The Best Personality Assessment for Leadership Development (And When to Use Each One)
In this episode of Leading in Change, Adrian Owen Jones and Melissa Thompson break down the most commonly used personality assessments for leadership development — and give you a practical framework for figuring out which one is actually right for your situation. If you've ever done a personality assessment with your team and watched the results collect dust on a shelf six months later, if you're trying to decide between tools like DISC, CliftonStrengths, MBTI, or Working Genius and don't know where to start, or if your team keeps clashing and you can't quite put your finger on why, this episode will give you the clarity to choose the right tool, use it the right way, and make the insights actually stick. Adrian and Melissa walk through six assessments — CliftonStrengths, Hogan, DISC, MBTI, Enneagram, and Working Genius — covering what each one is best for, what the research says about their validity, the one rule that applies to all of them, and what a genuinely good debrief looks like that turns a one-time session into real behavior change. If you want to understand your team better and actually lead more effectively as a result, this is a must-watch.📥 Free Leadership Resources https://successlabs.com/resources📩 Sign up for our newsletter: https://successlabs.com/newsletter✅ Follow Success Labs: https://www.instagram.com/success_labs https://www.tiktok.com/@successlabshqhttps://www.facebook.com/successlabs🎵 Music recorded at Otaku Sound.

The Four Forces of Resilient Leadership: People & Problem Solving (Part 2)
In this episode of Leading in Change, Adrian Owen Jones and Melissa Thompson close out the Four Forces™ of Resilient Leadership with People and Problem Solving — the two forces that determine whether a leader can actually execute in constant change. If your team doesn't trust you enough to tell you the truth, if you're making big decisions without the people closest to the work in the room, or if you keep implementing change and watching it stall because you didn't anticipate the ripple effects, this episode will give you the specific competencies that separate leaders who thrive in chaos from the ones who just survive it. They cover real-time transparency, the one 360 competency that predicts whether a leader is coachable, how to use AI to get feedback you'd never get from a person, operational foresight, inclusive problem solving, and why your best innovation ideas are probably already sitting with the people nobody has been asking. This is Part 2 of a two-part series. Part 1 covers Perspective and Purpose. If you want to lead through constant change with intention and confidence, this is a must-watch.🎧 Listen to Part 1: The Four Forces™ of Resilient Leadership: Perspective and Purpose (Part 1) www.successlabs.com/podcast 🔎 Take the Resilient Leadership Self Assessment: https://successlabs.com/four-forces📥 Free Leadership Resources https://successlabs.com/resources📩 Sign up for our newsletter: https://successlabs.com/newsletter✅ Follow Success Labs: https://www.instagram.com/success_labs https://www.tiktok.com/@successlabshq https://www.facebook.com/successlabs🎵 Music recorded at Otaku Sound.

How to Make Better Decisions (3-Part Framework for Leaders)
In this episode of Leading in Change, Adrian Owen Jones and Devin Lemoine get into one of the most universal leadership struggles right now — making decisions when you don't have complete information and everything around you is moving fast. If you're the kind of leader who keeps waiting for more data before making the call, if your team is stalled because nobody is sure whose decision it is to make, or if you've been in a high-change environment and you know you're behind on decisions that need to happen, this episode will give you a clear framework for moving forward with confidence even when the picture isn't fully clear. Adrian and Devin walk through the three-part decision making framework (Evidence, Experts, Evaluate), why most decisions are reversible even when they don't feel like it, the competing values problem that makes even obvious decisions hard, and why the opportunity cost of waiting almost always outweighs the risk of deciding wrong. If you want to get better at making decisions in uncertainty, this is a must-watch.📥 Free Leadership Resourceshttps://successlabs.com/resources📩 Sign up for our newsletter:https://successlabs.com/newsletter✅ Follow Success Labs:https://www.instagram.com/success_labshttps://www.tiktok.com/@successlabshqhttps://www.facebook.com/successlabs🎵 Music recorded at Otaku Sound.

