Steven introduces ten habits from his book aimed at transforming potentially toxic conversations into healthy dialogues.

The conversation covers topics such as the importance of intellectual humility, seeking real learning, assuming the best about others, and practical strategies for engaging in productive discourse.

  • "If you don't have executive support backing you, you're not going to survive. It just does not matter."
  • "One of the key aspects of what I'm about is tenacity. I just keep trying and trying. If it doesn't work, I'll try again and try again."

Summary

In this episode, Andy talks with Rich Diviney, a retired Navy SEAL commander, about his book, The Attributes: 25 Drivers of Optimal Performance. Rich shares his insights on the difference between attributes and skills, the concept of optimal performance, and how understanding these attributes can help build high-performing teams. They also talk about the importance of dynamic subordination, the relevance of attributes in hiring processes, and how parents can help their children develop these essential traits.

The conversation highlights the need to look beyond resumes and skills when evaluating team members and the value of understanding and developing attributes for individual and team success. If you're looking for an innovative way to better understand and develop yourself and your team, this is a must-listen episode.

Sound Bites

  • "In stress, challenge, and uncertainty, when things hit the fan, personality tends to go out the window. We're running on these very raw things called attributes."
  • "We train for certainty; we educate for uncertainty."
  • "Skills direct our behavior in known and specific environments, but attributes inform our behavior in unknown environments."
  • "A high-performing team is one that performs optimally even when things are not going great."
  • "Optimal performance means I'm going to do the very best in the moment, whatever the best looks like in that moment."
  • "Dynamic subordination means that problems and challenges can come from any angle at any moment. The person who's closest to the problem, the most capable, immediately steps up and takes lead."
  • "If someone is unwilling to take criticism, they are unwilling to understand what they're doing wrong. They're unwilling to step back and cede control. That is a dangerous place to be in."

Summary

In this episode, Andy speaks with Dr. Judy Ho, a clinical and forensic neuropsychologist, about her new book, The New Rules of Attachment: How to Heal Your Relationships, Reparent Your Inner Child, and Secure Your Life Vision .

Seriously? Attachment theory? Reparenting your inner child? What does this have to do with leading teams and projects? You'll find out in this episode!

Andy and Judy delve into the importance of attachment in leadership and how understanding attachment styles can impact leadership and team dynamics. Dr. Ho discusses the different attachment styles: avoidant, anxious, and disorganized, and their influence on self-concept and behavior in professional settings. The conversation highlights key strategies for leaders to recognize and adjust to the attachment styles of their team members.

Before you're done, you'll have a new appreciation for attachment theory and its practical applications for personal and team development.

Sound Bites

  • "It's really about learning these practical strategies to clear up your mind so that you feel the most effective when you come up to a stressful situation."
  • "This idea of psychological safety, it basically has the same effect on our bodies and our minds as physical safety."
  • "It's really all about clearing cognitive space, especially when you're stressed."
  • "The ability to be able to even name how they're feeling. Often when people have insecure attachment, they have this phenomenon that we psychologists call alexithymia."
  • "We are social beings, and we need to stay connected to others to be able to achieve everything that we need to achieve."
  • "It's amazing how these things still continue to impact us years after, even when those situations and circumstances have changed."
