      PPP 469 | Four Simple Shifts To Unleash Your Team (and Avoid Your Mount Stupid Moment), with author Phil Wilson
      Jul 10 2025
      Summary In this episode, Andy talks with leadership coach Phil Wilson, author of The Leader-Shift Playbook: 4 Simple Changes to Score Big and Unleash Your Team's Potential. Phil shares his own “Mount Stupid” moment, when he realized the biggest obstacle to his team’s success was actually himself, and how that wake-up call led to powerful changes in his leadership approach. The conversation dives into the four core shifts from his book, covering topics like the power of belief (in yourself and others), and how seemingly small habits shape team culture. Phil and Andy explore how frontline leaders can create real momentum by changing how they show up, how they relate to their team, and how they view their role as a leader. You’ll also hear practical ways to build trust on remote teams and foster relationships that drive performance. If you’re looking for insights on culture, trust, feedback, and practical leadership growth, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “There are no neutral interactions. You’re either growing the culture or you’re hurting the culture.”“The solution wasn’t a Chief of Staff. What I needed was to be a better leader.”“Self-doubt isn’t humility. It’s fear dressed up as honesty.”"Beliefs drive behavior."“The belief you have about your team—whether they’re heroes or villains—changes everything.”“You don't have the luxury of assuming anything other than the best about your people.”“Leadership actually happens in the conversations you’re willing to have.”"Best and Best: Each person shares the best thing going on in their personal life, and the best thing going on in their work life.""The Three Happys: Three things from the day before that made you happy."“If you had a product you were selling, you’d ask your customers for feedback.

      PPP 468 | How to Lead When You’re Suddenly In Charge. What To Do in the First 45 Days, with Executive Coach James Turk
      Jul 3 2025
      Summary When you're promoted into management, the shift can feel like you're suddenly in charge, but with very little guidance. In this episode, Andy chats with executive coach and author James Turk about his insightful book The Giving Game: A Manager’s Playbook for the First Year of Leadership. James brings decades of experience helping leaders navigate that tricky transition from individual contributor to team leader. They explore why being a subject-matter expert doesn’t automatically make you an effective leader, and why the first 45 days in a new role are so critical. James shares practical advice for building a strong team climate, coaching instead of controlling, and why clarity is one of the greatest gifts you can offer as a manager. Plus, they discuss what new managers often miss about feedback and delegation (and how to avoid those traps). Whether you’re newly promoted or preparing to step into a leadership role, this conversation is filled with actionable insights. If you’re looking for real-world advice on how to lead when you’re suddenly in charge, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “The number one reason employees don’t do what they’re supposed to do is that they don’t know what it is.”“Leadership isn’t about being the smartest person in the room. It’s about creating the conditions for others to succeed.”“Climate is how it feels to work for you, and as a leader, that’s something you have the power to shape every day.”“Coaching isn’t fixing the past. It’s investing in someone’s future performance.”“Most people, when they’re promoted, don’t have the skills, and they’re afraid to admit it.”“If I want people to do the work, they need to know what’s expected of them.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction01:57 Start of Interview02:06 What early experiences shaped how you think about leadership?05:30 Why call it 'The Giving Game'?08:39 What would you coach me to do differently in my first 45 days as a new manager?11:01 Why focus on climate instead of culture?15:57 How do we shift teams from renter mode to ownership?20:18 Why do so many managers think we're being clear?21:42 How can leaders delegate in a way that builds ownership?22:47 When did you make a delegation mistake because of lack of clarity?25:25 What's an example of feedback that changed your career?27:59 What do you think about the 'feedback sandwich' technique?29:44 How can these ideas help parents at home?32:10 End of Interview32:31 Andy Comments After the Interview36:15 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about James Turk and his work at TheTurkGroup.com/TheGivingGameBook.

      PPP 467 | This Is What No One Tells You About Becoming a Boss, with author Sabina Nawaz
      Jul 1 2025
      Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Sabina Nawaz, global CEO coach and former Microsoft executive, about her new book You're the Boss: Become the Manager You Want to Be and Others Need. With authenticity and insight, Sabina shares what no one tells you about stepping into management, from the strange emptiness that can follow a promotion to how pressure can quietly bring out the worst in us. They discuss why even successful leaders can feel like imposters, how power and pressure distort our perceptions, and what it means to be an “innocent saboteur.” Sabina also offers practical advice, such as developing your “shut up muscle,” asking better questions, and making small habit changes that stick. The conversation covers everything from leadership in the workplace to parenting, making this one of those rare episodes with takeaways for every area of life. If you're looking for insights on how to grow as a leader without losing yourself in the process, this episode is for you! Sound Bites “It’s not power that corrupts. It’s pressure that corrupts.”“If nobody’s giving you the full truth, what are the ways you might be going off track?”“When you're under pressure, do nothing. That’s counterintuitive but that’s where insight lives.”“The more righteous you feel, the more you need to consider alternative stories.”“Use 'Say more' when you're curious—and especially when you're judgmental.”“The only way to overachieve is to underachieve—start with micro habits.”“You’re not the only one with imposter syndrome—CEOs have it too.” Chapters 00:00 Introduction02:15 Start of Interview02:24 “Can you think of anything from your family culture or experiences growing up that may have influenced how you think about leadership?”05:08 “You describe getting promoted as a strange emptiness—what were the signs it came with unexpected costs?”07:17 “Do you see imposter syndrome even in top-level leaders you coach?”08:21 “How does embracing the complexity of leadership change how we view our own leaders?”10:04 “How do we unknowingly sabotage ourselves as leaders?”12:09 “What are some of the signs that you're veering off track as a boss?”13:10 “What specific things do you personally do to manage pressure situations so you don’t become a monster?”17:13 “You say, ‘stay small longer than you think you need to.' What does that mean and how do you apply it?”21:07 “What is a singular story and how do we rescue ourselves from believing them?”26:20 “What’s the ‘shut up muscle’ and how do you develop it?”29:02 “Can you think of ideas from the book that apply to parenting as well?”31:44 End of Interview32:09 Andy Comments After the Interview37:40 Outtakes Learn More You can learn more about Sabina and her work at SabinaNawaz.com/book.
