Ryne is responsible for Hogan's groundbreaking research into well validated personality assessments for the workplace. He's also the recipient of a National Science Foundation grant and the host of his own podcast with Blake Loop, The Science of Personality, which explores trends in personality psychology."I think the research is becoming clearer and clearer that actually anyone can be a more effective leader. So whether you're in a leadership role now or whether you aspire to being one or even if you're not even thinking about being one, you don't think you have the skills to be one, anyone can be an effective leader but it really starts with understanding what your strengths are and what your weaknesses are and how to how to adapt to particular circumstances." - Ryne ShermanWith tough macroeconomic times and generational changes in terms of what's wanted in leadership and teams , Jayson and Ryne are exploring this topic more. Plus, they talk about the history of leadership, how we went off course and are trying to get back on course and what sort of anthropology and sociology and social psychology and personality psychology can tell us about that.Learn more by visiting our website and follow along with us on Instagram.

It takes a unique person who is innovative, ambitious, bold and hard charging enough to be a successful entrepreneur. Those unique qualities that make up these leaders shape startup culture and lead to early success and can eventually lead to failure as organizations mature and transition. Jerry Colonna, an executive coach and former venture capitalist at Flatiron Partners, joins us to talk about the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, the cultures they create and risks as their companies evolve."I grew up with questioning safety. Questioning reality. I was just on a call with a coaching client where we were talking about he too had a mother who is mentally Ill and the difficulty of grasping what's real and what's not real. That constant sense of gaslighting and you know,for me, it created a positive side. It created what I often referred to as a hypervigilance where I read rooms." - Jerry ColonnaLearn more by visiting our website and follow along with us on Instagram.
