Radical honesty and feedback are some of the most critical leadership skills, yet so many leaders struggle with them. Why? Because they're uncomfortable, and we're wired to avoid discomfort. But as my guest, Ron Carucci, explains, avoiding feedback comes at a cost—misalignment, poor performance, and eroded trust. Ron is the co-founder and managing partner at Navalent, a consulting firm specializing in transformational change for organizations. He's spent 30+ years coaching executives at Fortune 10 companies, startups, nonprofits, and government agencies, helping them build accountable, high-performing cultures. He's also the author of To Be Honest: Lead with Power, Truth, Justice, and Purpose, a book that unpacks a decade of research on what makes organizations truly honest—or dishonest. In this episode, we explore why feedback is so difficult, how leaders can create a culture of transparency, and tangible ways to give feedback effectively. Ron shares powerful insights on self-honesty, why leaders avoid tough conversations, and how to dismantle toxic workplace dynamics with open dialogue. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why avoiding feedback is selfish and cowardly—and how to shift your mindset ✅ The power of self-honesty in leadership (and how your "origin story" shapes how you give feedback) ✅ How to create a psychologically safe workplace where feedback flows in every direction ✅ The biggest mistakes leaders make when giving feedback—and how to fix them ✅ Simple but powerful strategies to normalize real, honest conversations in your organization
Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova. This week, I'm reflecting on a fun conversation with the wonderful Ron Carucci. Ron is a co-founder and managing partner at Navalent, where he works with CEOs and executives pursuing transformational change for their organizations, leaders, and industries. He has a thirty-year track record helping some of the world's most influential executives tackle challenges of strategy, organization, and leadership. He is a best-selling author of 8 books. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anyone looking to learn how to create diverse communities and support a thriving company culture helmed by true leadership. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Ron shares the four things that successful leaders have all done and how others can follow the same path to success. He refocuses our thinking on leadership training, self-development, and a true understanding of diversity and, more importantly, diversity of thought. WHAT I LOVE MOST… I love having a conversation about true leadership. I often hear, “I don't know where to begin,” from people trying to move in their careers or who want to take on more management responsibilities. The way Ron positions thinking about training, self-development, and understanding diversity is invaluable to getting started.

In this episode of Stories from the River, host Charlie Malouf wraps up the Ron Carucci series by welcoming special guests Marcus Benjamin and Davin Salvagno. Both guests provide insights into Ron Carucci's impactful talk delivered at Broad River Retail on Friday, September 20, 2024. Marcus Benjamin, CEO at Benjamin Strategy, and Davin Salvagno, founder of PurposePoint and the Purpose Summit, share their admiration for Carucci and his ability to inspire and educate his audience. Having collaborated with Carucci on numerous occasions, Davin describes Ron's talk as one of the best he has ever given, highlighting the impactful message of understanding not just who people are but "whose they are you." Marcus adds that Ron's stories and data-driven insights resonated well with Broad River's culture, emphasizing the importance of having robust "seams" within organizational structures to facilitate growth. Both guests reflect on the key takeaways from Carucci's talk, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, vulnerability, and trust in fostering a healthy work environment. Davin mentions the visual analogy of an ill-fitting sport coat to describe organizational growth and the need to adapt to new sizes and challenges. He stresses that genuine trust can only be built through honesty and vulnerability. Marcus discusses how leadership can inadvertently break trust by not aligning actions with communicated expectations. He shares a personal example of leading by action to reinforce company objectives, emphasizing that Memory Makers should see their leaders model the behavior expected of them. Davin also unpacks the benefits of looking at feedback as "Feed Forward." And, he descibes the concept and story of "balcony people" from the book of Hebrews as people cheering you on during a race in describing how Memory Makers welcome you when you come to the River and cheer you on. The episode closes with praise for Broad River Retail's culture of purpose leadership, encouraging other organizations to follow suit in fighting for a purpose greater than profit and using business as a force for good.

Welcome back to the behind the scenes series at Stories from the River. Host Charlie Malouf welcomes Memory Makers Sara Callahan, Joanna Innocenti, Jeff Willis, Stacie Pittman, and Nathan Jeter to reflect on Ron Carrucci's impactful talk given at The River on September 20th. The central theme of Carrucci's talk, and the series of discussions following it, revolve around the importance of connection, which is also central to Broad River Retail's 2024 word of the year - Connect. The episode underscores the significance of in-person events to foster genuine connections amongst Memory Makers, especially in a work culture increasingly dominated by virtual meetings. They discuss how these events make them feel valued and invested in by Broad River, creating opportunities to eliminate distractions, feel the energy of their fellow Memory Makers, and engage in meaningful conversations. The Memory Makers share various ways they aim to maintain connections, both with coworkers and customers. They emphasize the value of in-person interactions and regular team events, like the Sleep Summits at the Charlotte Motor Speedway and The Purpose Summit held earlier this year in Charlotte, in strengthening team bonds. Techniques like virtual coffee breaks and quarterly lunches are highlighted as effective ways to stay connected in a remote work setting. On a personal note, some Memory Makers also discuss how staying connected helps them be more mindful and balanced, enabling them to slow down and approach work with renewed energy and clarity. They express gratitude for Broad River Retail's investment in their development and well-being, culminating in endorsements of the company's leadership and community culture.

