??? ?????? ?????? ???????????? ?????????? ????????: ?? ???????????????????? ?????????????? ?????????? Think your best employees leave for a bigger paycheck? Think again. More often, they leave due to leaders who only appear to uphold company values. In my recent conversation, HR expert Maggie Carrington —a pro with 35+ years in the field—reveals how surface-level culture alignment is driving great people out the door. She shared a story of a manager who was a master of “managing up,” creating a facade of unity and teamwork that leadership bought into fully. But underneath, their team was crumbling, frustrated by unmet promises and unaligned actions. This resonated deeply with me because I’ve seen it myself: culture is built in everyday actions, not in big mission statements or leadership meetings. It’s in the consistent, authentic behavior of leaders when nobody’s watching. Maggie’s insights bring it home: ?? Get to the “Why” – Leaders must dig into the real reasons behind disengagement, not just the visible symptoms. ?? Measure What Matters – Focusing on numbers is one thing, but are we measuring how our values are truly lived out? ??? Play the Long Game – Culture doesn’t shift overnight. It evolves through steady actions and authentic commitment. As an executive coach, I find Maggie’s approach both practical and powerful. Leadership isn’t about maintaining a polished image—it’s about fostering genuine alignment, especially when it’s difficult. ?? Curious about how to create real cultural impact?

Jerry Colonna, CEO of Reboot.io, is known as the CEO Whisperer and is a trusted guide for many of the tech industry's most influential founders and CEOs. His approach to leadership is built on the belief that to be better leaders and better people; we must create welcoming environments where everyone feels valued and has a sense of belonging. However, Jerry argues that before creating such environments, we must first confront our deep-seated need for belonging and examine how that need has often been left unfulfilled in our lives. ?? It is only by embracing vulnerability, cultivating self-awareness, and leading with emotional intelligence that we can truly understand and address our longing for belonging and, in turn, create the conditions for others to feel a sense of belonging within our organizations. ?? Jerry's work has profoundly influenced my thinking and approach to coaching CEOs, which is why it was such a pleasure to have him as a guest on the Partnering Leadership podcast to discuss his latest book, Reunion: Leadership and the Longing to Belong. In a world that often glorifies a "tough love" leadership style, Jerry makes a compelling case that the most impactful leaders: - ?? Embrace their authentic selves, flaws and all, to tap into a deeper sense of purpose and resilience - ?? Engage in radical self-inquiry to gain clarity on their values, strengths, and areas for growth - ?? Lead with empathy and compassion, fostering a culture of trust and support It's time to move beyond just agreeing with these ideas and start taking real action. To do this, we need to be more emotionally honest, look deeply at ourselves, and work hard to create a sense of belonging for everyone. ? How much emotional honesty do you bring to your leadership? How can you be even more genuine? Many leaders struggle with self-awareness. Don't assume you're different. ? What can you do to better understand yourself, even if you think you're already pretty good at it? ? What can you do to increase the sense of belonging in your team and organization? We need more than just nodding along. We need to pay attention and take real steps to make this happen. How will you put these insights into practice? ?? #partneringleadership #leadership #strategy #management #culture #collaboration #belonging

Have you got a performance problem in your company? I have heard these words so many times. Stop focusing on performance and start focusing on people. Did you know that human centric leaders are 2.5 times more likely to drive high performance? Human Centric Leadership isn't about creating a set of values that you ignore. It's about living those values every single day. Let's take trust and honesty; common values I see in organizations today. One VP told me how his company claims to have these values but doesn't live them. "The CEO started doing all company meetings, where anyone could ask him anything. The problem was that if employees asked uncomfortable questions he shut them down. Then we started to see questions being filtered. by the communications department, so the CEO always looked good. These meetings could have been a brilliant way to be honest and build trust, but the unwillingness to acknowledge problem areas had the opposite result." You cannot make people be the way YOU want them to be. Build a company that thrives through human centric leadership. #humancentricleadership #CEO #CHRO ??

There's a situation and You have chosen to address the matter in an open forum, so it's one message, keep it tight. Then everyone can move on and focus on Productivity. Your speech reviews facts and logically explains the result. What you field are questions which reveal employee emotion such as confusion, anger, resentment, frustration, powerlessness. !!!! You are not prepared for this (and this is not your ballpark). So you summate the explanation and leave. Tick, done. You did the right thing, the uncomfortable part, now everyone back to work! We applaud Leaders who front their Workforce to deliver messages and take questions. We understand it's not most Leaders idea of a great day. But to do this and enjoy an Increase in Productivity requires understanding the mood in the room, before you step into the room, and address that first. At the end of your speech, Your Workforce want to know you understand how this has impacted them, impacted their work, and the feelings that has generated in them. When those elements are primary in Your speech, the facts You and Your Leadership Team used to make the decision round out the reasoning in the solution. Whether you address Your Workforce's perspective or not, they will arrive for work the next day. But as the Leader You control whether they are Motivated, Productive, and Ready to Engage. ????

?? INSIGHTS FROM LEADERS?? "Change or Die" has been one of the most enjoyable projects I've undertaken in recent years. It combines everything I love: meeting new people, networking, gaining insights, and embracing positive energy. I have loved every moment of it! If you haven't yet had the chance to listen to all our brilliant guests, 15 episodes are waiting for you! I've taken a moment to outline a few key insights we've gathered from this season: ??Communication is Key If you can't get your message across, you're going nowhere. All our guests stressed the importance of clear and direct communication—not just to make everyone feel included but to motivate the team, especially in tough times. Like Cecilia said, "Even if you've got no news, share that." I couldn't agree more. The best culture thrives on transparency and communication, from the top down. ??Never Stop Learning and Developing Our leaders showcased a range of approaches to honing their leadership skills. Some dedicated countless hours to active development, while others embraced a learn-as-you-go approach, trying, failing, and trying again. Both methods are fascinating, but it struck me how much effort some leaders invest in their growth. And I love how passions outside work, like Cilla's involvement with Scouterna and Anders's military experience, fuel their leadership skills. ??It's All About People A common theme among our guests was their fascination with people and what makes them tick—understanding different needs, strengths, and weaknesses to build dynamic teams that thrive. For many, becoming a leader wasn't the initial goal, which seems like a solid foundation for leading with more emotional intelligence. We've seen leaders who were given opportunities to advance at a young age naturally fostering an environment where young talent can flourish—a true "pass it forward" mentality. ?? Essential Tools for Every Leader Our guests brought a variety of tools to the table for managing their teams and strengthening their businesses, from the 80/20 rule and feedback showers to vision writing and simply smiling and asking "WHY." A personal favorite was Emma's mantra: "Think Big, Start Small, and Experiment Often." It's a straightforward mindset shift that can spur action, especially in today's AI-anxious world. Let me know what your favorite moment has been! ?? #ChangeorDie #Innovativeleaders
