Podcasts about cultural fit

Welcome back to the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast.Today's episode is with someone who is running the long race — in investing and in running.We sit down with prolific long distance runner, Blue Owl Capital's Ivan Zinn, who has been a pioneer in alternative credit and asset-based finance.Ivan has had a long career in private credit. He started at DLJ before joining Leonard Green & Partners and Highbridge Capital. He then joined HBK before founding pioneering private credit firm Atalaya Capital Management, where he was also the CIO. Ivan and team grew Atalaya to over $10B in AUM from 2006 to 2024 before being acquired by Blue Owl Capital for $450M (and $800M with earnouts).As part of the transaction, Ivan became Managing Director at Blue Owl and is the Head of Alternative Credit, where the firm is now expanding its footprint due to Atalaya's expertise. Ivan is as prolific outside of the office as he is in it — he is a long distance runner, running 100 mile races, and was a NCAA All-American tennis player, which comes as no surprise given the discipline, focus and expertise required to excel at the activities he's done throughout his career in work and sport. He's also a Board member of the USTA Foundation.Ivan and I had a fascinating conversation about the evolution of private credit and the growth of asset-based finance. We discussed:How and why ABF has grown within the private credit ecosystem.ABF's market structure and a “trip down main street.”The potential size of the ABF market.Why moving assets off bank balance sheets can help the financial system.Why private credit is a data rich asset.Where ABF fits in a portfolio.Why consumer credit is potentially misunderstood within private credit.Thanks Ivan for coming on the show to share your wisdom and expertise on private credit and ABF. Good luck to anyone keeping up with you on a long run though!You can also see a recent Q&A with Ivan about private credit and ABF on AGM here.Subscribe to Alt Goes Mainstream to receive the weekly newsletter every Sunday and all of AGM's podcasts.A word from AGM podcast sponsor, Ultimus Fund SolutionsThis episode of Alt Goes Mainstream is brought to you by Ultimus Fund Solutions, a leading full-service fund administrator for asset managers in private and public markets.

Welcome back to The Lindsey Anderson Show! Today, I'm diving into a topic that's absolutely critical for every business owner: how to build accountability systems for your team. It's really common to think that leadership alone will drive your business to success—that inspiring and motivating your team is all it takes. But the truth is, if you don't have systems in place to support that growth, your business will always feel like it's running on fumes. That's why today's guest, Dr. James Chitwood, is joining us to share his expertise on creating those systems and driving true performance. Guest IntroductionI'm thrilled to have Dr. James Chitwood on the show today. Dr. Chitwood is an army infantry veteran, former university president, and now a sought-after author and consultant with over 20 years of experience in leadership and organizational development. He specializes in helping organizations treat employees as assets and drive performance through structured systems. His book, Leadership is Not Enough, breaks down why leadership alone won't fix organizational performance issues. Dr. Chitwood's approach is all about building lasting success through accountable, high-performance teams.The TRACK Method: Build a Team That Runs Itself - Key TakeawaysLeadership Alone Isn't Enough: Leadership is important, but without systems to support it, your business won't thrive. Establishing accountability systems is essential for sustainable growth.The Power of Frontline Managers: Frontline managers play a crucial role in holding teams accountable. Investing in their training can create a ripple effect that drives long-term performance throughout the organization.Cultural Fit is Key: You need to define your business culture and ensure your frontline managers are implementing it. It's about having a system that works for your unique organization.The Role of Accountability in Performance: Accountability should be viewed as an opportunity for growth, not punishment. When done right, it fosters social bonds, motivates employees, and improves performance across the board.AI and Systems in Business: AI can be a powerful tool for enhancing human performance, but it can't replace the intrinsic drive of people. Systems, paired with human ingenuity, lead to real, sustained success.Dr. Chitwood's Accountability System (The TRACK Model)T - Training: Develop a training system where employees are not just trained by external trainers, but by their peers and supervisors. This fosters recognition and reinforces team collaboration.R - Recognition: Recognize excellence in your employees. Giving employees the opportunity to train others is a powerful form of recognition that builds social bonds and promotes intrinsic motivation.A - Accountability: Every employee should have at least one key performance indicator (KPI). Accountability shouldn't be a stick—it's a way to identify areas for growth and give employees the tools they need to succeed.C - Communication: Ensure internal communication is robust and transparent. Managers must be trained on how to have meaningful conversations that drive accountability without creating fear or disengagement.K - Knowledge Sharing: Foster a culture of collaboration where knowledge is freely shared. This strengthens the overall performance of the organization and keeps the team aligned with the goals.The Challenges Entrepreneurs FaceOverwhelmed by the Systems: Many business owners struggle with building accountability systems because they feel overwhelmed by the complexity. The key is to understand that once the right systems are in place, you...

