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.
