Episode Synopsis

Intro: In Part 1, we get practical about leading with purpose, setting a clear North Star, and turning teams from "doers" into owners. We also unpack "draft-on impact"—the ripple effects leaders must see before they ship.  Summary: We talk about scaling with engagement (head + heart), why great leaders set outcomes—not tasks—and how asking "why" repeatedly sharpens strategy. We explore echo chambers as an unintended consequence of product choices, and why pace without participation kills buy-in. Finally, we land on trust and psychological safety as the foundation for everything else.  Highlights & Key Takeaways: Outcome > Orders: Point people to a North Star; let tactics live close to the work.  Draft-On Impact: Model second-order effects (e.g., polarization, FOMO) before launch.  Speed with Care: Going fast is useless if it blocks information flow and buy-in.  Trust = Safety: Engagement and commitment grow when people feel safe and seen.  Next Steps: Ask your team: What's our North Star this quarter? Map two "draft-on impacts" for your top initiative and how you'll mitigate them. List one place speed is harming buy-in—and what you'll slow down to explain.  Connect with Michael Cerda:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcerda/
