Leading in the Project Economy with Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez
The Remarkable Leadership Podcast
What if projects weren’t just part of work but how work gets done in your organization? In this episode, Kevin is joined by Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez to discuss the project economy and why treating projects as "side work" is no longer an option for leaders. Antonio challenges traditional hierarchies and operational mindsets, making the case that today's value creation, innovation, and transformation happen primarily through projects. He also explains why mindset matters more than tools and why project leaders must think like entrepreneurs who own outcomes, fight for value, and bring problems...

Are You Delegating Work or Developing People? - Thoughts from Kevin
The Remarkable Leadership Podcast
Most leaders are told, “You need to delegate.” And that’s true — if you delegate correctly. But here’s the real question I want you to consider: Are you delegating work… or developing people? In this episode of Remarkable TV and the Remarkable Leadership Podcast, I challenge the common view of delegation as simply a time-management tactic. Done poorly, delegation is just handing off tasks. Done well, it becomes one of the most powerful tools you have to develop others. In this episode, I’ll walk you through: The critical difference between delegating work and developing people ...

Better Hybrid Habits (in 20 Minutes or Less)
The Remarkable Leadership Podcast
How can leaders build better workplace culture by rethinking hybrid work? In this fourth episode of the culture mini-series, Kevin and Jennifer Moss look at how hybrid work habits are quietly shaping workplace culture in ways that undermine both people and performance, often without leaders realizing it. They argue that treating in-office and remote days identically is a missed opportunity and that leaders should design distinct expectations for each work context. They discuss why many employees feel frustrated by return-to-office mandates when the work itself hasn’t changed, and how this...

Surrender to Lead with Jessica Kriegel
The Remarkable Leadership Podcast
What if the secret to effective leadership isn't control, but surrender? In this episode, Kevin speaks with Jessica Kriegel, who redefines surrender as a courageous choice: releasing the illusion of control and focusing on what leaders can influence: the experiences they create for their teams. Their conversation explores the delusion of control in hierarchical organizations, the pitfalls of over-management, and why leadership driven by fear and micromanagement is both unsustainable and self-limiting. Jessica also shares her S.H.I.F.T. framework, a practical model for transforming leadership...

Is Coasting Costing You? - Thoughts from Kevin
The Remarkable Leadership Podcast
Is coasting costing you? In this episode of Remarkable TV, I want to explore a simple but important question—when does coasting help us, and when does it quietly start holding us back? Coasting can absolutely be useful. It can save energy. It can give us needed rest. But if we aren’t paying attention, coasting can also cause us to lose momentum, give up control, and drift away from intentional leadership. In this episode, I share: When coasting is helpful—and when it isn’t Why coasting often leads to a loss of intentionality How resting too long can stall progress Why progress...

With five generations now working together for the first time in history, misunderstandings and miscommunications are inevitable.

Love as a Change Strategy with Mohammad Anwar

Together, Kevin and Mohammad discuss why traditional change management approaches fail, how fear activates resistance, and why prioritizing emotional intelligence and human connection leads to sustainable transformation. They dive into six behavioral principles that underpin “love as a change strategy,” including...

Are You Cynical? - Thoughts from Kevin
The Remarkable Leadership Podcast
When are you cynical? It’s a simple question—but an important one. Because cynicism doesn’t just affect how you see the world. It affects what you learn, what you notice, and how you lead. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I explore what really happens when we become cynical—and why cynicism is less a personality trait and more a mental habit and choice. When we’re cynical, we stop being curious, we stop learning, and our attitude (and the attitudes of those around us) suffers. The good news? Any habit can be changed. I’ll share a simple but powerful replacement strategy that can...

Kevin shares a simple three-part framework to make your one-on-ones more engaging and efficient: talk about non-work, their list, and your list. This joint-ownership model transforms these meetings from a task into a tool for connection, clarity, and performance. Jennifer...
