What makes culture so powerful, and why do so many organizations get it wrong? Kevin sits down with organizational psychologist Laura Hamill to discuss the disconnect between the practice of culture and the science of culture. Laura defines culture not just as what's visible on the surface, but as the underlying "collective set of reasons why" behaviors occur in organizations. She explains why leaders must bridge the gap between aspirational values and actual workplace experiences and introduces the concept of cultural betrayal. The discussion also covers the difference between culture and climate, the role of middle managers in operationalizing values, and how behaviors and norms shape what is truly valued in the workplace.

Episode 89: Hiba Khaled & Leadership on the Line: Staying Alive Through the Dangers of Leading by Ronald A. Heifetz & Martin Linsky ABOUT HIBA Dr. Hiba Khaled is a co-founder of Embers, a consulting and coaching firm helping individuals and organizations recover from burnout to achieve healthy high performance. With a background in medicine and leadership training at Harvard under the mentorship of Professors Ron Heifetz and Tim O'Brien, she has dedicated her career to helping individuals and organizations achieve success from a place of health. A survivor of burnout herself, Hiba is on a mission to balance performance with well-being. When she's not busy transforming lives, you can find her out in nature, drinking tea, or diving into a good book. CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS What work-life balance really is. What "I'm fully there" means. The power of your Flow state. "What is the ecosystem within you first before you can think about the ecosystem outside of you?" How stress can manifest in us. "Be of service, be of service, be of service." A story showing..."You can make a small difference...you don't have to make a huge change." An example of how being destabilized can be good for you. Doing what you need to do, despite it feeling like a loss to or disappointment by others. Why Hiba doesn't subscribe to using the word "leader." What it means to "exercise leadership." The difference between a technical challenge and an adaptive challenge. Why leadership means asking someone (or a group) to sustain losses. What it means to "manage your hungers." Renegotiating loyalties to ancestors to work toward solutions today. The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Hiba is, How can we adapt to the outside world and avoid its usual repercussions by instead first doing the deep work internally within ourselves?

On this episode, we discuss racism, justice, and the church in our current climate. With Pastor Ron Sydney and Pastor Terrance Taylor. We dig deep and look at the effects that the current climate is having on people, and why what is happening today is different than what has happened in the past. You aren't going to want to miss this episode, there is some very valuable discussion. Join me as I talk with the two past Revive Youth Rally Keynote speakers. And we dig into this very important issue. Book Recommendations:Leadership on the Line - by Ronald A.

In this episode, Tim has a conversation with Froswa’ Booker-Drew. Froswa believes that Social Capital is critical and spends her days weaving people together via networking and connecting. Booker-Drew is a relational leadership junkie. Relationships, when cultivated well, are powerful and transformative. Tim and Froswa’ keep it real and go deep with real-life challenges that keep people from experiencing true growth, connections, and engagement. Enjoy! THE CONVERSATION: Growing up in the deep south How she didn’t stay ‘STUCK’ as a child with limited resources and lack of opportunities How her relationships and family helped her see there is more out there beyond ‘LUCK’ Which is greater, your own power or privilege? Life can be ‘Both-And …’ Thoughts on: Opinions, Beliefs, and Values The importance of finding spaces of reflection and feedback loops The problem with not letting people hurt and feel pain Being on the balcony and being on the dancefloor (The Practice of Adaptive Leadership by Ronald A. Heifetz) Understanding that people are not machines and they need to be the totality of who they are Learning to be still in silence. The Silence Retreat We are not human ‘DOERS’ we are human ‘BEINGS’ Replacing the technology connections with real face-to-face conversations The struggle people have to identify and share the descriptors of who they are beyond the surface or obvious The lost desire for CURIOSITY and INNOVATION People are creating but not being creative The power of saying, I AM and what it’s paired with Overcomplicating things that are simple Examining your own narrative What do you focus on? Are you the common denominator in less than desired situations and circumstances? The value of openness and vulnerability An UPHILL challenge Froswa’ experienced and what she did to overcome RESOURCES: Rules of Engagement by Froswa Booker-Drew Videos of Dr. Froswa’ Booker-Drew BOOK REFERENCES: Walk on Water by Madeline L’Engle From Here to There by Don Miguel Ruiz CONNECT WITH THANE: Website: froswasrules.com LinkedIn:in/froswabookerdrew Twitter: @Froswa ABOUT FROSWA: Dr. Froswa’ Booker-Drew Vice President, Community Affairs and Strategic Alliances at State Fair of Texas® I am intrigued by relationships, particularly building networks to address issues in organizations...
