    Expectation 2 & 3: Championing Operational Excellence and Making Sound Decisions

    Host Christy Frazier, with Melissa Dunn and Jon Harrison, discuss the next two expectations: championing operational excellence and making sound decisions. Jon argues organizations must balance a healthy culture with measurable results. He also encourages leaders to use simple scoreboards and share metrics transparently to build ownership, innovation, and long-term thinking. They emphasize “getting awkward early,” speaking truth, and building passion for “winning at work.” On decision-making, the group rejects “common sense,” advocating intentional teaching of sound decision habits such as including others, thinking long-term, removing bias, and avoiding assumptions; these behaviors apply across roles and also translate to home life.

    Health & Wellness in the Workplace with Dr. Kevin Rindal (Part I)

    Jon Harrison welcomes Dr. Kevin Rindal to discuss his transition from working with elite athletes including the U.S. Olympic Swim Team and U.S. Women’s Ice Hockey to helping utility, construction, and maritime companies reduce injuries and improve workforce readiness. Inspired by seeing his grandfather worn down by physical labor, Rindal developed “body maintenance” frameworks that apply simple, athlete-style recovery principles to workers, helping reduce injuries and improve mobility. They discuss results from early utility programs, including a 53% reduction in sprain/strain injuries and data showing five minutes of mobility work (the “daily five”) improved movement screening scores, especially for ages 50–60.
