In this episode of Culture Camp: Host Jason is joined by Leigh Quinn and David Spader of Potentia Assessments to talk about PRO-daptive®, the leadership process that brings structure to the toughest calls, especially in a family business. Here’s what you’ll hear about:

  • A process for emotional decisions: why families decide with emotion, and how an agreed process forces the right conversations
  • Success and satisfaction: why both results matter, and why some people lean toward one over the other
  • Complement, don’t compete: how a success-oriented and a satisfaction-oriented partner become two sides of the same coin
  • Step one, favorability: why “unfavorable” means the odds are low, not that someone is failing
  • Earn back control: why leaders hold the reins when the odds are low and hand them over as people prove themselves
  • Step two, root cause: behavior, environment, or task, and why motivation gaps are harder to fix than capability gaps
  • Inside vs. outside forces: how naming the bigger external forces takes the blame out of a hard conversation
  • The one-to-five scale: from developing to commanding, how to know how much to lead and how much to let go
  • Know your default: why naming your natural management style keeps your team from misreading you

We’re emotional beings, not rational beings.

– David Spader

We both walk away feeling heard, understood, and we have agreement about what we’re going to do.
