  • Why some leaders are incorruptible, many get corrupted by power/money (with Rob Lalka)

    Why some leaders are incorruptible, many get corrupted by power/money (with Rob Lalka)
    Aug 4 2026
    While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. In this episode, Kim speaks with Rob Lalka, the author of The Venture Alchemists - How Big Tech Turned Profits Into Power. In this episode of Radical Sabbatical, Kim sits down with Rob Lalka, author of Venture Alchemist, to study what the founders of Facebook, Google, and the “PayPal Mafia” were saying and writing before anyone was paying attention to them. They explore what separates the leaders who stayed grounded from the ones who didn't. They ask a hard question: does it matter if a leader got corrupted by too much money and power or if they started out bad to the bone? Every leader (indeed, every one of us) has good and bad inside. The one that wins is usually the one that gets fed. The question is whether the venture capital model feeds the good — or does it feed the bad, setting founders up to be corrupted by their own success? Kim and Rob explore the contrasting origins of major tech companies like Facebook and Google. They discuss the implications of Mark Zuckerberg's early actions (for example, an IM while in college with a friend who asked him how he got access to people’s personal information and he replied “they trusted me, the dumb f–ks;”). What does it mean that Google’s founders started out thinking Google would have to be a non-profit so that advertising wouldn’t bias information but wound up selling trillions of ads? The conversation also delves into the impact of the PayPal Mafia and the controversial book by Thiel and Sachs, The Diversity Myth. Rob discusses the complexities of free speech and the implications of outlier behavior. He emphasizes the importance of moral leadership in corporate culture and critiques the philosophical influences of figures like Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman on business ethics. Rob expresses hope for the future, particularly through the potential of his students to create positive change in society.

  • How Great Leaders Make Everyone Better (with Liz Wiseman)

    How Great Leaders Make Everyone Better (with Liz Wiseman)
    Jul 15 2026
    While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years. Building high-performance teams, especially in dynamic industries, can be one of the biggest challenges a leader faces. Sometimes passionate founders or senior leaders can go from passionate advocate to authoritarian autocrat. Left unchecked, this can lead to organizations underperforming in the long term and missed opportunities. So where is the balance? In this episode, Kim speaks with Liz Wiseman, the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers. Liz and Kim explore the pitfalls of authoritarian leadership, the power of multipliers, and how leaders can foster environments where everyone does the best work of their lives and builds the best relationships of their careers. Liz does point out that there are certain, limited instances where a top down, “command and control” approach is the right choice (for example, during an acute crisis), but these instances should be rare and targeted. They also discuss practical strategies for managing diminishing leaders and creating impact regardless of leadership style. They also talk about the importance of understanding power dynamics in leadership. Guest Background: Liz Wiseman is a researcher and executive advisor who teaches leadership to top organizations worldwide. She wrote the New York Times bestsellers Multipliers, The Multiplier Effect, and Wall Street Journal bestsellers Rookie Smarts and Impact Players. CHAPTERS (00:33) Introduction to Radical Sabbatical and Guest Liz Wiseman (02:06) The Flaws of Authoritarian Leadership (06:06) Diminishers vs. Multipliers: Leadership Styles (12:16) When Authoritarian Leadership is Necessary (20:27) The Balance of Command and Collaboration (23:36) The Impact of Leadership Styles (26:34) Navigating Innovation and Crisis (29:30) The Balance of Authority and Collaboration (32:35) Lessons from Great Leaders (36:38) Understanding Accidental Diminishers (45:03) The Impact of Perfectionism on Team Dynamics (46:09) Understanding Accidental and Intentional Diminishers (47:26) The Drive to Contribute: Empowering Impact Players (48:56) Leading Through Influence: The Role of Impact Players (51:06) Strategies for Thriving Under Diminishing Leadership (52:26) Multiplying Up: Turning Diminishment into Empowerment (55:47) The Power of Listening and Adapting (01:01:04) Leveraging Bosses' Strengths for Better Outcomes (01:03:01) Building Relationships on a Level Playing Field (01:03:55) Understanding and Sharing Power in Leadership Connect with the Radical Candor team: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
