Innovation comes in many areas, and compliance professionals need to be ready for it and embrace it.

In this episode, host Tom Fox is joined by Sam Silverstein from the Accountability Institute to discuss his new service offering, the Fractional Chief Culture Officer.

If you've been following me on LinkedIn lately, you know I spent a lot of time thinking about the importance of company culture and how marketing content can both reflect and drive culture. Done well, I believe the same content can both motivate employees and attract customers.In this episode, we'll take the impact of culture even further. Mykella Auld is the founder, Chief Culture Officer, and Executive Director of The Workwell Studio, and her work focuses on the intersection of organizational culture and societal well-being. Mykella's vision is to help organizations see culture as a strategic asset—a mechanism that not only supports employee engagement and productivity but also shapes the societal landscape in meaningful ways.The relevant question, I believe is, “How can organizational culture best work to achieve the desired outcomes, whether in the public sector, the private sector, or in any community?”Culture's Ripple EffectAfter getting a sociology degree, Mykella was working with a school district and the National Institute for Educational Leadership. A challenging legislative session on school reform opened her eyes to the impact of internal challenges. As is likely often the case, the culture within organizations and its impact often reaches as far as the services they provide (perhaps farther). The Genesis of The Workwell StudioBuilding on her experiences, Mykella pursued a master's degree in leadership and later led a research team exploring the intersection of local government policies and community well-being. This work illuminated how public institutions—schools, nonprofits, and government agencies—impact not just their immediate stakeholders but society at large. Her findings reinforced the idea that organizational culture can be a powerful tool for driving positive change both internally and externally.Strategies for Building Healthy CulturesCulture doesn't happen by accident—it must be strategically planned and invested in. Brian Thomson made the same point for life science companies in a previous episode. How does it happen. Mykella pointed out that HR departments, although essential, should not bear sole responsibility for culture. While initiatives around leadership and organizational development often fall to HR, they likely have enough to do and it might even be a conflict. Instead, she suggests organizations consider roles like a Director of Culture Initiatives to ensure dedicated focus on this critical area.Key strategies include:* Co-Creation: Building cultures that prioritize shared leadership and accountability. By involving employees in decision-making processes, organizations foster trust and inclusion.* Well-Being: Focusing on social and emotional development, trust-building, and systems of care. Health outcomes are just one facet of well-being—the broader goal is creating environments where people thrive emotionally and socially. It strikes me that this is the kind of environment where people would be most happy and productive.* Innovation: Encouraging a mindset that embraces trial and error, creativity, and exploration. Not subscribed? Let's fix that, shall we? Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.The Role of Public Sector OrganizationsMykella noted that public sector leaders often lack formal leadership training, perhaps due to budget constraints, which can hinder their ability to prioritize staff and culture. (I wonder if it's significantly different in the private sector. It seems most often that people who are good at their job get promoted to management without additional leadership or management training.)Additionally, public institutions tend to focus outward on their mission to serve society, sometimes neglecting the internal health of their organizations. The behaviors and norms within these institutions often ripple into the communities they serve. It strikes me as a misalignment of values if an organization trying to serve the public isn't modeling the world it hopes to create.Mykella mentioned an art piece from the 1950s illustrating how workplace dynamics influence home life. This insight remains relevant today, emphasizing the societal responsibility public institutions have to model healthy behaviors and norms. Am I naive to think we should need to be reminded to treat others, whether they are colleagues, co-workers, employees or service providers with respect?The Intersection of Public and Private SectorsHere is why the above matters. To no one's surprise, private sector leaders are having a huge impact on society in their public roles. While this trend brings opportunities for innovation, it also raises questions about balancing business-oriented approaches with the unique purposes of public institutions. From my point of view, none of us should outsource our cultural initiatives to people who don't share our values. While there are certainly successful workplaces that reflect lovely communities, I don't think that it makes sense to govern a society in the same way one would run a business. The First StepA centerpiece of The Workwell Studio's work is its cultural audit tool. This comprehensive approach gathers data and human stories to assess an organization's culture across areas like HR policies, well-being, social intelligence, and innovation. The findings provide a roadmap for organizations to align their strategies with their cultural goals.Innovation, in particular, stands out as a critical component. Fostering an innovative mindset and new initiatives requires leaders to support risk-taking, value employee input, and view failures as learning opportunities. Without this openness, efforts to build a thriving culture may falter.My ThoughtsOne might ask if it's the place of organizations, public or private to be the arbiters of culture. Fair enough. In a capitalist society, our workplaces often become our communities. For any organization, but especially large ones, there is the opportunity to shape societal culture - for better or worse I suppose. So if your mission is to make the world a better place, does your internal culture align with that?At the same time I was recording and editing this interview, I was reading a book by Matthew…. entitled Shop Class as Soulcraft. The thesis of the book is largely about the value of manual work. The author is a motorcycle mechanic with a PhD in Physics.The book explains how our educational system and workplaces are set up in some ways to devalue certain types of work.In the course of reading it, I contemplated whether I am closer to being a craftsperson or a cog in the machine. All of that got me thinking about how we justify making organizations centers of culture to some degree. That may overstate their impact.It strikes me that there are many legitimate ways of working, all of which have value, even though the satisfaction that comes from it may vary both in kind and degree. The motorcycle mechanic learns from experience and a hands-on approach. He or she is intimately connected to their work and the end product. For many organizations or businesses, however, this doesn't make sense. It takes a lot of people to design, build, procure, and ship a mass spectrometer, for example. In that situation, leadership and teamwork are critical for success, which is why I believe that thinking about culture strategically is important.Your deepest insights are your best branding.

