Podcasts about nine lies about work

In this insightful episode, Dustin Burleson interviews Ashley Goodall, author of The Problem with Change and co-author of Nine Lies About Work. They explore the pitfalls of constant organizational change and its negative impact on human performance, uncovering practical strategies to create stability and empower teams. Ashley draws from decades of experience at Cisco and Deloitte to offer a fresh perspective on leadership, team culture, and performance management.Ashley doesn't hold back as he explains how organizations often confuse improvement with change, assuming that one naturally leads to the other. He points out how relentless transformations—whether they're mergers, reorgs, or new systems—disrupt employees' sense of certainty, control, and belonging. These disruptions can leave people feeling untethered, like they're just waiting for the next upheaval to arrive. It's no wonder, he notes, that employees often roll their eyes when leaders announce, “We're so excited about this new change!”Dustin then steers the conversation toward solutions, exploring why teams—not companies—are the real heart of an organization. Ashley explains that while it's easy to talk about “company culture,” the truth is, culture happens on a much smaller scale. It's in the teams where people feel connected, supported, and motivated—or not. He makes a compelling case for investing in team leaders, those unsung heroes who create environments where employees can do their best work.The two also dig into Ashley's innovative approach to performance management, which he implemented at Deloitte and Cisco. Instead of the usual annual reviews that focus on ratings and past performance, Ashley championed a weekly check-in system. This simple yet powerful shift helps employees get the guidance and support they need in real time, not six months too late. Dustin marvels at how such a small change can have such a big impact, strengthening engagement, performance, and trust within teams.Toward the end, the discussion takes a broader view. Ashley emphasizes the importance of giving employees “running room”—a term borrowed from Bob Woodward—that speaks to the space and trust leaders can provide. It's not about micromanaging or constant prodding; it's about creating an environment where employees feel empowered to do their best work. For Ashley, this starts with treating employees as human beings, not just numbers on a spreadsheet. Dustin wholeheartedly agrees, sharing how these insights can help leaders rethink their approach to change and performance in their own organizations. Practical Takeaways:Rethink the frequency and necessity of organizational change initiatives.Prioritize team-level culture and equip leaders to create supportive environments.Adopt weekly "check-ins" as a transformative tool for performance management.Evaluate change initiatives for their balance of pros and cons to avoid unnecessary disruption.Links:Learn more about Ashley GoodallGet your copy of The Problem with ChangeGet your copy of Nine Lies About Work***The Burleson Box is brought to you by Stax Payments:Save Big on Transaction Fees: Boost Your Bottom Line with Stax Payments.Did you know that your practice can start saving thousands of dollars on your monthly processing costs with our preferred payments partner, Stax?

Welcome to an interview with the author of The Problem with Change: And the Essential Nature of Human Performance, Ashley Goodall. Drawing on two decades spent leading HR organizations at Deloitte and Cisco, Ashley Goodall reveals in his book why change is not the same as improvement, and how, by prioritizing team cohesion (instead of reshuffling teams at will), by using real words (rather than corporate-speak), by sharing secrets (not mission statements), by fixing only the things that are truly broken (instead of moving fast and breaking everything in sight, and more, leaders at every level can create the stability that people need to thrive.   Ashley Goodall is a leadership expert who has spent his career exploring large organizations from the inside, most recently as an executive at Cisco.

My guest today is Ashley Goodall, a leadership expert who has spent his career exploring large organizations from the inside, most recently as an executive at Cisco. He is the co-author of Nine Lies About Work, which was selected as the best management book of 2019 by Strategy + Business and as one of Amazon's best business and leadership books of 2019. It is an awesome book - highly recommended. If, after listening to this conversation you want to hear more (and I think you will!), take a listen to him and his co-author, Marcus Buckingham, talking on the HBR Idea Cast about lie #5 - the idea that people need feedback - and how most managers think about giving feedback in an utterly wrong way - which is also an idea we dive into later in our conversation today. Prior to Cisco, Ashley spent fourteen years at Deloitte as a consultant and as the Chief Learning Officer for Leadership and Professional development.  His book, "The Problem with Change: and the Essential Nature of Human Performance" is about what we might call lie number 10: the idea that change is good and that leaders must lead change in order to be good leaders. Wholesale belief in this lie has created what Ashley calls  “Life in the Blender” - driven by what I've heard some folks refer to as “The Reorg of the Day”. I love love love the musical analogies Ashley uses to describe leadership - not as the lead guitar or first violin, but as the Ground Bass - the principal structural element of a musical piece. The Leader can help teams navigate change by playing a backbeat of stability and consistency, supporting a range of free expression and variation. Find a link to Pachelbel's Canon here and listen to the Goldberg variations here (which he mentions in the extended version of the analogy, later on in the conversation). What is that Ground Bass? For Ashley it's about helping people feel seen, connected, celebrated and clear on the story of the meaning of their contributions to the work.  This perspective aligns very well with the message Bree Larson offered here some years back. Bree is a Partner at SYPartners and shared her framework around the challenges of designing organizational change - that most change can easily result in one or more of the Six Types of Loss she identified: Loss of Control Loss of Pride Loss of Narrative Loss of Time Loss of Competence Loss of Familiarity  All of which Ashley suggests leaders can deflect or reduce through 9 key leadership skills that he outlines in depth in his book: Make space  Forge undeniable competence  Share secrets  Be predictable  Speak real words  Honor ritual  Focus most on teams Radicalize HR  Pave the way Prior to releasing the book, Ashley wrote a New York Times Op-Ed piece which is a blockbuster and is an even more succinct, poignant and straight-on condemnation of modern corporate leadership - it is also highly worth reading. This book feels a bit like a Burn Book - Ashley is pointing out fundamental misconceptions at the heart of corporate life in a direct and unvarnished manner - in the hope that some leaders will listen and start doing things differently - Leading in a way that takes into account how humans really are and what we really need to thrive at work. Ashley is very clear: companies need to look beyond wellness initiatives and corporate cheerleading and shift their focus to the fundamental environment of daily work. The effects of a corporate life caught in constant change are more than clear to anyone who's been through it: uncertainty, a lack of control, a sense of unbelonging and of displacement, and a loss of meaning As Goodall says, “The ultimate job of leadership is not disruption and it is not to create change; it is to create a platform for human contribution, to create the conditions in which people can do the best work of their lives.” Also - do listen for an extended exchange around minute 40 where we talk about the power of praise and the Paul Hollywood handshake - if you're not a Great British Bake off fan, there's still time to watch a few episodes to get in the mood - or at least witness the effect of the Hollywood Handshake on Friends star David Schwimmer here.

Most people think that change at work is great. It has become the defining characteristic of successful organizations, teams, and individuals. But psychologically, change is HARD on humans–it's a common source of stress for many of us. When there's change or uncertainty at work, it creates a degree of fear and anxiety. However, work rituals can help team members feel that sense of continuity amidst changes. So, how can leaders (and team members) effectively leverage rituals to foster stability?Today's guest is Ashley Goodall. Ashley is a leadership expert who has spent his career exploring large organizations from the inside, most recently as an executive at Cisco. He is the co-author of Nine Lies About Work, which was selected as the best management book of 2019 by Strategy + Business and as one of Amazon's best business and leadership books of 2019. Prior to Cisco, he spent fourteen years at Deloitte as a consultant and as the Chief Learning Officer for Leadership and Professional development. His book, The Problem with Change, publishes in May.During our conversation, Ashley and I discussed the challenges of constant change and its impact on us and our team members. He also shared how managers and team members can use rituals to create a sense of certainty, predictability, and stability amidst changes, how to support team members during these changes, the important role of language, and more.Join the conversation now!Get FREE mini-episode guides with the big idea from the week's episode delivered to your inbox when you subscribe to my weekly email.Conversation Topics(00:00) Intro(02:32) Why are there constant changes in today's workplace?(04:48) Is change always a good thing?(10:36) Challenges that come with being in a constant state of change(16:06) The role of a team in creating stability and a sense of continuity amidst changes(18:08) How to support your team members when going through changes(20:32) The power of rituals and “ritualization”(28:04) A great manager Ashley has worked for(31:57) Keep up with Ashley(33:07) [Extended Episode Only] Surprising insight on how leaders can foster stability, consistency, and predictability (39:52) [Extended Episode Only] The role of language in creating certainty in times of changeAdditional Resources:- Get the extended episode by Joining The Modern Manager Podcast+ Community for just $15 per month- Read the full transcript here- Follow me on Instagram here - Visit my website for more here- Join the Skills Accelerator Program hereKeep up with Ashley Goodall- Grab a copy of Ashley's book The Problem with Change here- Visit Ashley's website for more information here10% Discount on The Problem With ChangeDrawing on two decades spent leading HR organizations at Deloitte and Cisco, in this book, Ashley Goodall reveals the truth about human performance and offers a radical new alternative to the constant turbulence that defines corporate life.

