After the honeymoon breaks down and the insane roller coaster of building a company ramps up, you're left with the hard task of crafting a transformational culture. If you fail at this task, you'll have a fractured leadership team and a toxic workplace. Since we started our company, we've had plenty of breakdowns, and we've learned how to turn those breakdowns into breakthroughs for our team. What's the key to creating an extraordinary workplace culture? In this episode of HR Superstars, hosts David Hassell and Shane Metcalf explore how relational mastery drives cultural transformation. What they talked about: The value of empathy before agreement. Hatching the antidote to toxic workplaces. How to maximize the impact of intentional energetic presence. For the entire interview, subscribe to HR Superstars on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Stitcher. Or tune in on our website.

Just as we want to create a transformational outcome for our customers with our products and services, we want to create a transformational employee experience. In fact, the two are inextricably linked. As we've crafted our culture, one of the foundational aspects that we know is critical to creating transformation and improving people's lives is our relationships. How do we build a transformational culture where people feel valued? In this episode of HR Superstars, hosts David Hassell and Shane Metcalf dive into the topic of relational mastery. What they talked about: How creating space for hard conversations leads to healthier culture. How to communicate clearly and compassionately. Practices that are key to conflict resolution.

When we help our colleagues live up to their potential and optimize their strengths, we can achieve the magic combination of high performance and satisfaction.   Today’s guest is David Hassell.

While at 15Five, David created the science-inspired Best-Self Management methodology that helps leaders and managers address the hidden factors that stimulate sustainable growth and development – things like intrinsic motivation, growth mindset, strengths, positivity, and psychological safety in the workplace.   David and I talk about the ideas behind the best self methodology.

A manager who believes deeply in an employee’s abilities despite their struggles can transform someone blocked by self-doubts. Focus on developing your staff’s strengths rather than improving weaknesses. Find where their natural talents and passions overlap - called the Zone of Genius - to create fulfilled, productive teams.  Be wary of falling into the trap of the Zone of Excellence, in which the person is good/skilled at the activities but it’s not their passion.  Embrace your own imperfections as someone on the same growth journey. Admit your own vulnerability and show your team that you are also journeying together with them to become your best selves.  Growth mindset only works when combined with an environment of psychological safety. Focusing only on growth can leave employees feeling burdened by “never being good enough.” They need to know that they can share their struggles and you’ll be there to listen.   Resources: https://conscious.is/resources   KEEP UP WITH DAVID Website: 15Five.com Twitter: @dhassell Podcast: Best-Self Management podcast - 15Five.com/podcast Best-Self Management program: https://academy.15five.com/bundles/from-manager-to-leader   mamie@mamieks.com

In March of 2020 when COVID-19 hit, many organizations updated their remote work policies at least temporarily to allow people to work from home. Twitter made headlines in May by announcing that a remote work option would be available to their 5,000+ full-time workforce, forever! 15Five CEO, David Hassell interviews Twitter’s head of HR to discuss what Twitter has learned from making this shift after several months.  Jennifer Christie is the VP of People and Chief Human Resources Officer at Twitter. She leads the global people team and works with the executive management team and board of directors to support the strategic direction of the company. Jennifer oversees talent acquisition and management, diversity and inclusion, people systems and analytics, organizational and performance management, and training and development. Even before COVID, Twitter allowed employees to work remotely as part of their larger strategies around decentralization and Diversity & Inclusion. Now as a fully remote organization, in order to maintain the camaraderie that existed in the office, Jennifer and her team find ways to maintain deep connections between “Tweeps” in the remote space. Additionally, they have shifted their benefits plan to support people’s health and well-being in a new reality where gyms are closed and people need certain staple equipment to be successful at home.  Hopefully, in the next year or so, the health risk will abate and people will begin returning to the office once it is safe to do so. Twitter, like many other businesses, are planning a “return to office” strategy. At Twitter, offices will be available for the people who want to return to a shared physical working space. For now, Jennifer shares how to maintain social and emotional connections without a physical office and why it’s imperative that companies start planning for this readjustment now.  How has Covid created new roles for HR within your organization?

