How can leaders design work experiences that people don't just tolerate but truly love? Kevin talks with Marcus Buckingham about why love may be the most powerful force in business and why leaders need to take it seriously to create lasting behavior change. Marcus explains that leaders are experience makers, and the best outcomes come when employees and customers have "five" experiences, not merely good or acceptable ones. He introduces the five feelings that help create love at work: control, harmony, significance, warmth of others, and growth, showing how each helps people feel more fully themselves and more connected to the experience. Kevin and Marcus also discuss why many well-intentioned leadership efforts feel hollow when they skip the foundational feelings, how organizations can design love into everyday interactions, and why AI should support (not replace) the human elements that create trust, empathy, and connection. Marcus' Story: Marcus Buckingham is the author of Design Love in: How to Unleash the Most Powerful Force in Business. For over twenty-five years, he has been the world's leading researcher on strengths, engagement, and human performance. He began his career at Gallup and was the co-creator, with Donald O. Clifton, of StrengthsFinder. He is also the New York Times–bestselling author or coauthor of many books, including First, Break All the Rules; Now, Discover Your Strengths; StandOut 2.0; Nine Lies about Work; and Love + Work. He has two of Harvard Business Review's most circulated, industry-changing cover articles and has been the subject of in-depth profiles in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Forbes, Fortune, Fast Company, TODAY, and The Oprah Winfrey Show. https://www.youtube.com/c/MarcusBuckinghamTV Looking to Develop Stronger Leaders?

Everyone is talking about AI. Most of the conversation focuses on productivity, automation, and efficiency. But I think leaders need a broader perspective. In this episode of Remarkable TV and the Remarkable Leadership Podcast, I share four ways AI can help you as a leader that go beyond simple productivity gains. While AI can certainly help you get more done, I believe its greatest value may be in helping you think, decide, and learn more effectively. In this episode, I discuss how AI can help you: ✅ Think more clearly and creatively ✅ Make better decisions by identifying patterns and possibilities ✅ Learn faster and deepen your understanding ✅ Increase productivity and effectiveness The bigger opportunity isn't simply using AI to leverage tasks. It's using AI to leverage human potential.

How can leaders move beyond the noise and overwhelm of AI to create value for their teams and organizations? In this episode, Kevin talks with Matt Kesby about why AI is not just a technology challenge, but a change management challenge. Matt explains why organizations should avoid chasing shiny tools and instead focus on the systems, processes, and repetitive work where AI and automation can create measurable "value impact." He also introduces the difference between makers, watchers, and blamers, encouraging leaders to act now by documenting tasks, identifying opportunities for improvement, and building clear procedures that both people and AI can follow.

Confidence matters more in leadership than most people realize. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I'm sharing practical ways you can build confidence as a leader — not through ego or pretending, but through growth, progress, and intentional action. I'll walk you through: The confidence-competence loop Why confidence and skill reinforce each other How positive self-talk impacts leadership Why starting small matters How reflecting on progress builds momentum What organizations often miss when developing leaders One of the biggest lessons I've learned is this: confidence and competence build each other. The more progress we make, the more confidence we gain — and the more confidence we gain, the more willing we are to keep growing. A more confident leader is a more effective leader.

How do leaders build trust in ways that strengthen people, teams, and organizational results? In this episode, Kevin talks with Dr. Dennis Reina and Dr. Michelle Reina about why trust cannot be treated as a buzzword but must be practiced every day in the small moments. They share their three dimensions of trust—character, communication, and capability—and explain how trust grows when leaders clarify expectations, honor commitments, communicate truthfully and transparently, and recognize both the current and potential strengths of others. The discussion also highlights that trust is everyone's responsibility, even though leaders set the tone, and that organizations thrive when they intentionally connect the human need for relationships with the business need for results.

Micromanagement has always frustrated people. But I believe today's workplace may actually be making it worse. In this episode of Remarkable TV, I explore why modern work environments are increasing the pressure leaders feel to micromanage—and what we can do instead. In this episode, I talk about: Why poor leadership preparation still matters How remote and hybrid work increase micromanagement tendencies The role of technology, dashboards, Slack, and Teams Why complexity creates control-driven leadership How declining trust impacts workplace behavior What accountability really means for leaders If you've ever felt micromanaged—or worried you might be doing it yourself—I think this conversation will help you better understand the causes and move toward healthier leadership habits.

What if the path to inspiring others starts with understanding yourself first? Kevin sits down with Bruce Mayhew to explore why inspired leadership starts with looking inward, not for self-focus, but to serve better and lead others. They discuss the connection between learning and leadership growth, the importance of saying "I don't know" as a pathway to curiosity and trust, and why so-called soft skills are better understood as human skills. Bruce also shares a powerful distinction between motivation and inspiration, reminding us that leaders cannot manufacture motivation in others, but they can create the conditions that help people do their best work. Along the way, they unpack why accountability should be seen as an opportunity rather than blame, how leaders must balance individual needs with team cohesion, and why organizations should focus less on trying to empower people and more on enabling their success.

Most leaders believe an open door policy is automatically a good thing. I'm not so sure. In this episode, I share six questions every leader should ask about their open door policy — especially in hybrid and distributed workplaces. We'll explore: • why "open door" doesn't always mean accessible • how interruptions hurt leadership effectiveness • the dependency trap many leaders accidentally create • why uninterrupted work matters for leaders too Having an open door policy is a fine idea. But the door can't always be open. What do you think?
