“HR Heretics†| How CPOs, CHROs, Founders, and Boards Build High Performing Companies
In this episode, Kelli Dragovich and Nolan Church are joined by Lucy Adams, founder of Disruptive HR. Adams critiques traditional HR's rigid policies, advocating instead for judgment-based approaches that treat employees as grown-ups.

今回のテーマは「分担型マネジメント」。CULTIBASE Radioは、これからの時代の「人」と「組織」のマネジメントの実践論を探究していく番組です。経営コンサルティングファームであり、文科省認定の研究機関でもある株式会社MIMIGURIがお送りしています。パーソナリティーは、株式会社MIMIGURI 代表取締役Co-CEOの安斎勇樹と、同じく代表取締役Co-CEOのミナベトモミが務めています。番組への感想は、SNSのハッシュタグ #CULTIBASE にてお待ちしています。▼概要MIMIGURIの全社会が開催され、年間の振り返りと経営戦略の発表が行われました。今年は特に、コンサル部門の組織変革が大きなテーマとなりました。部門は50人規模に成長し、新たに3つのブティックへと分割。これにより、それぞれのチームが独自の強みやビジョンを活かし、より専門性の高いブティックファームとしての発展を目指す方針が示されました。各ブティックには2人のトップを据えたパートナー体制が導入され、より柔軟で力強い経営が求められます。しかし、パートナー体制には課題もあります。よくある問題のひとつが、トップが役割を分担することで、レポートラインが分かれ、チームが分断されてしまうことです。目標や課題設定の段階でトップ同士が分業してしまうと、チーム全体が一つの価値に向かえず、連携が弱まってしまいます。これは、トップの二人が「共に協力しないと解けない課題」を設定していないことや、「共通の問い」に対する対話が不足していることに起因します。そこで今回は、Co-CEOである安斎とミナベが、共同経営の暗黙知を棚卸しし、Coパートナー体制を機能させる鍵について探究しました。安斎とミナベは、ケイパビリティ・得意領域の違いはありつつも、経営の理念や探究テーマに対して、“ひとりでは答えが出せない“という前提で向き合っています。全社会のメッセージ・ビジョンを共に作り上げるなど、それぞれ別のコンテンツを一つのコンテンツに再編集するという芸風で共同経営を進めることなど、コラボレーションの勘所を具体的に語りました。「チームで創る活動をする」ことの重要性とは？共同経営の実践から見えてきた、パートナー体制の成功のポイントを深掘りします。番組への感想は、SNSのハッシュタグ #CULTIBASE にてお待ちしています。CULTIBASE RadioはSpotifyやApple podcast、YouTubeなどでも配信中！最新情報を見逃さないよう、ぜひお好きなメディアでフォロー/チャンネル登録をお願いします！▼関連リンクへろへろマネージャーを救えるか？ゆとりをもたらす「分担型マネジメント」の事例と課題｜遊ぶマネージャー#4https://www.cultibase.jp/videos/playing-manager4分断される組織に「背骨」をつくる人的資源のマネジメント：組織ファシリテーターとしてのHRBPの役割とは？https://www.cultibase.jp/articles/10557チームと組織の在り方のパラダイムシフト：ファクトリー型からワークショップ型へ | CULTIBASEhttps://www.cultibase.jp/articles/8671◇ ◇ ◇▼CULTIBASEhttps://www.cultibase.jp/▼CULTIBASE Lab無料会員登録https://www.cultibase.jp/signup▼株式会社MIMIGURI コーポレートサイトhttps://mimiguri.co.jp/

It can redefine how organizations connect with their people and create more meaningful, holistic experiences that truly engage employees.

