Hochleistungskultur in Teams zu entwickeln und wie viele Führungskräfte diese (unbewusst) sabotierenHochleistungskultur klingt nach Sport, Medaillen und noch mehr Output. In der Tech-Realität endet es aber oft in Druck, KPI-Angst und Teams, die lieber schweigen, statt Probleme offen anzusprechen. Genau dann wird es gefährlich, weil wir scheinbar Performance steigern wollen, in Wahrheit aber psychologische Sicherheit abbauen und damit die Organisation in eine Angstzone schieben.In dieser Interview-Episode holen wir uns dafür Verstärkung von Philip Klasen-Schwidetzki, Coach und Organisationsentwickler sowie Gründer von Troody. Wir nutzen das Modell von Amy Edmondson, psychologische Sicherheit plus Accountability, und übersetzen es in den Alltag von Engineering Teams, Performance Management und Leadership. Du hörst, warum mehr Messen nicht automatisch besser ist, wie du Ziele sauber rahmst, wie Caring und Daring Leadership zusammengehören und welche Sabotagemuster Führungskräfte häufig triggern, zum Beispiel Verantwortung an sich ziehen, Konflikte zu schnell entscheiden oder Teams in eine Komfortzone oder Angstzone kippen lassen.Zum Mitnehmen gibt es Kontrollfragen für ein Selbstassessment, konkrete Formulierungen für Mandate und Pushback im Middle Management, plus ein paar sehr alltagstaugliche Mikrosituationen, die über Team Performance entscheiden.Bonus: Am Ende wartet sogar ein kostenloses Lernprogramm rund um Caring und Daring, Link in den Shownotes, aber nur, wenn du bis dahin nicht schon aus der Komfortzone weggedöst bist.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

In dieser besonderen LIVE-Aufnahme vom CULTiTALK trifft Host Georg Wolfgang auf Marcus Bingenheimer-Zimmermann, HR-Director und erfahrener Praktiker im Profifußball. Gemeinsam tauchen sie auf der Podcast Stage der New Work Evolution in die spannenden Parallelen zwischen Profifußball und Unternehmenskultur ein. Nach einem kurzen Rückblick auf die erste gemeinsame Folge und einer exklusiven Ankündigung ihres geplanten Buchprojekts diskutieren Georg Wolfgang und Marcus Bingenheimer-Zimmermann, wer eigentlich von wem lernen kann – Fußball oder Unternehmen.Ein zentrales Thema ist der Aberglaube im Fußball, den Marcus Bingenheimer-Zimmermann als hilfreiche Routine beschreibt, die Stress abbaut und Sicherheit gibt. Die beiden reflektieren, inwiefern Routinen, informelle Regeln und Glaubenssätze auch im Unternehmenskontext eine Rolle spielen – und wie wichtig die Fähigkeit zur Reflexion ist. Die Beiden beleuchten, wie Unternehmen von der Analyse- und Datenorientierung aus dem Fußball lernen können und wie stark ein gemeinsam gelebtes „Playbook“ sowie stringente Nachfolgeplanung zum Erfolg beitragen.Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf dem Umgang mit Stress, individueller Leistungsfähigkeit und Rollenklarheit – Themen, an denen der Fußball laut Marcus Bingenheimer-Zimmermann oft deutlich weiter ist als viele Unternehmen. Es wird klar, wie wichtig es im Unternehmensalltag wäre, Erfolge genauso zu feiern wie im Fußball, echte Meilensteine zu setzen und emotionale Bindung und Stolz im Team zu ermöglichen. Die beiden diskutieren, wie Empowerment und Verantwortungsübernahme wirklich gelebt werden können, anstatt dass die Führungskraft Aufgaben immer wieder an sich zieht.Das Gespräch steckt voller Impulse für all jene, die Unternehmenskultur und Leadership neu denken wollen – und Lust auf das angekündigte Buch machen! Alle Links zu Marcus Bingenheimer-Zimmermann:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcus-bingenheimer-zimmermann-4610b018b/Unternehmen: https://exxeta.com Alle Links zu Georg und dem Culturizer:Georg: https://www.linkedin.com/in/georg-wolfgangCulturizer: https://culturizer.appCULTiTALK: https://cultitalk.de

