There exists a strong causal relationship between culture and productivity. “Strong productivity is the result of many things, but at its foundation is a winning culture,” says Todd Davis, chief people officer for FranklinCovey and author of the new book, Get Better: 15 Proven Practices to Build Effective Relationships at Work. According to Davis, “The greater the culture, the more productive people will be, because they are engaged. Human beings excel when they are happy and doing what they enjoy. And when they excel, they produce.”But recent data suggests that more employees will be working from home once the COVID-19 pandemic is over as more employers report that their staff can effectively do their jobs remotely.  The three major tech companies – Dropbox, Twitter and Square – all announced they would be letting employees work remotely forever. So how will organizations maintain their cultures when employees no long meet face to face? Perhaps they can learn from online communities that have long been experimenting with remote-motivation and cooperation. In this podcast, I interview Cori Chesnutt and Marius Midtskogen, two leaders of The Herd, an online cycling community utilizing the Zwift exercise/game platform.  In just a few years, the Herd community has grown to almost 10,000 individuals from almost every continent, each exercising at home, but cooperating together while pursuing individual goals.   More importantly,  they seem to have created a culture that revolves around 3rd gear values of empathy, kindness and tolerance.  We discuss: - “How did you create the Herd culture?” - “Who is the typical candidate to join the Herd?” - “How do you identify and coach future Herd leaders?” - “What behaviors can negatively impact Herd culture and how do you deal with this?” - What are examples of Gears 1,2 & 3 on Zwift?  - “Moderators can’t monitor everyone, so what helps create an ‘employee-owned’ culture?”   From the Podcast:"I think we have a good group of people who remember where they came from. The leaders used to be the touchpoints in all online discussions, but now the group has seemed to take on that activity." - Cori "I think the people in the Herd know not to take on the stance of elitism. I also know that experienced and strong riders also need some encouragement." - Marius  

In this episode, I’m really excited to have as my guest, Rob Thomas, the Founder and President of Rob Thomas USA, and the creator of the Rob Thomas Method (RTM) of Networking and Networking in Diners. Rob is an entrepreneur, the author of "Who Do You Need to Meet?", and is a dynamic public speaker. He works with business professionals to help them develop their networking skills to help them achieve business and personal success. In our discussion, Rob talked to me about: How to identify the right people to meet Converting connections into meaningful conversations Preparation for those conversations and asking good questions Listen to the podcast to learn more.

"We see the world as we think it is. Not as it really is. Wear glasses that work." Todd Davis has spent 20+ years "looking for the right people." As Chief People Officer at FranklinCovey, a training company, he is an expert at identifying how human behaviors impact our life, our work and our output. His new book, Get Better: 15 Proven Practices to Build Effective Relationships at Work shares that the key to improving our effectiveness is found in improving our behaviors. Todd's insights shine a light on the truth that an organization's greatest assets are undoubtedly its people and remind us that leadership is a decision, not a position.  This conversation is a journey in self-awareness. Join Todd and me for a great conversation and practical ways to fine-tune your behaviors so that you can live and work inspired. SHOW NOTES:  Todd has worked for FranklinCovey, the award-winning training company started by the bestselling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, Stephen R. Covey for over 20 years. We discuss the book he authored with FranklinCovey, Get Better:15 Proven Practices to Build Effective Relationships at Work. Todd shares how his childhood has shaped him-a middle child from Utah, self-described peacemaker and son of a set designer and actress.  Todd never imagined that he'd write a book. It was "a labor of love" that took him two years and was inspired by The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change and The Leader in Me. Don't miss Todd walking us through one chapter of his book: Make It Safe to Tell the Truth. He'll share why these four steps are necessary: 1. Assume good intent. 2. Ask for Feedback. 3. Evaluate the feedback. 4. Act on it. TODD DAVIS'S LIVE INSPIRED 7  1. What is the best book you’ve ever read? Where the Red Fern Grows when I was a kid. Two others: The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell and The Linchpin by Seth Godin.  2. Tomorrow you discover your wealthy uncle shockingly dies at the age of 103; leaving you millions. What would you do with it?  I would take it all down to Puerto Rico right now and help out. 3. Your house is on fire, all living things and people are out. You have the opportunity to run in and grab one item. What would it be? Many years ago I would say pictures. On Christmas, our family spends an hour or two writing letters to each other before opening presents. I'd grab those.  4. You are sitting on a bench overlooking a gorgeous beach. You have the opportunity to have a long conversation with anyone living or dead. Who would it be?  Mother Theresa and Gandhi.  5. What is the best advice you’ve ever received?  6. Looking back, what advice would you give yourself at age 20? To believe in myself. 7. It’s been said that all great people can have their lives summed up in one sentence. How do you want yours to read? He who dies with the most meaningful relationships wins.   ***  If you enjoyed today’s episode: Subscribe (automatically get new episodes), rate & review (help spread the word!) this podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

In the end, it is the relationships that create the culture that becomes an organization’s ultimate competitive advantage.   Through 15 clear and actionable practices, Davis describes the most common relationships pitfalls that negatively affect personal careers and organizational results. He shares the key tools for improving relationships by focusing on our own behavior to get better as individuals. By looking at our own thoughts, attitudes and actions, we improve the quality of our interactions with others and increase our ability to influence those around us in our professional and personal lives, leading to greater success and achievement for all.   Ideal for professionals at all levels of business, from intern to CEO, Get Better draws upon Davis’ thirty-years of experience observing, leading, and coaching others and shares real-world stories and relatable experiences to illustrate the timely lessons and take away for achieving the most effective business relationships. In his engaging, often witty style, Davis’ proven practices influence individuals to take ownership of their work, improve the quality of interactions with others, and master the skills of effective relationships at work and at home.   Some of the crucial lessons readers will learn include: “Wear Glasses That Work” – understand the quality of relationships and how to evaluate them “Carry Your Own Weather” – look inward instead of outward, determining your own attitude based on what you value, no matter what storm happens to break overhead “Behave Your Way to Credibility” – take the long-term approach to earning credibility “See the Tree Not Just the Seedling” – recognize potential in others and help them to succeed “Think We, Not Me” – come together and leverage the strengths of all “Avoid the Pinball Machine” – differentiate between urgency and importance to increase productivity and avoid unnecessary chaos “Humility" – understand the benefits of humility and how to cultivate it to increase energy for others and build solid character and meaningful connections TODD DAVIS BIO:  Todd Davis is the author of FranklinCovey’s book, Get Better: 15 Proven Practices to Build Effective Relationships at Work. He is also a co-author of Talent Unleashed: 3 Leadership Conversations to Ignite the Unlimited Potential in People.   Davis has over 30 years of experience in human resources, talent development, executive recruiting, sales, and marketing.
