Podcast appearances and mentions of victor bohnert

Today's guest is Victor Bohnert, CEO of Innovatis Group, an association management company that has leaned into the human side of building a vibrant workplace culture, based around entrepreneurial energy, fun, and hard work. The growth of Innovatis Group can be attributed to Victor's leadership, as he has fostered a culture where his team can feel like owners, be creative, fail, learn, grow, and have fun doing it. Uncertainty is a daunting unknown that can paralyze, but Victor encourages his team to stay mentally and strategically sharp by demanding the instability that comes with trying new things - no different from the anxiety that comes when a comedian tries a new joke. Victor's values and actions making Innovatis Group a Top Workplace two years running proves that you CAN laugh at work. In this episode, we talk about: -What separates Innovatis from competitors. -Bringing people together to form a sense of community through two-way dialogue. -Making the big seem small. -Belief in the power of the collective experience, knowledge, and power of an organization or community. -How employee behavior drives engagement strategy. -Demanding instability in the environment to stay mentally and strategically sharp through the trust and support of the team. -Incorporating fun into instability. -How fun ends up being work when incorporating it into a virtual setting. -The question of engagement as the organization grows – how many dogs in the office is too many? -How a very serious Zoom meeting turned silly. -Laughter as an outcome of creating a culture of engagement and joy. -Turning fear of uncertainty into momentum.
