In this episode of the Surfacing Leaders podcast, host Marc Koehler sits down with David Allison, a two-time bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the world’s leading expert on human values.
Together, they explore why traditional demographic-based leadership strategies are failing in today’s workplace and what to do instead. David introduces his groundbreaking Valuegraphics Project, the world’s first global inventory of what truly drives people: their values. He explains how leaders can use values-based data to build more connected teams, shape inclusive cultures, and make faster, more aligned decisions.
With nearly a million surveys conducted in 152 languages, David’s research uncovers five “togetherness values” that are shared by high-performing teams across every industry and region. He also shares simple, actionable questions any leader can ask to better understand what motivates their people.
This episode offers powerful insights for leaders seeking to: – Build unity in diverse, multigenerational teams – Make smarter, faster decisions rooted in human truth – Replace outdated stereotypes with authentic human understanding
Discover how to unlock the full potential of your people by seeing them for who they truly are.
