138. Culture Is the Strategy: Turning KPIs into KBIs and Accountability into Abundance

Most founders don't aunch their company to become glorified payroll managers—they set out to change something. Yet somewhere between startup adrenaline and scaling stress, culture became the after-thought, the “soft stuff” we’d get to someday. In this episode of The Becoming You Show, Leah tears up that tired playbook and insists that culture is strategy—the invisible architecture that determines whether your big idea flies or flat-lines.
We’ll explore:

• The Culture Void: what predictably happens when you try to scale without a living, breathing framework for culture (hint: drama, rework, and energy leaks).
  
• Accountability, Unfiltered: why accountability ≠ blame or micromanaging, and how our misunderstanding of it sabotages results in both life and business.
  
• From KPI to KBI: how Key Behavior Indicators supercharge traditional metrics, aligning daily actions with the energetic essence of your mission.
  
• The Power-Hour Blueprint: Leah’s proven method for embedding culture and accountability into a 60-minute weekly cadence that fuels sustainable scalability—not white-knuckled growth.
  
• Abundant vs. Scarcity Energy: how dialing in KBIs shifts your team from “have to” to “can’t-wait-to,” creating momentum you can actually enjoy.
  

If you’re ready to stop managing people and start unleashing their capacity, grab your earbuds. Culture isn’t a department—it’s the strategy that turns promise into performance.
