We're kicking off the second year of The Clarity Advisors Show with a three-part series looking back at highlights from the first 52 episodes. In this week's show, host Ken Trupke's guests discuss leadership and the importance of culture when building teams.Timestamps  (00:19): Phil Sponsler (02:39): Bo Short (03:50): Joe Ponds (05:16): Matt Baxter (06:11): Bo Short (08:19): Harry Spaight (09:50): Bo Short (11:09): Michelle Steffes (12:26): Daryl Dixon (14:50): James Mayhew (15:54): Chris Wilson (17:37): Jen Hamilton (20:11): Randy Joppie (22:01): Jen HamiltonEpisode Quotes“If you're somebody that doesn't like conflict, then you need to get it. You need to be able to make those tough decisions because the greater good is at risk.” (Phil Sponsler)“We understand that barking orders is just not the way to communicate to anyone. Now, that's not to say you need to soft pedal it, because being direct and being very clear – but being polite – always works, regardless of where you come from.” (Joe Ponds)“The people on your team are the ambassadors to your vision.” (Michelle Steffes)“It's not about protecting people's feelings. It's about equipping someone to become better at what they do so the organization becomes better and that person you're helping becomes better.” (Bo Short)"The biggest thing that has changed is that in the past, you could capitalize on the market because of your access to capital or you had the latest, greatest technology. Now it's all about the workforce. How you win and how you compete is by having the best team."  (Jen Hamilton)Recommended Listening and ViewingThe Clarity Advisors Show podcastThe Clarity Advisors Show on YouTube

If you want to improve your company culture and boost your employee engagement, there are three Foundational Conversations that managers need to implement on a consistent basis:The Expectations ConversationThe Priorities ConversationThe Performance ConversationWhen people have clarity, they know exactly:What they're doing,Why they're doing it,Which things are a priority, andHow they're doing.This gives your employees the confidence to do their best work and contributes to the metrics that are so important in business. Don't miss this: when people are unsure about what to do, they tend to not do it. They fill that time working on other things until they can get the response they need from their supervisor.** Confidence Covered By Humility is a podcast by James Mayhew for anyone who wants to lead their business, their team and their home with humble confidence.Connect with James on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesrmayhew/Watch James' video series for building a High Performance Workplace Culture on YouTubeSchedule a meeting to talk with James.

There's the old saying, ignorance is bliss. But in business, being ignorant is never blissful. In fact, it's stressful, reckless and makes you vulnerable.In this edition of the Iron Sharpens Iron segments, James breaks down 5 ways that you can work to reduce your vulnerabilities around the things that you don't know that you don't know and avoid the pain and potential harm they could do.The Setup:You know the things you know. You also know about the things that you don't know;But, you are blind to the things that you don't know that you don't know. And this is where you can are most vulnerable and exposed to setbacks and potential catastrophic mistakes. Coaching Points#1 Build a network of peers.This is essential because you can share stories with others who understand where you're at. Even if they don't have the answer, they can probably tell you what they tried, what worked, and what didn't work and that can be valuable information to have, too. #2 Attend a workshop, conference, or webinar. Similar to networking there are always events, seminars and webinars you can learn from. Don't miss this: part of your job as leader is learning. No one has all the answers, so make sure you're investing in learning about your industry, related industries, and the skills you and your team need. Bonus tip: Make sure you're not just learning to learn or for the experience. If you attend a conference, set goals and objectives with each of your team about what they want to come away with before the conference. Then, break it down with them after and create actual implementation goals. This is the only way you can ensure you have a return on your investment. #3 Build up your presence on LinkedIn and engage with people.LinkedIn is where it's at. There's an enormous amount of wisdom, knowledge and experience there. The vast majority of people there are producing useful content and sharing valuable knowledge. You'll find links to podcasts and videos of various professionals. There is a treasure chest of opportunity there to learn from and grow your network. Don't be a lurker either, get involved and engage with others even if you're not ready to post yet. #4 Commit to being a learner.Perhaps you've heard the sayings, leaders are readers and learners are earners. In my experience, both of those statements are absolutely true.Books, videos, podcasts and e-courses are great learning opportunities. Turn your car into a classroom and listen to audiobooks and podcasts. #5 Hire a coach.Athletes like Tom Brady who played at the highest levels into their mid 40s. All of them have used various coaches throughout their careers. So why not you? Why wouldn't you use a coach to help you improve your business? Sometimes our own pride gets in the way. It's easy to think that's for others. Perhaps it's viewed as weak or you don't want to be vulnerable. A business coach or a leadership coach will help you see things you don't see. Here's some ways a coach can help you:They'll help you navigate through challenges. They can be a sounding board to bounce ideas around. The'll hold you capable to your goals. ** Confidence Covered By Humility is a podcast by James Mayhew for anyone who wants to lead their business, their team and their home with humble confidence.Connect with James on

