What is the culture of your organization? It’s a fair question and can be puzzling. We attribute an unengaged workforce or misalignment of values to the culture. Yet, we seem to fall short of building the culture we want. Mario Moussa and Derek Newberry are the authors of The Culture Puzzle: Harnessing the Forces That Drive Your Organization’s Success. They share with Kevin that, too often, we think of culture as an afterthought. We share our vision, build the team, and then create the culture. However, culture happens when you put the people together. Culture is about the stories. Culture is dynamic and fluid and can change overnight (just think back to March 2020). They share the four forces that drive culture: vision, interest, habit, and innovation. They also recognize that anyone can influence culture.

In this episode, Mario and Derek discuss

1. Anthropology and organizational culture.
2. Misconceptions about culture.
3. 4 forces that drive culture.
4. Thoughts about culture in a post pandemic world.

Are you exhausted? Maybe you are feeling a bit cynical? These can be signs of burnout. Paula Davis defines burnout as the manifestation over time of chronic workplace stress. Paula is the author of BEATING BURNOUT AT WORK: Why Teams Hold the Secret to Well-Being and Resilience. She tells Kevin that pre-pandemic, we were suffering high levels of burnout and, it has only accelerated during the pandemic. Although we typically associate burnout at the individual level, Davis suggests that this is an organizational issue. Leaders first need to recognize their role in causing or preventing burnout. You can influence change at the team level, where leaders can do small things that create a culture of well-being.

In this episode, Paula:

1. Differentiates burnout vs. stress.
2. Shares why team are the secret.
3. Talks about how to diagnose burnout.

I’m willing to bet that every day, we spend some amount of time waiting.

Waiting on hold. Waiting on our food order. Waiting for our kids to get off the bus. Waiting, waiting, waiting.

And I recently observed a group of people who were waiting for quite a long time. In this episode, I’ll share some valuable leadership lessons that I learned from this waiting.

Are you executing or are you busy? Jim Huling suggests we all struggle with execution, both personally and professionally. Jim is the global managing consultant for the 4 Disciplines of Execution® practice and co-author of the book by the same name, now in its second edition. Jim shares the 4 disciplines – Focus, Leverage, Engagement, and Accountability – and ideas you can use to implement them. Too often, teams get caught up in the whirlwind of urgent activity to keep things going. Taking the time to understand your strategic priorities and doing things with consistency and excellence will take you to the next level.

In this episode, Jim:

1. Elaborates on the 4 Disciplines of Execution.
2. Discusses Leading with authenticity vs. leading with heart.

Do you want an engaged team? Do you want a happy team? It’s safe to say, if your organization/team is engaged, there is greater productivity, profitability, and customer service. Eric Karpinski suggests if you want to engage your team, focus on happiness. Eric is an expert in positive psychology and the author of Put Happiness to Work: 7 Strategies to Elevate Engagement for Optimal Performance. He shares with Kevin we have a biological need to be connected to others and shares practical applications to increase happiness and engagement. It’s important to note that not all happiness drives engagement. You need to find the strategies that motivate your team for certain types of happiness and there is not a one size fits all. Don’t focus on the outcome. Find the strategy that works for your team.

In this episode, Eric discusses:

1. The connection between happiness and engagement.
2. Putting stress to work.
3. Gratuitous negative emotions.

Help. One syllable, four letters, and hard to ask. Chester Elton suggests asking for help doesn’t mean you have given up. It’s just the opposite. Chester is the co-author of the New York Times and #1 USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling leadership books, All In, The Carrot Principle, and The Best Team Wins. His latest book, with Adrian Gostick, is Anxiety at Work: 8 Strategies to Help Teams Build Resilience, Handle Uncertainty, and Get Stuff Done. He joins Kevin to talk about the #1 issue in the workplace, anxiety. Over the past few years, more people are reporting anxiety at work and leaving jobs for mental health reasons. Chester explains there is a generational difference in dealing with anxiety, and younger generations are more comfortable discussing this. Chester shares strategies for leaders at any level to help normalize the conversation and build trust with your team.

In this episode, Chester talks about

1. Anxiety levels.
2. The pandemic’s effect on leaders.
3. Being an ally at work.
4. The responsibility of a leader in mental health.

People are celebrating something every day – birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, graduations and more.

But have you ever stopped to think about WHY you celebrate? The purpose or reason for the celebration?

Join me in this episode to explore this important question, and also the importance of “little c” celebrations.

Do your words convey both your message and your meaning? Whether we are leading an organization, a team, or part of a household, this is important. For Krister Ungerböck, this became apparent when he was teaching a course in French. Feedback suggested he should never come back again, and he realized it came down to language and the words. Krister is the Wall Street Journal best-selling author of 22 Talk SHIFTs: Tools to Transform Leadership in Business, in Partnership, and in Life, which is the result of leading teams in 3 languages and building businesses on 5 continents. Krister provides examples of how we can shift our conversations to increase engagement and lead to better solutions.

In this episode, Krister discusses:

1. The directness of language.
2. When to give feedback.
3. Advice for remote leaders.

On the day that we release this video, it’s just about the middle of the year. But whether you’re watching this video in June or you’re watching it in November, it is a very valuable practice to do a process check. A process check is an opportunity to get out of the day to day activity, look at your progress and consider how you are doing things right now as a way to see what’s working and what’s not.

In this episode, I’ll share actionable tips for how to effectively do a process check in your life.

Tweet it out: Sometimes it is hard to gauge progress when we are doing the work. A process check will help you see where you are, how far you have come, and perhaps help you adjust your course forward. @KevinEikenberry

Pivot may have been the 2020 word of the year. For Jordan Babineaux, though, it is about changing directions and looking for new opportunities. Jordan is a former NFL player turned sports broadcaster, entrepreneur, and author of Pivot to Win. He discusses choices and the simple concept of just asking for what we want. Although you may not get what you asked for, you get the opportunity to grow and go through adversity with confidence. He also draws parallels between the teams we lead and professional football teams. Leaders need to be specific in their communication and set clear expectations.