What Leaders Need to Know About Core Values
In this episode of Leading in Change, Gloria McConnell and Adrian Owen Jones break down why most organizational values aren't actually doing anything — and what it takes to make them real. If your team has to look up the company values when you ask them to name them, if you have the words on the wall but can't point to a decision those values actually changed, or if you're leading through a period of change and feeling like there's nothing solid for your team to hold onto, this episode will give you a practical framework for making values work. Gloria and Adrian walk through the Above the Line/Below the Line exercise, the three stress-test questions every leader should answer, how to use values in feedback conversations instead of a policy manual, and what it looks like when values actually cost you something — including a real story about letting go of a multimillion dollar client. If you want your values to change how your team makes decisions, this is a must-watch.📥 Free Leadership Resourceshttps://successlabs.com/resources📩 Sign up for our newsletter:https://successlabs.com/newsletter✅ Follow Success Labs:https://www.instagram.com/success_labshttps://www.tiktok.com/@successlabshqhttps://www.facebook.com/successlabsMusic Recorded in Otaku Sound.

3 Things to Do Before Rolling Out AI in Your Organization
In this episode of Leading in Change, Adrian Owen Jones and Devin Lemoine break down what organizations need to do before rolling out AI — and why skipping these steps is exactly why most implementations stall or get reversed. If your leadership team keeps saying "we need an AI strategy" but nobody can agree on what that means, if you've already started rolling out AI tools and things aren't going the way you planned, or if you're heading into strategic planning season and want to get ahead of this before next year, this episode will give you a clear starting point.🤖 AI Readiness Assessment — Is Your Organization Ready?http://successlabs.com/ai-readiness-assessment📥 Free Leadership Resourceshttps://successlabs.com/resources📩 Sign up for our newsletter:https://successlabs.com/newsletter✅ Follow Success Labs:https://www.instagram.com/success_labshttps://www.tiktok.com/@successlabshqhttps://www.facebook.com/successlabs

Leading Your Team in the Age of AI
Most organizations are treating AI like a technology rollout. Buy the tools, get access, train the team, move on.But the leaders having the most success right now aren't the ones who moved fastest on tools. They're the ones who recognized what AI actually surfaces: a leadership design problem. Old decision-making structures that are too slow. Information that's too siloed. Teams that haven't been given the reps to think independently. Cultures where making a mistake isn't safe.In this second episode of the Leading in AI series, Adrian Owen Jones and Devin Lemoine get practical about what leaders can actually do — with the teams they have, right now — to close that gap.They cover how to scale for agility instead of consistency, how to shift decision-making from the top down to the team level, why a simple task audit is one of the most underused leadership tools available, and what it really means to invest in people when everything around them is changing.This is a conversation about the human side of AI adoption — and why getting that right matters more than getting the technology right.Part 2 of 3 in the Leading in AI series.👉 Part 1 — Managing Your Career in the Age of AIWatch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/dRmcypl7vJI?si=Yw0r_n6zkXrfbQXgListen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4fR23Db54bZYaS8cfwyuBK?si=d9iC-QFnRqmv9J0Y2PnDYgListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/is-job-security-still-possible-in-the-age-of-ai/id1896858200?i=1000774834864👉 Learn more at successlabs.com📲 Follow us @successlabs on LinkedIn and Instagram

Is Job Security Still Possible in the Age of AI?
Job security and career security are not the same thing — and understanding the difference matters more right now than it has in decades.In this first installment of a three-part Leading in AI series, Adrian Owen Jones sits down with Devin Lemoine to talk about what it actually takes to build career security in a fast-changing environment. They break down three things that determine your staying power: mastery (staying ahead of the curve, even when that means being a beginner again), reciprocal relationships (the kind where you'd confidently ask for help and confidently give it), and demonstrated impact (translating what you've done into language that actually shows your value).Devin shares the "200 person test" from her decades of outplacement work in the '90s, and Adrian breaks down the PIE framework (Projects, Image, Exposure) along with the now-well-known "BAMF binder" — a physical record of accomplishments that built her confidence walking into interviews.A grounded, practical conversation for anyone trying to think clearly about their career instead of reacting to the next headline.👉 Learn more about our work at successlabs.com📲 Follow us @successlabs on LinkedIn and Instagram
