Podcasts about leadership culture

What if everything you've been taught about leadership is actually holding your team back? Join me as I sit down with Mike Abrashoff, former Navy commander and bestselling author of "It's Your Ship," who shattered traditional leadership paradigms by asking one simple question: "What do you think?" When Mike took command of USS Benfold, it was near the bottom of Navy performance metrics with an abysmal 8% retention rate. Through his revolutionary leadership approach of empowering his crew rather than controlling them, he transformed it into the best ship in the Navy—and his insights are even more crucial for today's executives than they were two decades ago.In this episode, you will be able to:Learn how to create a culture of ownership where team members step up and drive performance without micromanagementDiscover how to break free from command-and-control leadership that drives away top talent in today's workplaceUncover the counterintuitive strategy that allowed Mike to reduce his workload by 70% while dramatically improving performanceMike's profound wisdom about "excellence without arrogance" offers exactly what today's leaders need—connect with me on LinkedIn or subscribe to my Power Presence Academy newsletter for more insights on leading with less ego and more soul.Grab all the links and resources mentioned in this episode HERE.More About Mike Abrashoff Mike Abrashoff is at the center of one of the most remarkable modern day stories of organizational transformation.  At 36, he was selected to be Commander of USS Benfold and was the most junior commanding officer in the Pacific fleet.   The challenges of this underachieving destroyer were staggering, with low morale and the highest turnover rate in the Navy.  Few thought the ship could improve. Yet 12 months later it was ranked #1 in performance -- using the same crew.  How did Mike do it?  By replacing command and control leadership with commitment and cohesion. The lesson was clear:  Leadership matters and culture is everything. Since leaving the Navy, Mike has worked with over 1200 organizations instilling leadership initiatives at every level – achieving phenomenal change in unexpected places.  Leaders especially identify with Mike being accountable for results in an environment where he couldn't make the rules.  He focused on the one thing he could influence: his crew's attitude, because culture is the ultimate competitive weapon for any organization.  That's why Wall Street Journal, Fast Company and others have cited Mike's story.  It's also why Mike is so popular with such a wide rangeConnect with Janet Ioli:Website: janetioli.comLinkedin: Janet IoliInstagram: @janetioliJanet is the founder of Leadership Presence.

Neil shares his journey from chasing financial success to prioritising purpose after realising material achievements left him unfulfilled. He introduces his Relationship Paradigm, a framework identifying six elements for thriving relationships: communication, connection, commitment, fun, growth, and trust. These principles apply equally to personal and professional dynamics, with Neil emphasising that relationships shape organisational culture, which drives sustainable success. Andy and Neil discuss overcoming communication breakdowns through clarity and active listening, balancing authenticity with positivity as a leader, and nurturing trust through vulnerability and conflict resolution. Neil also addresses challenges in virtual environments like Zoom, advocating for phone calls to deepen connection. He stresses the importance of intentionally nurturing relationships—both personal and professional—to avoid stagnation and build mutual growth. Key Takeaways: 1. Relationships > Metrics: True success stems from meaningful connections, not just financial or material gains. 2. Communication Clarity: Misunderstandings often derail relationships; always confirm mutual understanding. 3. Trust as Foundation: Trust is built through commitment, transparency, and resolving conflicts constructively. 4. Intentional Growth: Relationships require regular check-ins and adaptation to evolve positively. 5.

In this insightful episode of Training Unleashed, host Evan Hackel is joined by Brett Hoogeveen, Co-Founder of BetterCulture, to discuss one of the most critical elements of organizational success: company culture. Together, Evan and Brett explore why “culture eats strategy for breakfast,” how employee engagement drives customer satisfaction, and the pivotal role leadership plays in building a healthy workplace environment. Brett breaks down the five strategic pillars of culture transformation from executive buy-in to frontline empowerment and offers practical steps for creating workplaces where people thrive. Key Topics Discussed: Culture Drives Results: A strong workplace culture leads to higher employee engagement, better customer satisfaction, and improved business performance. Define Culture Intentionally: Every company has a culture - successful ones design and nurture it rather than letting it happen by default. Start with Leadership: Culture change begins at the top. Executive teams must align on cultural goals and model the behaviors they want to see. Measure What Matters: Tools like employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) and culture surveys provide a baseline and guide ongoing improvement. Don't Ignore the Impact of One: A high-performing employee who undermines culture can drag down the whole team - coaching, restructuring, or letting go may be necessary. Equip Managers to Lead Culture: Most managers struggle with giving feedback on soft skills - organizations must train and support them to lead culture conversations confidently.

