  • Leadership responsibility

    I honor and respect that Dean is going after leaders to be responsible for the energy, productivity and happiness of their people. Energy flows down in an organization, not up.

    If you want to know how it is to work for an organization and what the leadership is like, ask an employee. This podcast gives reasonable execution ideas.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ashley Jablow: Why the Best Leaders Design Culture Instead of Managing It
Q: What is the role of constraints in design thinking and culture design, and how can leaders use them without stifling creativity?
Constraints are opportunities that guide you toward learning quickly. They create safety to experiment, force clarity on priorities, and encourage rapid prototyping, which fosters trust and a culture where risk-taking is possible and productive.
Ashley Jablow: Why the Best Leaders Design Culture Instead of Managing It
Q: Ashley, could you explain to our audience what design thinking really is and how it applies to planning and intentionality?
Design thinking is a people-centered process for creative problem solving that can be applied to products, careers, and organizations. It asks who you're serving, what their experience is, and how to design for that experience, then iterates through discovery, definition, imagining, and prototyping to move from insight to action.
Glenn Poulos: Why Most Salespeople Fail Before the Conversation Even Begins
Q: Can introverted people be trained to be effective salespeople, especially in a hybrid or virtual environment?
Yes. Introverts can excel by leveraging listening, empathy, and structured preparation, and by using the right roles within a company to complement their skills; the key is matching the person to the environment and giving them a clear framework.
Glenn Poulos: Why Most Salespeople Fail Before the Conversation Even Begins
Q: What do most salespeople get wrong, and why is it rooted in the lobby moment?
Most miss the critical pre-meeting phase—being prepared, arriving with purpose, and shaping a positive first impression. The lobby moment sets trust or distrust before any words are spoken, so the foundation is behavioral, not transactional.
Ty Givens: Will AI Replace Customer Service? The Surprising Truth About What Customers Really Want
Q: What should leaders do to stay ahead in AI-driven customer service?
Balance automation with human touch, invest in continuous learning, and communicate openly about transitions to maintain trust and quality service.
