This Episode

In this episode, Eric Stutzman, Chris Downey, and Wendy Loewen dive deep into a question every organization should be asking: Are we intentionally developing our leaders, or just hoping they’ll figure it out?

Through stories, insights, and a few laughs (yes, tater tots and cupboard doors make a cameo), the team explores the foundational role leadership development plays in shaping healthy workplace culture.

You’ll learn:
– Why developing leaders is essential, not optional, for organizational success
– The difference between assessing and truly developing leadership capacity
– How consistency, shared philosophy, and values-based practices shape strong leadership
– Practical ways to support leadership development, even with zero budget
– The importance of both vertical (who you are) and horizontal (what you do) leadership growth

Plus: Chris shares a rave that proves even your office pizza order can reflect your culture, and why that matters more than you might think.
