Episode 669 – The Culture Captain with J.P. Nerbun – Part 2

Every culture has problems — what separates the good ones is how they work through discomfort and adversity together. In part 2 with J.P. Nerbun, author of The Culture Captain, we explore how to lead yourself first, how to give and receive feedback, and why responsibility and self-awareness are the foundation of any healthy team. J.P. shares why authenticity is harder than it sounds, how to fill your own leadership gaps, and what it really looks like to pour into a leadership group day by day. Along the way TJ and Sam share their insights both the the value of a mirror-holding mentor, and the balance between coaching standards and team-created standards. Shift your coaching from transactional to transformational with culture and leadership tips from this episode.
