Truly Human Leadership

Barry-Wehmiller

One of the most fundamental of human needs is to know that who we are and what we do matter. As leaders in business, we have the unique opportunity to let our team members know that they do. And when they feel valued and cared for at work, they return home and enjoy better relationships with their loved ones, friends, neighbors and others. This world needs Truly Human Leadership. On this podcast, you'll hear about what it means to be conscious leaders and have a conscious business. You'll hear from voices of inspirational leadership like Simon Sinek, Amy Cuddy, Raj Sisodia of Conscious Capitalism and many more. You'll also hear stories and insights learned through Barry-Wehmiller and it's CEO Bob Chapman's transformation to traditional business management to Truly Human Leadership.

    Truly Human Leadership at Gonzaga University

    As you may have heard previously on this podcast, over the last several years, Barry-Wehmiller has been involved in an effort to bring Truly Human Leadership to universities. Our own Brian Wellinghoff has spearheaded this outreach effort and it has led to partnerships with several colleges around the country. One of which is Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington. Last October we were honored when Gonzaga instituted Chapman Leadership Week to bring a spotlight to people-centric leadership in business on campus, in honor of our late Chairman Bob Chapman. His son, Kyle Chapman, our current Chairman and CEO, was the inaugural keynote speaker at that event. This year, Chapman Leadership Week continued and the featured speaker was our friend Steve Gund of the Gund Company in St. Louis, a leader whose philosophy was greatly influenced by Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller. In fact, Steve was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal discussing the impact that has had on his company. On this episode of the podcast, Brian Wellinghoff sat down for a discussion with Steve Gund, as well as Brian Steverson, Gonzaga's Chair of Business Ethics in the School of Business Administration. The three talk about Barry-Wehmiller's work at Gonzaga, what it has meant to their curriculum and their students and they also talk about the why behind Chapman Leadership Week. It's a fascinating and exciting conversation on how Truly Human Leadership is making inroads in the education of future leaders.

    How Do You Really Build High Performing Teams?

    Recently in Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute's People and Performance Playbook Newsletter, Mike Budden and Gunnar Millot wrote a thought provoking article that may be contrary to your perceptions of how and why teams are successful. It was called A High-Performing Team Is Not Necessarily a Team of High Performers. Is that how things work in your organization? Do you just grab and group of the hi-pos, the people generally considered to be the best in the  company and throw them in a room and expect all the problems in your company's world to be solved? And does that always work out for you? Here's something they say in the article" "Capability, affinity, and alignment don't add up to value, they multiply into it. This means you can stack a team with extraordinary capability and still end up with almost nothing to show for it, because anything multiplied by a number close to zero stays close to zero.  "That's the arithmetic of the superstar team that loses. And here's the part leaders tend to miss: affinity and alignment don't just show up on their own. They get built, or quietly torn down, by whether people trust the person in charge.  "That trust rests on three things: Is the leader competent? Do they actually care? And are they congruent, meaning do they walk their talk?" This is another podcast installment of the People and Performance Playbook where the experts at Chapman & Co. share their knowledge on leadership development. You can subscribe to the People and Performance Playbook Newsletter when you follow Chapman and Co on Linkedin. On this episode, to challenge your expectations about high performing teams, is Chapman & Co.'s Gunnar Millot and Mike Budden.