We have to shift how we work if we’re going to be inclusive of that work style.” [0:57] “We want to try to engineer a different experience so people don’t feel compelled to come back to the office if they don’t want to because they feel like they’re missing out on something.” [13:33] “I don’t think you can nail inclusion if you don’t have a diverse workforce.

We continue our conversation with David Hassell, the CEO and Founder of 15Five. While 15Five is a software platform built to administer the 5-15 Framework, the secret to their success lies in building conditions of trust. We dive deep into the ways a simple framework (don’t worry, no software is required) is really a secret weapon to build trust and build physiological safety. This is especially important in today’s ever-changing environment.

In a time when employee engagement is down, many leaders are re-envisioning the roles inclusivity, purpose, and personal growth play in the workplace. What does best-self management really mean and how might it benefit your organization? What does the future of organizational development and company culture look like in a remote environment? With the help of David Hassell and Shane Metcalf, co-founders of the industry-leading performance management software company, 15Five, we tackle the tough questions surrounding employee growth, fulfillment, and morale, as well as the responsibility all leaders have right now to address how their own growth journey and mindsets affect their teams.

Today we dive into a framework called “the most important 15 mins of any employees’ workweek” - the 5-15. Our guest, David Hassell, is the founder of 15Five. His company expanded the 5-15 concept to inspire greater performance within individuals, teams and organizations. In this episode, David explains the idea behind 5-15s, why they are so powerful and how you can start using the concepts today.15Five is offering its service for free until June 15, conditions apply.

David Hassell is a business columnist, speaker, and serial entrepreneur who believes that when leaders institute cultural practices that support each person in being their best self, high performance and uncommon loyalty naturally result. As co-founder and CEO of 15Five, David and his team have developed industry-leading continuous performance management software that helps leaders and managers drive high performance by bringing out the best in their people. With a degree in computer engineering, David began his career in “beige cubicle land”, working 10 to 11 hour days from a windowless computer lab in Roseland, NJ, doing work that he described as “soul-crushing.” David realized that it wasn’t the work itself, nor the environment that were to blame, but it was the organization’s poor culture and the lack of context that was given to him about his work. How did his work impact the company, the world, anyone? This launched David into a near decade long inquiry and exploration where he studied a vast range of subjects, from productivity to psychology (and everything in between) and attended seminars on topics ranging from personal development to business. “While I may not have been consciously aware of it at the time, what I was really seeking was a sense of meaning & purpose, I was seeking to become my Best-Self.” - David A conversation with David is an opportunity to share his expertise in management, workplace productivity, employee performance, and effective leadership skills with your audience. David formerly served as President of the San Francisco chapter of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization. He has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Inc., Entrepreneur, Wired, Fast Company, the Financial Post, and was named by Forbes Magazine “The Most Connected Man You Don’t Know in Silicon Valley”.

Motivation bleeds into everything we do, and it helps us choose where to focus in our busy lives. We have motivations for why we’re in relationships, listen to certain podcasts, and even how we work. Where we derive our motivation is connected to how we expend our energy long-term. Intrinsic motivation is the sustainable way to drive employee performance. It’s all about incentive and deriving pleasure from the activity itself (e.g., a genuine interest in a project or strategic initiative) rather than because of any external benefits that might be obtained. In other words, doing an act that is intrinsically motivated means you are doing it to achieve a deeper, more personal reward than money or any other external validation can offer.  External motivators can only go so far to drive someone’s performance in life and in business. Personal fulfillment doesn’t come from a paycheck or the end-goal five years down the road; true motivation comes from waking up day-to-day excited to use our unique strengths and capabilities. In this episode of the Best-Self Management Podcast, co-founders David Hassell and Shane Metcalf examine what lies behind intrinsic motivation in the workplace and why it’s a far more powerful way to encourage performance. We also discuss: Why external motivators fall short of intrinsic ones The formula for keeping your team intrinsically motivated What happens when we don’t take time to build relationships  Crafting a purpose that goes beyond profitability Honing potential and mastery to tune into your zone of genius So, how do you connect your company’s vision to the work that your people do? Share with us in the comments!   Quotes “Most people don’t reach their full potential because they don’t know what their full potential is.” [5:34] “Paired up against each other, a team that’s intrinsically motivated is going to out-perform a team that is externally motivated every day of the week.” [6:19] “Everybody's unique genius and perspective are different. The things that I’m incompetent at or don’t give me energy can actually be someone else’s zone of genius and things they do exceptionally well.” [21:00] “If you’re not tuned into whether your employees are having an experience where they can continue to grow, you’re at risk of losing people.” [29:12]   Links Primed to Perform by Neel Doshi and Lindsay McGregor Drive by Dan Pink Simon Sinek TED Talk   Listen to Best-Self Management Here Find 15Five online Follow 15Five on Facebook | Twitter | Linkedin

