Sacred Conversations about WorkEpisode 10 On this bonus episode, host Carol Ross speaks again with Bryan Ungard, Chief Purpose Officer for Decurion Management Company. Bryan unpacks a common misconception about how to establish a flourishing company culture; rather than developing policies and practices from on high and expecting results, it is necessary to look deeper into what a flourishing culture is based upon, the structures and processes. It requires a broadening of awareness on an individual level, this awareness makes decisions responsive to the emotional well being of the group as well as traditional business maneuvering. The specific practices designed to shape the culture are effective only when refined and resting atop the structures and process that form the culture of the company. Bryan’s insights into business success are based upon 30 years of management experience and they are profound; listen to learn about the proper use of “I” statements, the true definition of vulnerability and the emotional skills necessary for long term success.

What does it mean for a company to flourish? Profits alone aren’t enough according to Bryan Ungard Chief Purpose Officer for Decurion Management Company; the personal development of the human beings that compose a company are of equal importance. Bryan is working to reshape the relationship between employees and their company to the benefit of all. The traditional outlook is transactional, the worker is a means to another’s ends. Bryan’s job is to operate the business so there is no tradeoff between excellent business performance and human flourishing; by investing in an employee or member’s development beyond simply job training is how a business flourishes. Listen as Bryan and Carol explore the concept of an authentic human community and as Bryan lays out the four axioms for crafting a meaningful, sacred space for personal and business growth. Bryan has more than 30 years of experience in technology, business, and organizational transformation.  He started his career as an IT systems developer, designer, and architect. He co-founded and served for more than 15 years as partner and principal consultant of Silenus Group, a systems integration firm that provided systems and services to companies such as IBM, Ford, La-Z-Boy, and Caterpillar, in addition to numerous small and medium-sized businesses.  After Silenus Group, he consulted in the healthcare industry and began his practice in organizational transformation. Bryan received his bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Hiram College and his Masters of Business Administration from the University of Michigan.

He explains how if employees aren’t receiving what they need emotionally from their workplace then it creates a dysfunctional and unproductive relationship.

In the inaugural episode, host Carol Ross interviews the remarkable General Manager of the Four Seasons Resort in Punta Mita, Mexico. John O’Sullivan: poet, artist, traveler and management guru reveals his compassionate, and innovative leadership philosophy. Through heartfelt anecdotes and insightful reflection, the witty Irish hotelier offers a profound glimpse into what motivates us as employees and managers. To John, "failure is one step on the way to success." With this in mind, he has established a zero blame culture at his hotel because he believes that providing a safe space for his employees to express their creativity is fundamental to success in any organization. The trust John places in his employees is earnestly reciprocated due to his emphasis on managerial consistency, articulated boundaries, and apolitical communication. All of these concepts are parsed in depth on this episode.

One of my hobbies is looking at what successful people do and breaking that down to its parts, looking for commonalities. One of the traits that I see show up often among high achievers is that they have a "daily practice", if you will, that revolves around making themselves better. It may not be directly related to their chosen field (although sometimes it is), but there's something they do every day or nearly every day that improves them. Some meditate. Some practice music. Some go for a daily walk. Some have elaborate rituals while others have a daily cup of coffee and read the same sections of the newspaper. Regardless of what that practice is, choosing it with intention and implementing your own version of it will help anchor you and your success. My own version, which I'll be releasing soon, nails down these components a little more, but really who am I to tell you how to implement your own daily practice? Just find something that resonates with you and do it, every day.