On this episode of the Live Greatly podcast Kristel Bauer sits down with leadership expert Ashley Goodall, author of THE PROBLEM WITH CHANGE: And the Essential Nature of Human Performance (Little Brown Spark, May 7, 2024).  Kristel and Ashley discuss the potential problem with change at work, what kind of change can be bad, what to do about it, how leaders can support their team, how to create an environment for optimal performance, and more.  Tune in now! Key Takeaways from This Episode: How to create an environment for optimal performance at work Why too much change at work can be bad Tips for how leaders can support their teams amid change Why to not micromanage The importance of rituals at work A look into Ashley's book, THE PROBLEM WITH CHANGE: And the Essential Nature of Human Performance (Little Brown Spark, May 7, 2024) The importance of building stability at work  A look into gossip and if it is good or bad ABOUT ASHLEY GOODALL & HIS BOOK, THE PROBLEM WITH CHANGE: And the Essential Nature of Human Performance (Little Brown Spark, May 7, 2024): For decades, change—and its more sleekly packaged version, “disruption”—have been seen as essential tools for the growth of any business. That's a huge problem, argues Ashley Goodall in his ground-breaking new book. While shaking things up is the first thing a new leader is expected to do, and while generations of executives have been taught that change is an unalloyed good, the reality on the ground is very diHerent. Change isn't always good, and it often fails to achieve what we expect it to (resulting in yet more change)—and a big part of the reason for this is that change makes it harder for people to do their jobs. In THE PROBLEM WITH CHANGE: And the Essential Nature of Human Performance (Little Brown Spark, May 7, 2024), Nine Lies About Work author Goodall vividly captures the downside of the constant upheaval most people experience in the corporate world—which feels, on a daily basis, like living life in a blender. Drawing on extensive research into human psychology and decades of experience leading HR teams at organizations like Cisco and Deloitte, Goodall reveals how the ongoing turmoil of corporate life creates uncertainty, a lack of control, a sense of unbelonging and of displacement, and a loss of meaning, and shows how each of these, in turn, undermines our ability to get things done. He argues that the recent increases in employee activism and quiet quitting, and the intractably low levels of engagement at work, are in fact symptoms of these problems with change—and that to address them, companies need to look beyond wellness and corporate cheerleading, and instead at the fundamental environment they create at work every day. And he suggests that stability—of the sort that paves the way for improvement at work—emerges from a clear understanding of what humans need in order to perform at their best, and that this can be found in how we lead, how we talk, and how we value teams, ritual, and predictability. As Goodall says, “The ultimate job of leadership is not disruption and it is not to create change; it is to create a platform for human contribution, to create the conditions in which people can do the best work of their lives.” I'll be in touch to discuss the possibilities for coverage.  ABOUT ASHLEY GOODALL: Ashley Goodall is a leadership expert who has spent his career exploring large organizations from the inside, most recently as an executive at Cisco.

Unleashing the Power of Leadership Soft Skills Development and Career Advancement In the dynamic world of professional growth and personal fulfillment, mastering the art of leadership soft skills development is the key to unlocking your full potential. In a recent insightful conversation, renowned executive coach, speaker, and author Peggy Klaus and executive leadership and career advancement coach Sabrina Braham MA MFT PCC explored the profound impact of these skills on your career. The Leadership Soft Skills Revolution Peggy Klaus, a leading expert in soft skills leadership brand development and author of "The Hard Truth about Soft Skills" and "Brag! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It.” highlighted the evolving recognition of the importance of soft skills in today's professional landscape. This shift has made it clear that mastering these skills is crucial to personal and brand development. These skills encompass a wide range of personal, social, communication, and self-management behaviors, including self-awareness, adaptability, resilience, confidence, risk-taking, and critical thinking. The Foundation of Your Leadership Success: Self-Awareness The conversation started with a deep dive into self-awareness, the cornerstone of leadership brand development. Understanding what drives you, how you think, and how you feel is essential to excel in your career and align your work with your true passions and interests. Your brand development journey begins with self-awareness, ensuring you are talented and passionate about your work. Debunking the "Luck" Myth Peggy Klaus further emphasized the role of soft skills in your leadership brand development to dispel the myth of luck in career success. She asserted that success isn't merely a result of luck or wishing for it. Instead, it's about hard work, self-awareness, resilience, and the ability to learn and adapt. Those who focus on leadership soft skills and brand development are better equipped to open themselves up to new opportunities, transforming those "lucky breaks" into calculated achievements. Handling Criticism and Seeking Feedback: Keys to Effective Brand Development The conversation also delved into strategies for handling criticism and seeking feedback, integral aspects of leadership soft skills and brand development. Active listening, staying curious, and not taking criticism personally are pivotal. Peggy advised individuals to embrace criticism as an opportunity for growth. Adopting this approach enables you to address and incorporate feedback into your brand development journey effectively. Shaping Your Leadership Brand with Effective Communication Executive brand development is an ongoing process. Peggy Klaus recommended creating a "brag bag" to collect achievements, compliments, and positive feedback. This resource is invaluable for promoting yourself and building a solid leadership brand. Please don't assume your work speaks for itself; actively communicate your achievements and impact to enhance your brand. Your Leadership Brand: Staying Visible in a Remote World As remote work becomes more prevalent, staying visible is challenging to develop your leadership brand. Sending brief updates to colleagues and bosses about your projects and achievements is essential. Initiating a "brag round" is another technique to foster connection and awareness in remote work environments, a strategy aligned with Leadership soft skills development. Personal and Professional Growth: The Ultimate Brand Development The conversation focused on personal and professional growth, a significant aspect of leadership soft skills development. Peggy Klaus emphasized the importance of self-reflection and seeking feedback to shape your brand. She encouraged individuals to take ownership of their strengths and actively manage their time. Additionally, she recommended a book titled "Nine Lies About Work" by Marcus Buckingham,

When it comes to inclusion, it is all about education.   Surrounding yourself around others that are not like yourself is going to push you to learn more about others. This education then leads to the ability to be more inclusive and helping to be more accessible to other groups.   On this show, we had the chance to talk with two amazing gentlemen, both who started their lives out with vision and are now legally blind. The things that these gentlemen are doing to “change the perception of blindness” for others is instrumental!   In this discussion, they talk about the fears that set in when it comes to inclusion and accessibility. There is fear from one side when it comes to asking. Asking if a blind individual needs help. Asking how you can support them. There is fear from the blind community when it comes to applying for jobs, getting support, etc.   We all have fears when it comes to taking steps to change AND change is necessary. Asking the questions is something the simplest place to start.   This episode is a vital episode to listen to if you are wanting to support different communities in being more inclusive and accessible and you don't know where to start. This podcast gives encouragement to just start. It can start with simply asking questions. Ask how to help, how to change, how to improve… and then let's do it!