In this episode, special co-host James Mayhew w/ Strength Finders, helps unpack how each of us in the body of Christ have God-given strengths and talents.

Hurriedness is one of the biggest - if not the biggest threat to our joy, our fulfillment and our success in life.We need to address this issue because for some reason here in America, we celebrate movement over results.We seem to have forgotten that going faster does not lead to getting more things done.We compare who had a busier weekend.How many places we serve or volunteer at.How many activities our kids are in.And being hurried and rushed just makes us look dumb, unprepared, and amateurish.** Discussion Points **Hurriedness impacts you personally.Hurriedness impacts your productivity and efficiency.Hurriedness impacts your relationships.Our pride and ego is a driving factor for being in a constant state of hurried.Overcommitting and lacking systems will ensure you'll feel hurried.Solutions:1. Identify the factors that cause you to be hurried.2. Change your perspective.3.

Our problem with waiting has less to do with time... and a LOT more to do with our need for control. David Condry, Lead Pastor of Blessed Hope Community Church joins James to discuss the challenge of "waiting".Talking Points:• Waiting makes us feel like we're wasting time and/or missing opportunities.• Waiting is a positive thing• Waiting is not in activity• What "running to keep up with Jesus" means and how we might misinterpret itPsalm 27 is the featured text in this podcast.** Confidence Covered By Humility is a podcast by James Mayhew for anyone who wants to lead their business, their team and their home with humble confidence.Connect with James on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesrmayhew/High Performance Workplace Culture Video Serieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBGgrjEdy18&list=PL_CshlQDwEH7r-H281v9MkXSspjlihgmHWebsitehttps://jamesmayhew.com

"Everyone here, everyone on this earth has a light that's buried inside of them. And it's our goal to get back to that child that we once were, that had goals, dreams, aspirations before the world destroyed our our vision, and put that fear of failure on us."– Jacob Brown, Transformational SpeakerIn this edition of 'Iron Sharpens Iron', James highlights 3 life lessons from his interview with Jacob Brown.1. In order to #failforward, you first have to try.Jacob's platform is “fail forward.” It's the concept that when you fail, you're still learning and as long as you keep going, you're making progress toward your goals or dreams. But the truth is you won't make progress if you let fear stop you from even trying. The fear of failure will keep you on the sidelines, keep you out of the game. You have to be willing to put yourself out there and risk being embarrassed, or failing. 2. The clay and mud that hides your gifts are part of your story.When Jacob talked about the Golden Buddha, he makes a point that when you overcome self doubt and self-imposed limitations, that your story shows others what's possible. It inspires to believe that maybe, “I can do it, too!”That's the connectedness of the human existence. Other people inspire us to try the thing that we don't feel qualified for because we see the difficulty they had to go through; the resilience and perseverance and grit it took.As the clay and the mud that conceals your God-given gifts starts to chip away you start to think differently, act differently, relate differently, believe differently.3. Meekness is power under control.--------------** Confidence Covered By Humility is a podcast by James Mayhew for anyone who wants to lead their business, their team and their home with humble confidence.Connect with James on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesrmayhew/High Performance Workplace Culture Video Serieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBGgrjEdy18&list=PL_CshlQDwEH7r-H281v9MkXSspjlihgmHWebsitehttps://jamesmayhew.com

