You might have missed some of our earlier episodes with powerhouse thought leaders and experts.
I’m excited to bring back one of our most popular episodes from last year for an encore. Whether you’re hearing it for the first time, or you’re giving it a second listen, I hope you enjoy this insightful conversation.
In this episode, I talk to the legendary Dave Ulrich. Dave is a well-known, highly acclaimed speaker, author, and professor. Dave has been ranked as the #1 management guru by Business Week and has a passion for ideas with impact. His bestselling books and popular speeches have helped shape the corporate agenda, and his work has completely revolutionized the way human resources is practiced and viewed in companies today.
You’ll hear Dave offer his savvy, no-nonsense, and practical thoughts about the multiple paradoxes leaders face and how to resolve them. We talk about the balance between task and relationship and how great leaders spend their time and energy. He emphasizes the importance of taking care of others, forming strong bonds and relationships, and co-creating a sustainable business with others. While complexity and uncertainty are givens, human connection and our guiding principles provide a simplifying compass to help us navigate the way forward.
In this episode:
- The human aspect of leadership
- Judging people by more than just their behavior. What is their intent?
- Providing value through giving people what they need, not what we know
- Being a leader does not mean knowing everything

Noteworthy Quotes from This Episode
“I think that’s part of leadership today. I think in a technology-enabled world, it’s one of those fascinating theories of paradox. We’re more isolated. You’re in an office, I’m in an office, but we’re also more intimate. You can see my office and you’re able to ask me about it”
“When you work with people, understand where they’re coming from. Don’t just judge them by their behavior, judge them also by their intent and heritage.”
“The most successful leaders navigate paradox. They know how to manage the tensions.”
“The best thing you can give an employee in a company is a company that succeeds. If your company doesn’t succeed in the marketplace, there is no purpose. There is no experience. There’s no job.”
