We’ve always been taught that power corrupts. But lots of people have power and aren’t corrupt. What corrupts is pressure.
When you’re given responsibility for managing other people, often there aren’t resources to help you manage yourself. And the pressure that any new or even seasoned manager can feel in their role can be crippling.
Sabina Nawaz discovered this firsthand in her executive leadership role at Microsoft. She recounts a...
During the pandemic, the way we work fundamentally changed. And yet, now we see many businesses trying to reclaim the world as we knew it before, demanding employees return to the office and attempting to put the genie back in the bottle.
Rishad Tobaccowala knows better. Through his weekly thought letter The Future Does Not Fit In the Containers of the Past, he offers insights and advice on how to prepare yourself for a career that ...
I tend to focus on other people in the interviews on Timeless Leadership. That’s important! There are so many things to learn from other people.
But I’ve realized that being a leader isn’t only about lifting other people up, it’s about being a teacher and sharing your own insights as well.
So in this episode, you get a little bit more of me than I typically put out there, as I share an episode from the frankly… podcast from Franco.

There are certain instances in life when we take our responsibilities so seriously that we swear an oath.
Where did this tradition come from? Who do we owe it to? And why are oaths necessary, anyway?
It comes down to accountability.

The second in command in any job gets neither the attention nor the respect that the chief does.
By virtue of their timing, the founders and those who came first tend to command the spotlight.
And yet, those who follow them do more than continue a legacy; they need to forge their own path and determine how to create something sustainable.

Telling stories is a form of love.
As Neal Foard shared in this episode,
“It helps when a leader is able to communicate to the people that work for them, that they care about them. This is the power of stories. I don’t have to literally say to you I care about you…because of the stories I choose to tell, I am the type of person that cares about the fate of others.”
Neal ignites the storytelling ability in others with his course, Stor...
It’s been a minute.
Season 5 is here and we’ve got a shiny new logo, a new theme song, and more of the timelessness you’re here for.
So as not to jar you with too much on the first episode back, this episode explores a bit of what many leaders struggle with — recurring themes we’ll keep coming back to here. And I geek out a bit on music.
In the links below you’ll not only find links to the music, but to books featured on the podcast a...

Leadership requires care. Care that extends to the people around you, for whom leaders are responsible. But also care for the practice of leadership itself.
Ideas about this extend back to Plato, who engaged in many conversations about the responsibilities of leaders, the dangers of too much power, and considering the good of others.
Princeton professor Melissa Lane, whose book Of Rule and Office: Plato’s Ideas of the Political, join...
Life is filled with busyness. When something or someone comes along to smooth the way and make life a little easier, we’re more than willing to give them our attention and our money.
In an attention-starved world, we look for people who make it easier for us to consume information and make decisions.
Pay attention to these curators. They care.

Often in our careers, we’re focused on our destinations — the job title, the salary, the external symbols that notch our success, and the associated reputational wealth in the eyes of those who see us.
We’re fixated on being when we should be intent on becoming. What are we doing, enjoying, and sharing that inform who we are?
Whether it’s personal or professional, learning is the key to our growth. And in this episode, there’s a shor...

This is the second in our four-part series on core leadership skills.
In 1831 Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote “It is a luxury to be understood,” and it is still a luxury in the modern day. Perhaps even more so, given the number of modes of communication and fractured attention.
Communication is at the very core of your leadership. Without it, you have nothing. Which is why working on your communication skills is so important.
