of an empire. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg was the big brother and one of America’s most beloved physicians. In his time, he was a best-selling author, lecturer, health-magazine publisher; and founder of the famed Battle Creek Sanitarium. His youngest brother, Will, who worked with him became the founder of the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company, which revolutionized the mass production of food and what we eat for breakfast. Their dynamic and strained relationship help us identify different leadership strengths (and weaknesses) and dependence on each other for success.

21 May 2021What Do You Wear to Work? - Thoughts from Kevin00:06:45

As long as I’ve been in the workplace, there’s always been a conversation about the dress code. In fact, when I first started working for Chevron, I was handed a copy of “Dress for Success” as part of the onboarding process.

Since then, the conversation has moved from “Casual Friday”…to casual every day…to the day when everyone was sent home to work and the dress code as we knew it changed significantly.

Now before you think this post and this video is about fashion, let me reassure you, it’s not. Instead, in this episode, I’m talking about how what we choose to wear has some pretty big implications far beyond what style of clothing is our favorite.

Tweet it out: Your choice of what to wear to work (even when at home) may have more implications than you realize for yourself and how you are perceived by others. @KevinEikenberry

04 Feb 2022A Four-Letter Word to Be Careful With - Thoughts from Kevin00:04:52

In this episode, we’re talking about a four letter word, a four letter word to be careful with.

And that word is lazy.

Lazy is a word of judgment. It’s something that we see inside of their behavior. It’s something that we infer about their intentions.

Like just because someone’s laying on their couch right now, does that necessarily mean they’re lazy? I don’t know. All I know is there’s a difference between judging and observing, and the word lazy is typically used as a word of judgment.

So we use it on others. And then once we’ve labeled them as lazy, it changes our perspective about them and we use it on ourselves. Now, I used to say to myself, if I didn’t get up, when I’d plan to that I’m lazy.

Now I try to remember to say not that I’m lazy but that I didn’t get up when I planned to. Those are two different things. They have two different inferences about myself. And so here’s my point. The word lazy is a label that rarely serves us, whether we’re thinking about ourselves or whether we’re thinking about someone else.

Because the fact is, we’ve all been lazy. But no one is always lazy. Lazy is a choice or maybe a habit, but it’s not a character trait.

Tweet it out: Be careful with using the word ‘lazy’ – because it places judgment that could be incorrect and is seldom helpful for anyone. @KevinEikenberry

04 May 2022Write to Influence with Carla Bass00:37:15
Communication is important and persuasive writing is a skill anyone can possess. Colonel Carla Bass joins Kevin to discuss what good writing does. Good writing helps influence. This includes budget approvals, appropriation of funds, and promotions, to name a few. Carla suggests finding the fun in writing. Everyone is a storyteller; you know the journey for your audience.

Key Points

  • Carla Bass discusses influence as the goal of our writing.
  • She shares advice on the “right” length of the message and the importance of outlines.
  • She provides word sculpting tools, like verbs are your friends and don’t use the words that hog space.

Meet Carla

  • Name: Colonel Carla Bass, USAF (Ret)
  • Her Story: Colonel Carla D. Bass, USAF (Ret), is the author of the multiple award-winning book Write to Influence! now in its second edition. Throughout her 45-year career (30 in the Air Force and 15 with a federal agency), she composed items sent to Congress, the White House, generals, and ambassadors; hundreds of performance reviews; awards nominations; and budget justifications. Carla’s assignments included Germany, Bulgaria (as the defense and air attaché), Turkey, Korea, and Washington, D.C.
  • Worth Mentioning: As a squadron commander, Carla transformed her 480-person unit from the most losing in state-wide, professional awards into the one to beat. She developed her writing methodology and taught her troops to write. So successful was her program, she taught thousands of Air Force members for the next 15 years. Her battle cries are twofold: 1) “Powerful writing changes lives” and 2) “Powerful writing is the lifeblood of successful organizations”.

27 Apr 2022How to Stop Complacency and Improve Performance with Len Herstein00:37:13
Are you successful? Do you know that success can lead to complacency? Complacency can decrease productivity, create mistakes, and impact the bottom line – it costs money. Len Herstein sits down with Kevin to discuss the dangers of complacency and why vigilance enables us to remain successful. Self-awareness is a start. When we become predictable, either personally or in our organizations, it becomes easier for a competitor to take over. We need to be strategically unpredictable and develop habits that minimize overconfidence.

Key Points

  • Len Herstein discusses complacency vs. vigilance and how we notice if we are becoming overconfident.
  • He shares the OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act).
  • He talks about metrics and unintended consequences.

Meet Len

  • Name: Len Herstein
  • His Story: Len is the author of Be Vigilant! Strategies to Stop Complacency, Improve Performance, and Safeguard Success. He is on a mission to empower organizations and individuals to protect the success they’ve worked so hard to achieve. Len has a 30+ year history in business, marketing, and entrepreneurism–working in brand marketing for Coca-Cola, The Campbell Soup Company, and Nabisco before founding Manage Camp (a business conference producer).
  • Worth Mentioning: In 2015, Len answered a higher calling to public service when he became a Reserve Sheriff’s Deputy in Douglas County, Colorado, where he works up to 850 hours a year as a state-certified peace officer on the patrol team – for free. Len quickly realized he was learning valuable lessons through his law enforcement training that applied directly back to his business. The most important lesson, and one of the very first he learned, was the concept that complacency kills, and vigilance saves

05 Jun 2019The Connectors Advantage with Michelle Tillis Lederman00:36:32

Studies show that 92% of people trust referrals and you are four times more likely to buy from someone who was referred. This makes sense to Michelle Tillis Lederman, author of The Connector's Advantage: 7 Mindsets to Grow Your Influence and Impact. In her early career, she realized that relationships are critical to your success, health, and happiness. However, this isn’t all about the warm fuzzies. Connectors have a certain way of thinking and acting that enables stronger connections. Building that skill can get us to faster, easier, and better. Michelle shares with Kevin that when leaders focus on building connections, relationships and loyalty with their teams, they impact the bottom line.

