What if some of what we call good leadership is just creating dependence?
From the newest episode
Four lines from Episode 1, word for word.
Watch the whole conversation
Jenny and Josh start where they both started: as people who liked being the one with the answers. They talk about answering questions before anyone asks them, the confidence that was partly a mask, and why, as Josh says, "it becomes easier to sit in the mud when you've sat in the mud."

Episode 1
Questioning good leadership
What if the things we've always called good leadership are creating dependence?
What this show is about
Three ideas run through every conversation.
Think for yourself
Develop your own judgment rather than depending on someone else's answers.
Understand how others think
Different isn't necessarily wrong, deficient, resistant, or less capable.
Learn to think together
Strong organizations and relationships are people bringing different strengths and ways of thinking together.
A sister and brother who both liked having the answers
Jenny spent many years in education, including middle school, where she learned what leadership feels like from the receiving end. Josh built a career on being the person with the answers.
Now they work together at Pinpoint Management, and they co-host this show. They don't always agree.
