Season 4 Episode 189 - Plottin' And Schemin' For Success

In this episode “Plottin’ and Schemin’ for Success,” Dr. Joe Hamlett and Dr. Dave Peltz unpack strategic planning as a form of plotting and scheming—not as sabotage, but as intentional design toward your personal and professional goals. They reflect on how, early in their careers (for Dave, in the military), success was more about following a prescribed path, but as their ambitions grew, so did the necessity for deliberate, thoughtful navigation—including researching culture, gauging expectations, and modulating their approach to others. They caution that others may misinterpret your ambition as threat or rivalry, so awareness and emotional intelligence are critical in how you present your journey. Ultimately, the message is: be intentional, plan strategically, but also be adaptive and considerate of the context in which you operate.JONSOP Website: https://jonsop.comEmail: [e-mail] Dr. Joe Hamlett ⁠Email: [e-mail]⁠ Website: http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com ⁠LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjoehamlett/⁠ Link In Bio: http:/www.leading2changeconsulting.com/linkinbio/ Dr. Dave Peltz ⁠Email: [e-mail]⁠ ⁠Website: https://www.PeltzConsultingServices.com/services⁠ ⁠LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-david-peltz-phd/⁠ Link In Bio: https://tinyurl.com/DrDavePeltz Music intro & Outro provided by David T.