It’s a shift in thinking from one where we believe that to be successful in business we have to get as much as we can from our people to a shift towards a belief that says we’re going to be successful if we support our people in thriving.”[1:35] “Now we’re in an environment where what matters is innovation and creativity and people being passionately engaged in service to the company. It’s not the output of an employee. It doesn’t come from how fast they can type on a keyboard or how many hours their butt is in the seat. It’s what they can create, the knowledge work, the innovation.” [4:35] “How much better, more productive, happier and fulfilled would you be if you were able to go to work and actually have more positive emotional interactions than negative ones on a day-to-day basis?” [12:22] “Why we work influences how we work.

If you're a business leader, employee happiness should never be your goal. Sound strange? That's according to today’s Brand Builder guest, David Hassell. David is a serial entrepreneur and the CEO and founder of 15five, software that makes continuous employee feedback simple, and helps drive high-performing cultures. We talked to David about a wide range of subjects, but what we found most interesting was his belief that the goal of his product is not to make employees happy, but to help them become their best selves, and ultimately to create an environment where they can perform at their highest level. 15five's product and philosophy has been a huge hit with enterprises of all sizes, and they recently closed a $30.7M series B round.  We think you'll find David's point of view highly valuable - especially since we know a lot of you are working with remote employees and need an efficient feedback loop, or just want to empower your team to direct their own personal and professional growth.  Takeaways David tells us how he discovered the concept of 15five, and why he decided to create a company around the practice. David stresses the importance of having a purpose in one’s work, and tells us why he struggled with starting the right company before landing on the idea for 15five. David explains why he thinks the term “Human Resources” should be phased out immediately. David breaks down the difference between eustress and distress, and explains why discomfort actually breeds innovation. David clarifies that the goal of your organization shouldn’t be happiness, but high performance, and explains why. David tells us the most important trait he looks for when interviewing potential employees, and gives us his strategies to help find people willing to experience personal breakthroughs. David explains why he thinks money is a threshold, and tells us what motivates people once that threshold is achieved.

JazzHR users can now view results from Wonderlic’s scientifically backed “Wonscore®” tests right from JazzHR – empowering them to compare candidates, predict engagement and accelerate time-to-hire. Wonscore assessments are designed by industrial-organizational psychologists to evaluate candidates for cognitive ability, motivation and personality. Seeing how candidates scored in each of these areas without leaving JazzHR saves time and gives hiring teams a competitive edge in making the right hire, faster. “We’re so excited to combine JazzHR’s easy-to-use recruiting solution with the power of Wonderlic’s pre-employment testing,” said JazzHR’s VP of Strategic Alliances, Amanda Friedl. “Users can now move candidates through their recruiting stages with confidence reinforced by each candidate’s Wonscore.” https://recruitingheadlines.com/jazzhr-partners-with-wonderlic-pre-employment-testing-provider/ 15Five, the pioneer in continuous performance management, today announced the close of a $30.7 million Series B round led by Next47, a global venture firm created by Siemens, with participation from Matrix Partners, PointNine Capital, Jason Calacanis’s LAUNCH Fund, Newground Ventures, Bling Capital, Chaifetz Group, and Chicago and Salt Lake City-based Origin Ventures, which led the startup’s Series A funding round.