About Culture Crush Culture is not just a tag word to be thrown around. It is not something you throw in job descriptions to draw people to applying for jobs within a company.   According to Marcus Buckingham and Ashely Goodall in their book Nine Lies About Work, “Culture is the tenants of how we behave. It's like a family creed. This is how we operate and treat each other in the family.” As a growing company:    There are many resources out there for company culture but they are scattered and difficult to find. Culture is not a one size fits all, so it is important for companies to find the resources that are the right fit for growing their own company culture.    We have worked to build a hub that brings all of the resources together in one place and one community. The Culture Crush Business is the one stop shop for everything related to growing company culture.    On this podcast:   We focus on everything surrounding businesses with good company culture. We will talk with company leaders to learn about real-life experiences, tips, and best practices for creating a healthy work environment where employees are finding joy and satisfaction in their work while also striving and growing within the company. We also find the companies that offer resources to help improve company culture and showcase them on the show to share their tips and tricks for growing culture. About the Host Kindra Maples is spartan racer, past animal trainer, previous magician's assistant, and has a weakness for Oreo cookie shakes. Her journey working with people actually started working with animals as a teenager (don't worry we won't go that far back for her bio).   She worked for over 15 years in the zoo industry working with animals and the public. Her passion of working with animals shifted into working with people in education, operations and leadership roles. From there her passion of leadership and helping people develop has continued to grow.   Then came the opportunity for leading the Culture Crush Business Podcast and she jumped on it. Leadership, growth, and strong company cultures are all areas that Kindra is interested in diving into further.

Have you ever wanted to hear from a company that was really crushing it with their company culture? Did you ever want to just listen in on the things that they were doing to improve their company culture? Well now is your chance.   We brought James Christensen from Gateway Bank and Tierra Terry with the Better Business Bureau Serving the Pacific Southwest together to hear about the various things they are doing to try and improve their company culture.   From putting a gym in the office and providing time for employees to take a break during the work day, to bringing in a specialist to work on a resilience strategy with the company. The list goes on with the variety of things that Gateway Bank and the BBB are implementing.   The company culture does not just come from space that is built in the office and programs that are implemented. It comes from the leadership. Culture comes from the leaders that really do allow the staff the opportunity to come talk to them. It comes from the leadership that is open and raw about their own struggles and journeys. It comes from the leadership being willing and open to new ideas and change. If the leadership is not open, authentic, and raw, then the rest of the work that is implemented is pointless.   This is a great episode to listen in on if you are looking to hear how leaders open up to their employees to set the tone for the company. Listen in to hear the variety of ways to implement change in the workplace such as; flexible work schedules, maternal support, catered lunches, gym space, life guides, resilience strategy, mental health support, and more. It starts with the leadership and then continues on from there. Take a listen and learn from Gateway Bank.   Gateway Bank is the only community bank in Mesa, Arizona. Gateway represents a return to how banking used to be, where the staff knew everyone by name and treated customers like people instead of numbers in a database.   They bring this nostalgic approach into modern times and offer the best of both worlds: the fast, personal service of a local bank, plus the diverse products and services of a large bank. While Gateway's branch is located in Mesa, they serve customers across the Valley.   With a nationwide network of fee-free ATMs, plus added conveniences like Remote Deposit for businesses, you can experience the Gateway difference no matter where you are.   James Christensen is the President of Gateway Bank, the only community bank in Mesa, Arizona. Under his leadership, Gateway has thrived through multiple economic downturns and grown to consistently be one of the strongest performing financial institutions in its peer group.   James is also very active in the local community and was named Mesa Citizen of the Year in 2023. He is a fierce advocate for small businesses, marginalized groups, and people in need. From one-on-one meetings to presentations and podcasts like this, James enjoys educating and inspiring diverse audiences to improve their financial health and overall well-being. Connect with James on LinkedIn.   BBB Pacific Southwest proactively supports an ethical community by providing resources and education by leading experts, coworking and executive meeting space, an online incubator, access to affordable capital, and an intensive accelerator in partnership with GoDaddy.   BBB remains dedicated to helping entrepreneurs develop their businesses ethically to build stronger, more trustworthy relationships with customers.

The Dance Between the Employer and the Employee - That's Culture. “This conversation of culture is brand new. Everytime you turn the corner there is a new thing that has never been tried and never been done before.” So how do leaders and employers take all of these new things and learn to implement them into their workplace- through support.  It's a dance and it's not easy.  There is a dance that happens between the employer and the employees. The space between that dance is where the culture is. This space between is where the growth of the company can happen. It takes support from outside of the company to grow and improve in this space though. That support could be learning how to focus on your main stakeholders, it could be providing financial education to your employees, or even coaching the leadership team.  Having Aaron and Kent on the show was so rewarding to our team and we hope it was to the listeners as well. They are both so knowledgeable and it makes sense why they work in the spaces that they do. They discussed some of these areas where the outside support to the company is what leads to the growth of the culture and the company.  Who are your stakeholders and how do you support them?  Kent gave us some insight into the work that he does focusing on the stakeholder business model and the work that he does to shift companies from a shareholder focus to a stakeholder focus. What are the needs of the employees and the employers as they keep up that dance and redefine what those relationships look like.  Aaron walked us through the responsibilities that working “in” the business is to work “on” the business. There are trends to notice, feedback to gather, and polarities in the company to deal with. In most cases, the best way to get to know what is going on inside of the business, is to ask someone outside of the business. As a leader, having someone else check in with your team is when you are going to end up finding out more.  “Who are the stakeholders that are part of your world and can they start putting the blocks together for culture so that as it grows it is there and they don't have to correct it.”  This is a beautiful episode to listen to if you are ready to hear from two of the most knowledgeable individuals about growing a conscious business with a strong culture.  A few of our quick takeaways:  Culture is not a balanced equation.  Be intentional from the get go to grow your culture.  Define your higher purpose.  All coaches are not created equally.  Share the story of your company to show transparency.  Focus on positive reinforcement with the stakeholders.    Some resources that came up in the conversation: In addition to the resources that Aaron and Kent provide, there was a book that was mentioned in the podcast that we wanted to share as well.  The book- Bringing out the Best in People: How to Apply the Astonishing Power of Positive Reinforcement  by Aubrey Daniels   The Beyond Zero film that focused on the culture and sustainability building of the company Interface.  ------------------------------------------------------------   Stakeholder Business is a collaboration between three inspired humans who care deeply about ushering in the next paradigm of capitalism where — rather than business benefiting a select few and actively harming others — it benefits all.

Building Culture Through Human Connection  Do you ever feel like you are moving through the motions at work and not really connecting with the people there? You want to know them more and truly connect but you aren't. Do you ever feel this same way when you are at a networking event? As if it is a competition for how many names and business cards you can share?  This is because you are not finding the real connection with people.    True human connection and communication is what really builds culture and relationships.  True connection with others helps good leaders to become the best leaders. We discussed this with Craig Forman with CultureAmp and Bobi Seredich with Southwest Institute for Emotional Intelligence on this episode of the Culture Crush Business Podcast.  When we reflect on this podcast, we have so many topics that were discussed.  Self awareness Military culture and influence Emotional intelligence for the workplace  Ways to inspire people through culture  Having the courage to be vulnerable The fitbit affect with culture  Leveraging data to grow culture  Stop, Breath, Ask If you are curious about these topics then you will have to listen to the podcast to hear more from Bobi and Craig about them.  In the meantime, we do have a few other quick takeaways from the podcast about shifting your attitude and actions.  Intent versus impact: We all have good intentions but others judge us by our actions. When you are forming a relationship or bond with someone, be curious instead of judgemental. Love human beings, not human doings. Let's try to be more intentional.  Transformational versus transactional: Let's try to be less transactional and more transformational. When it comes to connections and relationships, it does not need to be a tit for tat game. If we come at relationships with the want and need to help support and transform, then the relationship has the opportunity to build in a more unique way.    About Craig  Craig is on the mission to help the world work better by improving the places we work.

