Great leadership alone doesn’t build great organizations.

In this episode, Simon Mont, cofounder of Harmonize Consulting, joins us to explore what it really takes to move beyond leadership and build organizations where collaboration, clarity, and impact can thrive. Over the past decade, Simon has helped more than 300 teams develop the structures, cultures, practices, and strategies they need to do meaningful work—and have fun doing it.

We dive into the most common pitfalls leaders and visionaries fall into when trying to get people aligned around a shared goal, and why good intentions aren’t enough to create real collaboration. Simon breaks down what actually unlocks teamwork at scale, from organizational design to cultural norms that support—not sabotage—collective effort.

This conversation challenges the idea that inspiration alone drives results and instead focuses on how intentional systems and shared practices turn vision into sustained impact.

If you’re a leader, board member, or executive trying to build an organization that truly works together, this episode will give you a fresh—and practical—perspective.
