Podcasts about leadership culture

What does modern leadership actually require—and why do toxic leaders continue to rise, even in companies that claim to value culture?In this episode of the Spartan Leadership Podcast, Josh Kosnick sits down with Lyndsay Dowd—former IBM executive, Harvard guest lecturer, bestselling author, and founder of Heartbeat for Hire—for a raw, honest conversation about leadership, power, burnout, and reinvention at any age.Lyndsay shares her personal leadership journey, the moment she was fired after 23 years in corporate leadership, and why that experience became the catalyst for building heart-led, high-performance cultures. Together, Josh and Lyndsay explore why top performers don't always make great leaders, how burnout is often a signal—not a weakness—and why leading with heart isn't soft, it's strategic.This episode is for leaders who are tired of performative culture talk and want leadership that actually works.Topics covered: • Why toxic leadership keeps getting rewarded • Power vs. responsibility in leadership • Reinventing yourself at any stage of life • Separating identity from title and performance • Burnout, trust, and psychological safety • What heart-led leadership really looks like in practice

It all comes back to the DNA.The firms that know who they are will know who to be.You can learn a lot about an investment firm by listening to what they say.Alt Goes Mainstream's AGM Originals Series - The DNA: Capturing Culture - is dedicated to capturing the DNA of a firm by listening to what they say.The first season of The DNA stars EQT. In Stockholm, at EQT's AIM this past summer, I sat down for conversations with nine EQT executives.Each executive came from different parts of the firm — and different parts of the world.Each had fascinating backgrounds and stories about how they ended up in private markets and worked to build EQT.But there was a single throughline threaded throughout all of the discussions: the consistency and frequency that each executive talked about the firm's mission, vision, culture, and values.That's why it all comes back to the DNA.Episode 2 features EQT's Jean Eric Salata.Jean Eric Salata is the Chairperson EQT Asia and Head of Private Capital Asia. Jean started the regional Asian private equity investment program for UK-based Baring Private Equity Partners Ltd in 1997 and later led the management buyout of this program in 2000 to establish BPEA as an independent Firm. He has since been responsible for the investment activity of BPEA until 2022, when the company joined forces with EQT and was renamed BPEA EQT.Prior to BPEA, Jean was a Director of Hong Kong-based AIG Global Investment Corporation (Asia) Ltd., the Asian private equity investment arm of AIG. Prior to that, Jean was the Executive Vice President of Finance of Shiu Wing Steel, a Hong Kong-based industrial concern, and prior to that a management consultant with Bain & Company based in Hong Kong, Sydney, and Boston.Jean holds a B.S. (Hons) in Finance and Economics from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated magna cum laude.Please enjoy this conversation with one of the industry's leaders in Jean Eric Salata.You can stream all the episodes on AGM's YouTube channel at AltGoesMainstreamAGM.Show Notes00:00 Introduction: The DNA of Firms00:34 Conversations with EQT Executives01:05 Jean Salata: Chairperson of EQT Asia01:32 Jean's Early Life and Career02:26 Journey to Asia03:28 Cultural Comparisons and Private Equity04:45 The Asian Private Equity Market05:09 Structural Alpha in Asia06:12 Shareholder Activism in Japan06:45 Liquidity in Indian Stock Market08:10 Evolution of BPEA's Strategy10:16 Challenges and Opportunities in Asia11:42 EQT's Partnership and Culture12:04 Building a Lasting Enterprise13:23 Industry Consolidation Trends14:54 Growth Opportunities in Asia15:24 Rebalancing Capital to Asia16:07 Underpenetration in Private Equity18:17 Family Businesses and Generational Change18:46 