    From the Battlefield to the Boardroom: General Komar’s Framework for Lasting Culture Change

    What can a retired Army Brigadier General teach us about culture change in business? A lot, it turns out. On this episode of Great Mondays Radio, host Josh Levine sits down with Dave Komar—31-year Army veteran, executive coach, and author of Conquer Your Culture—to unpack what it really takes to lead transformation inside complex organizations. This is a conversation about how to define the culture you actually want, why purpose is your most underutilized tool, and what CEOs can learn from decision-making on the battlefield. Dave shares the five-part framework he developed over decades of military and business leadership, and how it helps leaders move from confusion to clarity—even in moments of massive change, like the rise of AI. If you’re facing uncertainty and wondering how to lead your team through it, this episode will give you both perspective and a plan.

    Design Is the Canary in the Culture Coal Mine — What HR Still Hasn’t Learned with Peter Merholz

    Most organizations still don’t know what to do with design. Peter Merholz thinks that’s telling—and a warning sign for HR. Nearly a decade after his book Org Design for Design Orgs first made the case for scaling design teams with intention, he’s still seeing the same gaps in how companies support “human-first” functions. In this episode of Great Mondays Radio, Peter joins Josh Levine to explore the surprising parallels between UX and People teams, why both struggle to prove their value, and how immature leadership keeps them stuck in reactive mode. They dig into the difference between stewardship and true leadership, the long value chain that makes culture work so vulnerable, and the simple communication strategy that can keep your team from the chopping block. This isn’t about adding perks—it’s about making the case for change before the next budget cut. If you’ve ever wondered how to protect your function and help it thrive, this conversation is your blueprint.

    A Serious Argument for Making Work Fun

    Most people count down to Friday. Bree Groff thinks that’s a problem—and a fixable one. In her new book Today Was Fun, she makes the case that joy at work isn’t a perk, it’s the point. In this episode of Great Mondays Radio, Bree joins Josh Levine to share how finding fun in the work—not just around it—can spark creativity, improve performance, and make life better. They dig into why “good enough” is a trap, how to focus your limited energy where brilliance matters most, and why defending your time is an act of rebellion. This isn’t about ping-pong tables or happy hours. It’s about designing days you don’t want to rush through. If you’ve ever wondered whether joy and productivity can actually go hand in hand, this conversation might just change the way you think about Mondays.

    How Amazon and Adobe Transformed Team Performance with Experience Design

    A scattered team. A tired culture. A creative spark. And just like that, trust starts to grow again—on purpose. In this episode of Great Mondays Radio, we sit down with experience design leader Elysia Syriac, who’s shaped creative culture at Amazon and Adobe, to unpack how intentional gatherings—big and small—can rebuild trust, connection, and team performance in today’s distributed workplace.

This isn’t just a conversation about designing better events. It’s about reimagining what work feels like—and how we get there together. We discuss: Why creative culture is everyone’s responsibility (yes, even in legal)How to design trust-building experiences that stickWhat Amazon’s Conflux conference got right—and how you can borrow the blueprintHow to get busy people to say yes (hint: timebox it)The cost of prioritizing efficiency over empathy—and what to do instead If you lead teams, build culture, or just want work to feel more like a community than a checklist—this one’s for you.

    A concert. A camera. A very public mistake. And just like that, your company’s culture is trending for all the wrong reasons. In this episode of Great Mondays Radio, we sit down with crisis communications pro Chris Beard to talk through what actually happens when a leadership scandal goes viral.