Talent acquisition remains stuck in the past while organizations have drastically evolved. "We still hire like it's 1999," explains Leandro Cartelli, CEO of Lana Talent, highlighting a critical disconnect between modern business needs and outdated hiring practices.In this episode,  Dave and Peter explore with Leandro how successful teams are built through strategic cultural assessment rather than simple skill matching. The conversation reveals the difference between "cultural fit" and "cultural add," and how one retail company reduced their 80% turnover rate by half, saving millions through targeted assessment questions.Leandro breaks down why remote team success hinges on comprehensive onboarding (which drives 80% better retention) and intentional connection building beyond work tasks. Without deliberate efforts like virtual team activities and structured check-ins, remote work becomes "just a slogan" rather than a successful strategy.Key Takeaways:Culture encompasses both fit and add - assess how candidates navigate existing dynamics while bringing fresh perspectivesRemote work requires intentional investment - comprehensive onboarding and dedicated connection-building are non-negotiableTreat talent acquisition strategically - connect hiring with development plans and performance expectations for real business impact

In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson chats with Kyle Harbaugh about leveraging growth within law firms. They discuss identifying leverage points, emphasizing the importance of delegation to free up resources for strategic initiatives.Leveraging growth for a law firm can be done using different methods.

It is important that you have trust with those in your firm to accomplish tasks.Kyle provides some strategies on how to integrate core value in the hiring process. It is crucial to hire staff who align with the core values you have for the firm.

Wir zeigen, warum Datenqualität die Basis für alles ist, wie agile Teams und dezentrale Innovationskraft für Geschwindigkeit sorgen – und warum der Kunde immer einen Platz am Tisch haben sollte.

Lass dich inspirieren und nimm konkrete Handlungsimpulse für deine Organisation mit!

In dieser Folge spricht Dr. Sebastian Voigt mit Dr. Larissa Leitner, Co-Gründerin und Co-CEO von Empion, über KI-basiertes Recruiting, Cultural Fit und neue Preismodelle im HR-Tech-Markt. Empion kombiniert Unternehmenskulturanalyse mit datengetriebenem Matching und ersetzt klassische Headhunter-Logik durch ein SaaS-Modell mit jährlichen Credits.​ „Wir haben ein Recurring-Modell im Recruiting-Markt etabliert. Am Anfang hat es sehr viel Überzeugungskraft gekostet, dieses Modell zu erklären – weil Kunden gewohnt waren, für Recruiting klassische Modelle zu nutzen. Monatlich einen Preis zu zahlen, das mussten wir erst erklären“, so Larissa im Gespräch.​ Warum sich die Gen Z deutlich teurer rekrutieren lässt, was hinter dem Kulturtyp „Leuchtturm“ steckt – und weshalb Post-and-Pray als Recruiting-Strategie längst ausgedient hat, erfahrt ihr in dieser Episode.​ Über den Gast: Dr. Larissa Leitner ist Co-Gründerin und Co-CEO von Empion. Nach ihrer Promotion an der WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management zur Quantifizierung von Unternehmenskultur gründete sie gemeinsam mit Dr. Annika von Mutius im Dezember 2021 das HR-Tech-Startup Empion in Berlin. Zuvor sammelte sie Erfahrung in Marketing- und HR-Tech-Unternehmen wie Loopline Systems, Smart Host und Louis Vuitton. Larissa wurde unter anderem vom Handelsblatt als „Mensch des Jahres“ ausgezeichnet und ist Mitglied der Bundesfachkommission für Arbeit des Wirtschaftsrats.

In this episode of Shoot the Moon, Revenue Rocket's Mike Harvath, Matt Lockhart, and Ryan Barnett explore one of the most overlooked tension points in M&A: the financial document request.You've nailed the strategic and cultural fit — but when it comes time to share financials, things stall. Why? It often boils down to trust, financial hygiene, and timing.

