From Zocdoc to Cascade, COO Anna Elwood breaks down the systems, rhythms, and AI tools that turn chaos into execution. In this episode of Between Two COOs, Michael sits down with Anna Elwood, COO of Cascade, the strategy-execution platform helping companies turn plans into results.Anna shares how she evolved from Broadway actor to operator, scaling companies like Zocdoc, Knotel, and Teachable before joining Cascade to build the muscle of strategy execution. She explains how to create an “operating rhythm” that keeps teams aligned across time zones, the tension between governance and red tape, and how Cascade helps leaders link vision to measurable execution.The conversation dives deep into AI's role in operations, the future of hybrid work, and what it takes to move from chaos to clarity in a global startup. Anna's storytelling — especially her account of leading through Superstorm Sandy — highlights what real-time operational leadership looks like when everything goes sideways. Timestamps00:00 – Intro & sponsor01:00 – The chaos of Superstorm Sandy02:00 – Anna's journey: from theater to tech06:00 – The making of a generalist10:00 – Joining Cascade and fixing retention11:00 – Creating a “working rhythm”14:00 – Governance vs. red tape17:00 – The 5 pillars of strategic maturity19:00 – Turning strategy into execution24:00 – How Cascade uses AI internally28:00 – OKRs, KPIs, and strategy frameworks33:00 – Who owns strategy?36:00 – Rebuilding a business overnight43:00 – Closing thoughts Between Two COO's - https://betweentwocoos.com Episode Website - https://betweentwocoos.com/anna-elwood-coo-cascadeAnna Elwood on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/annaelwoodMichael Koenig on LinkedIn - https://linkedin.com/in/michael-koenig514 

In this episode, Krista White, coauthor of Culture Design and cofounder of Culture Design Lab explains how leaders can treat culture as a strategic lever rather than an HR initiative.  1. Culture is inseparable from strategy Krista stresses that culture cannot be treated as background. It determines whether strategic plans survive contact with execution. “We were noticing that there was a gap in people knowing how to connect culture with strategy. Our hope is that this book serves as a practical guide.” Leaders who design culture deliberately create alignment and resilience. Those who ignore it risk drift and underperformance. 2. Leadership presence remains essential Digital tools cannot replace visible leadership. “Everyone should be able to get five minutes with you. The CEO should not be a high on a hill person who is not reachable.” Walking the floor and observing frontline conditions show employees what leadership values. 3. Rituals make values real Rituals translate values into behavior. “The rituals that stick are the ones tied directly to your business model and purpose not borrowed from another industry.” 4. Resistance is part of the process Cultural change often meets skepticism. Krista advises leaders to treat adoption like marketing. “Think of it like marketing. You need many touches before someone clicks buy. Culture change requires consistency and repetition.” Consistency reduces resistance. 5. Context shapes culture Best practices cannot be copied blindly. “I used to think there was one right way for culture to look. I learned it is industry and context dependent.” The principle is to design culture that fits your strategy and market position. 6. Leadership lessons that endure Krista learned two lessons from her father James White that remain relevant for executives Discipline and preparation: “Practice makes perfect.” Balance and resilience: Never sacrificing family relationships even under pressure. 7. A broader leadership mission Krista frames her work around freedom and engagement. “My why is to do my part in creating a freer and more joyful world for everyone. For me that is through storytelling.” Organizations perform best when employees can bring their full selves to work.  

In this compelling episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli is joined by one of the most sought-after advisors to Fortune 100 CEOs and boards—Ram Charan. Named “the most influential consultant alive” by Fortune, Charan draws on decades of boardroom experience and over 30 books—Execution, What the CEO Wants You to Know, The Amazon Management System, and more—to offer a timely and provocative leadership lens.As the global environment becomes permanently uncertain, Charan urges leaders to stop relying on outdated models of strategy and execution. Instead, he argues, CEOs must build adaptive systems—grounded in real-time data, rapid decision-making, and leadership accountability. And if you're still thinking of AI as a support tool rather than a core business model, you may already be falling behind.Throughout the conversation, Charan shares why execution—not strategy decks—is the true differentiator of high-performing organizations. He explains how to identify and elevate the top 2% of talent that drive exponential value. And he doesn't shy away from calling out boards that repeatedly miss critical cues in CEO succession and pivot capability.This episode is essential listening for CEOs, senior executives, and board leaders who want a sharper edge in today's environment. If you're ready to rethink how your organization operates—and leads—in real time, Ram Charan offers a clear-eyed, actionable framework that cuts through the noise.Actionable Takeaways:Hear why Ram Charan believes uncertainty is now the default—and what that means for how leaders must think and act.Learn why strategy without execution is useless, and what it takes to lead execution at the pace of change.Discover how AI is becoming a business model, not just a technology platform—and what CEOs must do to embrace this shift.You'll learn how to identify and invest in your top 2% of talent—those who drive outsized returns in an AI-powered world.Hear how to build real-time execution systems that outperform lagging, traditional performance reviews.Explore why CEO succession often fails—and what boards consistently overlook in evaluating pivot capability.Gain insight into why fast feedback loops and live dashboards are now essential for senior teams and boards alike.Hear how Ram Charan thinks about amplifying imagination through AI, and why efficiency alone isn't enough.Understand the behaviors that distinguish leaders who “get it” when it comes to execution, talent, and transformation.Connect with Ram CharanRam Charan Website Ram Charan LinkedIn Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