From first glance and the start to the podcast, you may not see the amazing alignment and similarities between Jonathan and April. We see them though! Jonathan and April are both very aligned with growing conscious businesses and supporting people in a very selfless manner. What they do helps people and companies grow; Whether it is Jonathan giving advice to other business leaders about how to grow a business and not being ruthless, or April going into the company to guide and coach them to growing their business through the principles of Generosity Culture. They are both supporting the growth of great conscious and caring leaders. It was great to hear about their backgrounds getting them to this point where they are now. Jonathan grew up and went into the Real Estate business thinking that he had to be ruthless to make money. April gained experience and knowledge from her time in the military that she is now able to put into place with the work that she does helping companies and leaders. When asked about the favorite part of her own company's culture, April said, “My favorite part of my company's culture is it's all about helping and empowering others. Everything we do is in service to others' success.” When Jonathan was asked about his company culture he told us, “Keyser was built off of 15 core operating principles. We are very clear about that during the hiring process, and because of that, I am confident that each of my team members buys into those beliefs. In fact, many of the current members have joined Keyser because they believed in the principles. This bleeds into how we interact with one another and how we serve our clients.” If you are looking for a podcast with a few passionate individuals that have a strong stance on improving company culture, being selfless, supporting others- then this is it. The two of them discuss the passion to lead selflessly, the importance of being forthcoming and honest, and building a workplace that is safe and provides courage to disagree. There are stories and examples to listen to in this podcast that are great for all levels of leaders to learn from. Driven Outcomes is a consulting firm that helps accelerate the revenue growth and culture creation of businesses across industries using the principles of The Generosity Culture. Working with company CEO's, Leaders and Entrepreneurs, Driven Outcomes drives unprecedented success by modeling the power of pouring into people, clients and the community.

It is not something you throw in job descriptions to draw people to applying for jobs within a company. According to Marcus Buckingham and Ashely Goodall in their book Nine Lies About Work, “Culture is the tenants of how we behave. It's like a family creed. This is how we operate and treat each other in the family.” As a growing company- Culture Crush Business Podcast is THE culture improvement resource that supports companies and leaders.  Our Mission is to improve company cultures so people WANT to go to work. Employees and leaders should like where they work and we think this is possible. Within the company: Culture Crush has Vetted Resources and Partnerships with the right people and resources that can help improve your company culture. On this podcast:  We focus on everything surrounding businesses with good company culture. We will talk with company leaders to learn about real-life experiences, tips, and best practices for creating a healthy work environment where employees are finding joy and satisfaction in their work while also striving and growing within the company.  We also find the companies that offer resources to help improve company culture and showcase them on the show to share their tips and tricks for growing culture. About the Host Kindra Maples  is spartan racer, past animal trainer, previous magician's assistant, and has a weakness for Oreo cookie shakes. Her journey working with people actually started working with animals as a teenager (don't worry we won't go that far back for her bio). She worked for over 15 years in the zoo industry working with animals and the public. Her passion of working with animals shifted into working with people in education, operations and leadership roles. From there her passion of leadership and helping people develop has continued to grow. Then came the opportunity for leading  the Culture Crush Business Podcast and she jumped on it. Leadership, growth, and strong company cultures are all areas that Kindra is interested in diving into further. Shout Outs We want to thank a few people for their behind the scenes effort in helping this relaunch to come to life.

Culture is a hard thing to measure but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't be an area that companies continue to focus priority on. It might be hard to track culture with metrics (and things like self care for employees) but it is possible and your company will see the long term shifts in the revenue, retention, and overall company improvements when focusing on company culture.  Kathleen and Neville have such amazing backgrounds and experiences in the space of self care, meditation, and human centered leadership support that it led the conversation to a deeper level. Self care and mental health directly relates and connects to the culture of the company and the employees that work there.  Culture is the web that connects and fuels everything that is part of the company; feelings, values, mission, people, and more. We discussed the need to create a visual map or web that might show this, but even then we might be able to add in everything that matters in culture.  Retention Success Customer support  Balance  There are companies out there that are successfully starting to incorporate self care and mental health into the workplace (such as Banner Health and EvolvedMD), but we are hoping that others can start to find these ways as well. If you are searching for a conversation about bringing self care into the workplace and hearing about the importance behind it- this is your podcast. Kathleen's company focuses on growing culture through supporting the employees with the self care journey (we talk about the science behind this too). Neville is an executive with his company but very focused on the deeper levels of people and shows this through the conversation. By the end of the show, they discussed that there was a need for another episode. It wouldn't be a part two that would extend the conversation, it would be a part two that would give folks tangible steps on dealing with stressful situations, breathing techniques, and meditation practices. We will keep everyone updated, but this follow up show will be in the works soon!

This conversion of culture and conscious business was so fluid that you would have thought that Kindra and her two guests, Adam and Thomas, had known each other and talked for years. This was the first time we have done a live stream where the guests could listen and post questions on the Culture Crush Business Podcast- and it was awesome! Thank you to all of the listeners that chimed in and posted questions in the chat. Thank you to Phoenix Business RadioX and Conscious Capitalism Arizona Chapter for sharing it out. They were great questions that we went over toward the end of the show. This conversation dove into many stories and examples of the actions and importance for growing a conscious business- even if it seems a little backwards sometimes. For example, Adam discussed how Goodmans Interior Structures no longer requires their office staff to come into the office to work. This might seem a little backwards for a company that builds and sells office furniture. Instead, they are assessing and redesigning the office into a place where employees want to come into the office. They took into consideration what the employees said and wanted and are putting it into action. This conscious business move will help grow and support the needs of the employees, and therefore the overall culture of the company. This conversation is a great one to listen to if you are a leader trying to improve your company culture and wanting to learn more about conscious capitalism and how it can help influence and support the change you are trying to make in your company. According to Thomas, “Consciousness has no finish line” which means we can always learn and add to our growth and our tool box. When it comes to helping companies grow in conscious ways, Thomas is the man for the job. He has supported the growth of various Conscious Capitalism chapters as well as helped over 800 leaders in his program on developing their conscious journey. He gives away a few of these tips in the podcast conversation with Adam as well. Thank you to our sponsor, the Conscious Capitalism Arizona Chapter, for seeing the value in this conversation of conscious capitalism, culture, and these two amazing gentlemen.

Authenticity, humanity, and integrity are just a few of the words to describe the two gentlemen on this show and the direction that the conversation went in. When it comes to pairing guests for the Culture Crush Business Podcast, we pair strategically. We tend to pair a company that has a great culture with a company that offers resources to improve culture. For this show, each of the two companies that were on the show fit into both of these categories. BOTH companies are growing a great culture while ALSO supporting companies with improving their company culture. This conversation started strongly in the direction and importance of DEI in the workplace and supporting individuals in being their authentic selves in a psychologically safe work environment. Psychological safety is a shared belief held by members of a team that the team is safe for interpersonal risk taking. It gives the employees the opportunity to disagree and still be supported in the workplace. This was part of the bigger conversation of things that leaders and companies can do to support the mental health of their employees. Companies can't just talk about supporting mental health- they actually need to take action on it. We walked away with tons of examples on how to do this!! Ask the right questions What am I doing and what is the company doing that can be improved on? How are you doing professionally? How are you doing personally? Have open visibility to what goes on the calendar Therapy sessions Dentist Appointments Doctor appointments A block on the calendar for self care Support from leadership to the staff in being their own authentic self Provide a stipend that allows them additional mental health support Allowing them the time for self care during the work day Letter from the CEO articulating the importance of mental health Putting in boundaries for when emails can be sent to the staff When trying to find out more info about Hummingbird Humany, head to their website www.hummingbirdhumanity.com and go to the resources tab where they offer free resources to the Hummingbird community.