„Warum begrüßt mich eine Website nicht wie ein Mensch? Warum fragt sie nicht, was ich wissen will – ob ich einen Cultural Fit suche, Cases sehen will oder wissen will, ob jemand CGI kann? Technisch geht das längst.“In dieser Folge von #WhatsNextAgencies spricht Kim Alexandra Notz mit Stefan Mohr, COO der Digitalagentur Argonauten, über die Potenziale und Missverständnisse rund um KI im Agenturalltag. Für Stefan ist klar: Echte Transformation beginnt nicht mit Tools, sondern mit Haltung.Er gibt Einblicke in die Praxis der Argonauten: von automatisierter Projektsteuerung über virtuelle Meeting-Avatare bis hin zu ethischen Anforderungen an KI-Systeme. Es geht um interne Lösungen wie „Open“, die Wissen im Team halten sollen - damit Expertise nicht verschwindet, wenn Menschen gehen. Und es geht um die Frage, wie sich Aus- und Weiterbildung verändern müssen, wenn KI selbstverständlicher Teil der Arbeit wird.Stefan erklärt, welche Rolle Agenturen in einer Welt spielen, die zunehmend von Tech-Giganten dominiert wird. Er ist der Meinung: Agenturen haben sehr wohl ihren Platz - wenn sie ihr Wissen über Marken, Nutzer*innen und Services klug mit Technologie verknüpfen. Sie müssen nicht selbst bauen, aber sie sollten orchestrieren. Nicht steuern, sondern gestalten. Und vor allem: Kontext geben, wo Technologie allein zu wenig kann. Ein weiteres Thema - neue Vergütungsmodelle jenseits von Zeit gegen Geld - und die Frage, was in Zeiten automatisierter Prozesse eigentlich noch menschliche Arbeit ist. Eine Serie über Systeme, die effizienter werden - und Organisationen, die dabei ihre Seele nicht verlieren dürfen.

Do you think you might end up interviewing for a new job or a new position this year?  Well, if so, let me tell you, after interviewing thousands of job candidates, there is ONE question that everyone THINKS they are answering correctly – and often times, they ARE NOT and the question I'm talking about is the “What is your Greatest Weakness” question.  In today's episode I'm going to give you the insider-secret of what to say and what NOT to say, so come back and join me for Episode #71 where we'll talk about it all right here on The Career Woman's Secret Playbook Podcast!So, why do interviewers ask about weaknesses?  For these reasons: 1.  Self-Awareness, 2.  Growth Mindset, 3.  Cultural Fit,  and 4.  Honesty and Authenticity.  And what are we looking for when we ask this question?  There are 3 main reasons: 1.  Balanced Self-Reflection, 2.  Relevance to the Role, and 3.  Problem-Solving Skills.Now, here are my favorite 5 tips on how to answer this question: 1. Be Honest, But Selective, 2.  Show Awareness and Self-Reflection, 3.  Frame It Positively, 4.  Keep It Professional, 5.  End on a Positive Note.Here's a Sample Answer from a Job Candidate - And Yes, I offered her the Job!"I'd say my greatest weakness is that I can be overly detail-oriented. Early in my career, I would spend a lot of time trying to make everything perfect, which occasionally slowed me down. However, I've learned to balance my focus on quality with efficiency by prioritizing tasks and using tools like project management software to stay on track. This adjustment has allowed me to maintain high standards without getting bogged down in unnecessary details."Stay Connected: Follow us on our Socials!

What do a classical pianist, a filmmaker, and a CEO have in common? In this week's episode of Hiring Matters, Ken Schmitt dives into the fascinating mind of Jieho Lee—CEO, Chief People Officer, and movie director. From ivory keys to boardrooms, Jieho takes us on a wild ride, showing us how the skills he developed on the movie set translate directly to leading a diverse and dynamic workforce. Cue the drama! Ken and Jieho hash out the great debate: Should company culture be more "work hard, play hard" à la Netflix, or should we strive for something a little more, dare we say, fun? Jieho argues that a workplace should spark joy, not dread, while Ken questions if the tough-love, performance-driven environment is a necessary evil. Expect a few verbal eye rolls and some serious food for thought. Together, they dig into managing a multi-generational workforce. Spoiler alert: Boomers, Gen Z, and everyone in between don't all want the same things from their jobs (shocking, we know). So, how do you balance these diverse expectations without losing your sanity? Jieho and Ken tackle it head-on, offering insights, laughs, and even a few leadership facepalms along the way. Whether you're managing egos on a movie set or in a boardroom, creating a safe, collaborative space is essential. And Jieho's secret sauce? Humility, reflection, and realizing that even CEOs (and directors) are only as good as the teams they lead. Tune in for a conversation packed with humor, hard truths, and a fresh perspective on how to lead, hire, and retain top talent—whether you're running a company or filming the next blockbuster. Key Takeaways: Artsy types make great CEOs (who knew?). Classical music taught Jieho the importance of harmony—literally and figuratively. Is fun the new productivity? Multi-generational management: It's like herding cats but with more Slack messages. Cultural fit or diversity of thought? Hint: You need both. A good leader knows how to adapt and evolve. The best leader? Knows how to laugh through it. Have questions or personal experiences?

Today is my 55th birthday! I was planning to take the day off, but I started thinking about a few people my age who work in tech and have been recently laid off. Unlike workers in their 20s and 30s, they're facing a very different set of pressures: family, college payments, aging parents, retirement, etc. Most of the ones I know are having a hard time landing interviews, let alone full-time jobs. This is the shortest episode I've ever released, so technically, I guess that makes this a hot take. I generally avoid those, but it's my birthday and I'm feeling self-indulgent.
