The Leadwell Podcast

Culture will drive people into your organization or it will drive them away.

A great culture is a healthy culture. Here's how I define a healthy culture:

A healthy culture has the values, beliefs, and behaviors that promote the health and achievement of the people, the place, and the purpose.

So, what are some signs of a healthy culture?
How do you go about cultivating and building a healthy culture?
Why is a healthy culture important?

We dive into these questions and more to help you create a healthy, winning culture where you lead.

Here's what you'll find in this episode:

• The three signs of a healthy culture.
• How do you know if you have a safe culture?
• How do you build a safe culture and environment?

Plus, this week's questions and answers:

• How do we govern and display optimism in the workplace?
• What is the right way to incentivize your staff?

What is your number one job as a leader?

On my first day on the job as a new executive, a board member (one of my bosses) asked me this question.

I thought...
...operational excellence
...increase net profit
...build a strategic plan

Their answer surprised me.

They said, "Find and train your replacement."

Why?

Because leaders develop leaders.

Your goal is to leave a legacy of impact that outlives you. But it’s easier said than done.

Check out this week's episode for how to go about finding and training leaders so you can leave a legacy of impact.

Here's what you’ll find in this episode:

• What you need to do before you begin training your replacement
• Keys to choosing your 'one' well
• How to develop the leader and create a smooth transition when you're gone

Plus, answers to some of your questions:

• What’s the best way to give feedback to your staff?
• How do you handle someone who’s a top producer but is a jerk around the office?

What is the quickest and best way to grow your business?

By growing your people!

Your impact grows when you do. Your business impact grows when your people do.

Fun piece of data - a LinkedIn survey points to developing people as the #1 factor for retention. And 94% of employees say there is no reason to leave if their company invests in them that way.

Development grows the business AND keeps the people.

Today's episode will help you develop your people.

You'll discover:

• 3 Steps to identifying your needed growth
• And then how to grow your people within what you've identified

Plus I answer these questions:

• How do I successfully delegate items to the team?
• What do I need to do to communicate effectively as a leader?
• What are the attributes you should look for in any leader?
