The reason that most memos, speeches and edicts fall flat is simple: we get stuck on the idea that we’re talking to a crowd. When we’re speaking or writing, the crowd is just an illusio…

Ep 42: The journey to intentional leadership - with guest Dave Stachowiak | Beyond Potential
In this episode of Beyond Potential, Tom and Tom are joined by Dave Stachowiak, host of the hugely successful Coaching for Leaders podcast (with over 40 million downloads). For regular listeners, you’ll know just how much we admire Dave’s work; we’ve referenced him countless times on Beyond Potential, so having him as a guest on the show is quite the ‘pinch me’ moment.   From a shy introvert who dreaded public speaking to one of the most trusted voices in leadership development, Dave shares his personal story of becoming a more intentional, empathetic leader. With insights from his early struggles in management, to the pivotal role Dale Carnegie played in his development, and how leaders can bridge the gap between knowing and doing.   We explore how to move from knowledge to action, why “trying less” might help you grow more, and how small, consistent steps can lead to lasting behaviour change. We also unpack the importance of reflection and how intentional behaviour change can drive performance, all with the humility and clarity that have made Dave’s podcast essential listening for leaders around the world.   Connect with Dave on LinkedIn.

The Art of Asking Smarter Questions
The Art of Asking Smarter Questions
With organizations of all sorts facing increased urgency and unpredictability, being able to ask smart questions has become key. But unlike lawyers, doctors, and psychologists, business professionals are not formally trained on what kinds of questions to ask when approaching a problem. They must learn as they go. In their research and consulting, the authors have seen that certain kinds of questions have gained resonance across the business world. In a three-year project they asked executives to brainstorm about the decisions they’ve faced and the kinds of inquiry they’ve pursued. In this article they share what they’ve learned and offer a practical framework for the five types of questions to ask during strategic decision-making: investigative, speculative, productive, interpretive, and subjective. By attending to each, leaders and teams can become more likely to cover all the areas that need to be explored, and they’ll surface information and options they might otherwise have missed.
