Bringing Values to Life at Work with Laura Hamill
What makes culture so powerful, and why do so many organizations get it wrong? Kevin sits down with organizational psychologist Laura Hamill to discuss the disconnect between the practice of culture and the science of culture. Laura defines culture not just as what’s visible on the surface, but as the underlying "collective set of reasons why" behaviors occur in organizations. She explains why leaders must bridge the gap between aspirational values and actual workplace experiences and introduces the concept of cultural betrayal. The discussion also covers the difference between culture and climate, the role of middle managers in operationalizing values, and how behaviors and norms shape what is truly valued in the workplace.

Patience Can Be More Than Waiting - Thoughts from Kevin

Patience Can Be More Than Waiting - Thoughts from Kevin
Kevin Eikenberry challenges the traditional notion of patience as merely waiting. Instead, he introduces the concept of proactive patience — a dynamic and intentional approach that involves movement, reflection, and growth even during periods of waiting. Kevin highlights the balance between slowing down without becoming passive and maintaining forward momentum without forcing outcomes. He emphasizes the importance of having a clear vision, trusting the process, and maintaining a long-term orientation, especially in uncertain times. This mindset shift helps leaders continue progressing toward their goals even when immediate results aren't visible. Key Takeaways Patience isn't passive: True patience involves intentional action, not just idle waiting. Proactive patience: Strike a balance between pausing and continuing to work toward your vision. Keep your goals in sight: Maintain focus on your long-term objectives even during pauses. Reflect and act: Use moments of waiting for thoughtful reflection that leads to deliberate action. Trust the process: Growth often includes plateaus and setbacks — stay committed to the journey. Think long-term: See waiting as a temporary moment within a larger path of progress. Flexible Leadership: Kevin ties these ideas to his new book, encouraging a mindset of "both/and" rather than "either/or."

Cultivating Autonomy, Authority and Leadership in Every Role with Judith Katz and Fred Miller
Are you empowering others or unleashing agency? In this episode, Judith Katz and Fred Miller join Kevin to discuss the role of agency in the workplace. While autonomy and authority are often topics of discussion, agency — the ability for all individuals, regardless of their role or tenure, to possess power, influence, and a voice — is crucial for high-performance organizations. They explain how organizational cultures often "smother" this natural agency through excessive rules, approvals, and "checkers checking checkers," which leads to the slow implementation of even the best strategies. Judith and Fred highlight that organizations need to transition from control-based leadership to trust-based leadership.