Especially when it comes after a hardship, a setback or a loss.That's exactly how a college athlete spoke after a heartbreaking defeat in the 2023 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament.During the postgame press conference, a reporter wanted to find out if this particular loss in the Elite 8 would be a motivator for the star athlete.Her response was an epic one, and that's the topic for this episode of Confidence Covered By Humility.Faith is a huge part of my life and therefore, a huge part of my business. It guides my decisions and goals. It helps me determine how I serve clients. And, knowing not just who I am, but Who's I am, allows me to serve with both confidence and humility.And that takes me right back to the story about the women's basketball player whose response to a reporter's question was something to be remembered.Hailey Van Lith is a point guard for the Louisville Cardinals. She's known for her toughness, her competitiveness, and her leadership.After the Elite 8 loss on March 26, she was asked by a reporter, “What does coming up short in your goal of making it to the Final Four mean for your off season?”Even though I'm an Iowa Hawkeye through and through, and it was the Hawkeyes that Hailey had just lost to, I have to say that her confident response gave me goosebumps.She said, and I quote, I'm not motivated by external factors. I'm motivated by myself and I always have been.If we would have won the national championship this year I would have had the same amount of motivation in me. That's just who I am.I'm not motivated at all by the fact they named me Honorable Mention. I know who I am and what God thinks I am, and God doesn't think I'm an honorable mention, I'll tell you that right now.That is such an impressive answer to me. Because it came in a moment where she's on stage, one step away from her and her team's goal to make the final four.Here's why that is such a remarkable statement: God doesn't see you or I or Hailey Van Lith as being on His first team, second team, or honorable mention. In God's eyes you are precious and honored. Psalm 139: 13-14 reads, “For you created my innermost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”In 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come. The old has gone, the new is here!”That means when you have accepted Jesus, you are made new in Him. Your slate is wiped clean and the things from your past that you think

Have you ever felt stuck or put something off because you didn't think you were ready?That's what I want to talk about with you today, because there are many of us who struggle with achieving a challenging goal we've set for ourselves, or launching a new venture, or chasing down that big dream. On episode 2, I spoke with Jarrett Samuels who is the founder of The Pursuit of Manliness, and he dropped some of the best wisdom you'll hear about what it means to lead with a confidence that's covered by humility.The big take away for me was the value of allowing yourself to be a beginner.And that got me thinking about times when I've had an idea that I was excited about, but right as I was about to roll up my sleeves and get after it, something happened.That excitement I had would be replaced with various reasons why I thought it might not work:- it's not the right time- that will take more effort than I can give right now- or there's probably someone else who's already doing it better…- and so on.I would give in to those doubts then start telling myself Maybe this isn't such a great idea. Before long I had completely talked myself out of pursing that big goal which left me with an overwhelming sense of loss and failure.I don't think I'm alone here. I've coached long enough to know that this happens to many of us.What I learned from Jarrett is that one way to overcome those doubts might be as simple as reminding yourself of this:It's OK to be a beginner.-------Confidence Covered By Humility is a podcast by James Mayhew for anyone who wants to lead their business, their team and their home with humble confidence.Connect with James on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesrmayhew/High Performance Workplace Culture Video Serieshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBGgrjEdy18&list=PL_CshlQDwEH7r-H281v9MkXSspjlihgmHWebsitehttps://jamesmayhew.com

I know exactly where I was when I first heard the phrase, confidence covered by humility.I was on I380 driving through Cedar Rapids, Iowa and talking with my good friend, Jarrett Samuels.He was telling me about a situation he was going through while developing his passion project, The Pursuit of Manliness when I first heard those words.All I remember thinking at that moment was wow, that's really good. And for the last 6 years those words have been etched in my mind and have found their way into my coaching and consulting business. In fact, they've become such an important element in my business and life, I wanted to find a way to share it with as many people as possible.And that's the inspiration for this podcast.I'd like to invite you to come along on this journey with me.