In this episode, Jordan talks to Kevin about:

1. Fixed vs. growth mindset.
2. Cultivating persistence.
3. Coaching lessons from coaches.

Trust is a relationship, and we know how to do relationships. So, why does earning and keeping trust seem like a mystery? Sandra Sucher is a trust researcher and professor of management practice at Harvard Business School. She is also the co-author, with Shalene Gupta, of The Power of Trust: How Companies Build it, Lose it and Regain it.

Their research shows trust can be measured and there are concrete actions any company can take to ensure it gains the trust of its employees, leading to greater trust with customers. Sandra also shares the worst trust killer is layoffs and leaders must find a way to manage workplace change.

In this episode, Sandra discusses:

1. Trust build from the inside out.
2. The 4 elements of trust.

Innovation. Is it creativity? Is it disruption? Is it personal or organizational? It can be all of that and more. Josh Linkner joins Kevin to discuss innovation and a growth mindset. Josh is the author of Big Little Breakthroughs: How small, everyday innovations drive oversized results. and shares that research shows our brain is not fixed. We can develop our innovative skills. Innovation doesn’t have to be big or brand new. We can cultivate small ideas, which are less risky and more accessible. We can also innovate around the outcomes we are already doing. Small adjustments can make a big difference.

In this episode, Josh shares:

1. The difference between offensive and defensive innovation.
2. The 70/30 rule.
3. How our environment plays a role in innovation.

Accountability is one of those words that everyone has thoughts and feelings about.

I’ve been known to call it the longest 4 letter word in the dictionary.

And when I am asked to define or describe it in my workshops and coaching sessions, I can do so with one word.

Find out my simple definition of accountability (as well as how to be more accountable) in this episode.

There is no overnight success. However, there is hustle. DC Glenn is a platinum-selling rapper, actor, voice-over professional and featured in Geico’s “SCOOP THERE IT IS” commercial. DC shares with Kevin that his path to stardom was rather bumpy. He worked hard to get a label and signed a terrible contract. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he studied the law and waited for his day in court. This continuous learning attitude and preparedness for new ventures gave him the chance to not only star in the #1 commercial but provide input to the content. Sprinkles, anyone? He encourages us to step out of our comfort zone and be OK with things that don’t work out. Failures can lead to good things if we look for the opportunity.

In this episode, DC talks about:

1. Learning how to learn.
2. Value of preparation.

What is the ROI of leadership development in your organization? Organizations invest a good deal of both time and money in training, yet we find the return dismally low. If this is the case, should we bother with development activities? Jennifer Mackin is the author of Leaders Deserve Better: A Leadership Development Revolution and a leader of two consulting firms. Jennifer shares with Kevin that the principles of leadership hold, and we don’t have a problem with the content. However, we do need to change how we leverage the new learning and create a culture where folks can put their new learning into play. In addition, we need to have a people plan to connect with our strategic plan and continue the learning beyond an event.

In this episode, Jennifer shares:

1. Thoughts on the leadership development problem.
2. The 4 drivers of leadership development success.
3. Thoughts on the use of an external coach.

One of my mentors has said repeatedly to me: Little hinges swing big doors.

Stated a little differently, he was telling me that little things matter in big ways.

Another common phrase that I’ve heard multiple times is: Don’t sweat the small stuff.

I understand the sentiment, and there are some little things we don’t need to sweat, but I really love this idea from Bruce Barton: “Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things . . . I am tempted to think . . . there are no little things.”

In this episode, I’ll unpack this paradox and say a little more about the idea between little hinges and big doors.

We recognize that growth requires moving away from the status quo. Yet, how do you know what to change? Melanie Parish suggests it’s OK to experiment and collect data to decide what to do next. Melanie is the author of The Experimental Leader: Be a New Kind of Boss to Cultivate an Organization of Innovators. She joins Kevin to discuss this mindset shift to be experimental in problem-solving. When we can test assumptions and analyze the results, we can decide how to handle challenges and opportunities within our organizations and teams. We should expect failures; it is the small failures that provide good data. The big failures may be a result of doing too much, too soon.

In this episode, Melanie discusses:

1. A scientist’s approach to leadership.
2. Best practices and experimentation.
3. Failure and experimentation.

Fake it until you make it. This may work to help you overcome some insecurities, public speaking, for example. However, if you fake it too long, whether this is your experience, next quarter’s numbers, etc., the truth will come out. Sabrina Horn tells Kevin that integrity is not optional. She is the author of Make it, Don’t Fake it – Leading with Authenticity for Real Business Success. She acknowledges it can be lonely at the top and even if you are making all the decisions, you don’t have to know it all. When you can admit what you don’t know or that you made a mistake, you level the playing field for your team and build a culture of trust and growth.

In this episode, Sabrina discusses:

1. The good and bad of faking it.
2. Leadership authenticity.
3. Leadership loneliness.
4. Leadership self-care.

When I think of the word tradition, I instantly think of the song “Tradition” in one of my favorite plays The Fiddler on the Roof.

And while when we talk about traditions, we are often talking about them in the context of holidays or celebrations and the things we do to commemorate them, in the context of this video, I’m talking specifically about traditions at work.

As many of us transition back to the workplace or adjust to a hybrid scenario or are looking at a completely unknown future, re-evaluating your traditions is a really useful exercise. In this episode, I’ll provide some questions to ask and some ideas to consider to help ensure that the traditions you are either returning to or are continuing to observe are useful and actually feed you.
