This week, McKay talks about aspects of the culture effect, including creating culture, maintaining it, and how to rescue it. He opens up with a story detailing Tonga's devastating volcanic eruption and how the Tongan culture, which values respect and open-mindedness, helped the people weather the storm. McKay notes that, when teams or families have a strong culture, they will thrive and prosper, but, on the other hand, when culture is weak, it can destroy your team and everything you're working for. McKay also emphasizes that, as leaders, we have the opportunity to influence and shape the culture that drives us, and goes on to share that, to do so, we must learn to value feedback. So, make sure that you are slow to speak and quick to listen when it comes to creating a culture and values. Likewise, an influential leader will lead by example, sharing and modeling the values by which they hope their team will abide. McKay draws this episode to a close with one final piece of advice: be careful who you let join your team. All it takes is one person to totally alter your culture, so protect it and you will protect your team as well.The Finer Details of This Episode:Tonga's devastating volcanic eruption The fall of IBM Defining culture Influencing culture The importance of feedback Sharing and modeling values Why mid level managers create cultureQuotes:"Tongans look out for each other and respect others. Many Tongans may avoid outward signs of wealth or affection. They dress in modest ways, and they're highly receptive to other people's opinion and behavior.”“Culture can guide a team, lead a company to thrive and prosper, or culture can, like toxic ash, choke a team and cause companies to fail, or fall.”“Most leaders don't understand culture and they don't know how to diagnose or influence it.”“Culture can help teams be more agile, loyal and effective… Culture can also be a significant liability when it's misaligned with your strategy or values. And it doesn't matter how dysfunctional your culture may be on your team today, you can improve it with a plan and intentional effort.”“So, like the researchers in Roseto, you may have to set up camp for a while on your team, maybe even in your family - watch, listen, and observe. See if you can uncover some of the cultural behaviors and assumptions that your team members have.”“You see, some leaders stopped showing up for the small things. And the result? Their people do the same. What you do duplicates, so if you want to change the culture on your team, model the behavior.”“Hire and recruit people who exemplify what culture you're trying to create. And over time, these managers will influence your entire team. So be very selective about the people you let influence your team.”“Listen, learn, and determine where your culture is today to define the mission and values that will underpin your future culture.”Links: Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

Influencing up is a critical skill to moving up in our careers. We need to be intentional and strategic if we want to be more visible for a new role, promotion or to attract any new opportunity. These six tips will help you get there faster.Build credibility with consistent excellenceDeliver exceptional results consistently to establish yourself as reliable and valuable. When leaders trust your work quality and judgment, they're more likely to consider your ideas and recommendations. Recognize that you have specialized knowledge or frontline insights that leadership lacks. Share these perspectives confidently.Understand your leader's priorities and pressuresTake time to learn what matters most to decision-makers above you - their goals, challenges, and what they're evaluated on. Frame your proposals in terms of these priorities to show alignment with their objectives.Present solutions, not just problemsWhen raising issues, come prepared with thoughtful recommendations and implementation plans. Leaders appreciate team members who think proactively and take initiative rather than simply escalating issues.Communicate strategicallyFrame your ideas in terms of organizational goals and leadership priorities. Tailor your message to your audience's communication style.  Some leaders prefer data-driven presentations while others respond to storytelling. Be concise, focus on impact, and anticipate potential questions or concerns.Build genuine relationships before you need themDevelop trust through reliability, thoughtful interactions, and demonstrating value in everyday work. Identify and nurture relationships with influential stakeholders who can champion your ideas. When multiple respected voices support your position, it creates momentum that's difficult for leaders to ignore. Connect with leaders on a personal level while maintaining professionalism. Demonstrate emotional intelligenceRead the organizational climate and timing carefully. Understand when to press forward with an idea and when to temporarily step back. Show empathy for the pressures leaders face while maintaining conviction in your valuable contributions.Some resources for you:Want to see how you score as a confident communicator? Take The Confidence Cocktail Assessment: https://karenlaos.com/confidence-cocktail-fb/Project more confidence and credibility with my free tips: 9 Words to Avoid & What to Say Instead: https://karenlaos.lpages.co/words-to-avoid/My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: https://karenlaos.com/book/Episodes also available on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEwQoTGdJX5eME0ccBKiKng/videosAbout me:Many years ago I found myself tongue-tied in a boardroom, my colleagues and executives staring at me.

