We won’t like absolutely everything our favorite leader says. When we disagree with them, it’s important to let them know; that’s actually an expression of loyalty. Our guest, author Ira Chaleff, explains why that simple act makes you a courageous follower.

There's still a huge gender gap in the C-suite, and in the 2024 US Presidential election, some voters admit they're "not ready for a female President." What gives?

When was the last time you heard a senior executive say, “I screwed up?”
It’s exceedingly rare – and it’s holding organizations back. Why? Because, as guest Tammy Alvarez – the CEO of Career Winners Circle – points out, you can’t succeed without failure.

The full interview will be available starting tomorrow (Tuesday, 5/21/24) as a regular podcast on Podbean at https://bit.ly/CareerSteer.
We’ve seen the leadership trap a lot in CEOs post-COVID: they’re too set in their old status quo. Being static or stagnant in your beliefs traps you in the past, unable to respond successfully to new issues.
But our guest, Shaan Patel (CEO of Prep Expert), says the solution is simple: adopt a mindset of nimbleness and agility. Curiosity, too: take a look at new tech, for example, and consider how it fits in your organization’s mission.

Have you heard of Cali Sober? It’s gaining popularity with leaders, although it’s been around for years. As health – mental and physical – becomes a bigger priority in C-suites, leaders are looking for less toxic ways to destress than drinking alcohol.
With Cali Sober, execs are turning to psychedelics instead. In this video, Paul Austin, the CEO of Third Wave, explains further.
For our full exploration of the growth of psychedelics in the C-suite, listen to our full interview with Paul on our Innovating Leadership: Co-Creating Our Future podcast; it's on Podbean at https://bit.ly/CiceroToCEO!

If your employees aren't ready for the future, your organization isn't, either. Tech companies like Amazon can't afford that -- so they create their future by preparing their employees. Steve Armato, Amazon's VP of Middle Mile and Tech, explains a few of the ways their teams get ready for the future: with upskilling, training, education, and empowerment. The result? About half of Amazon's new innovations come from the bottom up, rather than top down. Learn more in our full interview, "How Moonshots and Robots Put Packages on Your Porch." It's here on YouTube in our "Full Interviews" section, and as a podcast on Podbean at https://bit.ly/RobotBallet .
