New Podcast Episode 🎙️
What if most transformation efforts fail because we’re solving the wrong problem?
In this episode of the Remarkable Leadership Podcast, I sit down with Phil Le-Brun to explore the idea of the “Octopus Organization” — a model built for continuous learning and adaptation.
We discuss:
• Why big transformation programs often backfire
• The difference between complicated and complex
• The three essentials: clarity, ownership, curiosity
• How to identify anti-patterns in your organization
If you're serious about building a more adaptable organization, this conversation is worth your time.

Leadership can feel lonely.
But there is no such thing as a self-made leader.

Are meetings helping your culture… or hurting it?
Productivity drops after just 2 hours of meetings a day.
In our newest episode, Jennifer Moss and I talk about “meeting burnout” — and one action you can take in 20 minutes or less to fix it.

New Episode 🎙️
Are projects just something your organization does…
Or are they how your organization works?
In this week’s conversation with Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez, we explore:
• The rise of the project economy
• Why leaders must spend more time in transformation
• How governance can accelerate (or kill) projects
• The difference between project management and project leadership
One provocative idea:
If a project doesn’t have an active sponsor — stop it.

The move from peer to leader is one of the most challenging transitions in a career.
One day you’re part of the team.
The next day you’re responsible for it.
Suddenly you’re navigating former peers, new expectations, and conversations you’ve never had to lead before.
Most new leaders aren’t underprepared because they lack talent.
They’re underprepared because no one taught them how to lead.
That’s why we created Bud to Boss Virtual — a live, interactive experience designed specifically for new leaders. Practical. Real-world. Immediately useful.
The next session begins March 2.
If you (or someone on your team) is stepping into leadership, now is the time.

Is “surrender” the missing leadership skill?
In my latest Remarkable Leadership Podcast episode, I talk with Jessica Kriegel, author of Surrender to Lead, about why letting go of control can actually lead to better results, stronger accountability, and less stress for leaders.
If control has started to feel exhausting, this episode may shift your perspective.

Your New Leaders Aren’t Broken; Your System Is
New and frontline leaders are being asked to do more than ever—with less preparation and inconsistent support.
When development falls short, it’s tempting to blame the leaders.
In my experience, the real issue is usually the system around them.
On February 19, I’m hosting a free, live webinar for HR and L&D leaders who want a smarter, more effective way to develop frontline managers—without overwhelming them or rebuilding everything from scratch.
If you’re ready to stop chasing one-off solutions and start building a leadership system that actually works, I hope you’ll join me.