Have you wondered how some companies are able to remain strong and seemingly able to withstand almost any external pressure like rising costs and even the threat of a global recession? Do these companies have some sort of secret formula? And how do they seem to hold onto great people while many companies are struggling with turnover and trying to find great people.If you're experiencing some of these concerns and are hoping to find some answers, grab a notebook and get ready to take some notes as I'm joined by my friend, Ken Trupke.Busy leaders hire Ken to help them identify the issues preventing them from growing their business, but what I like most about Ken's approach is that he believes everyone wants to do work that excites them, to be part of something greater than themselves, and to be appreciated.If you're new to the podcast, my name is James Mayhew and i started this podcast with one thing in mind: to help you ensure that every person in your company has the knowledge, skills and confidence to do their jobs exceedingly well.I'm glad you're here. Now let's jump in and learn from Ken Trupke.

You've probably heard that people don't leave bad jobs; they leave because of bad bosses, poor management, and a lack of appreciation of their worth.It's cliche, yet it happens all the time and exit interviews confirm it.Just because you're in a management or leadership position, the immature, inexperienced or insecure leader incorrectly assumes that the people on their team will automatically respect, listen and follow direction directions. It really doesn't work that way. In fact, it takes a great deal of time, effort and skills to develop trust, let alone build true rapport with your team.Here's what doesn't work.Constant criticism, sarcasm, micro managing and just being downright cruel in your communication.Think back to a time in your life when you've worked for a manager who routinely shoots down your ideas, doesn't hear you out, and just overall, is disrespectful to you. It makes you miserable, erodes your confidence and overall, just makes your job intolerable.This is a recipe for losing your best people. But what if there was a better way? A simple, but powerful framework that promises to build trust and rapport?That framework is the topic for episode 67 where I'm joined once again by my friend and turnaround specialist, Kevin Wormwood where we discuss the power of integrity, dignity and prosperity.I'm James Mayhew, America's Chief Culture Officer, and this podcast focuses on helping companies attract and retain great people, improve communication at every level, and boost your bottom line.

Have you ever asked yourself this? What value am I bringing to this conversation today?  Hey, Team welcome back to Lead Thru Values. This podcast exists to help you ensure that every person on your team has the skills, knowledge and confidence to do their job exceptionally well. And today's podcast is a new, short form version that I'm calling Lessons From The Training Room, where I share a powerful real-world leadership examples with you from my work with executives, business owners and managers. Today's topic is reflective… it's designed to cause you think about the impact you're making today. Because there are a lot of people in leadership roles out there who are just going through the motions… just checking the boxes… just trying to make it through the day and through the week. But if you have the burden of leadership… and yes, I specifically said burden — not privilege — then this might hit home for you, or for others on your team. So go and teach it. Before you send that next email… Before you have your next 1:1 with a team member… Before you start your next team meeting… Pause long enough and ask yourself this IMPACTFUL question: What value am I bringing to this conversation? Truly, this 5-second “Snicker's moment” might be the difference between: A misunderstanding or clearly communicated action steps; A disengaged, unmotivated employee or an engaged, motivated employee; A missed opportunity to listen or a new idea that will save your company thousands of dollars (or more!); Giving the impression the person(s) on the other side of the conversation are just part of a machine, or showing them their value and your appreciation of it.  Again, ask yourself, “What value am I bringing to this conversation?” And before you tell yourself, “I got this!” maybe you want to slow down and consider what questions you can ask to learn… instead of what items you want to tell. If you're serious about building a competitive edge over your competition, you'll need a system that ensures the right conversations are happening between managers and employees. Because… Conversations create clarity.  Clarity produces action.  Action drives results.  If you want to learn more about how to guarantee the right conversations are happening in your company, I invite you to pick up the phone and call me directly at 319-929-2604 for a free, no obligation conversation. I'm James Mayhew and I'll catch you next time on LTV. 