In this episode, Michelle discusses 1. Levels of connectors. 2. The introvert edge. 3. The trust mindset.

24 Mar 2021From Suck to Success with Todd Palmer00:33:38

Do you ask for the help you need? As a leader, we are often self-reliant. The success of our teams and organizations rests on our shoulders, we better be the ones making the decisions. Todd Palmer hit rock bottom and needed to redefine success. Todd is CEO/Entrepreneur of Diversified Industrial Staffing and the author of From Suck to Success: A Guide for Extraordinary Entrepreneurship. He joins Kevin to talk about his journey of self-awareness and shifting mindsets. He needed to ask for help and to become accountable for his decisions. Once he got over the fear of failure and recognized it as a learning opportunity, he was able to shift the culture of his company. Todd also shares hiring advice and how things have changed (or not) since the pandemic.

10 May 2019What Are You Waiting For? - Thoughts from Kevin00:05:01

Today I am talking about a lesson I learned in reading a quote from the Theologian John Henry Newman:

“Nothing would be done at all if a person waited until he/she could do it so well that no one could find fault with it.”

And here’s the reality – someone will ALWAYS find fault in one thing or another. But that’s not all bad. What is bad is when we frame it as “fault” and not “feedback for improvement”.

We need to stop waiting and start doing.

24 Feb 2025Is Right the Right Answer? | Thoughts from Kevin00:03:49

Are you always searching for the right answer? As leaders, we are often taught to look for definitive answers, but what if the best approach isn't about being right, but being flexible?

In this episode of Remarkable TV, Kevin Eikenberry challenges the idea that there's always a single correct answer. Instead, he encourages leaders to focus on good, possible, or even the best available choices—especially in a complex and uncertain world.

15 Apr 2022Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket - Thoughts from Kevin00:05:18

Now, you might already know that I grew up on a farm, and so I have plenty of farm phrases in my vernacular. Some of these phrases wouldn’t make any sense to you. But some of those farm phrases are things you’ve either heard before or maybe even heard here on this blog last week. You can watch that episode right here.

So last week we talked about making hay, and today we’re talking about gathering eggs, and specifically about not putting all your eggs in one basket.

Now, I don’t have nearly as much personal experience with eggs as I do with making hay. But think about it for a second. If you’ve got a basket that you’re using to collect eggs and as you’re putting them in one cracks. Well then, you have a problem. Even worse, if you drop the bucket, you lose all the eggs.

So what’s the point for us as leaders? Well, there are several things for us to think about here. And I’m starting the video with one of my favorite thoughts in business: One is a dangerous number.

Tweet it out: One can be a dangerous number. Look for multiple options, multiple solutions, and multiple paths to your success. @KevinEikenberry

In today’s episode, I’m finding a leadership lesson from a question that my wife asked me recently about one of my favorite things.

What does tea have to do with leadership? Find out in this episode!

13 Feb 2023A New Definition of LOVE in the Workplace - Thoughts from Kevin00:05:52
12 Jun 2019Leading Customer Loyalty with Sandy Rogers00:31:54

There is a big difference between satisfaction with a product/service/organization and loyalty. Loyalty shows an emotional commitment. When someone is loyal, they promote for you. Sandy Rogers co-author of Leading Loyalty: Cracking the Code to Customer Devotion and the leader of FranklinCovey's Loyalty Practice. He chats with Kevin about the book and although much has been written about loyalty, this book provides simple, applicable principles, practices and a proven process for earning loyalty from your customers and colleagues and all the important people in your life. There isn’t just one thing. It’s all about listening for the real story, taking responsibility for the real job and following up. We need to move beyond process and empower our people to show empathy. Boosting external and internal loyalty will have an impact on your bottom line.

20 May 2020Creating Customer Value with Rob Markey00:38:09

We have the tools for accounting principles, and these have remained unchanged for years. Yet we have no real tool to measure customer loyalty, and every bit of cash flow starts with cash from the customer’s pocket. Kevin is joined by Rob Markey. He is the author of a new Harvard Business Review article on how to run a company to maximize customer value, “Are You Undervaluing Your Customers?" He is also the co-author of The Ultimate Question 2.0. Rob believes that customer loyalty and company success go hand in hand. Companies with high satisfaction rankings grow revenues roughly 2.5 times as fast as their industry peers. Leaders need to find ways to get the voice of the customer in front of the entire organization, not just sales or customer service (regardless of the size of the organization.) Rob also shares ways to destroy customer value (a lesson on what not to do).

In this episode, Rob discusses:

  1. Customer value.
  2. Leading for loyalty.
  3. Relationship recovery.

16 Aug 2022The Biggest Problem with Procrastination - Thoughts from Kevin00:04:16
