CardCastThe Good News About Good News with Ged and MilanWelcome back to Cardcast! Today, we’re going to be talking about The Good News About Good News.When I start a meeting, I always begin with good news, and I insist my clients do the same. Starting with positivity sets the tone for the rest of the conversation. Whether it’s personal or professional, it invites people to bring their energy, humanity, and optimism into the room. A meeting that begins on a high note naturally continues with more openness, creativity, and engagement.The bad news? Not everyone embraces it right away. I’ve heard...

CardCastFunction Scorecards with Ged and MilanWelcome back to Cardcast! Today, we’re going to be talking about Function ScorecardsWhat is the purpose of Function Scorecards?A scorecard is meant to define the outcomes of a function, not to evaluate an individual’s personal performance. The key is understanding that the scorecard describes what a function within the organization is accountable for, not what one person does.This distinction helps prevent confusion and ensures that accountability is distributed correctly across the organization.Function Scorecards are one of the most powerful tools in the Metronomics system. I’ve bee...

CardCastWhy Do A-Players Leave? with Ged and MilanWelcome back to Cardcast! Today, we’re going to be talking about Why do A-Players Leave?When an A-player leaves, it’s rarely sudden. You feel the loss not just in performance, but in the quiet energy shift that follows, the meetings that drag, the spark that’s missing.These departures hurt because they’re almost always preventable. Most of the time, people don’t leave for better pay or titles; they leave because something in the environment made it impossible for them to keep giving their best.A-players thrive on vision and truth....

CardCastThe Value of Values with Ged and MilanWelcome back to Cardcast! Today, we’re going to be talking about The Value of Values.Do your company’s values live on the wall or in the day-to-day decisions of your people?It’s a question I wish more leaders would ask themselves. Too often, “values” are little more than a list of nice-sounding words: integrity, honesty, teamwork, printed on posters that inspire more eye-rolls than action. When employees hear them and groan, that’s a clear sign that your culture has a branding problem. Values that aren’t lived don’t build trust; they break it.

CardCastThe Art Of Leadership with Ged and MilanWelcome back to Cardcast! Today, we’re going to be talking about The Art of Leadership.What makes YOU a great leader?Just the other day, I found myself speaking to a sharp group of business students at McGill University—future CEOs, founders, and innovators in the making. Somewhere between the talk of frameworks and execution, I kept coming back to two thinkers who’ve shaped my own view of leadership: Patrick Lencioni and Jim Collins. And Collins’ definition—one I first heard at his workshop not long ago—has stayed with me ever since:

CardCastLimiting Mindset with Ged and MilanWelcome back to Cardcast! Today, we’re going to be talking about Limiting MindsetHow do you move beyond what you know to reach what you truly want?The Limiting Mindset. It’s that quiet voice that says, “We can’t do that because…” or “That’s not realistic given…” It’s the mindset that measures possibility by past performance, that looks backward to justify what’s ahead.As Metronomics coaches, we see it all the time. Our role, more often than not, is to help leaders notice where they’re unknowingly capping their own potential—and to...

CardCastRepetition with Ged and MilanWelcome back to Cardcast! Today, we’re going to be talking about RepetitionSome people accuse me of repeating myself, but it’s not unconscious—I’m fully aware. When ideas return, I welcome them. They come through conversations, books, or clients, and I see that as the Universe saying, This is still relevant. Repetition isn’t laziness.Repetition is good.Each time we revisit a theme, it’s not the same river. Both the river and the person stepping in have changed. The context is new, the knowledg...

CardCast5. Delegation vs Abdication with Ged and MilanWelcome back to Cardcast! Today, we’re going to be talking about Delegation vs AbdicationThis card was born out of a conversation with a COO who asked whether a task had been delegated or abdicated. That distinction hit me hard, because I’ve seen abdication disguised as delegation many times. It shows up when leaders toss something off their desk and pretend it’s no longer their responsibility.The key difference here is accountability. I can hand off a task, a problem, or even a project, but I can’t hand off my accountability for the...

CardCastLove The Problem with Ged and MilanWelcome back to Cardcast! Time zones may trip us up, but the real theme today is Love The Problem.Too often, entrepreneurs obsess over their clever solution while skipping the step that matters most: is there a real, painful problem worth solving? Greg Crabtree’s three stages—identify the problem, find a profitable way to solve it, and then tell everyone—are a clear reminder.When founders start from the solution, they risk building something nobody actually needs. The cheapest prototype isn’t the code, it’s the press release or landing page that tests whether an...

CardCastMetrics Matter with Ged and MilanWelcome back to Cardcast! Today, we’re talking about the ever-loved Metrics.We love to hate them; they feel like a burden. Yet they’re essential. Metrics are simply what we choose to count, the signals that tell us how a business is operating. The trouble is, humans aren’t naturally good at picking the right ones. We often measure what’s easy, or what we’ve always tracked, rather than what truly matters.We’ve seen countless leadership teams struggle with this. Some metrics stick around long after they’ve served their purpose, while others—the one...

CardCastThe 20 Mile March with Ged and MilanWelcome back to Cardcast! You know the drill—one card, one idea, one conversation that somehow manages to switch from coaching to donuts to polar expeditions. Today’s pick from the deck? The 20 Mile March (which is also a concept based on the book “Great by Choice” by Jim Collins).The 20 Mile March is our way of saying: discipline beats drama. It’s about committing to steady, predictable progress—rain or shine, good day or bad—without sprinting so far ahead that you burn out. Think explorers crossing the South Pole, or Southwest Airlines patiently sticking to Texas before t...

CardCastThe Sandwich Is Dead with Ged and MilanWelcome to CardCast! Now, you might be thinking, “What on earth is a CardCast!?”. Let me explain…Cardcast was inspired by a curious habit developed by Milan Veverka—carrying a deck of blank playing cards to capture memorable quotes, ideas, and reflections from coaching sessions, books, and conversations. Over time, this analog deck evolved into a digital archive, and now, this very podcast - designed to explore the stories and insights behind each card.Hosted by Ged and Milan, each episode dives into one of these cards as a conversation starter, using it to unpack topics like leadersh...