Wallenberg Heritage and EQT's Reputation20:02 Long-term Growth in Asia20:50 Mid-Market Growth Fund21:21 Exit Market in Asia23:01 Perceived vs. Actual Risk in Asia23:49 Thematic Investing and Value Creation24:32 Alpha in Asian Markets25:35 Intellectual Stimulation in Asia26:44 Leadership and Continuous Learning28:38 Motivation and Career Development31:12 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Is the ideal of priesthood stuck in the past? I love the saints—especially guys like St. John Vianney—but trying to imitate their circumstances can leave today's priests feeling defeated before they even begin. In this episode, Fr. Scott Traynor and I get honest about how different our world is now, and why that's not a problem to mourn but a mission to embrace. We talk about the heart of priesthood today: prayer, the sacraments, and investing deeply in a few people who can carry the Gospel into a culture that's drifting away from Christ. And here's the hope: renewal isn't about going backward. It's about priests doing what only they can do—celebrate, preach, shepherd—and unleashing the laity to live their mission with confidence. If you've ever felt the weight of expectations you can't live up to or wondered whether your parish can actually flourish in a secular age, this conversation will help you imagine a future filled with purpose and hope. 01:21 Meet Father Scott Traynor 04:34 The Legacy of St. John Vianney 10:51 Historical Context of Parish Life 21:25 Modern Parish Challenges and Solutions 31:49 The Role of the Parish Priest 37:07 The Power of Relationships in Evangelization 48:36 Building a Leadership Culture in Parishes 51:20 The Transmission of Faith in Parish Life 56:18 Practical Steps to Start Evangelizing 59:18 Final Thoughts and Encouragement Books mentioned in this podcast: * From Christendom to Apostolic Mission (https://www.amazon.com/Christendom-Apostolic-Mission-Pastoral-Strategies/dp/099887289X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2E2L8F8IOB42N&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.XqKmGIzYvYr-zvy0QndfgnMKCsZRmHDUNoxT0QFQ1VKN8K-x4U9-23N6FKaINctQRdcJ2Y-KVB1n9q_-02RXaQFu3JKj_D2UaFMsXio5iL8qHcWIkExs8O_RQWN2GNqJJz39d74ZuQZwV1PwrBCRnr1SVysF2YUXsfjFOua3ItA.pmztDhf-W2Kl7B86unRBY7RHm47SOnfQrSvoQv_tpHQ&dib_tag=se&keywords=christendom+to+apostolic+mission&qid=1761847022&sprefix=christendo%2Caps%2C128&sr=8-1) * The Advantage (https://www.amazon.com/Advantage-Organizational-Health-Everything-Business/dp/0470941529/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3LV5AYGA5BPB9&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pPRUd5gbTy8ZS0gf6wabwlOFgACN0bQpmLwoTMrIGmSTxCYoPY0FjrfPBh7aQszRjXrnAKRFtbcIpW1JsaWGItGIeOK3Av_DAj8r_SozPM-ObY_W38owgx6dxP1T2hRY9ii4K1ROXgI8mCVsA1Lut0j8Cc4rihJCQbZElVqY7QDmHdcIT5Uv5OV2Z4t25hb4XfBPUeKbBrlsKU9ypcRgYcxgqCBNHlBWm5z0CuFe63Q.uOxeU74PuOLrlcqUskPl52pIBpNgGtBEvA_pam_L1ns&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+advantage&qid=1761846981&sprefix=the+advantage%2Caps%2C132&sr=8-1) * The Parish as a School of Prayer (https://www.amazon.com/Parish-School-Prayer-Foundations-Evangelization/dp/0984379290/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xjrcQDgEMBWlxKjai4BRe8shADNgx-7FbNGjGs3CLz6nrw22ye0_9Nd70NsI2Rlx21YZOMT3aA1ZW2-z7UtEr2CTvs364_wDKSyhYxJ6m-WC-OPad6HSoln9JoNy6DJQEVz48d0Ahi3gne4nixa6FNY3UnNog9KOYdaTgHm70rEvTZPzbvwaZBOcqrM6uF7HhEWNOKfX0n8N4F0W-DP1mQ.PrK21-PNy3S5lKIt-Iz0KFRarRz4CyIT9M1NJmkB7rw&dib_tag=se&hvadid=598657698172&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9189219&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=11773289655691973530--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=11773289655691973530&hvtargid=kwd-310940649083&hydadcr=8293_13544394&keywords=the+parish+as+a+school+of+prayer&mcid=b50e44803f3a31b880115cd37b4215b7&qid=1761846939&sr=8-1) For more practical advice and experiences from real people sharing their mission with the world, go to https://equip.archomaha.org/podcast/.

