    Building a Culture of Innovation: What Leaders Get Wrong

    Building a Culture of Innovation: What Leaders Get Wrong Hosts: Mervyn Dinnen Guest: Cris Beswick - Leadership, culture, and innovation expert   Summary On this episode of HR Means Business, Mervyn is joined by leadership, culture, and innovation expert Chris Beswick to challenge one of business's most misunderstood concepts: innovation. Together, they explore why innovation shouldn't be treated as a department, initiative, or brainstorming exercise, but as the outcome of a culture intentionally designed to encourage curiosity, collaboration, and calculated risk. Chris explains why so many innovation programs fail—not because organizations lack ideas, but because they focus on tools and processes without changing the leadership behaviors and cultural conditions that allow innovation to thrive. The conversation also examines the critical role of middle managers, psychological safety, and why leadership must move beyond simply sponsoring innovation to truly owning it. The discussion also tackles one of today's biggest leadership questions: where AI fits into innovation. Rather than replacing human creativity, Chris argues that organizations will see the greatest success by using AI to remove administrative work while allowing people to focus on collaboration, problem-solving, and creating value.   Key Takeaways Why innovation is an outcome—not a strategy or department.The leadership and cultural conditions that make innovation possible.Why middle managers are often the most overlooked drivers of organizational change.How psychological safety enables better ideas and smarter risk-taking.Why many innovation initiatives fail to deliver ROI.How AI should complement—not replace—human creativity and leadership.Practical first steps leaders can take to build a culture that supports innovation.    Thank you for your continued support of the show and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts!   The HR Happy Hour Network is sponsored by Workhuman.

    HR Keeps Inheriting Everyone Else’s Problems

    HR Keeps Inheriting Everyone Else’s Problems Host: Sabrina Baker   Summary If no one owns it, HR gets it. That's not a bandwidth problem, it's an ownership boundary problem. And they require completely different solutions. In this episode, Sabrina Baker breaks down why unowned work keeps landing on HR's plate and how HR's own greatest strength — operating in ambiguity — works against them. The more capable and willing you are to step in, the more the organization learns to route things your direction. Involvement and ownership are not the same thing. One of the most strategic things HR can do is understand the difference. She shares three moves for stopping the pattern that you can start doing today. The sentence to hold onto: every problem HR solves without clarifying ownership becomes HR's problem to solve again later.   Key Topics Ownership boundaries in HRDelegation and offloading tasksDistinction between involvement and ownershipStrategies to clarify responsibilitiesImpact of ambiguity on HR workloadBuilding organizational accountability Thank you for your continued support of the show and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts!   The HR Happy Hour Network is sponsored by Workhuman.
