What do you do when change intrudes on your best-laid plans, delivering sucker punches weekly if not daily? How do you lead when you wake up just as tired as you were when you went to bed, exhausted from swimming upstream in a current of negative chaos? What if you could leverage change as your competitive advantage instead of letting it destroy your culture? Transform your approach to change on this special LinkedIn Live episode of the Work Positive Podcast. Dr. Joey Faucette unveils his groundbreaking T.R.A.N.S.F.O.R.M. framework, drawing from insights of nine remarkable Work Positive Podcast guests who figured out how to create cultures that don't just survive change—they leverage it to grow people and profits. Listen as Dr. Joey explores:
☀️ How Dave Sanderson kept his head during the Miracle on the Hudson and what it teaches about mindset ☀️ Why relentless vision overcomes uncertainty better than chasing certainty ever could ☀️ The Adaptability Quotient (AQ)—the #1 skill employers seek according to McKinsey and the World Economic Forum ☀️ How aligning strategy with culture prevents the 70% failure rate of change initiatives ☀️ Why magnetic culture happens one conversation at a time, not through control
Dr. Joey transforms how leaders think about change by proving that adversity isn't a problem to overcome—it's the raw material for your breakthrough.
🔑 Key Insight: "Adversity isn't a problem, but the raw material for your breakthrough. Like a martial artist uses the weight of their opponent in the leverage of their technique, you turn it around so your offense takes control and you stop playing defense. Culture eats strategy for breakfast—match strategy with culture. If you don't, culture will overshadow strategy each and every time."
