Manage episode 424255048 series 3362183
This week’s episode revolves around leadership development, mission statements, and eliminating resignation in organizations. Our amazing speakers (yes, this week we have two guests) emphasize the importance of aligning purpose and empowerment to create a culture that resonates with employees and stakeholders. They also discuss various effective leadership and management strategies, including understanding individual team members' motivations and personal aspirations, prioritizing meaningful targets, and fostering a commitment to a higher purpose.
In this conversation, we also highlight the challenges of implementing these concepts in larger organizations and the need for intentionality and practical exercises in creating an exceptional culture.
ABOUT OUR GUESTS
Brad Zimmerman has been helping CEOs create exceptional cultures since 1992. He believes there is unlimited potential in the human spirit and that we all adopt beliefs that can limit our potential. Gaining access to this potential unleashes personal and organizational growth. He turned to organizational coaching more than 30 years ago following a successful career in sales and operations. Since then, he has helped over 10,000 leaders in businesses, nonprofits, and other organizations develop cultures that transform work environments so people grow and the organizations thrive.
Tom Willis is an organizational culture expert. He believes we are all born with unlimited potential. As a former classroom teacher, he also believes in the power of lifelong learning. These beliefs have shaped his primary goal in life: helping others uncover their talents so they can reach their potential. Prior to joining Phoenix, he had the great honor of serving as CEO for Cornerstone; a consultant with PricewaterhouseCoopers; and an engineer with the Intel Corporation. Along the way, he was fortunate to earn degrees from the University of Michigan and the University of Notre Dame (MBA). He thanks God every day for his amazing wife and three wonderful children.