When you want engaged employees, but you only focus on metrics, you're missing hundreds of opportunities through the course of the year to actually cause higher engagement.  Hey, Team welcome back to Lead Thru Values. This podcast exists to help you ensure that every person on your team has the skills, knowledge and confidence to do their job exceptionally well. And today's podcast is a new, short form version that I'm calling Lessons From The Training Room, where I share a powerful real-world leadership examples with you from my work with executives, business owners and managers. Many of you are very familiar… intimately familiar… with the term KPI. Key. Performance. Indicators. KPI's have been around for years and have been used to measure progress on a variety of business stats.  Closing ratios. Calls made. Efficiencies of all types. Revenue. Here's what I've found: Most managers focus only on the metrics. I'd like to offer you a new perspective on the acronym, KPI. In fact, I'd like to offer you 4 new variations that are focused on engagement. #1. Keep people informed. People want to know how they're doing.   James, you're at 127% of your quota for outbound calls. Keep up the good work! James, your hourly production is steady at 96% of goal, but your QC is 13% below goal. Be consistent and transparent with your reports and make sure the information is up to date and accurate. #2. Keep people interested. James, did you know that if you just close one more deal each week, you'll hit your target? Let me show you something…  The best leaders work with their team members to help them see where they need to improve. They're comfortable and skilled with setting expectations, providing helpful feedback in a timely manner, and they provide guidance with HOW to improve. #3. Keep people involved. If you want to deepen employee engagement, then be open to ideas and suggestions.  James, what are you seeing right now? What opportunities are we missing?  Seek ideas and suggestions by asking specific questions. And listen to learn, not respond.  #4. Keep people inspired. Even great people can get into a slump. James, you've missed your targets 3 of the last 4 weeks. How can I help you get back on track?  You can go 1 of 2 ways. Treat the person with dignity… or treat them like a replaceable part of your machine. Here are the 4 most powerful words you might ever say to another person:  I. Believe. In. You. Even the greatest athletes hit slumps. The best hitter in baseball goes 0 for 24. Or the basketball player with the 92% free throw percentage goes 2 for 7 in a pivotal loss.  People don't want to fail. They aren't trying to miss targets. They may be doing everything right, but they're just in a slump. And slump's have a way of ending in amazing ways. In each of these examples, if the conversation doesn't go past the first stage of keeping people informed, you're not leading.  Leading a team requires you to make time for teaching, encouraging, motivating and being a champion for when things are going well… and when they're not going well. You can focus on the metrics and keep missing opportunities, or you can go beyond the metrics and get to the real KPI's.  The choice is yours.  If you're serious about building a competitive edge over your competition, you'll need a system that ensures the right conversations are happening between managers and employees. Because… Conversations create clarity.  Clarity produces action.  Action drives results.  If you want to learn more about how to guarantee the right conversations are happening in your company, I invite you to pick up the phone and call me directly at 319-929-2604 for a free, no obligation conversation.

Have you ever had someone ask you for the outcomes that your company is counting on you to deliver in your job?Well that's a question I ask my clients.And you know what I've found?Most people really struggle to answer what seems to be a fairly straightforward question. I'm James Mayhew, americas chief culture officer,  and that's the topic for this episode of LTVHere's the background as to why this is such an important question for business leaders to be able to answer:When clients hire me they want to want to know how to consistently hit their targets.And they want to know that everyone is doing a high level of work on the most important things.And in working with a variety of business leaders I've found that these are consistent regardless of company size, tenure and title.So over the years I added processes that help get alignment around what it actually takes to accomplish that.It's built around the function of creating a performance agreement between a manager and employee.And it's one of the most vital things you'll ever do to create clarity and instill a sense of confidence and achievement.  The performance agreement process I use consists of three key parts, but the one I want to focus on today are defining your primary job responsibilities. Your PJRs.And that brings us back to the question of the day:  what outcomes the business is counting on you to deliver. When I dive in, the first responses I get are things like managing the day to day, ensuring we stay profitable, set the direction, delegating work, and so on. And those are true, but what we need to get to are the things that are beyond the day to day activities of the job description. By the way, most job descriptions I see posted are a disaster. They're written with excess corporate gobbledygook, that no one can really be held accountable to.That's a different topic for a different day, but this is why people struggle to identify the outcomes that the business depends upon them for. They talk about what they do and how they do it, but not why behind it or what the impact is.I'd like to share an example with you using the top of safety to show you a great PJR.Let's imagine that you're a supervisor in a manufacturing environment.One of your primary job responsibilities is around creating a safe environment. Your job description would probably say something like ‘ensure all safety procedures are in place and everyone is trained in them.' Sounds ok, right? And that's what most people end up writing. And we don't really take it further than that to arrive at an outcome.So what are some of the outcomes of your responsibilities around safety?  If we lean into this further, we'll find some clues.Passing inspections. Avoiding citations. Making sure people are safe.And that last statement is where you can start to really dig into deeper. What does it actually mean to make sure people are safe? What I've found is this is the desired outcome:  At the end of the day we want our people to go home to their families in the same condition they started.And that's when you get to the heart of the PJR. It becomes bigger because we're now talking about valuing Becky, John and Sue as humans, not just parts of our business machine. It's powerful.  Remember that conversations creates clarity around things like primary job responsibilities.And having that clarity gives you confidence, permission and authority to take action on the most important work.And that's the hallmark of a high performance workplace.

