In this episode of Culture Camp: Host Jason is joined by David Spader and Leigh Quinn of Potentia Assessments to talk about organizational development and building a healthy workplace culture. Here’s what you’ll hear about:
- Who Potentia is — research-backed solutions that help businesses hire smarter, develop leaders, and retain talent
- The DISC model — the four personal styles it identifies: Dominant (D), Interacting (I), Steady (S), and Cautious (C)
- Natural self vs. work self — why understanding the gap between the two matters
- Energy states in leadership — how positive and negative states affect the way you lead
- Adapting your communication — matching your style to what each team member needs
- Self-awareness as a leadership tool — recognizing and managing your own negative states
- The “coping state” trap — how shifting focus to individual needs over organizational ones lowers the odds a change initiative succeeds
- A check-and-balance system — the approach David and Leigh built to prompt self-awareness and drive positive change
- The bottom line — why self-awareness and balanced thinking are central to strong leadership and organizational success
