Can AI Do This? You're Asking the Wrong Question - Thoughts from Kevin
"Can AI do this?" It's a question I hear all the time, and I've certainly asked it. The answer is often yes. But the most important question isn't whether it can. It's whether we want it to. In this episode, I share the four questions I ask myself before handing work to AI, and that I urge you to ask as a leader. I also share an organizational thought: why training people on AI tools isn't enough,
Making the Most of In-Person Work with Natalia Emanuel & Emma Harrington

How to Unify a Divided Team - Thoughts from Kevin
A unified team sounds like a dream. But unity might not be what you think. It isn't compliance, and it isn't everyone getting along all the time. Unity is a choice people make, one person at a time, one day at a time, based on what they see and feel from you and others on the team. You can't require it, but you can absolutely influence it. In this episode, I share four ways to build unity on your
The Science to Resilient Optimism with Michelle Gielan
What does it take to stay optimistic when life is difficult, uncertain, or simply not going according to plan? Kevin sits down with Michelle Gielan to explore the science of resilient optimism.

Michelle explains how resilient optimism combines a realistic view of
The Leader's Role in Navigating Negativity - Thoughts from Kevin
Should leaders be the morale police? Persistent negativity is a problem for teams, and leaders do need to navigate it. But I don't think policing it is the answer. In this episode I share five reasons why, and what to do instead. It comes down to modeling the morale you want, paying attention to context, acting before negativity becomes persistent, and focusing on behaviors rather than labels. If
Leading Hearts and Minds Through Turbulent Times with Owen Fitzpatrick
What do leaders need to understand about how beliefs shape people's responses to change? Kevin sits down with Owen Fitzpatrick to talk about the idea of "inner propaganda" and why changing beliefs requires more than logic, evidence, or data.

The Practices of Resilient Companies with Ron Robinson
How can leaders build organizations that remain responsive and successful through constant disruption?

Do You Want a Learning Culture? - Thoughts from Kevin
Do you have a training calendar? Great — but that doesn't mean you have a learning culture. In this episode, I break down what a learning culture actually is: the way we do things around here, when it comes to learning.

What If We Don't Have Time for Training? - Thoughts from Kevin
"We don't have time for training." I hear it constantly — and honestly, that's okay. Training isn't the only tool in your learning toolkit. In this episode, I share four ways to build development into the work itself, without blocking extra time: creating reflection time, building learning channels, encouraging people to share what they're learning, and applying today's tools. None of these replac

Are You Walking the Talk? - Thoughts from Kevin
When you're training leaders, here's a question worth asking yourself: are your people watching you do the things you're asking them to do? In this episode, I talk about why it's not whether someone attended a training that matters. It's whether they're taking action on it. And if you want your people to actually change their behavior, there are two questions you have to answer honestly: do they k
Creating Transformation Through a Culture of Inquiry with Sebastian Wernicke
How can leaders use data to make better decisions and drive real change?

Sebastian explains the difference between being data-driven, data-frustrated, and data-inspired. He believes that data should not only confirm and optimize what
Two Conversations You Aren't Having - Thoughts from Kevin
You send people to training. They come back, and... nothing changes. So whose fault is that — the training? The trainer? The learner? Actually, there's a fourth option: you. There are two conversations every leader should be having around any training their team attends — one before, one after — and most of us aren't having either one consistently. In this episode, I walk through exactly what to s

In this episode, Kevin is joined by Suzie Bishop and Sam Shriver to revisit situational leadership and discuss why this decades-old model may be more relevant than ever.

Beating the Forgetting Curve - Thoughts from Kevin

We dig into why she calls culture an "operating system," her five
Why Training Doesn't Stick - Thoughts from Kevin
Do you ever wonder why training doesn't stick? It's rarely about the quality of the training itself. In this episode, I break down the three things that have to happen for new skills to actually change how someone works — and why that almost never happens without help from their leader.

Silent Expectations Aren't Expectations at All - Thoughts from Kevin
Have you ever been frustrated because someone on your team didn't do what you expected — but you never actually told them what you expected? In this episode, Kevin breaks down the "silent expectation" problem: why it guarantees future disappointment, why your assumptions aren't obvious to anyone but you, and why the fix starts with getting clear in your own head before you can get clear with your

The Power of the Pause - Thoughts from Kevin
What if you paused? We live in a world that keeps getting faster — and that speed is exactly why pauses matter more than ever.

Kristy explains that leaders often confuse alignment with true agreement, and that real progress begins when teams a
The Habit-Identity Connection - Thoughts from Kevin
Are you what you do? James Clear says identity change is the North Star for habit change — and he's right. But it works the other way too: your habits are quietly shaping your identity. In this episode, I talk about the two-way loop between habits and identity, why "your labels, your limits" applies to how you see yourself, and what this means for the culture of your team — because culture is re

How Leaders Can Create Urgency Without Creating Panic
Do you create the right amount of urgency? Urgency can help us take action, move faster, and get important work done.

