Kevin Eikenberry challenges the traditional notion of patience as merely waiting. Instead, he introduces the concept of proactive patience — a dynamic and intentional approach that involves movement, reflection, and growth even during periods of waiting. Kevin highlights the balance between slowing down without becoming passive and maintaining forward momentum without forcing outcomes. He emphasizes the importance of having a clear vision, trusting the process, and maintaining a long-term orientation, especially in uncertain times. This mindset shift helps leaders continue progressing toward their goals even when immediate results aren't visible. Key Takeaways Patience isn't passive: True patience involves intentional action, not just idle waiting. Proactive patience: Strike a balance between pausing and continuing to work toward your vision. Keep your goals in sight: Maintain focus on your long-term objectives even during pauses. Reflect and act: Use moments of waiting for thoughtful reflection that leads to deliberate action. Trust the process: Growth often includes plateaus and setbacks — stay committed to the journey. Think long-term: See waiting as a temporary moment within a larger path of progress. Flexible Leadership: Kevin ties these ideas to his new book, encouraging a mindset of "both/and" rather than "either/or."

Are you empowering others or unleashing agency? In this episode, Judith Katz and Fred Miller join Kevin to discuss the role of agency in the workplace. While autonomy and authority are often topics of discussion, agency — the ability for all individuals, regardless of their role or tenure, to possess power, influence, and a voice — is crucial for high-performance organizations. They explain how organizational cultures often "smother" this natural agency through excessive rules, approvals, and "checkers checking checkers," which leads to the slow implementation of even the best strategies. Judith and Fred highlight that organizations need to transition from control-based leadership to trust-based leadership.

Kevin sits down with Michael Chad Hoeppner to discuss the physical nature of communication and exercises we can do to get better. Michael challenges our common assumptions about speaking, such as believing it’s purely a mental activity. Instead, he introduces the concept of embodied cognition, explaining how communication is a physical activity involving over 100 muscles and should be approached like athletic training. Michael shares the science behind thought suppression and why focusing on "not saying um" is counterproductive. He also talks about the Five Ps of vocal variety (Pace, Pitch, Pause, Power, Placement) and how they impact your message.

Are you focused or merely busy? Jones Loflin sits down with Kevin to reveal the secret of focus, inspired by honeybees. Jones introduces six essential "permissions" that individuals must grant themselves and emphasizes their particular importance for leaders, who not only need to practice these permissions personally but also guide their team members to recognize and adopt them. These permissions include: The Permission to Prioritize – Bees prioritize maintaining the hive before making honey. How can we identify our most critical goals? The Permission to Plan – Similar to how bees prepare for changing conditions, how can we proactively set ourselves up for success? The Permission to Be Unavailable – Constant accessibility can hinder productivity. How can leaders create an environment conducive to deep work? The Permission to Recharge – Bees rest more than they work. What lessons can we draw from this behavior? The Permission to Change – Often, we stick to habits that are no longer beneficial. How can we embrace necessary changes? The Permission to Be Consistent – Although change is crucial, success frequently arises from disciplined, repeated actions.

How can leaders effectively work with and lead people who are different from them? Kevin welcomes Kelly McDonald to explore the challenges and benefits of leading diverse teams and how embracing different perspectives can drive better business outcomes. She explains why the term "diversity" has become a challenge in workplaces and offers practical strategies for leaders to navigate workplace differences, such as using the powerful phrases "Tell me more about that" and "I need your help" to foster understanding and collaboration. She also shares why diverse teams consistently outperform homogeneous ones across all business metrics, even though working with different perspectives can feel more challenging.

In this special edition of The Evolving Workplace series, Wayne Turmel explores the three dominant work models that have emerged in the post-pandemic world: fully remote, fully in-office, and hybrid work. While the debate continues over which model is best, Wayne takes an objective look at the pros, cons, and realities of each approach. From cost savings and productivity in remote-first organizations to the structure and collaboration of in-office setups—and the often messy compromise of hybrid work—this episode dives deep into what works, what doesn’t, and how leaders can make the best decisions for their teams. Key Takeaways: Remote-First Work: Allows for talent-first hiring without geographical constraints. Increases flexibility and engagement for self-motivated employees. Challenges: branding, measuring productivity, and maintaining team culture. In-Office Work: Facilitates faster communication and relationship-building. Provides structured onboarding and training. Challenges: high costs, limited hiring pool, and less flexibility. Hybrid Work: Offers flexibility employees want while maintaining some in-person collaboration. Challenges: scheduling complexities, proximity bias, and workspace inefficiencies. Wayne also discusses the impact of leadership experience, employee expectations, and how different industries must tailor their approach to work models. 🔹 "Hybrid work isn’t a strategy—it’s often a hostage negotiation." 🔹 Resources & Links: 📘 Learn more about leadership in remote and hybrid teams at KevinEikenberry.com . 🎙 Catch up on Long-Distance Worklife episodes at LongDistanceWorklife.com . 📌 Chapters & Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro: The Workplace is Evolving 01:13 – How We Got Here: A Brief History of Remote Work 02:12 – The Three Work Models: Remote, Hybrid, & In-Office 03:46 – Deep Dive: Remote-First Work (Pros & Cons) 08:53 – Challenges of Remote Work: Disengagement, Branding & Leadership Struggles 10:18 – Why Some Companies Are Forcing Return to Office 12:41 – In-Office Work: Benefits of Physical Presence & Structure 15:10 – Hybrid Work: Flexibility or Just a Compromise? 18:14 – The Real Problems with Hybrid Work 20:38 – How Leaders Can Navigate the Future of Work 21:46 – Final Thoughts & What’s Next in Workplace Tech…

Are you subsidizing your business success at the cost of your own well-being? Andy Brown defines this as emotional overdraft and just like a financial overdraft, these behaviors might work in the short term but become unsustainable and costly over time. Andy explains to Kevin that while this behavior is common, it can lead to stress, burnout, and reduced personal and professional effectiveness. Andy shares habitual behaviors, or "drivers," that contribute to emotional overdraft, such as urgency, overcommitment, and lack of trust. He also suggests that work-life balance is a helpful expression, he advocates for integrating work as part of life and recognizing seasons of focus and rest. Further, he provides some examples so we can mitigate emotional overdraft.

What does it mean to empower your team to make good decisions? Chris Seifert tells Kevin that empowerment is more than a buzzword, it requires leaders to build both the competence and confidence of their team. Chris shares his decision-making framework designed to address two critical organizational issues: poor root cause analysis and ineffective decision-making in complex environments. Through real-world examples, Chris reveals how clear "decision rights" can transform organizations, empowering teams while enabling leaders to focus on strategic priorities. He also shares that it’s important to document the decision-making process to prevent hindsight bias or the curse of knowledge.