(34:09) The importance of clear communication in Total Rewards programs is explored (37:11) She talks about how a strong Total Rewards strategy can impact employee retention, especially in a competitive job market. (50:16) Final thoughts from her on the future of Total Rewards and how organizations can evolve to meet the changing needs of their workforce.
Rebroadcast note: We're hard at work recording a brand new miniseries for January, so this week we're resharing one this episode from our Future of HR miniseries. As we've worked with companies over the last year to reimagine their HR departments, we've seen this episode's ideas and lessons about evolving the HRBP even more important in practice. So take a listen with some fresh ears, and we'll see in two weeks with a brand new episode. The role of HR Business Partner is often a tale of two experiences. On the one hand, HRBPs are some of the most empathetic and passionate people you'll ever meet. On the other hand, they're stuck on the hamster wheel of busywork, bouncing from crisis to crisis without the authority to prioritize their energy—and without the respect from leadership to make a real difference. Look up “burnout” in the dictionary and odds are you'll find a picture of an HRBP. In this miniseries, Brave New Work's Rodney Evans is joined by friend-of-the-pod and Ready OG Sam Spurlin to dive into how HR can become more resilient, efficient, and equitable. Today on episode 5, they explore how this critical role took a hard left turn from it's intended purpose, what its future-of-work glow-up (hello, HR Business Coach) could look like, and how HR Business Coaches + Mission-Based Teaming = unlimited potential.

From working 90-hour weeks in tech recruitment to building a thriving healthcare practice that runs on 50 hours, Maddie Loomis discovered that sometimes doing less is the key to achieving more. After launching Advanced Scope, she specialized in orthopedics and sports medicine recruitment. She doubled her revenue by shifting from contingent to retained search and building the right team while working nearly half the hours. Maddie is the founder of Advanced Scope and the host of the Healthy Careers podcast. Join us as she shares her journey and the key decisions that transformed her business into what it is today. Episode Outline and Highlights [01:58] From fundraising to recruitment - Maddie's unexpected path into healthcare recruiting [03:39] Why leave tech? Maddie's decision to start Advanced Scope [03:52] Choosing healthcare and orthopedics specialization despite tech background [15:01] The game-changer: Moving from contingent to retained search [16:37] Innovative "dating period" approach to client relationships [27:39] Building the right team: Finding people who share your values [30:34] Unique co-working approach to testing team fit [35:56] Creating sustainability: Journey from 90 to 50-hour weeks [43:24] Leveraging the Healthy Careers podcast for business growth [45:23] Converting podcast guests into business relationships [47:21] Future vision: Creating a self-sufficient team How This Healthcare Recruiter Doubled Revenue with a Simple Shift in Business Model When Maddie experienced the frustration of losing three months of work when a contingent client suddenly decided to hire internally, she knew something had to change. The reality of contingent recruiting meant competing with multiple agencies and often sending candidates to several practices to maximize placement chances. "If I'm contingent working on your role, and I know that there's absolutely, you know, like a 15 to 20% chance that I'm filling this position, I'm going to type in where your practice is and look up every other practice within that region that I could send that candidate to." Her solution? An innovative "dating period" approach that starts contingent on testing the relationship before transitioning to retained. This allows both parties to ensure fit while demonstrating the value of a committed partnership. The strategy proved transformative - doubling her income from year one to year two while improving client relationships and candidate experience. When presenting retained partnerships, Maddie addresses common client frustrations with contingent recruitment head-on. She helps them understand that without mutual commitment, they're competing not just for candidates but with other opportunities their recruiter is pursuing. As she explains, "It's not about the money. I want you to show me that you're in this with me and that you actually want me to win." The result? A more predictable business model, higher-quality client relationships, and the ability to focus deeply on fewer, more committed searches. Most importantly, it created the foundation for a sustainable business that serves both clients and candidates more effectively. Building a Recruitment Business That Doesn't Depend on You Working late nights and answering Slack messages on her wedding day wasn't what Maddie envisioned when starting her recruitment business. "I got to the point where it was like, okay, either I'm going to burn out and this is going to be short-lived, or I'm going to get the right people on the bus and give them the trust to do the things." She realized that she had to hire the right team members for her business to be self-sustaining. Here are the key action points she took: Created a unique "co-working" approach to test cultural fit before hiring Empowered team with up to 50% commission structure Built systems that allow people to run their own "mini-businesses" Reduced hours from 90 to 50 while doubling revenue Focused on being a visionary instead of doing everything herself Today, her business thrives on trust, autonomy, and shared values rather than founder dependency. Do you envision your recruitment business to be the same? Podcasting to Engage with Audience and Future Business Relationships Madison effectively uses her podcast, "Healthy Careers," to engage with her audience and build business relationships. Here is a summary of how she is doing this: Madison's podcast allows her to connect with her audience and potential clients on a personal level. She shares insights and experiences that give listeners a better understanding of her expertise and the market. By recording three to four podcasts a week, she ensures consistent engagement with her audience, providing valuable content and building rapport with listeners. The podcast is a platform for developing long-term relationships with clients and partners. Through the podcast, Madison gets a feel for the market pulse, which helps in better conversations with clients. Madison's strategy of sending personalized gifts like engraved Yeti cups and gift cards to podcast guests fosters a sense of exclusivity and gratitude. This thoughtful gesture reinforces the relationship and keeps their brand top of mind. Business conversions may not be immediate, but the trust built over time through high-touch follow-ups and engaging content helps convert podcast guests into clients in the future. Madison Loomis Bio and Contact Info Maddie has a background in healthcare, finance, and technology as both a recruiter and HRBP. After 8 years in Corporate America, she set out to reshape the typical staffing approach. She is now the owner of Advanced Scope - a boutique search firm focused on permanent, direct hire for Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine private practices in hiring clinical and leadership positions.

