  • Episode 184: Lead with Intention: Make Every Moment Count

    Episode 184: Lead with Intention: Make Every Moment Count
    Feb 17 2025
    In this episode, Bob ‘n Joyce explore the power of deliberate and intentional leadership. Too often, we miss opportunities to maximize our impact by reacting impulsively to the chaos around us. Instead of leading with purpose, we get swept up in the moment. Leading with intention means consciously choosing our words and actions to shape outcomes rather than merely responding to circumstances. This practice doesn’t come naturally—it requires patience, self-awareness, and the ability to step back and see the bigger picture. We share real-world examples and practical strategies to help you cultivate intentional leadership in both your professional and personal life. So, are you ready to take control of how you show up as a leader? Join us for this insightful conversation—grab a snack, settle in, and let’s dive in!

    Episode 182: Rethinking Leadership: The 5 Must-have Qualities for Today’s World
    Feb 3 2025
    In this episode, Bob ‘n Joyce discuss the findings of a Strategy + Business Newsletter article on the 5 qualities that leaders must possess to succeed in today’s world. These qualities imply a shift from the metrics of efficiency and performance to managing the more intangible aspects of the business such as governance, environmental impact, and a positive work culture. We muse about the implications of these new qualities on HR/OD and what new leadership models may emerge to guide the next generation. What we know for sure is that what was once linear and concrete about leading is becoming fungible and murky. Welcome to world as we all know it.
