leadership ⁽⁷⁾

346 people died because Boeing forgot they build airplanes, not spreadsheets. Meanwhile, an aluminum company increased value 9x by focusing on worker safety over profits. What's the difference? The leadership approach.

What You'll Learn:

• 🔴 The Boeing disaster: How "run like a business" thinking killed engineering excellence
• 🟢 The Alcoa transformation: Why focusing on safety created trust (and massive profits)
• 📊 The $8.8 trillion problem: Global cost of employee disengagement
• ⚡ The real pattern: Trust consistently beats control in measurable outcomes

Key Examples:

• Boeing's culture shift from engineering-first to finance-first
• Paul O'Neill's radical safety focus at Alcoa (9x market value increase)
• Why military "mission command" works better than traditional hierarchy
• IBM, Ford, Sears, Kodak - what separated winners from losers

Ever wonder why your best moments at work happened when someone trusted you to figure it out? Most of us know intuitively that freedom and trust lead to better results - so why do most organizations still operate like it's 1950?

In this episode, I introduce The Liberty Framework - four simple principles that create conditions where human creativity naturally aligns with business success:

• 🎯 Autonomy within clear boundaries - Maximum freedom within minimal necessary structure
• 📊 Evidence over authority - Let data win, regardless of hierarchy
• 📋 Information follows decision rights - Give people the context they need to succeed
• 🎯 Purpose connects individual to collective impact - Clear line of sight from daily work to meaningful outcomes
