  • From Instinct to Intent: Communicating with Clarity

    From Instinct to Intent: Communicating with Clarity
    Jul 7 2026
    Leaders often communicate well in formal settings but can sometimes struggle in informal, in-the-moment interactions. When they revert to their “base case” habits, speaking quickly, shifting context, or sounding abrupt, it creates confusion, misinterpretation, and gaps in understanding across teams.

    In this episode, host Robert Williams is joined by TMG Managing Director Liz Kelly and Director Maizie Nelson to explore why communication breaks down in these everyday moments and how leaders can improve clarity. They share practical strategies like “going to manual,” setting context quickly, and focusing on a single takeaway to ensure messages land effectively.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    • Why leaders default to communication habits that create misalignment
    • The importance of setting context and landing one clear takeaway
    • Why tone, repetition, and channel choice matter more in times of uncertainty
    • How to adapt communication styles for different people without changing the core message

  • Seeing the Whole Field: Becoming An Enterprise Leader

    Seeing the Whole Field: Becoming An Enterprise Leader
    Jun 23 2026
    The move from individual contributor to talent leader operating with an enterprise mindset is one of the most significant shifts leaders make. It’s not just about taking on more responsibility, but about changing how you create impact. Leaders are no longer driving results merely as individuals; they’re delivering outcomes through others while navigating complexity and competing priorities.

    In this episode, host Robert Williams sits down with TMG Senior Managing Directors John Nasr and Managing Director Billy Stern to explore what it really takes to make that transition successfully. They discuss what it looks like to inherit an existing management system, how to align with team expectations, and why developing “leadership range” is essential for long-term effectiveness.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    • Making the transition from individual contributor to talent leader
    • How to operate effectively in a matrix organization
    • Building influence through empathy, preparation, and stakeholder alignment
    • Delegating reversible “field general” decisions while holding onto irreversible “Pentagon general” choices
    • Developing talent and reading the broader organizational field before acting

  • The Problem with Performance Reviews

    The Problem with Performance Reviews
    Jun 9 2026
    Performance reviews often fall short because they’re treated as a single conversation rather than the outcome of a year-long management process. When expectations aren’t clearly defined, and feedback isn’t captured along the way, reviews can become vague, shaped by recency bias, or less useful than they should be.

    In this episode, host Bobby Williams is joined by Taylor Griffin and Courtney Hamilton to discuss how leaders can run reviews that actually drive results. The conversation covers how to define clear standards, stay close to performance throughout the year, and turn the review itself into a forward-looking discussion about what comes next.

    In this episode, we discuss:
    • Why reviews are often vague or overly influenced by recent events
    • How defining the “gold star” improves accountability
    • The “captain’s log” method for capturing performance examples throughout the year
    • How to deliver feedback in a way that reduces defensiveness and drives change
