Between 45 and 50% of your daily actions are habitual, says today’s guest, Dr. Ron Dufresne.

Dr. Dufresne is a Professor of Management and Director of the Leadership, Ethics and Organizational Sustainability Program at St. Joseph’s University. He focuses on leadership and ethics with a particular emphasis on the role of character in leadership.

Daniel and Peter welcome Ron to discuss habits and their role in leadership. Ron suggests that habits aren’t all bad. They “take away a lot of the need for that deliberative, very cognitively taxing work that we need to do as leaders,” he says, and allow us to “focus our attention on the things that really matter.”

But habits may not always serve who we want to be as leaders–or as humans.

Tune in to learn:

• How to know when it’s time to change a habit
• How to break a habit loop and start a new one
• Two essential leadership habits to start cultivating for long-term success

Aristotle suggested that habits are practices of character, says Dr. Dufresne. “We are what we habitually do.” When we approach our habits with intentionality and self-reflection, we can become the leaders we want to be.

What if the same drive that built your career is quietly eroding your relationships at home?

When leaders ignore how their behaviors at work are affecting their most important relationships, it leads to exhaustion and burnout, says Lisa Skeffington. “It’s that constant pushing through the whole time, and it’s depleting your physiology without you even realizing that it happens,” she says.

Lisa is a multi-award winning psychotherapist, executive coach, and author with over 25 years in private practice. She joins Daniel and Peter to discuss emotional wealth and how to bring your best self to both work and home.

Tune in to learn:

• Key characteristics of a mentally and emotionally strong leader
• The three pillars of emotional wealth
• Some daily practices that can help develop emotional wealth

Lisa promotes a shift in mindset around success–away from “achieving more and having more” to “being fully present and connected to the life and the people we have around us so that we begin to regard emotional wealth as seriously as financial wealth.”

Whether it’s your first leadership role or one you’ve entered after decades of leading people, one thing is sure: your first 90 days in a new position can make or break your tenure.

In today’s conversation, Daniel and Peter look at what leaders should and shouldn’t do during their first 90 days. “It’s not a standard checklist for everybody,” says Peter, “and not everybody’s going to come in and do it the exact same way.”

Tune in to learn:

• Why you shouldn’t spend your entire 90 days listening
• The danger of focusing on your favorite aspects of your role
• How to cultivate a good working relationship with your boss

Plus, a fun conversation about the origins of some of the most iconic American companies–and the lessons a huge pivot can offer leaders.