We believe that the market has arrived and demand for talent management software like 15Five will continue.” 15Five differentiates itself by basing its product and Best-Self Management approach on the latest research in organizational development and positive psychology. This new approach posits that when leaders build cultures and institute practices that support people in being and becoming their Best Selves, then high performance and uncommon loyalty are the result. Best-Self Management begins with a “Best-Self Discovery” process—setting at least one Personal Development Objective along with other quarterly OKRs—and leverages other key 15Five features like the Weekly Check-in and 1-on-1s. https://recruitingheadlines.com/15five-raises-over-30-million-for-its-performance-management-software/ Every day, hundreds of our military personnel leave the service in search of civilian employment.

Realizing our potential to become fully developed adult human beings is not an easy task and it doesn’t just happen on its own. At 15Five, we feel strongly that company retreats provide the opportunity for levels of growth and connection that people need to become their best selves. A retreat layered with emotional renewal and peak experiences, which Abraham Maslow believed was necessary to achieve self-actualization, can make all the difference for individuals as well as the company culture and overall business success. Today, we’re exploring the importance of retreats. We’ve been putting these together since the start, even when there were only a handful of us here launching the company. We still hold them every year and the benefits have been substantial! We explain the many benefits we have seen as the result of our company retreats and how to get your employees enthusiastically involved. The term "Corporate offsite" makes us cringe, and retreats are something completely different. They bring everyone together to align around the mission and company priorities, and also to build camaraderie and connection in a setting away from the office. We also see retreats as a way to strengthen a company’s culture and values. We talk about how we design our retreats to do this. Success here involves many factors such as choosing an inspiring location, creating effective content, facilitating deeper connections on the team, and delivering peak experiences along with time afterward for integration. Have you had transformational experiences as the result of a company retreat? Tell us about it in the comments!   In this episode: The ROI that comes with a retreat that can’t easily be quantified Presenting the retreat to your employees so that they understand its real purpose - to accelerate business growth Retreats as times to truly reflect on and celebrate all the accomplishments that your business and employees have made The detailed structuring of a company-wide retreat including where to do them and what to focus on each day Candid and inspiring reflections that our employees have had about our retreats Taking advantage of great settings, activities, and places that will help inspire and excite your employees What happens when the retreat doesn’t go as planned Retreats as a space for your employees to connect to their own personal dreams and ambitions   Quotes: “We really credit the retreats we’ve created, company-wide, the leadership team, and for departments, as one of the key drivers for building an extraordinary culture.” [1:55] “Take a moment to really smell the roses, to celebrate. In this start-up game it's so easy to constantly be focusing on the next mountain to climb and never actually sit down, have a cup of tea, look back over everything you’ve already done.” [9:05] “Get some time outside; be inspired by the natural world. We now know that being immersed in nature changes our entire brain chemistry and helps us shift gears into a different way of being.”  [25:16] “You want to create an arc of experience. You want to create these emotional highs followed by space for integration.” [33:44]   Links: Find 15Five online Follow 15Five on Facebook | Twitter | Linkedin   A.H.

