Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Culture Starts Here: Do Your Leaders Know What To Say and Do To Be Effective? with Todd Wuestenberg
Q: Given that culture is really the topic, tell us a little bit about how you defined good leadership and what your core values are, so listeners can be inspired by how you talk about those.
Leadership at our organization is defined by those who live out our core values in practice; we identify leaders by who demonstrates service, hard work, accountability, results-driven behavior, and integrity, and we emphasize their role as culture carriers who model and mentor the next generation of leaders. We also keep core values on a concise one-page document to ensure a common language and repeatable behavior across onboarding and daily operations.
Live from CultureCon: Rethinking Success Through Culture with Jeff Lindemann
Q: What practical advice would you give to leaders wanting to start building a culture that supports strategy?
Start with a clear decision from the CEO about the desired culture, then actively build it rather than delegating it; avoid superficial perks and focus on people feeling valued and having meaningful contributions within the organization's purposeful framework.
Live from CultureCon: Rethinking Success Through Culture with Jeff Lindemann
Q: How do you measure success beyond traditional productivity metrics?
We track employee engagement as our primary metric for two and a half decades because higher engagement correlates with stronger value creation, evidenced by substantial growth in market cap and earnings multiples over time, indicating culture as a strategic driver.
Live from CultureCon: Rethinking Success Through Culture with Jeff Lindemann
Q: What do you consider the core reason your culture delivers a multi-decade ROI?
The core reason is intentional, values-guided behavior that consistently ties everyday actions to the company's strategic goals, coupled with a genuine emphasis on belonging and meaningful contribution, which sustains engagement and drives long-term value.
Fearless in the Face of Uncertainty with Rachel Breitbach
Q: Can you please tell us the Denver Broncos story?
Rachel shares how her early goal to be a sports broadcaster shaped her resilience and curiosity, and how a landmark experience interviewing in the Denver Broncos locker room highlighted the importance of facing uncertainty with composure and people-focused leadership.
