The Invisible Systems Shaping Your Leadership: Trust, Culture, and Organizational Experience with Daniel Edds

Listen Later

In this episode Dr. Rob McKenna and Daniel Edds take a deep dive into the unseen forces shaping our organizations—culture, trust, and the systems that define them. Dan shares from decades of experiences highlighting a hard truth: the systems we create (or fail to create) dictate the experience of every person in an organization.

🔹 Leadership Takeaways:

  • Culture Exists, Whether You Define It or Not – Every organization has a culture. The question is whether it’s intentional or accidental.

  • Systems Drive Experience – The way we structure work creates an emergent experience, shaping morale, engagement, and trust.

  • People Want to Be Proud of Where They Work – Nearly everyone desires to be part of something meaningful. Leaders have the opportunity—and responsibility—to cultivate that sense of pride.

  • Making No Decision is Still a Decision – Leadership requires making conscious choices, not just letting culture evolve by default.

    • This episode challenges us to reflect on the systems we build and the invisible forces shaping the way our teams operate.