We had a wonderful open conversation about culture, transparency, honesty, trust, and leadership. We knew this conversation would be powerful with Andrew Kolikoff and Christine Rogers. Here is a bit of story that started off the conversation: During the planning of this particular Culture Crush Business Podcast episode, there was a different team member from Aspireship that was supposed to be on the podcast as our guest. As we were approaching the show date, she informed our team that she was in the process of transitioning and leaving the company so it made sense to bring Christine on the show instead. Our team wanted to make sure that this original guest was not leaving the company because of the culture and in reality we found out the complete opposite. Not only is that individual leaving the company on positive terms, but they are leaving with grace, transparency and the support of Christine, the company COO, and the rest of the team. This should be an example that we all live by. Now this story was not the entire conversation of the show, but it gives you a taste of where we started. This podcast was not only full of stories, but it was full of examples. There are numerous examples in this podcast of ways that leaders can improve the culture, in baby steps, within their organizations. What does that look like: Be intentional. Be human. Own your mistakes. Be transparent. Power of pause. Pause and take a moment if you need it. Think- how can you show up at that moment? Build cohesion with your team. Create space for your staff to be vulnerable. Be curious. Take a listen and hear the stories and examples that can help you improve your team culture, trust, and connection. As Andrew says, “It takes one soul at a time.” Aspireship is an industry recognized reskilling and job placement platform that helps motivated individuals pivot their career into SaaS sales. Christine Rogers is a seasoned sales and marketing leader with over 15 years of recruiting, hiring, training, and managing high-performing sales teams. Extensive background is complemented by individual experience owning a small business, giving a unique perspective to managing and growing organizations of any size. Recognized as a passionate people leader who maximizes team performance and drives results by multiplying talents for success. Specializations include: Leadership development, strategic planning, organizational management and design, recruiting and hiring, sales process & methodology, training, on-boarding, and customer experience. Connect with Christine on LinkedIn. Aurelius is creating cultures of empowered leadership (and teams) to execute innovative growth strategies through both authentic trust building and behavior transformation. Andrew Kolikoff is a multiple time C-Level executive/company founder, one time landing him on the Cover Page of USA today for a product he invented and received licensing from the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL in 2003. Since that time, Andrew has dedicated his life to behaviorally elevating and transforming leaders' lives. Now, Andrew is an inspirational speaker, author, leadership and culture transformation guru/coach. While he brings with him his additional, wonderfully diverse experiences: 10+ years of not-for-profit board chairmanship, former chief science officer, university adjunct professor, and national director of business development, Andrew's true gift has always shown up in HOW he delivers the change and growth. As he says, before you can authentically create a culture of accountability, authenticity and scaled profitability… each leader first has to “see themselves for who they truly are and align themselves with themselves”. Connect with Andrew on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. About Culture Crush Culture is not just a tag word to be thrown around. It is not something you throw in job descriptions to draw people to applying for jobs within a company.

This is how we operate and treat each other in the family.” As a growing company- Culture Crush Business Podcast is THE culture improvement resource that supports companies and leaders.  Our Mission is to improve company cultures so people WANT to go to work. Employees and leaders should like where they work and we think this is possible. Within the company: Culture Crush has Vetted Resources and Partnerships with the right people and companies that can help improve your company culture.

Today I am talking about Human Resources and their true effect on the culture of an organization. What does it really mean to be truly HUMAN in a corporate setting? I reference Gary Hamel and Michele Zanini's book Humanocracy and also Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall's book Nine Lies About Work in today's episode. How might our corporations shift if we celebrate the heart and soul and spirit inside the corpus?

And everyone knows that good leadership is what makes a company thrive. The problem is that these things are not universally true and may be downright wrong! Marcus Buckingham has studied people and performance for a long time and he joins me to explode some commonly held beliefs about workers and the workplace. Marcus is the author of the book Nine Lies About Work (https://amzn.to/2HlAkdW). If you want to grow in your career, you need to hear this.

Today we wrap up our Nine Lies About Work series with a brief recap of the lies and our overall reactions to the book.

Lie: Leadership is a Thing Truth: We follow spikes Today we cover the final lie in our Nine Lies About Work series with Leadership is a Thing. It turns out, instead of classifying a leader as someone who possesses a pre-defined list of skills and developed some mastery over those skills (the traditional proxy for leadership) - we instead classify leaders as someone who has followers. And, it turns out, followers follow the "spikes" of others. They are attracted to the most defined and extreme parts of another human towards a cause. “When Aeschines spoke, they said, ‘How well he speaks.'But when Demosthenes spoke, they said, ‘Let us march against Philip.'”Thanks for joining us today and don't forget to hit the subscribe button or reach out at hello@wannagrabcoffee.com.

“I'd love your feedback …” It's a phrase we use every day. We say it to our direct reports, co-workers, bosses and customers. We think that feedback is what we need to grow as individuals and as employees -- but what if we told you that the entire way we think about, deliver, and receive feedback is all wrong?Joining the show today are Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall, coauthors of “Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader's Guide to the Real World.” Marcus and Ashley have spent years studying the impact (or lack thereof) of feedback on teams' success, and they have some news for us: feedback does not create growth. In this discussion, Ashley and Marcus share their learnings while writing “Nine Lies About Work,” the fallacy of feedback, and how managers should really be engaging with their teams to encourage growth in a meaningful way.

Lie: Work/Life Balance Matters Most Truth: Live-in-work matters most We think the authors really hit their stride when they focus on the meta-work subjects and how to think about pulling those out of your team. "Burnout isn't the absence of balance, but the absence of love."Work is hard, the only way to do it sustainably is to have areas of work that you love. The number doesn't have to be that high - only around 20% and it's not a cure-all, because work is hard. BUT, if you love a good chunk of your work, you are most likely to be able to do it successfully and sustainably over time AND you avoid much of the downside like burnout and all of the healh-related issues that come along with it. This chapter really spoke to me. I feel like I am most balanced in my life when I am professionally exhausted. I don't even need 40 hours a week to do that, but I need something interesting and challenging and difficult to work on with a sufficient degree of autonomy. If I don't have that in my professional life, I've found that my personal life suffers - even if I don't have that much on my plate. "This person didn't find this work—she didn't happen upon it, fully-formed and waiting for her. Instead, she made it. She took a generic job, with a generic job description, and then, within that job, she took her loves seriously, and gradually, little by little and a lot over time, she turned the best of her job into most of her job.""She tweaked and tweaked the role until, in all the most important ways, it came to resemble her—it became an expression of her. You can do the same. "This is very much tied to strengths, this idea of leaning in on those, expressing them, growing them. This is the key that unlocks professional love. Autonomy/Mastery/Purpose - Dan Pink and Cal Newport talk a lot about this. They would argue following your passions is silly. The probability that you have a passion that you are born with, that is something you are good at, will love for your entire life, and is actually useful are slim. They argue you build passion over time by building strength. Story about Miles the anesthesiologist and what he loves about work, other similar doctors loved a different aspect, but they all had roughly the same job. "The world won't do your weaving for you—it doesn't care about your red threads. The only person who can stop and be attentive enough to identify these threads, and weave them intelligently into the fabric of your work, is you."Thanks for joining us today and don't forget to hit the subscribe button or reach out at hello@wannagrabcoffee.com.

