Culture Code Champions

A great company culture is something that is not only felt by the people within the organization. When employees look forward to working and creating value out in the world, society as a whole gets to improve. Someone who recognizes this far-reaching value is Moves The Needle’s Brant Cooper, world-class thought leader and speaker on leadership, culture, and success. At the core of Brant’s mission is to help companies empower creativity and inspiration that lives inside all of us. He shares how he’s accomplishing that and allowing companies and organizations to innovate rapidly. He also touches digital transformation, the driving force that creates success, the company’s DNA and value proposition, and the power coming in being more inclusive to a broader team.

Leaders are not born but made, and just as you can teach leadership, you can also teach culture. Centering on this value here at Culture Code Champions, host Bill Higgs brings US Army General Martin Dempsey to share the principles of leadership and creating cultures from the army that made them successful in the civilian world. They talk about what they particularly learned from West Point that is very much still relevant for the next generation of leaders to implement. As the 18th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dempsey is someone who greatly puts in wisdom on leadership; and he lets us in on the experiences he has of leading units and teams not only with what is required of them to do but also in putting importance to continuous learning. Fill yourselves with great life-long nuggets to guide you in becoming the leader that leads your organization to success.

Contrary to what many expect, part of leadership is recognizing that it is not all about you. Instead, you have to think of the team. Merging those will then get you the winning team culture you need. In this episode, host Bill Higgs sits down with General David Petraeus, a former CIA Director and Commander of United States Central Command. With his background and experience, General Petraeus takes us deeper into leadership and creating a winning team culture that organizations need in order to excel. He also talks about understanding change in large organizations and highlights a few of those that he took from the events that happened in his career.