In this episode of Lead With That, Ren and Allison discuss how organizations can shift from crisis reaction to collective sustainable adaptability in today's turbulent climate. The biggest challenge many leaders face is leading organizations through complex crisis and chaotic disruption. Whether faced with adapting to ever-changing circumstances, or the fallout from economic instability, leaders are juggling challenges that reactive behaviors and process pivots are unable to simply resolve. To ensure long-term success, organizations must rethink adaptability itself and adjust their leadership to address the needs of the future.  Read our insights on how organizations can shift their organization's culture, individual capacities, and collective capabilities to thrive amid disruption.    What to Explore Next:  Reinvention Through Disruption: Moving From Perpetual Crisis to Collective Adaptability - https://www.ccl.org/guides/perpetual-crisis-leadership-in-disruption/  Vertical vs. Horizontal Development - https://www.ccl.org/articles/leading-effectively-articles/developing-talent-youre-probably-missing-vertical-development/  Can You Identify Your Organization's Leadership Culture? - https://www.ccl.org/articles/leading-effectively-articles/whats-your-leadership-culture/     Related Solutions:  Leading Through Uncertainty- https://www.ccl.org/leadership-challenges/leadership-through-uncertainty/  Strategic Thinking Training for Leaders- https://www.ccl.org/leadership-solutions/leadership-topics/thinking-acting-strategically/   Organizational Culture- https://www.ccl.org/leadership-challenges/organizational-culture/  

What happens when the leader starts breaking down? In this episode, we peel back the curtain on personal struggles—how they affect your leadership, your vibe, and the people depending on you.We and Quan get real about burnout, pressure, therapy, and knowing when to walk away—from jobs, relationships, or even your own circle. It's a deep convo about growth, ego, and peace… all wrapped in sports breakdowns, fatherhood gems, and culture-shifting truths.We're stepping into a new season of Infamously Speaking. Less box scores, more life. Sports still lives here, but now it's the lens, not the limit.If you're a leader, a dad, a teammate, or someone fighting to stay grounded while leveling up — this one's for you.

This week's episode comes to you straight from the breathtaking mountains of Whitefish, Montana, where our recent Annual IMPACT Retreat reached an entirely new level of inspiration, depth, and energy. The room was electric, the ambience was inspiring, and the conversations were powerful. And today, I've got something incredibly special for you — a LIVE interview with one of my closest friends and one of the brightest minds in all of professional sports, Chris Young, better known as "CY." Chris isn't just the President of the Texas Rangers — he's a Princeton graduate, a 17- year professional baseball veteran, a Major League All-Star, and a World Series champion both as a player and as an executive. But beyond the titles, CY is one of the most thoughtful, grounded, humble, and high-performing leaders I know. I trained him for more than a decade through the ups, the downs, the injuries, the comebacks, and the championship moments. We've shared thousands of hours in the gym, countless conversations about mindset, family, excellence, adversity, and purpose… and to bring him to Whitefish this year was truly special. In this candid, emotional, and wisdom-filled conversation, CY opens up about his journey from Princeton to the Big Leagues to leading a world-class MLB organization. He talks about culture, leadership, adversity, mindset, fatherhood, and the exact values that have shaped his life and the Texas Rangers clubhouse. If you're a business owner, parent, athlete, coach, sports fan, or anyone striving to be a better leader, this episode is going to speak directly to your soul. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The core values CY built the Rangers organization around and how YOU can apply them to your team, business, or family. How to eliminate toxicity, reinforce standards, and lead people with clarity and accountability. Why baseball — and life — is a game of failure, and how resilience and self-belief can change everything. Powerful stories from CY's playing days, including injuries, comebacks, competition, and even a Major League brawl (This was funny!). Why your environment, your training partners, and your inner circle matter more than you think. CY's most emotional moment in baseball and the story of pitching the day after his father passed. Lessons on fatherhood, youth sports, and raising confident, grounded kids. How to create an environment where people outperform expectations and realize their dreams. WOW-o-WOW…Chris Young is the real deal—heart, humility, hunger, discipline, and leadership at the highest level. He's one of the rare ones, and I'm truly blessed to call him a friend. As you listen to this conversation, please take a moment to reflect on your own journey. Where can you elevate your leadership? Where can you strengthen your standards, sharpen your fundamentals, and get your mind right even more? This episode is pure jet fuel for the soul and a powerful reminder of what's possible when you lead with deep passion and purpose. If this episode moved you, inspired you, or fired you up, please share it with a teammate, a colleague, a fellow parent, or anyone who could use a dose of championship-level wisdom today.

