Podcasts about San Diego International Airport

Kim Becker, President and CEO of the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority, is leading a bold transformation at the San Diego International Airport—starting from the inside out. We explored how she's intentionally cultivating a culture that supports change, empowers leaders at every level, and aligns with a fast-evolving environment. Coming out of the pandemic, Kim knew the way they worked had shifted. Rather than revert to what was, she saw the opportunity to design something stronger.We heard how she started with the executive team and expanded the conversation across directors and managers—uncovering surprising gaps and building a shared culture statement together. We've seen how she uses everyday team meetings and real-life moments to embed new leadership mindsets, from listening to thoughtful decision-making. It's not a program. It's a way of thinking and working that's now infused into coaching conversations, strategy sessions, and hallway chats. Her story reminds us that culture change doesn't require sweeping declarations—it starts with intention, consistency, and the courage to have real conversations.Key Takeaways:1. Culture Grows from the Inside - Start with leadership alignment but let the full team help shape and own the culture.2. Empowerment Changes Everything - When mid-level leaders are trusted and included, they bring energy and clarity that transforms the whole.3. Real Conversations Matter - Culture shifts happen when we're brave enough to name gaps, share reactions, and stay at the table.4. Make Mindsets Practical - Embedding culture happens when values become part of everyday language, meetings, and habits.5. Start with You - Culture change begins with modeling what you want others to adopt—even before you announce it.Resources MentionedThe Inspire Your Team to Greatness assessment (the Courage Assessment)How can you inspire our team to be more proactive, take ownership and get more done?You demonstrate and empower The Courage of a Leader.