Welcome to Stories from the River and this new mini-series from Ron Carucci's visit to Broad River Retail. Host Charlie Malouf welcomes guest speaker Ron Carucci, a bestselling author, and the co-founder and managing partner of Navalent. Carucci is known for his expertise in building trust within organizations and has spoken multiple times at the Purpose Summit, including the recent Purpose Summit this spring in Charlotte, North Carolina. This episode features a Q&A session with Carucci, who engaged with Broad River Retail's Memory Makers at their Fort Mill, South Carolina, campus following his talk and presentation to Broad River's Memory Makers on Friday, September 20th. The discussion focuses on insights into organizational trust, collaboration, and effective communication across different departments, or ways to 'stitch the seams' and keep the seams better connected. Carucci delves into ways to handle and improve tension in relationships within the workplace, emphasizing the importance of consistent and honest communication. He suggests practical steps like having regular, informal conversations to build trust slowly and advocates for the use of 3rd party facilitators when necessary. Carucci also addresses the need for scalable operating models and warns against relying on "heroics"—short-term, unsustainable efforts to fix problems. Instead, he encourages organizations to create standardized processes that can support long-term growth and innovation.

Welcome to The Purpose Summit Series on Stories from the River! To kick off this 12-episode series with selected speakers from The Purpose Summit 2024, Charlie Malouf welcomes Davin Salvagno, Founder and CEO of Purpose Point and a return guest of the podcast. They sat down for this conversation at the NASCAR Hall of Fame Museum Gear Shop during The Purpose Summit 2024. A friend of The River, this episode marks Davin's fifth appearance on the podcast. Davin shares the experience of bringing the 5th Purpose Summit to Charlotte, and he discusses the intricate planning and teamwork that goes into organizing The Purpose Summit. Recorded in front of a live audience during the breakout sessions on day two of the Summit, Salvagno shares insights about the opening night of The Purpose Summit, where purposeful and positive speakers like Nick Craig and Jon Gordon set a high standard, delivering messages that were both inspiring and transformative for attendees. He describes the first night as a microcosm of the Summit's larger objective, emphasizing the importance of stopping to follow others' maps and instead becoming map-makers. The Purpose Leadership Awards also shone a spotlight on organizations exemplifying purpose from three different areas (for profit, non profit, and faith-based). The discussion moves to the events of the following morning with presentations by Ron Carucci and Mark Whitacre, both delivering impactful content that challenged and inspired participants. Davin reveals that this year's feedback was particularly positive, noting a stronger emphasis on actionable "how-to" advice compared to previous summits. He addresses the demanding nature of organizing the Summit, sharing his motivation drawn from the high percentage of disengaged workers and the transformative potential business holds. Both Charlie and Davin underscore the significance of the event for attendees and organizations like Broad River Retail. Looking ahead, The Purpose Summit is set to return to Charlotte in 2025, with Salvagno expressing hope for the Summit to continue its impact and possibly establish a long-term home in Charlotte.

Preparing leaders to lead in times of crisis is a major challenge for organizations that gains in importance as we transition into a Human Centric Workplace: In a recent McKinsey Global Institute study, it was revealed that companies demonstrating proficient crisis leadership boast a 3.3 times higher probability of surpassing their industry counterparts. Similarly, a 2022 Harvard Business Review study highlighted that leaders fostering psychological safety among their workforce exhibit a greater likelihood of achieving success during periods of crisis. “Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own.” - De Gaulle About my guest Imad Elabdala As an authority in Change Leadership, Imad Elabdala combines the art of storytelling with scientific principles, orchestrating impactful global sessions focused on self-leadership and resilience.

People don't care how much you know, unless they know how much you care. As a leader, you should give out that care, taking the time to pause and consider if your feedback delivery is coming across in the way you intend. In this episode, Kim and Wesley chat with Ron Carucci, who reflects on how giving feedback at the bank made him grapple with his understandings of racial and gender privilege. Ron is co-founder and managing partner at Navalent, working with CEOs and executives pursuing transformational change for their organizations, leaders, and industries. He has a thirty-year track record helping executives tackle challenges of strategy, organization and leadership.

