Thank you so much for this dialogue. I particularly liked what Dr. Stutman said about not making heroes out of leaders and to celebrate their actions and judgements instead. Leaders are flawed. Celebrate actions and behaviours. Wonderful!
What a truly inspirational interview about leadership, shaking things up and having a harmonious integrated work life whole. So many great ideas 💡 for me to explore and apply. Thanks Ryan and Randall. Love the minor disagreements and nuances around the topics 😀
This is similar to what I say to my colleagues. Leaders need to strive to get to a position to where they are the tea boys. You get the right/compitent people for the job. Tell them what you need done. And then keep them motivated and inspired by making the tea.
Really enjoyed this. Made me think of bosses I had good and not so good and family members who thought they were leaders with ownership instead of stewardship.. lots to ponder here and digest.
Lively discourse and dialogue. I would disagree that leadership has to stay hidden. When a group of people are advancing towards something it happens through a series of what Richard Thaler would call nudges. I am a firm believer in Nudge Theory. Also as a former team captain in soccer- you are taught to be vocal. Clear and concise communication is how team's learn to click and fire on all cylinders. In the sports setting you learn verbal and non-verbal communications. Eye contact can be just as effective at "calling for the rock" or as saying "i'm open". In the cultural sphere this is reflected by what is known as the "Gaze". The "gaze" is exemplified many times in the world of National Geographic where you have a very Western lens coming into some very non-western and occidental environments. The "gaze" serves as a cultural protection of identity when people feel as if they are being exploited from non-welcome agents. This is the reason that in many cultures people refuse to be captured in photographic images. The book "Reading National Geographic" by Catherine Lutz from the University of North Carolina explores the concepts of "lens" and "gaze" in great detail. This is all great stuff to think about and I do believe like everything else, leadership is "part art, part science" & that you have to stay teachable. I was always also taught the "importance of being earnest" as well.
Ryan slightly mistells the Jim Valvano story; same intent, slightly wrong story. Jim Valvano had that experience as a coach when he was already coaching in the NCAA, and was pushing for a National Championship. Hear him talk about it in an amazing talk here: ua-cam.com/video/XbELX-uMlG4/v-deo.html

Super underrated episode. So good.
Well structured interview and especially appreciate the second half!
The basketball dad story is powerful and beautiful!

This is helping me being a better leader.
What an inspiring collaboration. Thank you. I will need to watch more to help me integrate all the the suggestions.
Thank you!
Striking gold!

just gotta point out.... Bob Dylan never said that. Not in any song or interview, anyway.
