⚖ Are associations better than corporations?
What can corporate leadership learn from associations about building deeply empowered organizations that stand the test of time?
In this episode of "The Business Philosopher Within You" podcast, host I sit down with Chris Vaughan, PhD from Sequence Consulting to explore these questions. We dive into the unique dynamics that make associations thrive, even in challenging environments.
Among the threads we explored:
- How associations leverage their "platypus-like" multi-dimensional structure to stay resilient and adaptable.
- What the triple bottom line is and how it improves employees and volunteer engagement.
- The strategies used by associations to engage members and sustain growth that are directly transferrable to for-profit companies.
- Lessons for corporate leaders: leading from purpose and mission rather than fear and greed.
- The power of distributed decision-making and its role in driving organizational innovation.
Tune in to uncover the secrets behind the success of associations and how they can inspire blowout performance as well as lasting endurance in the corporate world.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
