Have a Good Life

In this episode, we’re bringing you a conversation from The Authority Podcast, part of the Be Podcast Network. 

Today’s guest is international best-selling author and business leader Mark Miller, Vice President of High Performance Leadership for Chick-Fil-A. 

Culture Rules: The Leader's Guide to Creating the Ultimate Competitive Advantage is Mark’s 11th book. He currently has over one million books in print in more than twenty-five languages.

Ross and Mark discuss:

• 71% of U.S. leaders believe culture is their #1 most powerful tool to drive performance, but enhancing culture ranks low on their priority list — why the gap?
• First move: decide and declare what you're trying to create. Culture needs to be explicit. 
• The 3 Culture Rules: Aspire, Amplify, Adapt
• What does culture mean to your customers?
• Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wanted to shift the company from being “know-it-alls” to “learn-it-alls” — what did Mark learn while working on the book?
• The “magic circle” of game design and how it explains culture. 
• What Mark learned about innovation and purpose. 
• Measuring culture

Dr. Karen Dudek Brannan: A little bit about myself: I spent 14 years as a school SLP while I was working on my doctorate in special education and Director of Special Education credential. In 2015, I launched my business focused on helping IEP teams design services that support language, literacy, and executive functioning; as well as helping all team members be better leaders. As a person who has been on both the service-provider and leadership end in special education, I think I’d be able to offer a unique perspective to your listeners.

Summary for show notes:

In today’s episode we dive into the world of executive functioning.  Dr. Dudek Brannan explains what effective work should look like beyond the traditional model of students working on skill deficiencies in isolation with a counselor or therapist.  She describes how a team can focus on building these skills in students and what practice in the classroom includes.