In this episode, my guest is Andrew Leikvoll, a leadership coach based in west central Minnesota. Andrew is part of the team at Triune Leadership Serves, a coaching and consulting organization based entirely around servant leadership. We discuss what is at the heart of servant leadership and why the culture of leading with love accounts for the tendency of servant-led organizations to outperform and thrive in the long run. We talk about how micromanaging is robbing the next generation of their innovative energy, and why being able to clearly articulate your business (not your personal) purpose, vision, and values, is crucial in your ability to show people why their role matters and how it may (or may not be) aligned with the overarching purpose of the business.

In 2009 Netflix caused a huge stir in the HR and tech worlds with their 125 page slide deck that set out a new way of leading people. Whilst many companies have now adopted their concepts such as ‘freedom with accountability', the rejection of the idea that businesses are a family, and the so-called Keeper Test, Netflix were the first major corporation to introduce them. In this episode, Kenny Temowo, a senior member of the Leadership Culture & Talent Development team at Netflix, describes the on-going impact of these pioneering principles.  Kenny describes the role of creativity within organizational culture and the importance of an environment that encourages risk-taking and playfulness. We look at how to combine alignment with company-wide approaches with meeting the needs of local teams. And we explore Netflix's distinctive leadership seminars, which foster leadership excellence through engaging stories, poetry, and articles. This approach encourages leaders to navigate real-world challenges without traditional learning objectives, creating an immersive experience that empowers leaders to find solutions collectively.  As an added bonus, we discuss our shared love for British Blue Shorthair cats!

The rapid rise of generative AI is compelling organizations to adapt their working methods, decision-making, and collaboration. Leaders face challenges such as redefining workforce roles, ensuring ethical AI practices, and managing cross-functional teams that understand AI's business and technological aspects. Yet, these challenges also offer significant opportunities for streamlined workflows, enhanced innovation, and new avenues for employee growth. To navigate this changing landscape, leaders must play a pivotal role in reshaping organizational structures to empower agile decision-making while maintaining strategic alignment. They should create a culture that motivates employees to upskill and actively engage with AI-driven processes. Moreover, they must develop governance models that address the ethical and societal impacts of GenAI solutions. So, how can they reorganize structures to foster agility without compromising strategic goals? How can a culture of upskilling and innovation be built around AI-driven processes? What governance strategies can ensure ethical and responsible AI adoption?

Beyond the Hammer: A Fresh Approach to Leadership, Culture, and Building High Performance Teams by Brian Gottlieb https://amzn.to/3BjCRnp Briangottlieb.com “Brian's book inspires both successful individuals and future entrepreneurs, urging them to embrace challenges and pursue growth.” – Wolfgang Puck Employees that don't take ownership of their work Friction between departments Inconsistent results These are the top challenges that face most businesses today.

Over time, the very nature of the business changes and a new culture emerges; one shaped by the lowest level of acceptable behavior. Beyond the Hammer approaches these concerns in two highly engaging sections: First, a fictional story of George, a business owner struggling with burnt out employees, high turnover, and frustrated customers. Readers follow George as he discovers five foundational pillars of leadership that have the power to build teams that perform at a high level, consistently. The second section shifts from storytelling to strategy, providing an actionable path to weaving these 5 pillars into any business, enabling leaders to integrate these principles into their daily operations seamlessly. Written for managers and leaders alike, Beyond the Hammer offers a simple yet powerful approach to creating a team where everyone is aligned, and properly positioned to win.