On this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, Steve Riley welcomes Dre Baldwin, former professional basketball player, prolific author, and founder of Work on Your Game Inc. Dre shares how his career was shaped not just on the court, but at home, where his parents modeled daily discipline and quiet resilience that made him “too stupid to quit.” From an early age, Dre watched his parents show up for their responsibilities, day in and day out, regardless of how they felt. That consistency became the foundation of his own mindset: showing up was non-negotiable. It's a lesson he carried into his athletic career and beyond. When he didn't get drafted into the NBA, Dre pivoted. He found another path—one that required just as much discipline, and just as much resilience. Rather than see setbacks as failures, Dre treated them as invitations to grow. He began documenting his process and sharing videos online—before content creation was even a buzzword. As he continued to show up, his audience grew. His approach resonated not just with athletes, but with entrepreneurs, business professionals, and attorneys—anyone striving for consistency in the face of pressure. In this episode, Dre shares how he built a global platform rooted in daily execution and mental discipline. He talks about how a professional mindset—distinct from an amateur one—is the key to long-term results. Dre also introduces key ideas from his latest book, The Third Day, where he breaks down how to keep showing up when motivation runs dry. If you've ever felt burned out, unmotivated, or unsure how to push through, this episode is a must-listen. Dre Baldwin's Work on Your Game philosophy is a reminder that success isn't a moment—it's a practice. In this episode, you will hear: Dre Baldwin's transition from professional basketball player to influential content creator and coach  Insights into the distinction between amateur and professional mindsets  The role of resilience and creativity in overcoming challenges and achieving success  The concept of “The Third Day” and its importance for consistent persistence and professional commitment  The application of sports discipline and resilience to everyday life and professional settings  The importance of personal development and using setbacks as opportunities for growth  Dre's approach to content creation and engaging with a diverse audience beyond sports Catch Dre Baldwin live at this year's Summit!

Send us a MessageIn this fourth of a series of planned quarterly episodes on Culture Change RX, host Sue engages with Ben Davis, President and CEO of Glencoe Regional Health, to discuss the ongoing transformational initiatives within his rural healthcare organization. As they mark the completion of the first year of Glencoe's “Experience Initiative,” they explore the concept of the 'whirlwind' in daily operations, the necessity of grit and perseverance in navigating change, and the significance of investing long term in people to foster a culture of growth and excellence in patient care.Investing in people is crucial for organizational success and quality patient care.Data tracking is important to measure progress and motivate change.Leadership development is one of the key focuses and a recent on-site leadership training achieved a high satisfaction rating by the leaders attending.The 'whirlwind' refers to the daily operational challenges that take time and energy and may distract from pro-active improvement and growth activities.Grit and perseverance are essential for successful change management.Adoption of new practices may take time, and at the one-year mark it is estimated that maybe only 10-15% of staff are currently engaged in these new initiatives which is right on target as to what could be expected at this point in the transformation.The journey of transformation is ongoing, requiring continuous effort and commitment.Missed earlier episodes in this series?

Why do technical experts often make poor change leaders? Roger Guerrero, Head of Enterprise Strategy Execution at Merck, challenges how organizations select and develop leaders in transformation environments. Drawing from his experience overseeing Merck's corporate strategy implementation, Roger explains why change leadership shouldn't be confined to specialized teams but embedded as a core expectation for all managers. He argues that companies over-index on technical expertise while undervaluing the ability to inspire and lead through change—creating what he calls a "silent killer" in organizations. Whether you're struggling with resistant middle managers or disconnected executives, Roger offers practical strategies for identifying and developing genuine change leadership beyond technical competence.----Connect with:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nellie Wartoft⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CEO of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tigerhall⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chair of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠nellie@tigerhall.com ----00.00 - Introduction 01:30 - Why change management shouldn't be limited to specialized teams03:45 - How technical industries often select leaders for technical expertise, not leadership ability05:20 - Why change leadership competencies should be core criteria in promotions07:10 - The problem with the "individual contributor to leader" career path09:15 - Creating dual career tracks for technical experts vs. leadership roles11:30 - How to identify people with natural change leadership abilities14:45 - Addressing the "this isn't my job" mindset in middle managers16:20 - Red flags that indicate poor change leadership potential19:40 - The evolving profile of effective senior leaders—from engineers to MBAs to motivators22:15 - Strategies for working around resistant leaders you can't replace24:30 - Handling resistance at the C-suite level27:15 - The importance of communication style in successful change initiatives29:35 - Why transparency and empathy are critical for change leadership----Breathe by RYGO | https://soundcloud.com/francesco-rigolonEverything You Need Is By Your Side by Vlad Gluschenko |Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons / Attribution 3.0 Unported License (CC BY 3.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US

Send us a MessageIn this episode of Culture Change RX, Sue Tetzlaff explores the critical relationship between culture and strategy execution in healthcare organizations. She introduces a strategy execution matrix that categorizes organizations based on their planning and execution capabilities. The discussion emphasizes the importance of aligning culture with execution to achieve organizational growth and success. Sue shares insights on how organizations can avoid stagnation and recklessness in their execution efforts, highlighting the significance of disciplined planning and follow-through. The episode concludes with success stories and a call to action for organizations to assess their execution strategies.Planning + Execution is required to build momentum for future-focused improvement and growth.Great planning efforts combined with effective execution systems helps organizations build momentum and achieve long term growth and improvement.Overplanning without execution keeps organizations stuck or stagnant.Without effective planning and execution systems, organizations are highly consumed with maintaining the status quo of the current day-to-day operations.Taking action without strategic direction can waste resources and time, and lessen the likelihood of a long term return on investment.Consider the Strategy Execution Matrix in light of your organization's planning and execution efforts.Need help improving the culture, performance, and results of your healthcare organization?