Hey, team! Welcome back to Lead thru values.I am your host, James Mayhew and I help my clients create a high performance workplace by focusing on 3 key areas:improving how teams communicate and work together;creating a robust leadership pipeline with leaders who are ready to lead on day 1;and by helping them attract, develop and keep great people.And one of the ways I do that is with my leadership accelerator program, called XLR8.XLR8 gives new and emerging leaders — as well as veteran leaders — the essential skills and training that they'll need to lead their teams effectively.This is a very situational type of coaching for leaders to build confidence in themselves and others, to improve how they listen and communicate, as well as gain the respect and trust of their teams. If you'd like to learn how to register for the next open session – or you're interested in bringing XLR8 to your company, I'd love to speak with you. You can learn more at my website, JamesMayhew.comToday I want to talk with you about how people's perceptions factor into conflict and some of the causes of conflict that sneak into our workplaces.Back in episode 34, I talked with you about the devastating costs of unresolved conflict. So if you haven't had a chance to listen to that episode, be sure to go back and check that one out.Today we're going to continue discussing unresolved conflict, specifically focusing on how our behavior styles might actually magnify conflict as we think we're working toward a resolution.Let's start with this realization.9 out of 10 times, conflict between two people starts with a difference of priorities.We have to understand that some people are very task oriented while others are very people oriented.So a task oriented individual tends to view conflict as a task to be resolved. to them it's a necessary step for growth to happen.They approach it as an action item - something on their list of ‘to-do's. That doesn't mean they won't be uncomfortable and they may not look forward to it but instead of putting it off, they're more likely to address itThe task oriented person believes it's necessary for growth to happen.But for others who are more people oriented - which is actually about 2/3 of all people,they tend to see conflict as a broken relationship that needs repaired.This puts them in a different mindset about how to approach it.don't miss thisyou will not offend a task-oriented person by treating them like a person, like a valued relationship.But.. it's very likely you will offend a people-oriented person when you treat them like a task.Here's four common ways that people view conflict through the lens of their own behavior style:the fast paced, task oriented person sees conflict as a challenge. something to be conquered. in some cases they even find it energizing.the fast-paced, people oriented person sees conflict as a roller coaster of emotions. Depending on how it goes, they may never feel the same about that person.The slow paced, people oriented person wants to avoid conflict at all costs. They don't stand up for themselves well. Opposite of the first type, they find it draining.the slow paced, task-oriented individual takes the position that they're right. period. I'm right. you're wrong. So understanding your own pace and your priority is imperative.

Maintain Company Culture - Checklist for Check-in's  INTERVIEW with James Mayhew who is a business coach dedicated to building high performing teams through culture and leadership. 

