In today’s Better Together Podcast, Kelly and Shawn Sundsvold sit down with Keith Meyerson, a learning and talent strategist, to explore what it really takes to build strong leaders inside organizations.

From his early experience in the Marine Corps to launching over 50 learning and talent systems, Keith shares a grounded perspective on why leadership development often falls short — and what needs to change.

This conversation goes beyond traditional training.

It dives into why succession planning is often reactive, how defining clear leadership competencies can transform organizations, and why accountability and coaching are critical to building high-performing teams.

Keith also challenges common thinking around performance management, emphasizing the need to focus on root causes rather than surface-level fixes and why lifelong learning is essential for leaders who want to stay relevant.

If you’re leading a team or building an organization, this episode offers a practical and forward-looking perspective on creating a culture that actually develops people.