How can you have the life that you want, finding satisfaction in each moment through your work and experiencing a sense of flow and of purpose? This podcast is all about celebrating being your full self in the workplace. Too often we’re limiting our human potential in some very avoidable ways. Maybe your employees are worried about appearing too vulnerable to communicate what’s best for themselves or the company. Perhaps the leadership team isn’t modeling a supportive culture. Whatever it is, there are solutions! We’re David Hassell and Shane Metcalf, co-founders of 15Five, a leading continuous performance management software company with a strong focus on creating healthy and thriving workplaces. We started 15Five back in 2011. We're now in a high growth phase, hitting some pretty big revenue milestones, and recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the Best-Places to Work. All of this while helping our 130+ employees become the best versions of themselves. We credit our many successes to the Best-Self Management methodology, which is based on the latest research in the fields of social science and positive psychology. By supporting people in being and becoming their best selves, higher and ever-increasing performance becomes a natural by-product, not to mention uncommon levels of passion, commitment, and loyalty. We’re here to share with you the many important lessons we’ve learned over the last eight years. In our first episode, our guests will be... ourselves! We interview each other about where we went right over the years and where we went wrong. We started with a belief that there’s a different way to do business and that the key to creating a thriving, sustainable company in the long term was supporting our people. Coming off our latest all-company retreat, many employees shared how unique an experience they had of connection with others and of a shift in mindset around what’s possible for their growth in a business setting. We also discuss the influence that managers can have via clear and regular communication with employees because managers have the greatest line of sight to a person’s motivations and challenges. Candid communication develops the trust required to have authentic relationships so that you can help employees succeed without being stymied by their own limiting belief systems. And of course, none of this is possible without having solid practices in place for your leadership team. For example, doing transformational personal development work is critical for having the types of epiphanies that inform the creation of a thriving culture. How can your workplace create an atmosphere in which employees feel comfortable sharing more openly? Tell us in the comments!   In this episode: Creating intimacy in a room to cultivate vulnerability and deeper relating so that information and issues get shared Envisioning a company in which employees are given the support to become their best Moments of personal and professional growth that have influenced our workplace The belief and compassion necessary to help someone have the vision to change their life Creating a climate of psychological safety and trust so that everyone can feel comfortable sharing their fears and doubts Focus on the individual relationships between members of the leadership team to model a healthy working environment for all employees   Quotes: “We had a really clear intention that we believed that there is a different way to do business and that the key to creating a thriving, sustainable, high-performing company for the long-term was that we felt if we could create an environment where people were supported and becoming their best selves and unlocking their potential, then things would take care of themselves.” [3:24] “I came to the realization prior to 15Five that it’s possible to grow and change and transform, that we’re not fixed and we’re not stuck with the life that we have, that we can actually go out and change ourselves and change the world if we want to.” [8:54] “You can’t see the potential in somebody unless you have experienced those moments of transcendence where you actually get to see that you yourself are capable of more than you think you are. That allows you to have faith that somebody is capable of more than they are currently demonstrating.” [13:05] “We’re typically terrified of truth. We’re typically terrified of feedback and hearing about negative experiences that other people might have of us. And yet it is the secret to good relationships to lean into that truth.” [28:38]   Links: Find 15Five online Follow 15Five on Facebook | Twitter | Linkedin   The Speed of Trust by Stephen M.R.

Life is what happens when we make plans. Hear one man's journey of great personal loss and choosing to live in the now.

David Hassell is a serial entrepreneur and founder of 15Five, a SaaS company focused on helping managers and CEOs get effective insights from their people. Having managers and high-level executives become more aware of certain aspects of their company, allows them to proactively address issues before they become problems, acknowledge successes, discover great ideas, and support their team's growth and development. When David was a young entrepreneur, he raised some capital to build his business, but shortly after, the dotcom crash happened and his capital quickly dried up. This forced him to reinvent his company during a market crisis. He could no longer offer competitive salary to his talent, so he got creative with the hiring process. Instead of finding emerging talent from amazing universities, he looked for the diamonds in the rough that perhaps had gaps in their resume or were only high-school graduates. As his company grew, his talent was given much more responsibility and autonomy than they ever had before. This allowed them to excel and grow, exponentially, within the company. Resumes don't always reflect how your talent will react in a real work scenario. What might look like a B or C team on paper, would actually become an A team in reality, just by the way the team engaged and communicated with one another. Fantastic A teams on paper don't always work well, or become difficult, when engaging with other talent, as they're used to being the lone wolf that hogs all the attention. What did companies do differently where they were able to accomplish their goals and objectives years down the line vs. the ones that couldn't? The thing David kept coming back to was that it all boiled down to the team. You obviously need clarity and clear objectives, but does the team have a good culture? Is there high engagement? What are the dynamics that create these things? These questions are how David got to where he is today, and it is what led him to create his company, 15Five.   Interview Links: www.15five.com More Resources: ScalingUpBusiness.com:  Learn about how growth coaching can help you and and your business see big results.