No employee is the same. The evolving needs of employees demand a shift toward holistic support that spans all of life's challenges, from caregiving, to illness, to childcare. This is key to building a healthier, more resilient workforce.In this episode, we sit down with Derek Lundsten, President and Chief Culture Officer at LifeGuides, for a conversation about the different ways organizations can support their workforce, and what's missing in their efforts. We cover the importance of work-life balance, and how important it is for employees to get genuine downtime. Derek also shares how LifeGuides helps people who are going through challenges in their lives, and explains how more and more organizations are proactively addressing the needs of their teams.Finally, we discuss how to strike the balance between what is good for the business and what is good for the employee, and personal versus employer responsibility when it comes to ensuring wellbeing.Key moments: How LifeGuides matches people who are going through life challenges with someone who has faced a similar problem What methods employers can use to support their employees outside the workforce as well as inside Why jobs need to be matched with job descriptions Why employees need to be able to say ‘yes' and ‘no' The importance of having a learning budget The issues with employers providing benefits that their consultants are selling rather than asking their employees what they want Strategies to improve peer-to-peer support, from better listening to enshrining values and missionKey links:Subscribe to HR Unplugged Series: https://www.bamboohr.com/resources/podcasts/hr-unplugged/Join HR Heroes Slack Community: https://join.slack.com/t/hrheroesworkspace/shared_invite/zt-21ad3f1r8-dkWC2EdmyhxUAHw9cGLdQwBamboo HR Homepage: https://www.bamboohr.com/Connect with Derek on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dereklundsten/

I grew up in the late 80s and 90s. Back then, things were a lot simpler. There weren't any smartphones, and the internet was nonexistent. It didn't feel as fast-paced and loud as it is today. Thinking back to childhood, I remember playing outside a lot and having sleepovers at my girlfriends' houses on the weekends after we picked out a movie at the local Blockbuster store. Life was pretty sweet. I hope that's how everyone feels about their childhood. But maybe I was young, naive, and oblivious to the worries that adults face. Or maybe I was just really lucky that nothing scary had happened to me at that point in my life. Today, I feel like we have so much more information available at our fingertips. We can know what's going on in every part of the world instantly on our phones. While this technology is amazing, it can also be overwhelming. There is no denying that we all know so much more about the world and what can and does happen to people (good and bad) daily. It has shed light on many things we may have never known. For instance, how we've lately seen headlines about terrible things happening to children during sleepovers. It's upsetting and disturbing and causing parents to debate their kids having sleepovers entirely. Today's guest, Kristin Andrus, is extremely passionate about this topic. Her family has one big rule: They don't allow their children to have sleepovers. Some people disagree wholeheartedly with this rule, while others agree with her stance because they, too, know of scary stories that can happen and have happened during sleepovers. We had Kristin share her thoughts and experiences advocating for children on the show. Who is Kristin Andrus? Kristin Andrus is a philanthropist and community champion who advocates for women, children, and refugees within and beyond Utah. Kristin is the driving force behind the impactful Building Bridges non-profit/philanthropy partnership. She also serves as a board member for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Intermountain Area and for UnDEfeated, an organization serving underprivileged youth and single mothers in Uganda. In addition, she holds advisory roles with the First Lady of Utah, Neighborhood House, the Younique Foundation, Utah Valley University, and Women Who Succeed. She is a community activator who believes in building bridges and bringing people together to help communities thrive! Nonprofits count on Kristin for her social media and marketing savvy and supernatural ability to get stuff done. She is also the Chief Culture Officer of her husband and six children and an incredible cook! What Did We Discuss? In this episode, we chat with Kristin Andrus about the great sleepover debate — should you or should you not allow your kids to do sleepovers — and how to make the best decision for your family when it comes to sleepovers. This is a very big and passionate conversation. While some of my favorite childhood memories were sleepovers at my girlfriends' houses, hearing Kristin's stories and the stats made me rethink how I might approach this topic with my kids when they reach the age of being invited to sleepovers. This episode really gives us parents information that we need to know and new things to consider. I wonder, where do you stand on this great sleepover debate? Share your thoughts in the comments!

