I hate cutters. But this is a different kind of cutting I'm advocating. It's not to save money. It's not to cut expense. It's to increase speed to market and to gain competitive advantage.

In this episode the cofounder of Lone Rock Leadership, Russ Hill, talks about the seismic shift that is happening in the marketplace. Leaders who innovate are discovering their organizations are bloated. They move too slow. They over message. They have too many layers of management.

What Elon Musk and DOGE are doing in the US government is the same thing innovative executives are doing in the business world. They're creating the new, lean organization.

In this episode of the Lead In 30 Podcast Russ Hill:

• Discusses the necessity for reducing layers of bureaucracy
• Shares the importance of clarity and alignment for organizational success
• Analyzes the impact of current political and economic shifts
• Encourages leaders to respond objectively to external changes
• Urges listeners to reassess operational strategies for efficiency
• Highlights the rise of new voices advocating for organizational change
• Concludes with a call to action for bold moves towards efficiency

Don't look to Detroit or Menlo Park, NJ. The answer to the most effective leadership revealed itself in Dayton. This is part two of two episodes about the industrial age and rise of the corporation.

In part one we looked at the leadership styles put forward by Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. In this episode we look at what we uncovered from the same time period in Dayton, Ohio at a place called the National Cash Register Corporation.

John Patterson was the CEO and what he created at NCR is still being used at companies like Amazon, Google, Intel, Apple, and so many other innovative organizations today.

It was the dawn of the American industrial and innovation boom. The corporation was on the rise. Individual craftsmen were joining teams as the marketplace transformed overnight. It was in this moment that two different forms of leadership emerged. One came from Thomas Edison. The other came from his employee Henry Ford.

Let's dig into it in this episode of the Lead In 30 Podcast!
