If you've ever felt out of place or been told that your uniqueness is a liability, this podcast is for you. Welcome to the Uncommon Leadership Podcast. I'm your host, Michael Hunter—an executive coach, author of The Resilient Tech Leader, and founder of Uncommon Teams. With over 35 years in tech, including leadership roles at Microsoft and Salesforce, I've learned that you cannot build an Uncommon Team without doing the uncommon work on yourself. So, every week, I invite industry leaders, founders, and innovators to explore self-alignment and help you embody a sense of certainty in the unpredictable world of tech. Because when your certainty takes root, everything levels up. Your leadership becomes unmistakable, your contribution becomes consistent, and your presence reshapes everyone around you. Your uniqueness is a superpower. Imagine what you could create if you unleashed the Uncommon Hero you already are.2022–2024 マネジメント マネジメント・リーダーシップ 出世 就職活動 経済学

  • Leadership Isn't Supposed to Feel Like This

    Leadership Isn't Supposed to Feel Like This
    2026/06/24
    Why does leadership feel so exhausting? Why do so many smart, responsible leaders feel like they have to hold everything together? In this episode of Leadership Rewired, Michael Hunter from Uncommon Teams explores one of the biggest traps leaders eventually fall into: the belief that if they just try harder, plan better, or control more, they can guarantee the outcomes they want. But what if that's exactly what's making leadership harder? Drawing on systems thinking, decades of experience working with engineering leaders and founders, and lessons from navigating uncertainty, Michael unpacks why the need for certainty often creates more stress, overwhelm, and suffering—and why letting go isn't giving up. Inside this episode: 00:00 - Introduction 03:18 - The Princess Leia Rule 04:35 - The Illusion of Control 08:24 - If Not Control... Then What? 15:00 - The Change Model 23:02 - What is Your Real Definition of Control? 27:56 - Why Leaders Like Being In Control? 34:09 - Losing Control Can Be Scary 38:55 - Why You Don't Need to Debug Your Emotions 41:26 - Treat Emotions as Data 46:15 - The 2-Minute Rewire Challenge If you're a founder, engineering leader, executive, or someone navigating change, complexity, and the pressure to have all the answers, this conversation is for you.

    How To Build Habits That Don't Break Under Pressure ft. CHRISTOPH merrill
    2026/06/17
    Do your daily routines dissolve the moment pressure hits? If so, you aren't failing. And you definitely aren't broken. You just haven't had the chance to test your habits under duress. In this episode of the Uncommon Leadership Podcast, I sit down with CHRISTOPH merrill, The Habit Freak, to dismantle mainstream advice on habit formation. CHRISTOPH shares his take on why habits formed in perfect conditions often act more like hobbies, and why a leader's true responsibility is to apply just enough pressure to build their team's resilience without breaking their spirit. In this episode, we explore: Why your team's true culture is only revealed when the pressure is on.How to use Tiny Experiments to practice failing safely and eliminate the fear of failure.Why removing obstacles is actually more effective than forcing a new path.How to reframe high-stakes pressure as a valuable data-collection tool instead of a threat.

  • How to Lead When Your Brain Wants to Go Into Survival Mode? ft. Mitch Weisburgh

    How to Lead When Your Brain Wants to Go Into Survival Mode? ft. Mitch Weisburgh
    2026/06/10
    Most leaders believe they are being rational. But when you only see two options, that is not a choice — it is a paradox. And it is one of the clearest signs your survival brain has taken over. In this episode of the Uncommon Leadership Podcast, I sit down with Mitch Weisburgh, author of MindShifting: Stop Your Brain from Sabotaging Your Happiness and Success, to unpack why even experienced leaders keep getting stuck in reactive patterns — and what it actually takes to shift out of them. We get into the neuroscience behind the five limbic mode reactions, how to recognise when your survival brain is running the show, and why your emotions are not obstacles to good leadership — they are data. We also talk through the rule of three as a practical decision-making framework for leaders operating under pressure. And there is something I found genuinely useful in this conversation: using AI to rehearse difficult conversations before they happen, including how to instruct it to actually push back on you so the practice feels real. If you have ever caught yourself reacting in a way you immediately regretted, this one is worth your time. Before you go- What is one thing you are doing today to make your life a little better? I'm curious. Let me know!
