The Culture Nerds - A Leadership Podcast

By: Simon Thiessen & Kirralea Walkerden
  • Summary

  • Want to constantly grow as a leader and shape a great culture in your workplace? This is the podcast for you.

    Of course, if you’re a yoghurt fan who typed in ‘culture’ and ended up here …(sorry, nerdy workplace culture joke). If you’re a serious person who believes serious topics must be covered in a serious way, we may not be the petri dish for you either.

    But, if you want lived executive experience and decades working with corporate clients, government agencies & NFPs, all topped off by the hilarious hosts (at least we think so!), welcome - we're glad you could join us!

    We nerd out on leadership and workplace culture – which is why we’re good at them. We tackle the topics you need to develop as a leader and to transform the workplace culture you have into the workplace culture you want. And we have fun doing it.

    Hard hitting topics. Easy listening.

  • Audio Blog: A 5 Minute Test of Authenticity

    No one does it as well as you do, right? Have you ever had that feeling that if you want a job done properly, you'll have to do it yourself? Have you ever asked the question why aren't my people as committed as me? Both questions are indicators that Employee Engagement may not be as high as you would like it to be. But are your expectations too high or is engagement actually low? There's a simple test that managers can use to gain some insight into the engagement levels in their teams.

    There are four indicators that will help you get a feel for the truth on-the-ground when it comes to Employee Engagement in your organisation,

    1. Look at any slippage in habits when you return. It's often hard for your team to immediately raise their standards again when you come back, especially if you've been gone for a longer period.
    2. Pay attention to the metrics. Do they indicate that intensity, quality etc. Have dropped off?
    3. Listen to feedback from other team members, from other departments and from external clients.
    4. Take time out from clearing the backlog on your desk and make your own observations. Have deadlines been met? Has expected progress been made? Have quotas been achieved? Were the team's values upheld?

  • The three needs your workplace culture must deliver on
    Apr 25 2024

    Why does your organisation exist? In fact, why does any organisation exist?

    It really comes down to meeting needs. At a superficial level, it is obvious that we need to meet the needs of the people we serve. But, in reality, for organisations to succeed long term and to be sustainable, they need to meet needs on three different levels.

    When organisations ignore any of the three needs, the culture skews and both morale and results become unsustainable

    The first level is the obvious one: meeting the needs of the people your organisation serves – customers, patients, users, whatever they are called in your organisation. Those needs must be effective and at a high standard. If you operate in a competitive environment, you need to meet them better than your competitors do.
