64: Improving Your Workplace Culture Using REBEL CULTURE Principles
This week we are going to be talking about workplace culture and culture in general, to do that Nana is joined by a leader in this cultural movement. His name is Michael Sandeck, who turned his passion for educational reform into a global call to action for corporate leadership transformation. Michael is a bestselling author, speaker, and the founder and CEO of Skyrocket Education and Rebel Culture.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Michael was working in education for years in some of the toughest neighborhoods in all the United States in neighborhoods where trauma and drugs and violence were high where funding and infrastructure were low. He started to notice that there were schools that were just a block away from each other that had radically different cultures.
- The narrative was that you can’t have a great school here, but there were places where there were great schools in some of the most underserved zip codes in our whole country. He started to wonder why, what’s different in this place versus that place? It’s the same exact scenario, and Michael saw that there were leaders who were being really rebellious in the way they operated there.
- Michael started to look into the corporate world as well and saw that so many of the same trends were occurring where there were leaders who weren’t open to feedback, who didn’t define really clear expectations for their teams. They didn’t set a vision and values, or if they did, nobody embodied them.
- The best athletes in the world have coaches. Everybody who’s great at anything has or has ever been great at anything has had a coach at some point.
- Michaels five principles of leadership are 1. Mindset. 2. Systems. 3. Communication. 4. Execution. 5. Accountability.
BEST MOMENTS
‘There were these rebel leaders who did things differently than their peers’
‘Discomfort is where change happens’