Working with new and emerging leaders requires patience and humility and a healthy dose of self reflection. My name is James Mayhew, YOUR chief culture officer, and that’s the topic for this Jam Session.The other day while working with a small group of new leaders, I was reminded of the importance of our language and communication styles. We began our session with a recap of how their week had gone. One of the things we’re working on is communicating the company’s core values to their teams as the new standard for what great performance looks like. One of them relayed parts of a conversation they had with a particularly challenging employee. “These aren’t going away and ‘they’ are making them a big deal.”I asked the manager a follow up question:"What did you mean by 'they?'""You are part of the group that created these!"I smiled. The manager smiled...The message was received. It’s not theirs... it’s ours. That's why that it's so important to be patient with new leaders. To coach them. Encourage them. Support them. Challenge them. Lead them. And show them how to take ownership for the culture of their team. Do you remember how it was when you were new to leadership?You were probably confident and had been preparing yourself for a while.But the first few times you had to have a hard conversation or make a difficult decision, it was awkward. And in an effort to make it easier, you positioned yourself below your leadership level to relate to them...“They want this, so we just have to do it.” (referring to the senior leadership or business owner)I know that situation because I DID IT. And I’m guessing you can relate.But whatever ground I thought I had gained with the team I later learned was actually a back slide. I failed at that part of leadership because I hadn’t taken ownership. That’s why it’s imperative to create a culture of coaching within your company. Be patient with new leaders, but not passive. Have a sense of urgency for their development but without rushing it. And instill a sense of confidence that’s covered by humility. That’s a winning formula.

Most businesses haven’t fully tapped into how their culture actually helps them gain a competitive edge and close more business.My name is James Mayhew, YOUR chief culture officer, and that’s the topic for this Jam Session.Make no mistake, your organizational culture drives revenue and profitability for your business.But very few companies have figured out how culture actually helps them sell better, deliver a better product and experience, and ultimately win more customers.Good business invest in the resources, tools and equipment to do the job well. They’ll work on product and sales training, competitive pricing and driving traffic to their stores or websites.But often they miss one key ingredient: creating a culture of excellence and developing people.Companies that are excelling in 2020 are going all in on coaching up people.They’re investing in things like essential skills training, how to give and receive feedback They’re teaching their people to identify emerging leaders and providing ways to mentor themThey’re focused on extracting potential instead of trying to managing peopleSee your culture is all about performance — it’s the driver of your performance.It works for you by attracting more great people to your teamDevelops those great people into rock starsyour culture becomes your standard for how you approach work, make decisions and share informationAnd it organically teaches and trains those standards on an ongoing and frequent basisIn business it’s easy and even ordinary to talk about “great customer service”And as a leader in their industry, they know it’s uncommon — even extraordinary — wen you can consistently deliver an outstanding employee experience. And I promise you this, it will drive sales and boost your bottom line.

Your culture drives everything you do;- what you do- why you do it- and how you do itIt communicates exactly what you can expect anytime that you do business with us.A select few businesses have mastered it and they continue to thrive in a year where most are just trying to survive.So what do they do better? My name is James Mayhew, and I’m YOUR chief culture officer, and that’s the topic for this Jam Session.There’s a meme going around social media that says,Whoever came up with the Chick-Fil-A drive-thru processshould be in charge of the government,hospitals, andthe DMV.I say amen to that! They’ve gone all-in on differentiating from their competition by creating a culture of serving others.They have a value that reads “We pursue what’s next” and they’ve defined it by saying “we find energy in adapting and reinventing how we do things, from the way we work to how we care for others.”That means that even though there’s 20 cars lined up in their drive thru, they’ll get you through timely, accurately and stress free.They bring their team outside - closer to the customer - because that helps eliminate the bottlenecks at the window.They are well trained on the menu options.They smile.And, when you say thank you to them, they reply with My Pleasure.They’ve adapted to 2020 and as a result, in my hometown, they’re thriving.I was craving a good burger a couple of weeks ago;But when I saw the line at my favorite burger joint NOT moving, it was an easy decision to head on over to CFA.I was #11 in line and was served and on my way in less than 7 minutes. I timed them.As I watched the staff work, there was Hustle. Smiles. Organization. Teamwork.This is how what it means to live out your values: because the CFA culture prioritizes, trains and creates a system for serving others firstThat’s a competitive advantage that their competitors cannot duplicate.
