Episode Description
One of the hottest topics in business today is culture. Everyone talks about how important it is and what type of culture is best or required to be successful. We hear about how important culture is to have an engaged workforce that executes. We hear about all the things leaders should do to have a great culture. Yet, how do you really establish and drive the culture you want, especially if you are "Left Brained"? If you are a highly logical, lineal or mathematical type, relying on facts, the art of building culture may be a difficult subject. Not for Dr. Andrew Kim, though. While he is extremely left brained dominant, he has learned the power of having a great culture. Furthermore, he has developed a way for left brained people to do this. This week, Chris and Andrew discuss how to help left brained leaders build a great culture that executes.
Transformative Experts
Monday at 8 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Business Channel/Sunday at 10 AM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Influencers Channel
Thomas Edison once said that vision without execution is hallucination. Many leaders have a great vision, but struggle to achieve it due to lack of execution. In order to succeed, an organization must have both a defined culture and the processes in place to support and drive achievement. Often, companies and the people within them, must transform in many ways to ensure execution happens and results are optimized.
During this show, Chris Elias will discuss these real-life issues with business leaders and transformative experts. Together, they will share stories of successes, failures, and the leadership practices that will benefit you the most. Transformative Experts with Chris Elias is broadcast live every Monday at 8 AM Pacific Time on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel and replays on Sundays at 10 AM Pacific Time on the VoiceAmerica Influencers Channel.
