Welcome to Episode 156 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast we talk with Jonathan Raymond, CEO of Refound, which offers leadership training and consulting to businesses looking to grow, build a high-performing culture and reach ambitious objectives — by blending personal and professional growth. Jonathan explores with us the need to have transparent, honest conversations if you want your managers to become better leaders who think about the future of your business … and your employees to become better people as they work to help you build a more profitable, more sustainable business.

As employees become “increasingly unwilling to tolerate a disconnect between the company that they work for and what they want to see out in the world,” Jonathan believes we’ll see employees demand that the company’s values align with their own. To that end, he talks with us about tools he uses to have difficult conversations with managers and employees.

So if you want to know:

– Why you can’t just say that you’re a “people first business”
– How meeting people “where they are” leads to a collaborative, productive conversation
– About the danger of managers who are “too much in the weeds day to day”
– The importance of admitting what you’re bad at
– How to start and manage a difficult conversation