Ever feel like your team has more to give—and you can't quite unlock it? We dig into the uncomfortable truth that many leaders become bottlenecks without meaning to, then map a path to becoming a catalyst who unlocks energy, ownership, and momentum. With award-winning leadership and high performance coach Tracy Clark, we examine why strategy and skills (the “trunk”) only go so far, and how deeper work in mindset, self-awareness, and identity (the “roots”) drives real, sustained results.Tracy shows how to close the gap between intention and impact by starting in the mirror. We get tactical about identity—moving from “think differently” to “be differently”—through immersive play, a one-line identity anchor like “I am a determined catalyst,” and a simple pre-meeting reset that shifts your state on demand. We also unpack her three-part definition of play as intense curiosity, radical open-mindedness, and proactive experimentation. Expect practical moves: rule-flipping core assumptions, designing low-risk tests, and letting silence do the work so your team steps up.The conversation goes beyond personal change to collective momentum. We explore how to create a “team of catalysts” with shared behaviors that make independent thinking normal: surfacing tensions early, challenging assumptions weekly, shipping small experiments fast, and measuring learning alongside results. Along the way we connect empathy and deep listening to performance, drawing on ideas popularized by Chris Voss and the enduring truth that people remember how you make them feel.If you're ready to trade control for trust, certainty for curiosity, and busyness for leverage, this one's for you. Listen, choose your one-word identity for the week, and try the catalyst experiment in your next meeting.

Part 2 of 2! How do you know if your team is doing a good job? In this second part of a two-part series, we bring together leaders from medicine, the military, and crisis response to explore what team performance really means — and how to measure it beyond outcomes.

SummaryIn this episode, Demetrius, Lance, and Ron reunite to discuss the current state of their favorite sports teams, the recent coaching changes in the NFL, and the attractive job opportunities available. They also dive into their fantasy sports experiences, share a humorous segment called 'Crime of the Week' featuring Druski's latest parody, and express excitement for J. Cole's upcoming album.

When tension spikes, leaders don't rise to the occasion; they fall to their default. Today we dig into those defaults with Bill Benjamin, co-author of The Last 8%, and unpack why smart, well-intentioned people either blow up or go quiet when it matters most—and how to do better without losing your edge.We start by naming the two patterns that quietly define culture under pressure: the messmaker who reacts with heat and the avoider who retreats to keep the peace. Bill explains the brain science behind both, from cortisol searing memories to the fear of social judgment that feels like physical pain. That lens changes everything: people remember you in the hard moments, not the easy ones. So we get practical. Bill shares SOS—Stop, Oxygenate, Seek information—as a simple, reliable way to step out of fight-or-flight, regain working memory, and turn certainty into curiosity. Small moves like a sip of water, open palms, or one deep breath can buy the six seconds you need to choose a better response.We then move into preparation for planned hard conversations. Clarify the exact last 8 percent you must say, set a positive intention that signals safety, and ask open questions so the other person talks first. You'll hear why many people self-diagnose if given space, how to draw out their last 8 percent, and how to model being coachable without giving up standards. We close with tactics to reset a reputation: share your growth edge with genuine vulnerability, invite real-time cues from your team, and follow up to measure progress. The result is a culture where people trade ego for empathy, certainty for curiosity, and silence for shared truth.If this sparked an insight, share it with one person who needs it. Subscribe on YouTube or your favorite podcast app, and leave a quick review to help more leaders find the show. Which are you under pressure—messmaker or avoider—and what last 8 percent will you tackle this week?

