How Do High Performing CEOs Transform Corporate Culture?
In an interview with Jeffrey Feldberg, we uncovered counterintuitive strategies for driving breakthroughs and transforming culture. In business, all organizations are limited by knowledge, technology and mindset. For example, in the early 80s, Steve Jobs introduced a device called the Newton. As revolutionary as it was, it failed. It did not fail because it was a bad idea nor did it fail because he was ahead of his time. The mindset of those around him could not see the need for the Newton. Today the iPad is the advanced version of the Newton.
All companies have a new possibility that can be created. However, the mindsets of vendors, staff and management may not see it as a viable product or service. This is where transforming culture becomes essential.
People's limiting beliefs are shaped by society or childhood experiences. In the case of the Newton, most people could not see consumers purchasing a computer that would fit in the palm of your hand. At the time, most people did not have a computer in their home or on their desk at work. Steve Jobs was making a leap so far most could not see it. What stops people from seeing those kinds of quantum leaps or paradigm shifts is mindset.
In this video, we dive into how mindset can be shaped by society or past experiences. We also explored the most important strategy to effectively transform culture.

How Do You Develop a Mindset for a World of Constant Change?
In part two of an interview with Ademola Odewade and Noella, we took a deeper dive into the steps to develop a mindset that is powerful in the face of constant change and chaos. To make the mindset technology practical, we examined several case studies. We looked at how people can unknowingly get side tracked by self imposed obstacles.
As the interview progressed, we explored the most important steps required for people to unlock breakthroughs. Through the discussion, I showed how breakthroughs can be blocked by incidental events from the past. While many people believe they have outgrown their past, reality says the past is the main reason people are derailed when facing uncertainty, chaos, disruption, change, etc. The case studies are great examples of how close people are to producing extraordinary results. Except, one event from the past becomes a huge stop sign. This pattern is seen for the individual whether they are the receptionist, CEO or engineer. And it is seen at the corporate culture level.
As the interview approached the close, we explored artificial intelligence and the importance of leading an organization with multiple generations. We uncovered parrellels between artificial intelligence and industries of the past. In addition, the interviewers asked about the differences that need to be acknowledged about Gen-Z when compared to past age groups. The answers may surprise you.

Do Hard Times Create the Most Powerful Leaders?
In part one of an interview with Ademola Odewade and Noella, we took a journey into the intricate parts of my mindset technology. We ventured down the path of how misfortune and chaos can transform people into champions who accomplish extraordinary feats. However, before we could explore great accomplishment, we had to understand why most breakthroughs fail.
As the conversation progressed, we looked at how some of the smartest and most accomplished people are derailed when pursuing the next level of their success. In many cases, the next level requires a paradigm shift. Except, most people rely on what they already know to get them to where they are not. Unfortunately, what we already know can derail us or lead us down a dead end when it comes to navigating uncertainty.
Throughout the interview, we examined techniques for dismantling belief systems that shape poor performance or high performance. Many of the components of the mindset technology are counter intuitive. As a result, the interviewers struggled with the new ideas until the pieces of the puzzle were put in place.
This interview is filled with twists and turns that defy logic and common sense. If you want to learn things you did not know you did not know, you will not want to miss one minute of this interview.
