  • High Care and High Performance belong together

    This series has been a frequent addition to my daily COVID exercise walks!

    Honest, practical and encouraging content for CEO’s and other senior leaders. A great range of industries, personalities and leadership styles united around a common commitment to modelling and actively building a culture of care.

    Graeme’s conversational interviewing draws out some really profound insights. I particularly enjoy responses to the question about advice you would give to your younger self.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#91 Measure What Matters, Jacob Chase, CEO The INFIN
Q: How does The INFIN measure contribution and use it to drive compensation and recognition?
We use a decentralized framework where every person contributes their perspective on what is valuable, aggregate those views to determine proportional contribution, and tie rewards to that distributed assessment, creating a live view of individual impact.
#91 Measure What Matters, Jacob Chase, CEO The INFIN
Q: How did you transition from Wall Street to building your own business, and what leadership changes did you implement?
The move required shifting from a highly hierarchical, performance-driven culture to a more coaching and collaborative approach, including changing tone, meeting cadences, and giving people space to contribute while maintaining accountability.
#91 Measure What Matters, Jacob Chase, CEO The INFIN
Q: What was your area of specialization on Wall Street and what did you learn from that experience?
I started in restructuring investment banking at Lazard during the financial crisis, where I gained a crash course in financial analytics and high performance expectations, which shaped my understanding of how important people are to business outcomes.
#90 Overcoming Imposter Syndrome Daily, Nick Orchard, Performance Coach
Q: Nick, what does care in the workplace mean to you?
Care means a strong connection to shared purpose, permission to be radically authentic, and a culture where authority is delegated to all levels so everyone feels ownership and inclusion.
#88 Joy at work, Alex Liu, ex Chairman & Global Managing Partner, Kearney
Q: How should leaders handle risk-taking and bold ideas within a structured process?
Leaders should encourage bold thinking within a disciplined framework, ensuring psychological safety while grounding insights in data and aimed at tangible outcomes.
