Getting Results
by Jim Riviello
Results matter. In fact, we’re paid to get results. So the big question is this...how do business leaders, like us, who really want to do the right thing and make a difference; how do they get results? How do they effectively lead others in the face of adversity and how do they find the strength and courage to role model the behavior they want to see in others. That is the question and this podcast will give you the answers.

E370: How to Actually Disconnect on Vacation
Picture this. You're on a beach chair, sun on your face, and your kid is mid-sentence telling you about the sandcastle she just built. Your hand is already moving toward your phone. Just for a second. Fifteen minutes later, you're drafting a reply in your head, and she's stopped talking to you....

E369: The Best Leadership Books to Read This Summer
Before you head out on vacation, do one thing for me. Throw one of these in your bag. Summer's the one stretch all year where the pace actually lets up enough to read something that isn't a status update or a board deck. And the leaders who grow the fastest don't read more than everyone else.…

E366: Your Vacation Is a Leadership Test. Here's How to Pass It.
You're about to board a plane. Phone's in your hand. You're telling yourself you're going to disconnect. And somewhere between packing and the gate, a quiet thought surfaces. What happens if something goes wrong while I'm gone? That thought isn't anxiety. It's data. And today I'm going to give…

E365: How to Lead at the Next Level Without Losing What Made You Great
You've spent the last two weeks sitting with some hard questions about how you're leading. And if you're like most of the leaders I work with, something in the back of your head is saying — I get it, I know I need to change. I just don't want to watch everything I've built start to slip while I...
-
E364: The Instinct That Built You Is Now Costing You
Your team brought you a hard problem last week. You saw it immediately. You gave them the answer, they said thanks, and they walked out. And you felt useful. That feeling is the problem. Not because you were wrong. Because you were right and you just guaranteed they'll be back with the next one....

E363: The Leadership Audit Every VP Needs at Mid-Year
You just closed Q2. Numbers hit. Team delivered. And you’re still here – watching this – because something in the back of your head won’t quiet down. It’s not about the results. The results are fine. It's that it's still this hard. After all your success, it should feel easier than this by now.…

E362: Why the Handoff Conversation Keeps Failing — Even When You Do It Right
You had the tough conversation. You were clear. You handed it off completely. Two days later — they were back. Not with progress. With questions you already answered.

-
E361: How to Hand Off Work Without It Coming Back Broken
You delegated it. They came back with questions you already answered. You re-delegated it. They came back with a version that missed the point. The third time, you just did it yourself. And in that moment, without meaning to, you made a decision you'll be living with for the rest of the year.…

E360: The Real Reason Your Team Keeps Bringing Problems Back to You
You solved three problems this week that weren't yours to solve. You know it. And somewhere in the back of your head — you already know why they keep coming back. The answer isn't your team's capability. It's the system you built without realizing it. Today I'm going to show you the real reason...

E359: 4 Decisions Your Team Should Be Making Without You by End of Q3
Are your best people still waiting on you to make decisions they should be making themselves? Q3 starts in weeks. And if you're honest — too many decisions are still routing to you. Not because your team can't handle more. Because you never handed it off. You've spent the first half of the year...

E358: AI is Incredible. Don’t Forget What’s Even Better.
AI is incredible. In the last two years, I've watched executives accomplish in hours what used to take weeks. The speed is real. The leverage is real. I'm not here to slow any of that down. But I am here to remind you of something. Something so obvious… so fundamental… that most leaders don't…

E354: You Don’t Need More Effort. You Need More Clarity.
If your business feels harder to run than it should… It’s probably not because people aren’t working hard enough. In most teams I work with—effort isn’t the problem. There’s plenty of effort. People are busy. Calendars are full. Work is moving. And yet… It still feels like something’s off.…
