Most leaders aren't prepared for the role they're in

The reality is that many people are thrust into leadership positions without appropriate training. When you don’t know what you don’t know, it’s challenging to produce the stellar results that your people expect of you.

Fast-forward through the trial and error

Most leaders learn through painful (and expensive) trial and error. The LeaderSHOP podcast changes that. Each episode features deep conversations with people who’ve mastered the “people stuff”—and they share exactly how you can master it too.

Learn how successful leaders get their teams to deliver on promises instead of excuses

Discover frameworks for implementing change and real-world stories that prove they work

Master the people skills that turn good individual performers into great collaborative teams

40 years of learning what successful leaders know

As a young journalist, Dr. Duncan covered business and politics, watching people try to translate their rhetoric into measurable results. That curiosity led him to spend four decades coaching leaders at every level—from White House cabinet officers to mid-level managers struggling with their first promotion.

Dr. Duncan watched brilliant people fail because nobody taught them how to engage heads, hearts, and hopes. He also saw ordinary managers achieve extraordinary results once they learned the right frameworks.

The LeaderSHOP podcast shares these lessons through conversations with the thought leaders who’ve shaped how leadership is done.

Real conversations about what works

Most podcasts give you surface-level tips from people selling their latest book. The LeaderSHOP podcast is different.

Leveraging Dr. Duncan’s background as an award-winning journalist and four decades as a leadership consultant, he engages thought leaders in deep conversations about what really works when you need to transform organizations.