By Adam Turteltaub Fast Company recently ran an article with the headline “Research Shows High Performing Employees are More Prone to Unethical Mistakes.” It's both an alarming and an intriguing proposition. To understand more I spoke with Richard Bistrong, CEO of Front-Line Anti-Bribery LLC, who co-authored the article along with Ron Carucci and Dina Smith. Why are high performers potentially so dangerous? For one, he explains, success tends to block scrutiny. People don't like to question it and are just grateful to see so much of it. They may not think to look or not want to look too deeply. Another challenge is that the more successful people are, the more addicted to success they may become, something Richard knows from his own experience. The challenge of being a corporate hero, he explains, is that once you earn that status, you typically don't want to give it up and may end up going down what has been called the rabbit hole of success. At the same time, the company may be exerting pressure on the individual to do ever more, partially because it is standard practice in business to set higher goals. But also, the company may grow disproportionately dependent on the results the high performer can generate. Fortunately, there are several things that can be done to mitigate the risk without clipping the wings of the highflyer. For one, compliance teams should try to look at the incentive plans to both identify the risks and help mitigate them. While there, look to also include compliance measures that make it clear that it's not just about achieving the goals, it's also about how you achieve them. Second, connect rewards and good performances with the company's values and mission. This helps the high performer understand both what the rules are and why they are important. Listen in to learn about how to get the most out of higher performers while avoiding the risk that can come with them.

In this episode of Career Can Do, Mary Ann Faremouth chats with Ron Carucci, owner and Managing Partner of Navalent. A 2-time TEDx speaker, Ron works with CEOs and executives pursuing transformational change for their organizations. He is the bestselling author of nine books, the most recent one being selected by Bloomberg Businessweek as one of 2021's Best Books. Ron explores how leaders can build purpose-driven companies of honesty and justice, and shares the importance of belonging. To Be Honest: Lead with the Power of Truth, Justice and Purpose is the result of 15 years of research, Ron shares. The initial idea wasn't a book, but a study on honesty and investigating the conditions under which people would act fairly, decently, and serve a greater purpose. The statistical models that came out of the research were so compelling, he wanted to share it. The problem with generational differences is that we don't see the conflict for what it is. Older and younger generations are fighting to be relevant and leave a legacy behind, and in that clash they misunderstand each other. They see each other as threats, when at the end of the day, we all want the same thing - to belong and to be respected. Resources Faremouth.com

In today's episode, we chat with https://www.linkedin.com/in/roncarucci/ (Ron Carucci). Ron is co-founder and managing partner at Navalent, having 35 years of experience working with CEOs and executives pursuing transformational change for their organizations, leaders, and industries, he has helped some of the world's most influential executives tackle challenges of strategy, organization, and leadership. From start-ups to Fortune 10's. He is also a bestselling author of 9 books. Recently, the award-winning book, "https://www.amazon.com/Be-Honest-Power-Justice-Purpose/dp/1398600660 (To Be Honest: Lead with the Power of Truth, Justice and Purpose)" was selected by Bloomberg Businessweek as one of 2021's Best Books. Ron and his team did a 15-year longitudinal study of more than 3,200 leaders. These included thought leaders, scholars, and world-class leaders. He wanted to give people hope that there are organizations and leaders out there living the things they want, modeling and behaving in the ways we long to experience. They aimed to understand what conditions make people lie, cheat and serve their own interests first. He thought, if he could predict/isolate the conditions that make people dishonest, then he could proliferate the conditions that produce honest behavior, and prevent the conditions that produce dishonest behavior? Based on that, Ron shared four conditions within organizations that tell us how the story's going to go. These 4 conditions include: Companies need to have a clear identity. Companies all make promises in their missions, visions, values, brand promises, their purpose statements turn out that if those words are not real lived experiences within the organization, meaning they are three times more likely to have people be dishonest. Transparency & governance At a meeting, there is transparency in the exchange of ideas. People believe that their voices and ideas are welcomed and they matter. If they want to offer a dissenting view or an alternative interpretation of data, they are free to do so. This means the company is three and a half times more likely to have people be honest and tell the truth. Accountability If the systems of how you measure and talk about contribution are seen as fair and dignified. Everyone has as much chance of being successful as anybody else. This means, if the systems are seen as fair dignified, people are four times more likely to have people be honest. Cross-functional rivalries Across companies, every system/department has healthy tensions in it, but if those tensions have nowhere to go and conflict remains unresolved and people have nowhere to reconcile those seams, the company becomes fragmented. On the other hand, if there is coherence in that organization, if the seams are stitched well, then people are able to collaborate in a way to resolve decisions or conflicts. That means they are six-time likely to have people behave, honestly, because they are now part of the same story. In conclusion, Ron suggests this action: Taking your company's promise, or mission statement, or value statement, and asking your team hard questions such as “ How well do we embody this promise? How well do I embody this promise? If somebody followed us around with a video camera all day long and a day in the life of our team, could they use that video as a training program for this promise? Ask yourself, the hard question of who is your they? Who's the person in another department that you're required to collaborate with, that when you see them in the caller ID, you roll your eyes and go, oh, what do they want?