End chaos in your firm—300+ peers use this framework. Free video here: https://www.businessofarchitecture.com/framework Architect Nation, this episode tackles the silent killer in many firms: weak accountability. Enoch and Rion reveal how polite habits and fear of conflict drain authority, profit, and joy. You'll hear why "safety" and "fierce compassion" can live in the same room. Through real stories, they show what happens when leaders avoid hard talks—or explode instead. You'll learn how language choices signal ownership, and why clients sense wobble long before you do. The result: missed deadlines, shrinking margins, and the "supplier" label. Then they point to a better way. A simple conversation frame, a different stance on responsibility, and a mindset that turns collision into creation. The payoffs touch culture, fees, and speed of execution. The two-word shift that changes everything with staff and clients. A ruthless-yet-loving move that ends chronic deadline drift. The profit leak hiding in your "nice" culture (and how leaders plug it).

Tim leads one of Melbourne’s most distinctive schools, a striking campus inspired by the maritime character of Port Melbourne. From shipping containers to cruise-liner flair, the design mirrors a philosophy that values innovation, inclusivity, and connection. Throughout the conversation, Tim shares insights on leading with purpose amid rapid educational change and how culture and positivity drive effective teams.

The discussion turns to hands-on, real-world learning; from boat restoration projects to partnerships with community mentors at the local Men’s Shed. These programs help students discover confidence and purpose beyond the classroom while fostering intergenerational learning. Tim also reflects on how schools can stay visionary within regulatory frameworks, finding their “true north” by always asking what’s best for students. From navigating funding and growth at Fishermans Bend to building pathways for vocational and inclusive education, Tim highlights how adaptability and collaboration future-proof modern schools. The conversation closes with his vision for graduates who feel supported, inspired, and ready to lead others with empathy and curiosity. This episode offers practical inspiration for educators, school leaders, and policymakers seeking to balance innovation with community connection in Australian education.

When your values aren't clear, it's easy to chase the wrong deals, hire the wrong people, and build a life and business that drains you.Today, I sit down with Robert Glazer—entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder of Acceleration Partners—to explore how defining your personal core values can transform the way you lead, invest, and live.Robert built a $35M global company serving brands like Airbnb, Uber, and Adidas, but his greatest success came from understanding what he valued most, and aligning every decision around it.In his new book, The Compass Within, Robert reveals how your personal core values act as a decision-making compass for both business and life. We unpack how to use that same framework to hire the right people, choose the right investors, and build a life of freedom that truly aligns with who you are.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) Why really company culture starts with core values — and how defining what you stand for (and what you don't) helps you attract the right people and repel the wrong ones.2.) What Robert learned from his own private-equity exit—how he structured the deal, picked the right partner, and avoided the mistakes most founders make.3.) How your personal values can help you invest smarter—filtering founders, partners, and deals that align with your principles, not just your profit goals.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/260Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

In this episode, Carl is joined by partner and friend Kevin Gillespie to unpack the hidden power of leadership culture and why it becomes the backbone of a team that scales with confidence.

Kevin walks through building a simple responsibility chart and high level workflow with measurable standards, then keeping everyone on track with a steady meeting cadence and real dashboards that act like a pilot's instrument panel.