This week on the podcast, Dane sits down with Sejal Thakkar, Chief Civility Officer, Chief Culture Officer, and keynote speaker. Today, Dane and Sejal explore how creating a culture of civility in the workplace is a crucial part of working well as a team, what microaggressions are and how they show up in the workplace, and her framework for correcting these behaviors through “calling someone in.” She shares how her framework encourages employees to share the responsibility and resolve issues collaboratively at the ground level, instead of bringing it up the chain to their supervisor or HR. Finally, she talks through how psychological safety at work can create a stronger, more effective team. This is a great conversation to combat the growing trend of incivility in the workplace.Key Takeaways:00:00 Introduction to the Future of Teamwork Podcast02:09 Sejal's Journey from Defense Attorney to Civility Advocate03:51 Understanding and Addressing Incivility10:27 The Role of Microaggressions in Workplace Incivility19:30 The Civility Action Plan (CAP) Framework24:49 Frustrations with Anti-Harassment Training25:30 Drawing Parallels with the Safety Industry26:32 Introducing the Civility Action Plan27:20 Importance of Alignment in Civility29:12 Promotion and Continuous Learning31:11 Implementing Psychological Safety32:28 Encouraging Collaborative Conflict Resolution42:23 The Role of AI in Promoting Civility44:15 Concluding Thoughts and Call to Action Psychological safety at work doesn't mean that everybody is nice to each other all the time. It means that people feel free to brainstorm out loud, to voice half-finished thoughts, to share feedback, challenge the status quo, openly challenge and work through disagreements together, knowing that the organization and the leaders value honesty, candor, truth-telling, and that the team members have each other's backs.

Introduction: Kat introduces Pam August, founder and president of Connecting Potentials, as a visionary leader in the realm of organizational development and consulting. Pillars of Pam's Work: Pam's approach revolves around three fundamental pillars: organizational development, team effectiveness, and relationship systems. She emphasizes strategy and culture alignment within organizations, highlighting the importance of coaching and embodied development practices like yoga and mindfulness. Insights into Human Systems: Human systems are complex and adaptive, unlike technical systems, making them unpredictable and emergent. Pam discusses the challenges of change management, citing examples of how humans resist change due to the metabolic cost of active thought and action. Compliance vs. Commitment: Pam distinguishes between compliance, complacency, and commitment, illustrating how different approaches yield different results. She shares anecdotes about compliance, complacency, and commitment in various contexts, emphasizing the importance of engaging individuals to build commitment. Navigating Organizational Culture: Pam delves into the unconscious, implicit, and invisible aspects of organizational culture, stressing the need to make unconscious biases and assumptions conscious. She advocates for intentional team dynamics, where roles and contributions are made explicit and visible to foster collaboration and alignment.   Unveiling Potential: Pam introduces her forthcoming book, emphasizing the inherent capacity for exponential impact within individuals, teams, and cultures. She highlights the interconnectedness of personal and collective potential, setting the stage for a deeper exploration.   The Three Pillars of Action: Pam unveils three foundational actions—intend, notice, and move—as catalysts for navigating dynamic environments. Through intentionality and acute awareness, individuals and teams can drive meaningful progress towards desired outcomes.   Intention vs. Outcome: Drawing a clear distinction between intention and outcome, Pam underscores the importance of aligning personal intentions with collective objectives. By setting intentions grounded in purpose and embodying desired states of being, individuals can foster authentic connection and collaboration.   Meta Skills and Collective Intentions: Pam introduces the concept of meta skills as amplified intentions, transcending individual agendas to shape collective experiences. By fostering shared intentions and meta skills, teams can cultivate a cohesive culture of engagement and alignment.   The Power of Noticing: Through a compelling anecdote, Pam illustrates the transformative impact of acute awareness in team dynamics. By actively noticing underlying patterns and implicit barriers, individuals can initiate meaningful dialogue and catalyze positive change.   Purpose-driven Vision: Addressing challenges in articulating mission and vision, Pam emphasizes the importance of grounding organizational goals in purpose. Rather than fixating on semantics, individuals and startups can align their actions with core values, fostering organic growth and evolution.         Unpacking Potential: A Deep Dive Pam elaborates on the narrative journey within her upcoming book, "Potential: How to Connect What's Already There for Exponential Impact." Through storytelling, she guides readers in shifting their mindset from focusing on problems to recognizing and harnessing potential. Pam emphasizes understanding the human operating systems and capacity to act, feel, and think, supported by insights from neuroscience. Dimensions of Connection: She outlines experiences of disconnection characterized by strain, swirl, or being stuck, contrasting with the state of connection marked by energy, ease, and effectiveness. Pam introduces the practice of "intend, notice, and move" as a transformative tool, backed by behavioral and neuroscience principles, and shares practical applications through storytelling in all three dimensions. Building Tools for Exploration: Pam discusses the inclusion of various tools in the book to empower readers in their exploration journey further. These tools aim to facilitate deeper understanding and application of the concepts discussed. Where to Find More: Listeners are directed to Pam's website, connectingpotential.ca, where they can access additional resources and information about the book. "Potential" by Pam August is available on Amazon, and Pam welcomes inquiries and engagement on LinkedIn. Conclusion: Kat and Pam reflect on the challenges of integrating these practices into organizational culture, underscoring the long-term benefits of investing in alignment and commitment upfront to avoid rework and misalignment later on. As the conversation unfolds, Pam and Kat illuminate the transformative potential of intentionality and action, inviting listeners to embrace a journey of self-discovery and collective empowerment. By navigating the interplay between intention and manifestation, individuals can unlock their inherent capacity for exponential impact and cultivate thriving cultures of collaboration and innovation.