Lie: People have potential Truth: People have momentum Potential is an intangible subjective opinion about someone that is rooted in almost a character trait instead of a tangible behavior or skill. You can't assess the potential of someone because we're all unique, our brains develop differently, we have different interests, we're all at different stages in our lives, etc. so. to bucket a person into one of two PERMANENT buckets, high-potential or low-potential might be well meaning but is ultimately an unsophisticated way to assess current capabilities and future performance. Worse of all, these labels stick with you for your entire tenure at the organization you are at and it's virtually impossible to change. Idea here is to reframe the discussion around momentum, which has an analogy back to physics. Momentum is a product of mass and velocity. Two measurable traits, that when you multiply them together, you have a meaningful term that is a vector - so magnitude and direction. Momentum is a term that we all have experienced and is easier to wrap our head around and does not require us to tell the future. "Potential is a one-sided evaluation. Momentum is an ongoing conversation"In the idea of performance momentum mass refers to inherent and enduring traits. These things don't really change or if they do, not by much, or not very frequently. behavioral tendencies core values extroversion/introversion How they prefer to work Favorite parts of their job Things they get excited about Then you have velocity. These are demonstrated skills, performance record, credentials. These describe what your responsibilities are, and how well you've done them. They can be used as an indicator of direction, but they can also change - people change the focus of their careers over time. Record of performance Demonstrated behaviors Feedback from peers Measurable and coachable areas that that be improved and adjusted over time These concepts are rooted in something real, that you can take and help shape/coach/assess for the future. We have taken an unusable subjective assessment that is unsophisticated and, with a little bit of effort and data we already have, morph the discussion into something practical and gives us an opportunity to multiply our team's contributions within the organization in a sustainable way - and that are in our direct's control. Understanding these two areas requires two desecrate lines of questioning and the ability to synthesize them - the point here is there is an ongoing conversation here with your team. In your 1:1s ask probing questions over time to understand those behavioral tendencies, core values, and general personal and professional preferences. At the same time, over time, through your 1:1s, feedback, coaching, and delegation, build a solid understanding of the existing skills and strengths of your team and overlay with the first part And most near term, stop thinking about potential, stop talking about potential. Have a more modern, nuanced, sophisticated, and effective discussion around momentum as defined by a person's professional mass and velocity. Never in my life have I wanted a high mass.

Today we continue our discussion on the Nine Lies About Work book series with Lie #6 People Can Reliably Rate Other People. We cover the subtle difference between feedback given about an individual against an obscure set of criteria - with an arbitrary numerical scoring system - and the professional opinion and experience of the leader discussing how they experience/perceive the behaviors and performance of their directs. We believe the latter approach, recommended by the book, is a great starting point for more effective "performance management" within an organization. Working on an individual, context rich, and nuanced approach for your team will yield more dividends in the future than a yearly infrequent scoring against standardized criteria.

Today we continue our discussion on the Nine Lies About Work book series with Lie #5 People Need Feedback. We cover the difference between feedback and attention and why the ability to deliver effective positive and negative feedback is a cornerstone of strong leadership and management. As leaders, it's vital that we build exceptional relationships with our team as a prerequisite to delivering performance related feedback - especially negative feedback. We also cover 2 rules-of-thumb around feedback: If you want to be a world-class performer in any discipline you need about 10 times the feedback that you're getting today or that your peer group is getting. If you want your team to be world-class, you should be delivering feedback to your team at least once per day.

Today we continue our discussion on the Nine Lies About Work book series with Lie #4 The Best People are Well Rounded.

Today we continue our discussion on the Nine Lies About Work book series with Lie #3 The Best Companies Cascade Goals.

Today we continue our https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40086702-nine-lies-about-work (Nine Lies About Work) series with Lie #2 - The best plan wins. We discuss the value of plans, planning, and the need for teams and individuals to make and meet commitments in order for meaningful progress to be made. We also talk about the difference between planning and decision-making and how leaders can benefit from the guidance from the chapter from that perspective.

Today we kick off our https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40086702-nine-lies-about-work (Nine Lies About Work) series in earnest with Lie #1 - People care which company they work for. One of the core arguments in the first chapter is: Perks attract, teams retain. When organizations recruit, they offer surface-level perks that are attractive in nature (fancy cafeterias, free dry cleaning, bring your dog to work, company name brand, etc.) which do a great job of getting the attention of prospective talent in a crowded market, but do little over time to actually retain that talent. This happens because the individuals you end up working with have much more impact on your overall happiness and career growth than anything the organization can do at the macro-level. A terrible boss or toxic teammate chip away at any of the happiness material perks can hope to give. In general, we feel this is a strong start to the book and are enjoying the series so far - we hope you are as well.

Today we're starting a brand new series where we will deep-dive on one of Igor's favorite books Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader's Guide to the Real World. In today's episode, we discuss the book, some of the impact it had on Igor's career, provide a brief overview of the lies, and discuss our initial reactions/roles moving forward. People care which company they work for The best plan wins The best companies cascade goals The best people are well-rounded People need feedback People can reliably rate other people People have potential Work-life balance matters most Leadership is a thing If you are interested in following along, you can find Nine Lies About Work at any major bookseller. We're hoping to provide some color, experience, thoughts, and narrative about each Lie in order to inform our own thinking of our leadership style and hopefully share thoughts and ideas that are helpful to you as well. This series is sure to create some healthy conflict and drama in the group so we're excited to go on this journey with you!

Marcus Buckingham believes there are some basic assumptions about work that are just no longer true in the business environment today. In this episode, he shares his insights on eight of the nine lies featured in his latest book, Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World, including ideas such as: People care which company they work for; The best plan wins; The best companies cascade goals; The best people are well-rounded; People need feedback; and more.

Have you ever thought you were doing it all wrong? It could well be! Today’s guest shares some big lies about work that will help you get out of your funk and focus on the bigger picture. Ashley Goodall is an executive, leadership expert, and author of Nine Lies About Work, and has spent his career exploring large organizations from the inside. He is currently the Senior Vice President of Methods and Intelligence at Cisco, where his organization aims to reveal the answers to some of the most challenging questions about work. Ashley fell into business and when he worked at Deloitte, they would rate his performance on a scale of 1–5 every year. He hated this process and even more so when he had to do it to other people. Deloitte heard his disdain for it and put him in charge of making their system better. A theme that runs very powerfully throughout Ashley’s book is that we are humans, we are imperfect, we are different, and too much of the world of work finds that difference annoying. Large organizations make a conscious effort to level the playing field, but what they’re really saying is that they’re uncomfortable with human difference. The best organizations and the best teams have figured out how to help people prosper and grow within their organization using their unique talents and differences. Human individuality and uniqueness is a critical feature, not a bug! And, it’s the most important feature of them all.   Interview Links: Ashleygoodall.com Ashley on LinkedIn   Resources: Scaling Up Workshop: Interested in attending one of our workshops?

Work is at least one-third of our lives, if not more. And yet, only 16 percent of the global workforce is fulfilled in the work they do. That figure is at least partly so because the leaders inside many organizations do not see people as individual, wholly unique beings with special talents – but rather as “human resources” to be dispatched or engaged in a set of tasks. The tremendous opportunity that beckons is to first stop believing the lies we've come to accept as truths about work and how it gets done, and instead begin to focus on and prize each individual on the team and within the organization that uniquely powers its mission. Through this new lens, we can create a world where people love their work and bring their best.

