REWIND: How do you drive superior results by serving others? | Ep. 222
"Servant leadership is the most aspirational thing you'll ever try to do. If you think it's easy to think about others over yourself, I've got news for you. You're going to mess up every couple of hours."
Embracing a mindset of serving others before ourselves seems easy on paper, yet those who try often learn that embracing these principles is no easy task. When we work toward listening before speaking, meeting our team where they are at, and constantly looking for who we should serve, the results speak for themselves.
Indiana University Kelley School of Business Dean Idalene "Idie" Kesner and ROI Podcast Host Matt Martella sat down with Cheryl Bachelder, BS'78, MBA'78, who is the former CEO of Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Inc. and author of "Dare to Serve: How to Drive Superior Results by Serving Others." Today she serves as a director for Chick Fil A and US Foods Holding Co.
On this episode, Bachelder shares the importance of embracing a leadership style focused on uplifting those around us before we lift up ourselves.

Part One: How to see humans more than just resources in an organization | Ep.202
One of the core philosophies with our show is believing that organizations are only as good as the people who run that company. This means we believe it's all about people. If people succeed, the organization succeeds; if people fail... well, you get the idea. Yet, when it comes to managing people, we view our employees the same way we view our time, our money, and our assets - as resources needing managed. But if we are to keep our teams happy, if we are to recruit the best and brightest individuals into our organizations, and if we are to scale our business to the next levels, how we treat and manage our employees will determine our success. On this first of two part series, we're sitting down with Executive Coach Mason McDonald who shares what we can do as leaders to recruit, keep, and grow our teams; ultimately creating a winning culture that grows our business.

As an organizational leader, our core task is being fair with our team. Whether being fair in raises, fair in hiring practices, fair in promotions, or fair in policy, we have an obligation to uphold these standards. Yet, being fair is not enough.

Maybe that looks like re-examining our reimbursement policies? Or simplifying communication standards?

Can bad personality traits bring good results? | Ep. 179
The dark triad of personalities focuses on three specific traits: narcissism, machiavellism, and psychopathy.

Whether it's Enron or Tyco, some organizations simply have a hard time playing by the rules. But how do companies get so far off the rails?

How to avoid ghosting in business | Ep. 107
Have you ever tried a dating app? If so, chances are you have been ghosted by a date before. You know, you go on a date, text back and forth constantly, and feel like all signs are pointing to a more serious relationship. Then all of a sudden, that person just disappears. No calls, no texts, no response of any kind. Interestingly enough, this phenomenon is starting to spill over into the employment world; leaving many organizations scratching their heads in confusion when a brand new employee does not show up on their first day of work. On this episode, we're sitting down with Human Resource Management professor Liz Malatestinic who is helping us avoid being ghosted.

How to help our family choose the best retirement living? | Ep. 101
There are few things that link generations together; and that’s the beauty of observing and defining generations. Some of the greatest innovations throughout the course of humanity happen because of generational differences. From a generation who said we will no longer judge a man or a woman by the color of their skin, but the character of their heart; to a generation determined to tear down a wall dividing Germany during the Cold War. Each generation longs to make their mark upon history. Yet, as each generation comes of age – so to speak, there are struggles we all share – no matter how different we all seem.
One of these similarities are aging parents. Every single generation reaches a point where taking care of mom and dad become a top priority. How will we ensure their physical health, mental health, and even spiritual health? On this episode, we’re sitting down with the Executive Director of Fox Run Retirement Community Mike McCormick, and having a conversation about how…

Is the healthcare industry focused on the business side of healing or the people they care for? | Ep. 99
This seemingly simple, yet at times taboo question, brings multiple answers depending where you fall inside the healthcare spectrum. As a patient, one may assume a hospital's main priority focuses on solely increasing revenue, where as a healthcare professional may completely disagree, citing their personal driving factor of genuinely assisting an individual in need. Could it be possible both trains of though exist, simultaneously? And if so, which one should take precedent? On this episode, we're sitting down with System Chief Nursing Officer of St. Vincent Health Cindy Adams to tackle this tough question.

How to sell your successful startup | Ep. 83
Few things beat the thrill of taking an idea and creating an entire business from it.

On this episode, we’re sitting down with Randy Stocklin, CEO of One Click Ventures, who led his company through a buy-out and how he prepared his organization for the transition.

Part One: How Indiana can decrease the talent shortage | Ep. 81
No one is safe or exempt from industry disruptors; including higher education.

How to be super happy and thrive at work | Ep. 80
Monday morning hits like a ton of bricks. As we mentally struggle with finding our motivation for a new work week, we sluggishly brush our teeth, button our shirts, and sip our morning coffee, hoping the flavor awakens our purpose. Sadly, according to a Gallup study, around two-thirds of the American workforce feel the same way – the lack of purpose. So why would we spend 40 hours of our week in a place we dread or simply view as just a job? On this episode, we’re sitting down with an Executive Coach, with over 20 years of employee engagement and emotional intelligence training, who’s showing us how to be super happy and thrive at work.

With uncertainty if both sides will reach a deal in time; on this episode, we’re sitting down with one of our Kelley experts, Professor Darrell Brown, who’s going to help us navigate our organizations through these choppy economic waters.