Returning to the USA, Kelly's curiosity led her to explore finance and investing even more than ever before, resulting in making big moves on her own with impressive returns on investments like Netflix and Dogecoin - this allowed her to invest in "Walter the Vault" an iconic character to help families to learn about money. Over the past 3 years she's worked building out this business, paid in sweat labor, ownership and encouragement. She's 100% driven to share simplified financial literacy knowledge for families, believing that financial education should be a fundamental part of everyone's life from a young age. In addition to building out educational financial content, Kelly boldly advocates for retail investors, proudly holding positions in GameStop, AMC, and "the former" Bed Bath and Beyond. She sees these investments as incredible opportunities to challenge financial norms and empower individuals. To be clear, Kelly is not a financial advisor, nothing she says is financial advice... she encourages you to do your own research and not consider any of this conversation anything more than speculation. It's similar to celebrity gossip, but business gossip that Kelly is invested in and excited about, chatting about. Don't read into it more than that. Do your own research. Kelly's passion for "Walter the Vault's" success qualified her as a finalist for "Rising Leader" among the 2023 Women in Toys, Wonder Women Awards. She is also currently studying for her EMBA at Quantic University (and really enjoying the experience!)

Rivers is an organizer not a fraternizer. In his many years of running for public office, he has not taken money from lobbyists, or any special interest groups. He considers himself to be a representative of the people, not a politician. He not only stands for the people but with the people. Rivers wants to increase the state budget by 12.5% over the next three years. This will be accomplished through increasing more import and export commerce thus creating more jobs. Rivers plans to improve Washington State's desperate need for a better mental health system. The state and the health system need to work together to structure a mental health system that deals with preventive treatment as well as diagnostic and continuous treatment. It should be structured for everyone, not just those who are chronically mentally ill. Rivers wholeheartedly support a woman's right to freedom of choice. No person, politician or government has the right to make that choice for a woman about what she can and cannot do with her body. Men have the freedom of choice and so should women. Rivers knows that homelessness is one of the biggest crisis facing our state and nation. He wants to develop programs that will not only help to reduce the problem but treat the underlying causes such as runaways stemming from child trafficking and abuse, inflated mortgage rates, and unemployment as well as mental illness. Don L. Rivers plans to go across the state to all 39 counties to speak with the communities. This is to explore avenues and options which can uplift each county. Also to get a better understanding of the needs for investment opportunities in areas of real estate, manufacturing, education, etc. We talked about the following and other items Homelessness as untapped resource Eradicating homelessness in Washington state with a focus on philanthropy and new revenue sources.