Show NotesBased on the article: Leaders Don't Fix People. Leaders Fix the EnvironmentIn this episode of the Emergency Management Network Podcast, we explore a simple idea that carries profound implications for leadership in emergency management and beyond: Leaders don't fix people. Leaders fix the environment.Inspired by the work and insights of L. David Marquet, this conversation challenges the instinct many leaders have to correct, manage, or “repair” individuals. Instead, we focus on how great leaders shape the conditions in which people can succeed. Culture, trust, clarity of mission, psychological safety, and decision authority matter far more than control or micromanagement.In emergency management, the environment we create determines how teams perform under stress. It influences whether people speak up, take initiative, admit uncertainty, and adapt when plans collide with reality. When leaders build environments that encourage ownership and responsibility, they unlock capacity that no amount of supervision can create.We discuss how fixing the environment means:* Designing systems that support good decision-making* Replacing permission with intent* Shifting from control to trust* Creating space for learning, accountability, and growth* Recognizing that leadership is less about authority and more about stewardshipThis episode connects leadership philosophy to real-world emergency management practice, from EOC operations to planning teams to organizational culture. If you want stronger performance, better morale, and more resilient teams, start by asking not “What's wrong with my people?” but “What kind of environment have I created?”Because when the environment is right, people don't need fixing. They thrive.TagsLeadership, Emergency Management Leadership, Organizational Culture, L David Marquet, Turn the Ship Around, Trust and Empowerment, EOC Leadership, High Reliability Organizations, Psychological Safety, Crisis Leadership, Team Performance, Professional Development, EMN Podcast This is a public episode.

Welcome to episode #1013 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). At a time when organizations are wrestling with fractured cultures, hybrid work, and teams struggling to stay connected, it helps to learn from someone who has spent three decades proving that collaboration is not a personality trait but a designed environment, which is why this episode turns to the work of Vanessa Druskat, an award-winning researcher, educator at the University of New Hampshire, and one of the world's leading experts on team emotional intelligence. Vanessa has devoted her career to understanding how teams actually function in the real world, conducting years of field research inside global companies, university systems, and high-pressure environments to uncover the norms, habits, and emotional cues that separate high-performing groups from those that merely coexist. She is a pioneer of the Team Emotional Intelligence (Team EI) model, a framework now used by leaders around the world to build team cultures rooted in shared understanding, psychological safety, and constructive emotional expression. Her latest book, The Emotionally Intelligent Team - Building Collaborative Groups That Outperform The Rest, anchors this conversation and brings together decades of research showing that great teams are not the inevitable result of great individuals but the product of intentional cultures that enable people to listen, challenge, support, and adapt together. In our discussion, Vanessa explores the evolution of emotional intelligence in the workplace, the persistent resistance to emotional concepts in both academia and business, and the growing gap between individual achievement systems and the collective realities of modern work. She explains why leaders must think more like coaches, why norms matter more than personalities, how remote work demands more deliberate emotional connection, and why teams must continually review and recalibrate their dynamics to sustain high performance. Drawing on insights from social neuroscience, organizational psychology, and global fieldwork, she shows how belonging, shared understanding, and a sense of influence are not "soft skills" but hard prerequisites for collaboration in an increasingly polarized and distracted world.

How to unlock the power of groups through collective communication.They say teamwork makes the dream work. But as Colin Fisher knows, unlocking the power of groups requires a specific kind of collective communication.Fisher is an associate professor of organizations and innovation at University College London School of Management and author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. His research reveals the dichotomy of group dynamics: "Groups can be the pinnacle of human accomplishment," he says. "But groups also have these tendencies to restrict us, to take away our individuality, and to sometimes make us the worst versions of ourselves.” The key, he argues, is fostering communication that maximizes the creative synergy of collaboration while minimizing the pressure to conform.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fisher joins host Matt Abrahams to share evidence-based strategies for effective teamwork, from selecting the ideal group size to fostering psychological safety. Whether with our coworkers, our families, or our friends, Fisher's insights reveal how collective communication can make or break group success.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Colin FisherColin's Book: The Collective EdgeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful MomentsEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings   Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:19) - Advantages and Disadvantages of Groups (03:53) - What Makes Teams Successful (05:37) - The Ideal Group Size (06:33) - Building Psychological Safety (08:49) - Launching a Team for Success (13:10) - Making Meetings More Effective (16:25) - The Final Three Questions (23:13) - Conclusion   ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.