My name is Kevin Eikenberry and I'm here to help you reach your goal as
It's Not the Workload, It's the Thought Load with Dr. Liane Davey
How much of your team's struggle is really about the work and how much is about everything else? In this episode, Kevin talks with Dr. Liane Davey about why the real challenge many teams face isn't simply workload, but "thought load". Liane defines this as the rising cognitive demands, emotional burdens, and depleted energy reserves that make work feel heavier than it may appear. She explains how
What Are You Worried About? - Thoughts from Kevin
Americans spend an average of 138 minutes a day worrying — that's 35 days a year lost to "what if." In this episode, I share a simple three-question framework that helps you figure out which worries deserve your attention and which ones you should just let go. It's not about pretending problems don't exist. It's about spending your mental energy where it actually counts. The three questions: 1. Is
The M.A.G.I.C. Rules of Leadership with Claire Brumby

Claire introduces her MAGIC framework—mindset, awakening, gumption, intuition, and charisma. She explains how each element helps leaders reconnect with who t
Are You Stubborn or Persistent? - Thoughts from Kevin
Are you stubborn or persistent? At first glance, the two words seem closely related. They can describe similar behaviors and actions. But one usually feels negative, while the other feels positive. Most of us would rather be called persistent than stubborn. And as leaders, that distinction matters. In this episode, Kevin Eikenberry explains why the labels we use shape the way we see people, intera
Leading Breakthrough Strategy in Volatile Times with Rebecca Homkes
How can leaders turn uncertainty, which can feel like fear, into an opportunity for growth? In this episode, Kevin sits down with Dr. Rebecca Homkes to explore why volatile times require a different approach to strategy. Rebecca explains that uncertainty is not automatically bad; it is simply a set of future events that may or may not occur. Leaders have a responsibility to help their teams refram
Do You Know What Your Team Wants From You?
Last week I talked about the idea that our team members are our customers. This week, I'm taking that idea further. We spend a lot of time thinking about what we expect from our team.

In this episode, I share four things that can help: thinking of your team as a customer, asking them directly what they want and
Leadership Mental Health with Melissa Doman

Stop Leading Others the Way You Want to Be Led
Most leaders assume they should lead others the way they would want to be led. It sounds reasonable—but it can actually limit your effectiveness. In this episode, I share a different perspective: your team members are your customers. And just like customers, they may need something different from you than what you would want yourself. If you want to become a more effective leader, it starts by und
Design Love in With Marcus Buckingham
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.

Four Ways AI Can (Really) Help You - Thoughts from Kevin

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.

Are You Willing to Ask for Help? - Thoughts from Kevin
Are you willing to ask for help? I've learned that asking for help isn't weakness—it's awareness. And as a leader, it can make all the difference in your results and your relationships. You've been there—I know I have. You're stuck. You know you could ask for help… but you don't. So the real question is: why? In this episode of Remarkable TV, I share why asking for help is one of the most importan

Do You Reward Overpreparation? - Thoughts from Kevin

Your Best Meeting Ever with Rebecca Hinds
What if you treated every meeting you lead as a product you were responsible for designing?

How Often Do You Think About Your Habits? - Thoughts from Kevin
How often do you think about your habits? The reality is that a large portion of what we do every day is automatic. And while habits help us function efficiently, they can also quietly limit our growth—especially if we never stop to examine them. In this episode, I explore the double-edged nature of habits: why they are essential, why they can be dangerous, and how unexamined habits may be holding
Designing the Employee Experience with Dean Carter
Are you designing your employee experience or just letting it happen? Most leaders talk about employee experience, but few intentionally shape it. In this episode, Kevin sits down with Dean Carter to explore why that's a costly mistake. Dean gets to the point: What do your employees actually experience every single day? Because while culture is what your organization is, employee experience is wha
Are Your Leaders Clear?
Clarity is one of the most powerful — and most overlooked — leadership advantages. When leaders are clear about goals, priorities, strategy, and expectations, their teams can perform at a much higher level.

Why Leaders Must Put Thoughts Into Words
Have you ever had an idea that felt perfectly clear in your head… until you tried explaining it? Suddenly someone asks a question, and the idea that seemed so solid starts to fall apart.

Amy Jacobson joins Kevin to discuss what emotional intelligence really is and why it matters more than ever.

Are You Thinking Enough? - Remarkable TV
Are you thinking enough? In a world filled with constant notifications, endless meetings, and nonstop busyness, deep thinking has become rare. But leadership isn't built on reacting — it's built on thoughtful decisions. If you want better results, stronger influence, and smarter choices, you must protect time to think.

Are You Delegating Work or Developing People? - Thoughts from Kevin
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 we
Better Hybrid Habits (in 20 Minutes or Less)
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.

Is Coasting Costing You? - Thoughts from Kevin
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 lea
