  • Summary

  • You don't find the best leaders by looking up. You find them by looking ahead. They're laying out a vision, leading by example, engineering culture, and creating success for people. They're leading us forward to a better future. The Lead Forward podcast is about the mindsets, tools, and skills that leaders need to be both healthy AND effective, because we're going to need to be both if we want to keep making things better. Join us weekly to be part of the journey.

    In-Groups and Empathy
    Mar 19 2024

    It's well-established that we tend to be more empathetic to people who we see as being "like us" or as part of our group. But in the world of work (and in the world in general) it's critically important to have empathy for people in other groups and people who are different from us in one way or another. Understanding the difference between cognitive empathy and emotional empathy can help us start to understand how to bridge the gap.

  • Feedback and Status

    Feedback and Status
    Mar 5 2024

    A sense of our place in a group, or our status, is something human brains pay attention to. Critical feedback can cause a sense of diminished status, or in other words, that a person is "moving down" in their reputation within. But there are things we can do to not only reduce the experienced loss of status, but to also promote the giving and receiving of critical feedback as part of our culture.

  • Rationality and Emotion

    Rationality and Emotion
    Feb 20 2024

    Rationality and emotions aren't opposites. They're parallel processes. Both are always present, and part of great leadership is acknowledging the legitimacy of emotions rather than pretending they don't exist if one is sufficiently rational. To lead others well, we first have to lead ourselves well.
