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...

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? 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...

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...

Are your desires helping you move forward—or quietly getting in your way? In this episode of Remarkable TV, I share a simple but powerful leadership lesson inspired by intermittent fasting. While the example starts with food, the real message is about how momentary desires—often driven by habits and situations—can pull us off our long-term path. Desire is powerful. It can motivate us. But if we don’t keep it in perspective, it can also distract us from the future we truly want. My name is Kevin Eikenberry and I’m here to help you reach your goal as a leader and a human being with...
