Leading Organizations That Matter

About Leading Organizations That Matter

A podcast covering topics of interest for those who lead, support, or simply care about "organizations that matter". These include mission driven organizations that exist in order to improve the lives of those who experience great challenges. Profitability is obviously important... but so too is the recognition of the other forms of value generated in these settings. Podcast topics include how we finding meaning, purpose, joy, and impact in our work, organizational culture, leadership challenges, changing the trajectory of struggling organizations, and practical leadership strategies. I also draw from my career, coaching, and consulting experiences to describe the keys to success for leaders who want to ascend in their careers. Episodes are brief and to the point. Occasionally, I interview leaders and experts in related fields and hope to bring you inspiration and information to facilitate your personal leadership and life journey.

It pushed me to consider shifting the podcast slightly toward those deeper, practical questions about building a meaningful work life. I also talk about the future of the show... audio, video, or both... and invite ...

   113. Does Faith Fit?

   In this episode, I wrestle with a question that’s become increasingly real for me: Does faith fit in our professional lives? For most of my career, I kept my faith and my work in separate rooms, door firmly shut. But lately, that door has been opening... through podcast guests, LinkedIn engagement, and the growing cultural hunger for something deeper and more enduring. I share what I’m noticing, why these conversations resonate, and I invite listeners to weigh in as I explore whether there’s ...

   112. I’m Great at Multitasking - Yeah Right!

I also highlight the growing cultural backlash... from vinyl records to dumb phones... and offer a simple, powerful practice to reclaim focus: batching. It’s a call to intentionality, mindfulness, and choosing presen...

63. Jim Carlough: Change Management vs. Managing Change

Published 15 Apr 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I think there needs to be that check in balance in place. So it doesn't necessarily need to be somebody from the outside that comes in to manage that. It could be somebody internal, but somebody has to have ownership for the project itself. Um, and then that ownership has to report to the executive team on the processes that they're changing, how they're changing and evolving them and what the outcomes are going to be. And then at the end of the day or at the end of the project, you know, come back with, okay, let's see where we are today in terms of output and in terms of efficiency or whatever the component is, um, to make sure that in fact they've gotten to end of job.