He is the co-author of two of the bestselling business books of all time including FIRST BREAK ALL THE RULES and NOW, DISCOVER YOUR STRENGTHS as well as his newest bestseller NINE LIES ABOUT WORK. Building on nearly two decades of experience as a Senior Researcher at Gallup Organization, he currently guides the vision of ADP Research Institute as Head of People + Performance. He founded The Marcus Buckingham Company in 2006 with the clear mission to instigate a "strengths revolution."  Chapter Description: Welcome to Chapter 50 of 3 Books! Yes, in the midst of Coronavirus chaos we’re going to hang out on a hotel room couch in Vancouver for a little bit of calm. (PS. If you haven’t listened to the Surprise Waning Crescent episode of 3 Books all about Coronavirus please check that out first.) I am very excited to have you on the couch beside me and the absolutely incredible Marcus Buckingham. Who is Marcus? Well, if you’re in the business world, you’ve probably heard of him. Why? Well, he’s written books sitting on every executive’s bookshelf and his assessments and work is used everywhere. Marcus Buckingham is a global researcher and thought leader focused on unlocking people's strengths, increasing their performance, and pioneering the future of how people work. I have a feeling his work is going to be much needed after Coronavirus! How did Marcus end up doing this job? Well, after working as Senior Researcher inside Gallup for a couple of decades he co-authored some of the most popular business books of all time including First Break All The Rules, Now Discover Your Strengths, and his latest bestseller, Nine Lies About Work. What does Marcus do now? He guides the vision of ADP Research Institute as Head of People and Performance and in 2006 he founded the Marcus Buckingham Company, with the clear mission to instigate a “strengths revolution.” I love the optimism behind his work. That people are born as acorns, with an imprint inside them on what they could be, and what their true potential could lead them to. I sat down with Marcus overlooking the foggy mountains over Vancouver Harbour just before he took to the stage for the headlining slot at The Art of Leadership. We cover a lot of topics in this chapter including: How do we learn to truly see our children?  How can the education system be improved? How do we avoid tribalism?  What is the real definition of weird? What’s the single best question to ask yourself when trying to articulate your strengths?  And how can we find our own unique way to draw strength and love from life? I found Marcus to be brave, vulnerable, and inspiring in this conversation. Years ago, when I worked at Walmart, we used Marcus’s books and videos in our training sessions. Getting a chance to sit down with him many years later to discuss his 3 most formative books was a rare treat.   Let’s go… What You'll Learn: How do we learn to truly see our children? How can the education system be improved? How do we avoid tribalism?  What is the real definition of weird? What’s the single best question to ask yourself when trying to articulate your strengths?  How can we find our own unique way to draw strength and love from life?

Ashley Goodall is the senior vice president of leadership and team intelligence at Cisco. He is also the co-author of Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World, and the author of two cover stories in the Harvard Business Review: The Feedback Fallacy and Reinventing Performance Management. In today’s discussion, Ashley breaks down why 360 reviews about your staff are flawed, the future of artificial intelligence and its impact on the workforce, and why dedicating resources to building a ‘well-rounded’ employee is not always the best approach.   Key Takeaways [3:55] There is an interesting connection between leadership and music. Music allows people to create and collaborate together and the same applies to leadership. [7:15] When you want to make space for someone to be creative and to help them feel comfortable with collaboration, be sure to be the leader that speaks last. [10:55] Ashley breaks down his interpretation of the theory world vs. the real world. In theory, everyone has metrics that break down what you should be doing, but in reality, people need a baseline first and then the metrics. [13:30] We think that having a well-rounded individual or employee is a good approach, but devoting resources to make them well-rounded might not make the most sense. Some of your best people are not well-rounded! They have a set of focused skill sets that make them great. [15:00] If you want to spend your time getting better, stop focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths instead. [21:30] Don’t find a job you love, make a job you love. Instead of focusing on work/life balance, focus on the content of what you do on a daily basis. [28:30] Ashley saw a gap between what works at work and the actual practice of what organizations were doing. This is why he and his co-author, Marcus Buckingham, wrote the book, Nine Lies About Work. [33:10] Leaders need to challenge the status quo. If they recognize that their reports about their staff’s characteristics and personality are inaccurate, leaders need to speak up and challenge this thinking. [42:35] As artificial intelligence and automation get incorporated more and more in the workforce, leaders think they can now do less. In reality, leaders actually have to step up and focus more on the human aspect of the organization. [49:00] Ashley challenges you to ask your team what their thought process was when they did something great and if they can replicate that success.   Quotable Quotes “The conductor makes space for people to play into.” “Go look at the best people. Are they well-rounded? The answer is no.” “You’ll find that excellent and well-rounded are opposites, not synonyms.” “The lesson from the real world is that avoiding failure repeatedly is not the same as building excellence.”    ~~~~~ ~~~~~ The Leadership Podcast is proud to announce a new initiative with thoughtLEADERS to provide very short podcasts called Chalk Talks.

Mark Cole said it himself – this is one of our best episodes yet!

But most of you may know him from his work with Gallup’s StrengthsFinder tool, which has impacted and equipped countless lives and leaders around the world. In this episode, John and Marcus discuss their definitions of strengths and weaknesses, bust common leadership myths, and Marcus discusses his new book Nine Lies About Work.

The author of a ground-breaking new book called Nine Lies About Work, Ashley Goodall, joins us today for a fun, smart and unpredictable conversation about work and life. Lochhead and Goodall discuss what’s wrong with work and what to do about it, work-life balance and nurturing the human spirit at work.  Nine Lies About Work   Ashley Goodall is SVP of Leadership and Team Intelligence (LTI) at Cisco. He built this new organization to focus entirely on serving teams and team leaders. Through this, they are able to research and study the most challenging questions about work.  His work at Cisco focuses on defining what is special about the best teams and how does one create the best team for the company. Other than this, he is also the co-author of Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World. “There are very few things in life that you can’t or shouldn’t smile at. At some point, the more serious the topic, the more important it is to find little moments of levity and humor.” - Ashley Goodall Work-Life Balance  Ashley points out his opinions about achieving work-life balance and why it is such an unapplicable paradigm in today’s world. Christopher shared how this mindset creates two persons: one that is working and another one, who is living his life.  “The implication of that is, all that stuff in work is bad and all the stuff in life is good. Your job ⁠—  in order to lead a fulfilled life ⁠— is to have enough sugar to sprinkle into all that bitterness of work.” - Ashley Goodall In this mindset, we are taught that life is the antidote to work  ⁠— but that is a huge misrepresentation of life. Further, Ashley says that work-life balance is such a disservice to the wonderfulness of work. It mutes employee curiosity of finding out what work will be like if one is high-performing or say, growing and making a huge impact.  “If the prescription is to take over the toxicity and balance it with life, you'll never get to ask those questions, that is such a shame.” -Ashley Goodall Language, Love, and Life Ashley shares a wide array of stories and opinions in this podcast. He poses his standpoint on giving weight to context, as opposed to just taking words as it is.  He further gives advice on how to grow the human spirit in the workplace. The discussion turns into an interesting discussion about love. To hear more about the nine lies about work and more relevant information from Ashley, download and listen to the episode. Bio: Ashley Goodall is an executive, leadership expert, and author, and has spent his career exploring large organizations from the inside. He looks for lessons from the real world that help people and teams thrive. Further, he focuses on what makes work a more human place for all of the humans in it.  His first experience of teams and leadership were as a student musician and conductor. He was fascinated by the unspoken understanding between people playing together and carried this fascination into the corporate world. He currently serves as the Senior Vice President of Leadership and Team Intelligence (LTI) at Cisco. It is a new organization built to focus entirely on serving teams and team leaders, and which aims to reveal the answers to some of the most challenging questions about work. What is special about the best teams? Why do we follow one leader and not another? How can we make more teams like our best teams and more leaders like our best leaders? The new approaches he has pioneered address everything from performance management to feedback, to team activation technology, to real-time team intelligence, to social network mapping, to strengths-based leadership—and together this challenge much of the conventional wisdom of work today. Ashley is the co-author, with Marcus Buckingham, of Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World (Harvard Business Review Press, April 2019), and of two cover stories in the Harvard Business Review: The Feedback Fallacy,

In 1999, Marcus Buckingham burst onto the scene talking about these things called strengths and how to harness them in his mega-bestseller, First, Break All the Rules, followed in 2001 by Now, Discover Your Strengths. Helping people flourish in work and life became a lifelong obsession, leading to an acclaimed and deeply-rewarding career researching and developing strengths-based tools and insights, first at Gallup, and then launching his own consulting firm, The Marcus Buckingham Company (https://www.marcusbuckingham.com/). Marcus now leads People + Performance research at the ADP Research Institute and remains CEO of his consulting company. And, his latest book, Nine Lies About Work (https://amzn.to/2WJhLsO), takes an in-depth look at some of the biggest lies that pervade our workplaces, the biggest mistakes we make in building our own careers and leading others, and the deeper truths or antidotes that’ll put us back onto the right track.