Do you know what it means to create a culture by design in your multi-generational organization?In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Jeremy discuss: Growing up in a faith-rooted, family-filled environment. Learning from previous generations in a multi-generational family company. Leading a company - family-owned, board-governed, professionally managed. Creating culture by design, not just by default.   Key Takeaways: In a family organization, it can be beneficial for younger generations to work for outside companies, learn and grow, and bring back positive influences and lessons from those companies.  Even when things get hard in your business, do right by your relationships, care for others, and deal honestly in all situations. If you hire right and build the right team, you will not always be needed to run the company. Look at how you might be able to make a greater impact than just running the day-to-day operations. When it comes to giving, be open and just try something. It is possible to keep people engaged, but you never know what people are going to resonate with.   "You can have a process for things and you should when we have so many family members involved, but you also want to have the freedom to be able to answer the call when you feel the Lord is calling.

The discussion spirals from the essence of building meaningful platforms to the utopian vision of elevating human understanding and curiosity through technology.

Referencing iconic brands like Harvard and Disney, they aspire to blend education and entertainment seamlessly, making the journey of learning an enthralling experience. The narrative segues into the stark contrast of the internet's potential for good against its prevailing use, highlighting the necessity for a paradigm shift. The Grand Idea: Revisiting Alexandria The conversation evolves to the ambitious idea of recreating the ancient Library of Alexandria, a symbol of collective human knowledge. They envision a digital realm where every individual can interact with ancient texts, a sanctuary of learning, blended with the allure of technology. The essence is to make historical texts and wisdom accessible and enjoyable, akin to engaging in a lively chat with Aristotle or pondering philosophical conundrums with Plato. The Intersection of AI and Classics Delving into the role of AI, they discuss its potential to rekindle a dialogue with the wisdom of the ages, creating a bridge between the past and the present. They touch on the potential of AI to create personalized, interactive learning experiences, making the study of classics a lively, enjoyable journey. Lightning as a Metaphor for Inspiration The metaphor of lightning encapsulates the sporadic yet profound moments of inspiration that propel human creativity and understanding forward. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, they explore the various ways individuals can harness this 'dragon energy' to transform their daily lives and the world around them. The Road Ahead: Invisible and Lightning The discussion transitions to their ventures, Invisible Technologies and Lightning, which embody the ethos of enhancing human potential through technology. They delve into the envisaged ecosystem where continuous learning, meaningful work, and community interaction are intertwined, offering a glimpse into a future where technology amplifies human capability and curiosity. The Challenge and Promise of Tradition Amidst the futuristic discourse, they reflect on the importance of tradition, its evolution, and its role in guiding the journey of discovery and understanding. They ponder the essence of community and the shared quest for knowledge, underlining the timeless value of human interaction in the digital age. Conclusion The episode encapsulates a journey through time, ideas, and the endless possibilities that lie in the confluence of past wisdom, present technology, and future visions. It's a narrative that ignites curiosity and beckons to the insatiable seeker of knowledge and inspiration within us all.
