How to Build Leaders, Unleash Talent, and Change Culture with David Casullo Rust Belt Startup

Today on the pod I'm speaking with Mr. David Casullo - He is the CEO and founder of Denali Partners - an executive leadership development agency, that works with companies, organizations and educational institutions to build leaders, and change culture. David is the author of the book "Leading the High Energy Culture: What the Best CEOs Do to Create an Atmosphere Where Employees Flourish " and he is a relentless champion of building community and supporting many of the things that make upstate New York a great place to live and work.



In this conversation, we're going to talk about what makes a great leader but we're also going to talk about how you identify the unique gifts and talents of all of the individuals that make up an organization, harnessing them to the mission and to supercharging it. We get into his time as the head of HR at Raymour and Flanigan, and how he transformed the culture to align people to create delight in a business where we typically don't think about that as as a core mission. Finally we'll talk about some of the tools that he uses when he's developing and working with Fortune 50 Leaders and Executives, and how you can use the same tools to become the best version of yourself.



I can't thank David enough for spending time with me and unpacking his valuable toolkit.
