Jan doesn't hold back here. If someone's getting paid but not delivering, there's only two possibilities, and neither one is good for your team or your business. This hit hard because we've all kept someone around too long, hoping they'd turn it around. The math doesn't lie though. Every month you wait, you're choosing to lose that money and opportunity cost.

You know what kills high-performance teams faster than anything else? It's not lack of talent or resources. It's the sand people, the ones grinding away in your gears while you're trying to lubricate the machine. Jim and Jan got real about this one because honestly, they've both been that person at some point in their careers. The math is brutal: one slightly bad team member is way more powerful than your best superstar, and your A-players? They're already looking for the exit if you're not upholding standards. We even threw in a Star Wars reference because why not.

Listen to episode 493 where they break down how to spot sand people, why firing someone has never been regretted (seriously, never), and what it really costs when you don't act. https://bit.ly/tlp-493

Nike's message is the same everywhere—the voice of the athlete. But Jinky Panganiban learned you can't just export it. You have to translate it. In the US, that's a high school girl competing to win. In Asia, that's a hip hop dancer expressing movement and belonging. Same purpose, totally different ex*****on. That's the skill of leading global teams—listening deeply, understanding local context, then connecting it back to the mission. Translation work is where trust and creativity happen.

Jinky Panganiban doesn't mess around when teaching at Oregon's SPM program. Students stay in the same project teams for 18 months. Deadlines get tight. Tempers rise. Not everyone agrees.

We're obsessed with "doing". Checklists. Deliverables. Hitting goals. But Jinky Panganiban teaches her students at Oregon's SPM program something different—leadership starts with being.

We spend so much time teaching people to fit in. But what if the real power is in standing out? Jinky Panganiban spent her early years at Nike trying to mold herself into what she thought leadership looked like. Then three mentors told her to stop. They showed her that her cultural lens wasn't a barrier—it was her biggest asset.

Now she's teaching the next generation at Oregon's Sports Product Management Program that leadership starts with being, not doing. Worth a listen.

West Point grad and serial entrepreneur Jack Swift says we've been trained wrong. We let our ego and credentials drive every decision, but the leaders who actually move fast? They're listening to their gut and putting the Harvard degree in the passenger seat. Sounds wild until you realize instinct doesn't need to be right, it just needs to learn. And that's how you keep pace with machines operating at the speed of light.
