The leadership moment is shifting.

On this episode, we wrap up Season One of the show (we think we mean it this time!) and our co-host and lead producer of the show, Brianna Griffin, shares some big news.

This week's show isn't a goodbye episode but a cliffhanger. What will happen next? We aren't sure yet and we need your help.

Onward!

Sixteen episodes into this show and we're finally sitting down with one of the co-authors of the book that was a catalyst for this podcast! And despite tons of interviews and podcast appearances promoting the book, she still finds she has something new to say.

Julia join us today to talk about her experience co-authoring When Everyone Leads and what she's been up to since the book was published at the end of January. She shares how this yellow book is the "why" behind what we teach at the Kansas Leadership Center.

We've had a blast planning, recording and producing When Everyone Leads: The Podcast! While the season has come to a close, we do want to share two bonus episodes with you.

This conversation features a longtime friend of the Kansas Leadership Center, David Chrislip. David has been connected to KLC since before our beginning and co-authored one of our books on civic leadership. We sat down with him to hear about the origin of The Gap questions and why they work. 

1. When you think about the future of (your topic, organization, community, etc.) what concerns you the most?
2. What are your greatest aspirations?
3. What gets people stuck in the gap between concerns and aspirations?

What would happen if everyone led on improving the public education system? What does it look like to work across factions when it comes to the topic of schools adapting to our ever-changing society?

Join Chris and Brianna in conversation with Dr. Randy Watson for a rich dialogue on an episode of When Everyone Leads: The Podcast.

Dr. Randy Watson has served as the Kansas Commissioner of Education since November 2014. His long-time career in education spans nearly every level of the field, all while serving Kansas students - first as a teacher and coach, followed by administrative positions as principal and superintendent, and as part-time faculty for higher education. During his tenure with the Kansas State Department of Education, Dr. Watson has become known for his passion to position Kansas as an innovator in rethinking a century-old school model.

Can everyone really lead at work? How can individuals authorize themselves to exercise leadership regardless of position? What is the role of authority in building leadership capacity for employees?

A tech industry professional, Sheila O'Connor, joins Chris and Brianna in a conversation about these questions and more on the latest episode of When Everyone Leads: The Podcast.

Sheila suggests that a tool for positive culture change is intentionally introducing a shared language. She experienced this first-hand when a number of her colleagues attended Kansas Leadership Center training together.

She doesn't believe that everyone has to lead, all the time though. Organizations and companies may need just enough people exercising leadership in order to make progress.