You crave feedback. Your organization's culture is the key to its success. Strategic planning is essential. Your competencies should be measured and your weaknesses shored up. Leadership is a thing. These may sound like basic truths of our work lives today. But actually, they're lies. As strengths guru and bestselling author Marcus Buckingham and Cisco Leadership and Team Intelligence head Ashley Goodall show in their recent book, Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World, there are some big lies, distortions and faulty assumptions that we encounter every time we show up for work. Nine lies, to be exact. They cause dysfunction and frustration, ultimately resulting in workplaces that are a pale shadow of what they could be. But there are those who can get past the lies and discover what's real. These freethinking leaders recognize the power and beauty of our individual uniqueness. They know that emergent patterns are more valuable than received wisdom and that evidence is more powerful than dogma. With engaging stories and analysis, the authors reveal the essential truths that such freethinking leaders will recognize immediately: that it is the strength and cohesiveness of your team, not your company's culture, that matter most; that we should focus less on top-down planning and more on giving our people reliable, real-time intelligence; that rather than trying to align people's goals we should strive to align people's sense of purpose and meaning; that people don't want constant feedback, they want helpful attention. This is the real world of work, as it is and as it should be. Nine Lies About Work reveals the few core truths that will help you show just how good you are to those who truly rely on you.

Ashley Goodall is that SVP of Leadership and Team Intelligence at Cisco and the author of the new book, Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World. Prior to Cisco, Ashley spent 14 years at Deloitte where he worked in several roles, including Director and Chief Learning Officer, Leadership Development. When conducting research for the book, Ashley and co-author Marcus Buckingham found that a lot of the “basic truths” people think they know about work are actually not true at all. These nine lies that they found are based on data and evidence from the real world of work, it’s not just an opinion or a philosophy. These nine lies found in the world of work are: People care which company they work for The best plan wins The best organizations cascade goals People are well rounded People need feedback People can reliably rate other people People have potential Work life balance matters most Leadership is a thing If you are like me, reading through the list you may be surprised to see a lot of statements that you have held as truth for many years, even decades. But as Ashley went through and explained the reasoning behind why these statements are lies it made complete sense. Taking number one as an example, people care which company they work for, it may seem like an obvious statement. But the truth is people don’t care what company they work for, they care about the team they work with. The experience inside of a company varies from team to team. Ashley says, “We discovered at Cisco, I mean I think this data point is the one that sort of puts the whole thing into a fairly sharp focus, if you go from one of our 50% most engaged teams to one of our 50% least engaged teams, in other words, you pass the sort of median point of team engagement in a downward direction, your chance of voluntarily resigning from Cisco goes up by 45%.That's an enormous, enormous, enormous difference. And the point is, of course, as you go from a great team to a horrible team, you're still working for Cisco, so if it were true that you cared which company you worked for, that hasn't changed. But clearly, every time what trumps this idea of company is team.” Another example is number eight, work life balance matters most. We hear a lot about work life balance, but Ashley says it is an unattainable idea and the phrasing is deceiving. Saying work life balance implies that everything about work is bad and everything about life is good. And trying to keep a perfect balance between the two is fragile and stressful. “More useful is the idea that whether it's in work or in life, there are certain activities that fill us up, that rejuvenate us, that express who we are as people, where we want to make our biggest mark on the world. Activities that replenish us, activities that express, if you like, our love for the world around us, and that it's not really work life balance that we should be after, therefore, it is love loathe imbalance. We want to intelligently work throughout our lives to create more of the activities that we love, and fewer of the activities we loathe, whether that's at work, our outside work.” So what is the purpose of the book and redefining the workplace truths? These lies cause dysfunction and frustration inside of organizations and they keep leaders from achieving their true potential. By identifying and addressing these lies in the workplace our organizations can function more effectively and our leaders can be more successful.

Ashley Goodall, SVP of Leadership and Team Intelligence at Cisco, invites us to think freely about work and life. In this thought-provoking conversation, he discusses how we can challenge today’s conventional wisdom about leadership and focus on what research and experience prove to be effective. He also talks about his partnership with Marcus Buckingham in writing their new book, Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World, and what truly matters when it comes to inspiring excellence in ourselves and others.   Key Takeaways: [4:50] Ashley describes the writing process for his book Nine Lies About Work, which he co-authored with Marcus Buckingham. He would make time for writing on weekends, early mornings and would re-write and go over drafts while traveling for work. Even just setting aside 2-3 hours a week for writing can make a huge difference. [7:50] Great leaders stay curious about what really works, and how to measure if something is working. [8:49] Ashley appreciates the perspective that working at large companies gives him, and how they are living examples of creating significant transformation in an environment that intertwines others. [11:16] Ashley and Marcus wrote Nine Lies About Work to share wisdom from both evidence-based research and on the ground experience. [18:19] We should focus not only how to give feedback, but how it will help others grow. [20:43] Excellence is idiosyncratic. We are unreliable raters of other human beings, and since the information of feedback can be highly suspect, the best way to give it and receive it is to understand it comes from the individual’s truth and perspective. The true understanding comes from our own “aha” moment instead of from others telling us what to do. [28:08] The phrase “Good Job” is the beginning of the conversation, not the end. It gives us a chance to talk about what went right, how to do it again, and possibly how to do it even better. [35:28] The most important job as a leader is to build and encourage excellence in others. [38:41] Most of the real world leaders don’t exemplify all (or most of) the qualities that top the lists of characteristics of a leader. Instead, what leaders do have in common is one main thing: they have followers. We must understand what followers look for in their leaders: They see themselves in one way or another in their leader. The leader provides them assurance about the future. The leader displays confidence and has seen around the corner.   Resources: Purchase Bring Your Whole Self to Work and gain access to bonus material Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on Twitter Mike Robbins on Instagram TED Radio Hour Ashley Goodall The Feedback Fallacy — Harvard Business Review Nine Lies About Work: A Freethinking Leader’s Guide to the Real World, by Marcus Buckingham and Ashley Goodall

In their new best-selling book, “Nine Lies About Work,” co-authors Marcus Buckingham (“First Break All The Rules”) & Cisco’s Director of Leadership, Ashley Goodall, prove that many of the basic truths we’ve long believed about work are actually lies. As examples of our faulty assumptions, we believe the best people are well-rounded & that employees crave feedback. We think strategic planning is essential & that an organization’s culture is key to its success. But as we discuss in this especially enlightening podcast, Goodall says the strength of individual teams actually matters far more to employees than their organization’s culture. He believes managers must lessen their focus on top down planning & give people more real time intelligence with which to take action instead. And despite the very human inclination to call out people’s weaknesses, workers don’t want or even need constant feedback – what they really need in order to thrive is their manager’s “attention.” In a widely read Harvard Business Review article, “The Feedback Fallacy,” Buckingham & Goodall recently revealed another of their nine lies of work: the belief that managers can reliably rate the performance & potential of other people. We dig into all of this & more – & I hope you’ll listen in. Goodall proves to be true sage when it comes to the future of managing people in the workplace.

Total Duration 43:42 Download episode 252 Lies About Work? There are ideas about leadership and management that you and I have learned over the years that sound reasonable. We do them all the time. Surely they must work, right? For example, having competency models to identify what makes, let’s say, an effective project manager or team leader. Using 360-degree feedback instruments to understand our strengths. That strengths are things we’re good at, weaknesses are things we’re bad at, and that we should focus on the things we’re good at. That people need feedback to improve performance, and that annual cascading goals from the top down to teams is a responsible way to run a business. But what if those, as in all of those, were wrong. Or at least wanting for evidence that they’re right. Or, in the words of today’s guest, they’re actually lies? Marcus Buckingham is the co-author of a new book entitled Nine Lies About Work, and he takes a provocative look at work as it is--not how we’d like it to be.
