Success and growth can be a double-edged sword, leading to a cultural drift. Witnessing our team misaligning with values, formation of silos, and witnessing a rise in turnover can leave us blindsided and disheartened. In this week's episode, Jenni discusses the intricate dynamics of managing cultural shifts in evolving organizations, shares insights into how to lead a team when it feels like your thriving culture has slipped away overnight, how to monitor team health as your organization grows, and how to shift from a culture that's merely absorbed to one that's intentionally imparted. ResourceCulture Blindspot AssessmentCulture ConferenceCulture Conference is back and registration is now open.

Today, we’re going to talk to you about a topic that we often see get overlooked or avoided. As leaders, we want to attract great team members. We want to build inspiring teams and yet, sometimes we avoid the very things that produce the greatest cultures. Often, those things are simple, but they are extraordinarily hard. The simple but challenging topic we’re going to tackle today is: feedback. How do you create a culture where feedback is given and received, normal and expected, appropriate and productive?In this week’s episode, Jenni helps us answer that question as she shares the 3 elements of a healthy culture of feedback, 4 ways to create feedback loops throughout the organization, 3 questions to consider for giving healthy feedback, and suggestions for what to do when a team member doesn’t receive feedback well. Culture ConferenceCulture Conference is back and registration is now open.

While today’s topic is practical and necessary, it’s a leadership skill that we see some organizations struggle with: accountability.What if your structure or system problem is really a lack of accountability? How do you create a balance of healthy accountability that helps every person contribute at their best level, without micromanaging?In this episode, Jenni shares 4 principles for creating a culture of accountability, including: clarify expectations, follow up, measure results, and evaluate ROI. When you clarify expectations, you can keep your team accountable while leaving room for how an employee accomplishes those goals - and we can work better, together. ResourcesThe 4 Dimensions of Extraordinary LeadershipLeadr (tell them Jenni sent you!)4Sight Leadership InstituteConnect with JenniWhat system do you have in place to help with follow up?

I recently heard Marshall Goldsmith say that “leaders are better than ever, yet the feedback about leaders is worse than ever. The expectations for leaders have changed.” This immediately resonated with me, and I wanted to find out what leadership expert and author, Tim Arnold, had to say about it. In this episode, Tim shares the challenges he’s hearing from leaders, the transformational power of “both/and” thinking, and how he coaches leaders who find themselves in an “either/or” approach to help them shift to something new. Tim Arnold has spent over two decades helping leaders manage complexity, increase resilience, and deliver results, with clients that include The United Nations, Royal Bank of Canada, Allstate Insurance, Compassion International, Toyota, and Siemens. After running both a for-profit business and a homeless shelter, he leverages his real-world experience to help organizations pursue both profit and purpose. Tim’s work focuses on helping leaders unleash the superpower of Both/And thinking in an Either/Or world.Connect with Tim Visit www.leadwithand.com to download list of key leadership tensions and read the first 3 chapters of Lead with AndConnect with online on YouTube & InstagramConnect with JenniDownload Tim’s list of leadership tensions and let us know what stands out to you.
