Have you ever considered that your best intentions as a leader can lead to self-deception and undermine your effectiveness? Kevin speaks with Victoria Trammel about how self-deception ties to our identity as leaders. Self-deception leads to what an inward mindset—an excessive and unhealthy self-focus that leads us to see ourselves and others in altered ways. She explains how leaders can act in ways that contradict their stated values, denying their team members growth and opportunity. Victoria believes, as leaders, we need to stay curious and see our team as individuals with different needs and goals.

What does it take to build a superintelligent enterprise? Dr. Nada Sanders shares insights from her latest research on what it means to create a superintelligent organization. Contrary to popular belief, it's not about only relying on advanced technology. Instead, the combination of AI and human judgment drives success. Nada and Kevin discuss Kasparov’s Law, which emphasizes that an average person with a good process and AI can outperform even superior computers or individuals without the right systems. Nada believes the key to long-term success in a superintelligent enterprise lies in blending technology with human empathy, communication, and expertise. This podcast was recorded during Virtual LeaderCon 2024.

Whether you’re struggling with confidence, procrastination, or simply need a boost to persevere, borrowing someone else's belief can make all the difference.
In this episode, Kevin explains why borrowing belief is so powerful, how it can help you move forward when you’re stuck, and how you can return or pay forward that borrowed belief to others. This practical advice is a game-changer for any leader or individual looking to overcome self-doubt and become more effective.