One of my students, his name is, Brian has an amazing, amazing, amazing story. One of his biggest things I want to show people is how to take that dream and put action behind that dream. But anything that you want to do you have to work for, it's not going to be just given to you. Some people are outliers where it is, but we don't live in an outlier society where 90% of that is happening. So think about your dream, the purpose behind your dream, know that there's going to be order behind that dream in order for you to really commit to it. Once you commit to it, there's gonna be a lot of white noise around you. But you have to learn how to treat that as surface level things and aim high. If you ever need resources, there are people out here for you, such as Black Boy Heal and other community resources.

Rivers is an organizer not a fraternizer. In his many years of running for public office, he has not taken money from lobbyists, or any special interest groups. He considers himself to be a representative of the people, not a politician. He not only stands for the people but with the people. Rivers wants to increase the state budget by 12.5% over the next three years. This will be accomplished through increasing more import and export commerce thus creating more jobs. Rivers plans to improve Washington State's desperate need for a better mental health system. The state and the health system need to work together to structure a mental health system that deals with preventive treatment as well as diagnostic and continuous treatment. It should be structured for everyone, not just those who are chronically mentally ill. Rivers wholeheartedly support a woman's right to freedom of choice. No person, politician or government has the right to make that choice for a woman about what she can and cannot do with her body. Men have the freedom of choice and so should women. Rivers knows that homelessness is one of the biggest crisis facing our state and nation. He wants to develop programs that will not only help to reduce the problem but treat the underlying causes such as runaways stemming from child trafficking and abuse, inflated mortgage rates, and unemployment as well as mental illness. Don L. Rivers plans to go across the state to all 39 counties to speak with the communities. This is to explore avenues and options which can uplift each county. Also to get a better understanding of the needs for investment opportunities in areas of real estate, manufacturing, education, etc. We talked about the following and other items Homelessness, lack of solutions, and personal experiences.

You can read a couple books on the topic, you can create a list of all your options.

Sponsor CavnessHR delivers HR companies with 49 or fewer people with our HR platform and by providing you access to your own HRBP. www.CavnessHR.com Rosa's Bio Rosa Crumpton, BSN, MBA, RN, is dedicated to holistic health and serving underserved communities. With over 18 years of nursing experience, she founded Melanated Health Secrets, a blog dedicated to empowering individuals, especially fibroid sufferers, to manage their conditions naturally by balancing hormones and resetting their nervous systems. She will graduate in a few weeks with a Doctorate of Nursing Practice in Family Practice at Pacific Lutheran University, where she focuses on cultural aspects of care. Her innovative approach and dedication to holistic health have earned her features in several prestigious publications, including Slate, Nurse Journal, and Thrive Global, and appearances on platforms like the Black Women Rising podcast. Rosa's passion for health advocacy shines through her work with Melanated Health Secrets, where she combines her extensive nursing background with a deep understanding of holistic wellness to guide individuals toward improved health literacy and self-care practices. As a Tacoma native, Rosa's journey is also deeply personal, as are her fibroid and thyroid experiences. A mother to a vibrant blended family and a proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., her life is a testament to her belief in community, advocacy, and the transformative power of culturally competent care.

I know it's a struggle. It can take a couple of interviews to try to find the right provider. Now, if you don't have a good relationship with your provider, shop around. We are fortunate to be in that kind of time that we're able to do that. But it's really important for you to have somebody that knows your health when you are somewhat healthy. Because if you do have something happen and you go to the emergency room or the urgent care. They don't have your whole record, they don't know all the stuff that's going on with you. That's not where you get treated, especially with chronic health issues. My second thing is if you are a veteran and you have not signed up for your veterans benefits, please do that. You can file online, you could call the number, just Google like VA benefits or whatever. Fairly straight forward process, but it does take time. So go ahead and get that started today.

I think the more we can carve out time to be fully present, the more successful we're going to be in all the work that we do both personally and professionally.
