À propos de ce contenu audio

Leadership Mistakes is a leadership and management podcast about failure—real leadership failures, bad decisions, and the quiet mistakes that derail teams, organizations, and careers.

Each episode breaks down leadership mistakes, management failures, and decision-making errors from history, business, and real-world organizations to uncover what actually went wrong—and what better leaders do differently.

This podcast is for:

  • Managers and executives
  • Founders and business owners
  • Team leaders and high-potential professionals who want to improve decision-making, team performance, and leadership effectiveness by learning from failure instead of pretending it doesn’t happen.

Rather than motivational speeches or leadership clichés, Leadership Mistakes focuses on:

  • Bad leadership decisions and their consequences
  • Management errors that slowly kill trust and performance
  • Organizational failures no one noticed until it was too late
  • Why smart leaders still make terrible calls under pressure

You’ll hear clear, story-driven breakdowns that make leadership lessons stick—without jargon, theory overload, or corporate nonsense.

If you’re interested in leadership development, management skills, decision-making, organizational behavior, and team performance, this podcast will help you recognize mistakes early, think more clearly, and lead more effectively.

Learn why leaders fail—so you don’t have to.

    • Bad Leadership: The Fake Attack That Launched World War II
      Jan 14 2026

      This episode examines a chilling leadership failure that helped ignite World War II: the Gleiwitz Incident, a staged border attack designed to make it appear that Poland had struck Germany first.

      On the night of August 31, 1939, a small group of SS men seized a German radio station near the Polish border, broadcast a brief message in broken Polish, and left behind a murdered civilian dressed as a Polish soldier. The operation was part of Operation Himmler, overseen by Adolf Hitler and executed through Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich—not to discover truth, but to manufacture consent.

      We break down how bad leadership, decision-making failure, and institutional obedience turned a crude lie into a justification for invasion. This was not panic or miscalculation. It was planning. A deliberate choice to replace accountability with narrative, and responsibility with theater.

      This episode explores how management failure at scale happens when leaders treat truth as a tool rather than a constraint—and how organizations collapse when no one is empowered to challenge a story that makes violence feel inevitable.

      If you’re interested in leadership mistakes, leadership failure, organizational ethics, and how false narratives enable catastrophic decisions, this story shows why the most dangerous leadership failures are often procedural, quiet, and ruthlessly efficient.

      Learn why leaders fail—not because they don’t know the truth, but because they decide it no longer matters.

    • Leadership Failure: The Night a Computer Almost Started Nuclear War
      Jan 13 2026

      This episode examines one of the most dangerous leadership failures of the Cold War: the 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm, when an automated early warning system reported incoming U.S. nuclear missiles—and one officer chose not to believe it.

      On the night of September 26, 1983, Stanislav Petrov was on duty inside a Soviet command bunker monitoring the Oko early warning system. The system declared that multiple American missiles had been launched. Doctrine demanded immediate escalation. Minutes mattered. The margin for doubt was supposed to be zero.

      Petrov hesitated.

      Rather than blindly follow procedure, he questioned the data, the logic of the scenario, and the reliability of a new system operating under extreme conditions. By reporting a malfunction instead of an attack, he delayed a response that could have triggered nuclear war during one of the most unstable moments of the Cold War.

      We break down how bad leadership systems, decision-making failures, and overreliance on automation created a situation where catastrophe was avoided only because one person was willing to slow down. This is a story about management failure at scale, where organizations train people to escalate problems faster than they understand them.

      If you’re interested in leadership mistakes, decision-making under pressure, organizational failure, and how rigid systems can quietly eliminate judgment, this episode reveals why hesitation—at the right moment—can be the most important leadership decision of all.

      Learn why leaders fail—not because people panic, but because systems discourage thinking when it matters most.

    • Leadership Failure: The Charge of the Light Brigade and Fatal Obedience
      Jan 12 2026

      This episode examines a classic leadership failure from the Charge of the Light Brigade, when a perfectly trained cavalry unit followed orders exactly—and rode straight into disaster.

      During the Crimean War, British leadership issued an urgent but dangerously unclear command. From a distance, Lord Raglan believed his intent was obvious. In the valley below, Lord Lucan interpreted the order literally. And at the front, Lord Cardigan executed it without question.

      What followed was not a failure of courage, but a failure of communication, judgment, and leadership structure. The Light Brigade charged down a narrow valley into concentrated artillery fire because no one stopped to ask whether obedience was the same thing as wisdom—and because the system punished hesitation more than catastrophe.

      We break down how bad leadership decisions, decision-making failures, and rigid hierarchy combined to turn ambiguity into mass casualties. This episode shows how organizations fail when leaders assume clarity, discourage questioning, and mistake discipline for understanding.

      If you’re interested in leadership mistakes, leadership failure, decision-making under pressure, and how unquestioned authority destroys team performance, this story offers a brutal reminder: doing exactly what you’re told can still be the wrong thing.

      Learn why leaders fail—not from malice or incompetence, but from systems that reward obedience over sense-making.
