THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… leaders, culture builders, managers... TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Ron is here to talk about honesty and feeling valued. It's important to mean what you say and say what you mean, especially when you are a leader and a culture builder. Ask your teams to call you on your promises, on your mission statement. Create an environment where people can tell you the truth. If you don't have someone coming into your office at least once a week telling you something that makes you feel uncomfortable, as a leader, it's not necessarily a good sign. So how do you build a culture of transparency and accountability? And how do you manage a system that gives autonomy and flexibility to your teams? Ron is here to break it down. WHAT I LOVE MOST… Having Ron back on the show and his advice to go take the How Honest is my Team Assessment!

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. This week I am bringing back another classic episode of the What's Next! Podcast with the incomparable Arianna Huffington. Arianna is an author, mother, and businesswoman, most notably known as the co-founder and former Editor-in-Chief of The Huffington Post. Arianna has been named one of the Most Influential Women in Media and one of the Most Powerful Women in Business and is the author of multiple books like Thrive and The Sleep Revolution. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… those hesitant about the future. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… We're at a very interesting time in history – one that is currently being shaped in new ways every day. The next 20 years won't look anything like today. But of course, 20 years ago doesn't look anything like today either. We cannot predict what the future holds, but as Arianna says, we're at an inflection point. Careers are no longer linear. Passion and purpose have stronger meanings than ever before, and change is happening faster than humans can keep up. Arianna is concerned about our addiction to devices because data shows it makes us less empathetic. More and more people are ditching devices for real connection, which means putting phones away for dinners and seeing friends in person instead of over a video call. Arianna calls this "thrive mode." WHAT I LOVE MOST… As I've gotten older, I've realized that giving back and reflecting on my life is more important than I ever thought. In a tech-consumed world, Arianna warns that we need balance. The interconnectedness we appear to have doesn't hold weight compared to investing in relationships. Giving back and providing value is what gives us a full life.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova for this What's Next! Reload. This week I am bringing back a classic episode of the What's Next! Podcast with the awesome Dan Pink. Dan is the author of six books, including When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing. Thinkers50 named Dan one of the Top 15 Business Thinkers in the World, and his TED talk The Puzzle of Motivation is one of the 10 most-watched TED talks of all time. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anyone looking to improve their likelihood of success in both their personal and professional lives. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Did you know that a book about timing decisions didn't exist until Dan Pink wrote it in early 2018? When you think about it, we make multiple "when" decisions in our life: When should I exercise during the day? When should I start a product? When should I quit a project? When should I quit my job? Dan's diligent research into the foundation behind our "when" decisions led him to discover that people mostly disregard the question of when and instead focus on what and who and how. WHAT I LOVE MOST… Breaks are more important than you think. We need to start thinking about breaks as part of our performance not a deviation from performance.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova for this What's Next! Reload. This week I am bringing back an episode with my wonderful friend Seth Godin on the human side of business. Seth is the author of over 18 books that have been bestsellers around the world and been translated into more than 35 languages. He writes about the post-industrial revolution, the way ideas spread, marketing, quitting, leadership, and–most of all–changing everything. You might be familiar with his books Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip, and, my favorite, Purple Cow. In addition to his writing and speaking Seth founded both Yoyodyne and Squidoo. His blog, which you can find him by typing Seth into Google, is one of the most popular in the world and he was recently inducted into the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame–one of three chosen for this honor in 2013. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… humans is sales and marketing. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Seth loves to talk about making something happen. He is a huge fan of doing the right thing in business. The "right thing" means not caring about stock options or your career and still caring about what you're making.

Your job as the marketer is not to sell what the factory makes, but to serve the people the company seeks to serve. This is the human side of business.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova for this What's Next! Reload. This week I am bringing back an episode with the wonderful Ginger Hardage on Servant Leadership. Ginger recently retired as Senior Vice President of Culture and Communications at Southwest Airlines after an illustrious 25 years.

THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… leaders, aspiring leaders, managers, and anyone interested in leading effectively and building a successful and organizational culture. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Happy employees make customers happy. When customers are happy they return. This is what helps you successfully take care of your shareholders. Too often organizations start backward, focus too much on pleasing shareholders at the expense of everything else. In order to build a successful organization that takes care of its employees and by extension its customers, it is important to address three main points. First, it behooves you to define your company culture and the values that matter to your organization and how you will live those out. Second, it is important to analyze and establish what makes your distinct purpose and value set unique. Third, you must focus on leadership alignment with your values–how are you as a leader, or your organization's leaders living out the values of the company. Successful, servant leadership starts from the top down, and how we act backs-up what we say. WHAT I LOVE MOST… Speaking to Ginger, who has successfully driven this type of culture at an iconic organization like Southwest, about the power of focusing on your employees. Great advice on how to navigate the soft side Running time: 35:59 Subscribe on iTunes Find Tiffani on social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Find Ginger on social: Twitter Instagram LinkedIn Ginger's Website: Unstoppable Cultures