When leaders fuse role with identity, misalignment leaks into culture. Discover how ILR separates role from identity so you can lead with clarity, trust, and peace.Leadership is heavy when your identity is fused with your role. Every mistake feels like a threat to your worth. Every conflict feels personal. Every decision is weighed down by the fear of being exposed. And it doesn't stay contained — it leaks into your team, creating misalignment, mistrust, and burnout.In today's episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly shows why misaligned leaders create misaligned teams — and how recalibration shifts leadership from pressure to presence. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and the story of Howard Thurman's influence on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., this episode unpacks:Why identity-fused leadership creates fragile cultures where teams walk on eggshellsThe toll of “always on” leadership on your nervous system and your healthWhy therapy helps you understand and coaching helps you manage — but ILR releases role-driven leadership at the rootHow Howard Thurman's faith-rooted identity shaped a generation of leaders without chasing titlesA practical test to know if you're leading from identity or just sustaining a roleToday's Micro Recalibration: Ask yourself: Am I leading from clarity of identity or from a role I'm trying to sustain? Notice where leadership feels heavy — that weight is often the signal that role and identity have fused.If leadership has ever felt like it's costing you yourself, this episode will help you step out of pressure and into presence — leading with clarity, stability, and peace.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more This episode is available in Spanish - click hereWatch the full video on YouTube - click hereTony Trecapelli's career in automotive began at Saturn, where he saw firsthand what a people-centered culture could look like. Employees were trusted, collaboration was encouraged, and leaders treated the workforce as partners. That environment shaped his perspective early on. When he later moved into GM, the environment felt very different. Decisions came from the top, and people were expected to follow orders without question. Seeing both sides of the industry gave Tony a clear choice about the kind of leader he wanted to be. Instead of command and control, he committed to leading through coaching and support.Now, as President and CEO of Gemini Group, Tony applies those lessons every day. He talks about creating a workplace where people can try, make mistakes, and learn without fear of punishment. In his view, that's how resilience is built — not by avoiding risk, but by facing challenges and adapting together.Tony also reflects on Gemini's small-town Michigan roots. It's a place where people know each other, relationships matter, and the company works hard to keep that spirit alive even as it operates globally. He describes how those values influence daily decisions and help steady the organization in an unpredictable industry.The conversation turns to the realities of being a tier two supplier. Tony shares how tariffs, EV and hybrid transitions, and global competition create constant uncertainty. Instead of pretending to have all the answers, he focuses on being transparent and open with his team, making sure they understand the challenges and feel connected to the bigger mission.Tony also opens up on a more personal level. He talks about what fuels his drive as a leader, the routines that set the tone for his day, and the ways he steps back to recharge outside of work.The episode closes with a live audience Q&A, giving Tony the chance to respond directly to questions about Gemini's future, his leadership style, and the lessons that shaped him. What listeners get from this conversation is more than a story about one leader's journey; it's an honest look at leadership in automotive today. Tony's message is straightforward: leadership is about people first, and culture is what carries a company through change.Themes discussed in this episode:The leadership lessons Tony Trecapelli carried from Saturn's collaborative culture into his careerThe difference between servant leadership and command-and-control styles in automotive organizationsWhy Tony leads Gemini Group with a coaching mindset that encourages growth through mistakesThe daily realities and challenges tier two suppliers face in a volatile automotive supply chainThe impact of tariffs, EV transitions, and political uncertainty on business decisions for suppliersThe role of mentors, personal habits, and values in shaping Tony's leadership approachWhy transparency and clear communication are essential for building trust during times of changeFeatured guest: Tony Trecapelli What he does: Anthony A.

If your team feels misaligned, it's not a hiring issue — it's an identity gap. This episode exposes the root of cultural breakdowns and offers a soul-level recalibration for leaders chasing clarity but leaking confusion.You've optimized the systems. Rewrote the roles. Hired the consultants. But your team still feels misaligned — and you're quietly wondering why nothing sticks.In this episode of The Recalibration, we name the deeper truth: cultural breakdowns don't begin with your team. They begin with you.When identity is misaligned, leadership clarity fades. And when clarity fades, teams falter — not because of incompetence, but because of confusion that trickled down from the top.Drawing on neuroscience (neuroception), psychology (cognitive dissonance), and soul-level truth, Julie unpacks why strategy alone can't solve an identity-level problem. You'll hear how internal incongruence creates external fragmentation — and how realignment within a leader becomes the compass for the culture.Key Takeaways:Why “you don't attract what you preach — you attract what you embody”How leadership pressure often replaces purposeWhy your internal “why” is ineffective without a rooted “who”What neuroscience and psychology reveal about incongruent leadershipThe real reason your culture feels disconnected — and how to recalibrateToday's Micro Recalibration:“Where am I expecting cultural outcomes I haven't embodied?”Team Recalibration Prompt:“Here's what I've recently clarified about our direction — and here's where I noticed I hadn't been clear. I want us to recalibrate together. What's one thing you need from me to move forward with greater clarity and trust?”Whether you're a founder, creative, or leader quietly carrying the tension of team dysfunction — this episode gives you language, permission, and a pathway to lead from congruence.Linked Resources:#1 When Your Identity Outgrows Your Life: Success Isn't the ProblemIf this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.
