  • Are you focused or merely busy? Jones Loflin sits down with Kevin to reveal the secret of focus, inspired by honeybees. Jones introduces six essential "permissions" that individuals must grant themselves and emphasizes their particular importance for leaders, who not only need to practice these permissions personally but also guide their team members to recognize and adopt them. These permissions include: The Permission to Prioritize – Bees prioritize maintaining the hive before making honey. How can we identify our most critical goals? The Permission to Plan – Similar to how bees prepare for changing conditions, how can we proactively set ourselves up for success? The Permission to Be Unavailable – Constant accessibility can hinder productivity. How can leaders create an environment conducive to deep work? The Permission to Recharge – Bees rest more than they work. What lessons can we draw from this behavior? The Permission to Change – Often, we stick to habits that are no longer beneficial. How can we embrace necessary changes? The Permission to Be Consistent – Although change is crucial, success frequently arises from disciplined, repeated actions.

  • What does success look like beyond the traditional indicators of achievement? In this episode, Kevin interviews Adrian Kelly to discuss the complexities of success, the common misconceptions about it, and how leaders can redefine success for themselves and their teams. Adrian emphasizes the importance of resilience, learning from failure, and the idea that success is often a collaborative effort rather than an individual one. Kevin and Adrian also examine the role of balance in leadership, the risks associated with groupthink, and the concept of viewing setbacks as opportunities for learning rather than failures.

    ✔️ The historical reason organizations are often viewed as machines
    ✔️ The limitations of a mechanistic approach

  • How can leaders effectively work with and lead people who are different from them? Kevin welcomes Kelly McDonald to explore the challenges and benefits of leading diverse teams and how embracing different perspectives can drive better business outcomes. She explains why the term "diversity" has become a challenge in workplaces and offers practical strategies for leaders to navigate workplace differences, such as using the powerful phrases "Tell me more about that" and "I need your help" to foster understanding and collaboration. She also shares why diverse teams consistently outperform homogeneous ones across all business metrics, even though working with different perspectives can feel more challenging. McDonald emphasizes that friction and disagreement in diverse teams are part of the process that leads to better outcomes.

  • Are you always searching for the right answer? As leaders, we are often taught to look for definitive answers, but what if the best approach isn't about being right, but being flexible?

    In this episode of Remarkable TV, Kevin Eikenberry challenges the idea that there's always a single correct answer. Instead, he encourages leaders to focus on good, possible, or even the best available choices—especially in a complex and uncertain world.

  • What comes first: the customer or the employee? In this episode, Kevin sits down with Stephan Meier to explore why putting workers first isn't just good ethics—it's good business. Stephan highlights how engaged, motivated employees directly impact company success. Drawing from his background in behavioral economics, he breaks down four key motivators for workers: purpose (shoot for the moon), autonomy (matter of trust), competence (just right tasks), and relatedness (working together works). Kevin and Stephan also discuss the future of work, both the challenges and opportunities. He offers practical examples of how AI-powered tools can align employee strengths with organizational needs.

  • In this special edition of The Evolving Workplace series, Wayne Turmel explores the three dominant work models that have emerged in the post-pandemic world: fully remote, fully in-office, and hybrid work. While the debate continues over which model is best, Wayne takes an objective look at the pros, cons, and realities of each approach.

    From cost savings and productivity in remote-first organizations to the structure and collaboration of in-office setups—and the often messy compromise of hybrid work—this episode dives deep into what works, what doesn’t, and how leaders can make the best decisions for their teams.

    Key Takeaways:

    Remote-First Work:

    Allows for talent-first hiring without geographical constraints. Increases flexibility and engagement for self-motivated employees. Challenges: branding, measuring productivity, and maintaining team culture.

    In-Office Work:

    Facilitates faster communication and relationship-building. Provides structured onboarding and training. Challenges: high costs, limited hiring pool, and less flexibility.

    Hybrid Work:

    Offers flexibility employees want while maintaining some in-person collaboration. Challenges: scheduling complexities, proximity bias, and workspace inefficiencies.

    Wayne also discusses the impact of leadership experience, employee expectations, and how different industries must tailor their approach to work models.

    🔹 "Hybrid work isn’t a strategy—it’s often a hostage negotiation." 🔹

  • Did you know that context makes you smarter? In this episode of Remarkable TV, Kevin Eikenberry shares how understanding context helps you make better decisions and become a more effective leader.

    Learn three powerful ways to improve your context-awareness:
    1️⃣ Ask for different perspectives – Expanding your view can lead to better decisions.
    2️⃣ Recognize when "It depends" applies – What follows "it depends" reveals valuable context.
    3️⃣ Ask yourself, "What don’t I know?" – Filling in the gaps can lead to smarter choices.

    The more context and perspective we have, the better decisions we can make and actions we can take.

  • Are you subsidizing your business success at the cost of your own well-being? Andy Brown defines this as emotional overdraft and just like a financial overdraft, these behaviors might work in the short term but become unsustainable and costly over time. Andy explains to Kevin that while this behavior is common, it can lead to stress, burnout, and reduced personal and professional effectiveness. Andy shares habitual behaviors, or "drivers," that contribute to emotional overdraft, such as urgency, overcommitment, and lack of trust. He also suggests that work-life balance is a helpful expression, he advocates for integrating work as part of life and recognizing seasons of focus and rest. Further, he provides some examples so we can mitigate emotional overdraft.