Summary In this conversation, Andrew Beveridge speaks with Brad Englert, founder of Brad Englert Advisory and author of 'Spheres of Influence'. They discuss the importance of mentorship, building genuine relationships in business, and the significance of understanding both internal and external spheres of influence. Brad shares insights from his extensive experience in IT and leadership, emphasising the need for proactive customer service, the power of apology, and the challenges of influencing without formal authority. The discussion also touches on the dynamics of hybrid work environments and the importance of maintaining connections in a remote setting. Learn more about Brad and access a free chapter of his book - https://bradenglert.com/podcast/   Takeaways Mentorship is a two-way street, involving both giving and receiving. Understanding your boss's expectations is crucial for success. Building genuine relationships can lead to long-term success. Proactive customer service is more effective than reactive fire drills. Apologising can build trust and strengthen relationships. Long-term relationships can lead to unexpected opportunities. Creating a positive organisational culture requires clear communication and values. Navigating crises requires preparation and strong relationships. Influencing others without authority is a key leadership skill. Hybrid work environments require intentional relationship-building.   Chapters 00:11 Introduction to Brad Englert 03:26 Understanding Spheres of Influence 10:13 Building Genuine Relationships 16:24 Cultural Transformation in IT 23:04 Navigating Crisis and Change 28:58 The Power of Apology 32:24 Communication and Clarity in Leadership 36:52 Understanding Expectations and Influencing Upwards 39:29 Building Customer Relationships 45:02 Influencing Without Authority 48:46 Navigating Hybrid Work Environments 51:59 Looking Ahead: The Future of Leadership

Before Monet painted water lilies or Degas sketched ballerinas, a wave was crashing in from the East. In this episode, we explore how Japanese woodblock prints—especially Hokusai's ‘The Great Wave off Kanagawa'—reshaped the way Western artists thought about space, subject, and form. From flattened perspective to everyday scenes, ukiyo-e wasn't just decorative—it was revolutionary. We'll unpack the rise of Japonisme, its deep (and sometimes uneasy) influence on Impressionism, and how one iconic wave helped turn the tide of art history. Today's image: Katsushika Hokusai, ‘Under the Wave off Kanagawa (Kanagawa oki nami ura),' (1830-32). Woodblock print; ink and color on paper.

Equities aren't the only corner of markets where volatility is being driven by tariff headlines. Charles Schwab's Cooper Howard believes a lack of tariff clarity will create long-term "sideways" chop in bonds. Michelle Gibley notes how a tariff framework can keep inflation from blocking a potential dovish response from the Fed on interest rates.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this episode, Patrick McKenzie (@patio11) is joined by Daniel Golliher, founder of Maximum New York, to discuss the opaque mechanics of political power and how everyday people can effectively engage with government systems. They explore the stark gap between formal political science degrees and how politics actually works, practical tactics for influencing policy (like optimizing the printability of a blog post to placing well-timed calls to legislators), and Daniel's concept of ‘blue tape'. Throughout the conversation, they emphasize that participating in governance requires far less expertise and connections than most people assume—mainly just the willingness to show up prepared. –Full transcript available here: www.complexsystemspodcast.com/understanding-and-wielding-power-in-local-government-with-daniel-golliher/–Sponsor:  VantaVanta automates security compliance and builds trust, helping companies streamline ISO, SOC 2, and AI framework certifications.

There's an interesting moment that happens nowadays. You're on your phone, you're scrolling through reels of cat videos and your cousin's baby's first birthday cake smash, and then… there it is. A person you've never met, standing in perfect golden-hour light, wearing an outfit that makes you stop and think, “Hey, maybe I could pull that off”. Then, before you even realize you're shopping, you've clicked through, checked your size, and added it to your cart. It didn't start in a store. You didn't search for a brand or a product. You saw a person. And although you don't know them, you trust them. And that trust has become the new currency in the rapidly expanding business of Influencing. The social media influencer, once a niche personality with a smartphone and a few followers, has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry, reshaping retail and redefining the relationship between brands and their audiences all over the world. To help us better understand the impact that these content creators are having on our business we'll first chat with our very own Vice President of Marketing for Nordstrom, Marie Langhout-Franklin. After that we'll explore the broader landscape of influencing and retail with a super talented entrepreneur by the name of Amber Venz Box, co-founder and President of an incredibly powerful social retailing platform called LTK. To wrap it all up you'll hear from an actual full-time influencer by the name of Sara Walker. Thanks for tuning in to episode 85. We hope you enjoy it! Did you know that YOU can be on The Nordy Pod?
