    Unlocking Team Vanguard: Strategies for Workforce Success with Bryan Howard with Peoplyst
    2025/02/24
    Summary Discussing Workforce and Company Success In the meeting, Michael and Bryan discussed their work and the importance of strong teams in creating great companies. Bryan, the owner and CEO of Peoplyst, a workforce consultancy, shared his experience in the people space for almost three decades. The conversation then shifted to Bryan's book, which Michael expressed interest in discussing further. The conversation ended with Michael's intention to delve deeper into the book's content and its relevance to creating thriving companies. Building a Vanguard Team Culture Bryan discussed the concept of a 'vanguard team' or ' super team,' which refers to individuals at the forefront of society, pushing boundaries and exploring new territories. He emphasized the importance of a growth mindset and a strong team culture for such teams. Bryan also mentioned a free assessment in his book that scores individuals on two axes: growth mindset and team strength. He explained that the highest score, a 75, would place someone in the vanguard quadrant. Bryan also discussed the characteristics of other quadrants, such as the ' monolith,' which represents teams with a fixed mindset but strong team culture. He used the example of newspapers that failed to adapt to digital technology, contrasting them with companies like the Huffington Post that thrived by embracing change. Bryan concluded that his book provides a 6-step methodology for building a vanguard team, starting with mindset. Mindset's Role in Personal and Professional Growth Michael and Bryan discussed the importance of mindset in personal and professional development. Michael shared his journey with burnout and how shifting his mindset helped him. Bryan emphasized the significance of mindset in opening up opportunities and overcoming limitations. They also discussed the mission concept, with Bryan suggesting that a clear mission is essential for an organization's success. Both agreed that having the right mindset makes the other steps easier and helps navigate ever-changing times. Microsoft and Blackberry's Evolution Discussed Bryan discussed the evolution of Microsoft and Blackberry, highlighting how both companies underwent significant changes in their mission and mindset to adapt to new market demands. He emphasized the importance of having a growth mindset and a strong team to pivot and reimagine a brand. Bryan also mentioned Satya Nadella's role in Microsoft's transformation, leading to increased success. Michael agreed with Bryan's points, noting the opportunities that arise from such shifts in mindset and mission. Continuous Innovation and Adaptability Michael and Bryan discussed the importance of continuous innovation and adaptability in business. They highlighted the example of Circuit City, which failed to adapt and eventually went out of business despite being a successful company in the past. They emphasized organizations' need for a roadmap or game plan to navigate challenges and listen to their people for valuable insights. They also stressed the importance of communication and the ability to pivot and be agile in response to changes in the market. Bryan mentioned his upcoming book, "People Problem Solved," which aims to provide a handbook for managers and leaders to help them solve their own people problems. Rebranding: Lessons From Bryan's Experience Bryan shared his experience rebranding his company from Mercury Performance Group to Peoplyst due to a trademark dispute. He initially trademarked the name and logo to protect his company's national and international presence. Still, he received a cease and desist letter from a European company claiming infringement on their trademark. Bryan rebranded his company after a lengthy legal battle to avoid further legal issues. The new name, Peoplyst, has been well-received and surpassed the previous company's top-of-funnel and mid-funnel marketing. Bryan emphasized the importance of resilience and adaptability in business and how it can lead to better outcomes. Michael agreed with Bryan's story and shared his experience working for a nonprofit that was going through a rebranding process. Bryan Offers Book and Future Interview Michael and Bryan had a productive conversation about Bryan's organization, Peoplyst. Bryan offered Michael's listeners a free copy of his book, "The Vanguard Edge," by emailing Bryan.Howard@peoplyst.com with their mailing address. Michael expressed his appreciation for Bryan's time and generosity. They also discussed a future interview where Bryan would interview Michael. Michael mentioned that he had booked a time for this interview. They ended the conversation positively, with Michael promising to send the links to the edited conversation once it's live. https://peoplyst.com/ Dive into The Vanguard Edge and discover Bryan Howard's groundbreaking approach to team development.

    2025/02/12

Shanda emphasized the need for a positive work culture and efficient communication. At the same time, Michael highlighted the potential for all leaders to be human and the need for algorithms to be designed by people. They agreed to discuss these topics, which was expected to last around 25 minutes. Leadership and Culture Building Journey Shanda discussed their 20-year journey in leadership and culture building, emphasizing the importance of retaining excellent employees. They shared their experience working across 20 different industries and their role as President of Mays and Associates, a firm that has served 22,000 individuals in their workshops. Michael acknowledged the impact of their work and the generational changes in the workforce, including the retirement of baby boomers and the rise of Gen. X, millennials, Gen. Z, and Gen. Alpha. Leadership Approaches and Work-Life Balance Michael and Shanda discussed the importance of understanding different leadership approaches based on individual experiences and environments. They agreed that a one-size-fits-all approach to leadership doesn't work and that leaders need to adapt to their specific workforce. Shanda emphasized the importance of trust, transparency, and a clear leadership plan. They also discussed the concept of work-life balance versus work-life harmony, with Shanda suggesting that the latter is more appropriate. Both agreed on the need for leaders to understand their workforce and meet them where they are, as people are motivated by different things. Embracing Authenticity and Playful Work Culture Michael and Shanda discussed the importance of being true to oneself at work and personal life. Michael emphasized the need to find the best version of oneself and apply it consistently rather than trying to be different people in different settings. He also highlighted the value of a playful workplace culture, where colleagues can interact and know each other on a personal level. Michael shared his personal experiences, including his career in public accounting and his oldest daughter's driving skills, to illustrate his points.

Leadership, Self-Awareness, and Emotional Intelligence Michael and Shanda discussed the importance of self-discovery and self-awareness in leadership and management. Michael emphasized that leaders often struggle with anxiety and confidence issues, which can manifest as mean or direct behavior. He suggested that these individuals can improve by being open to change and seeking advice from others. Shanda agreed, noting the impact of culture on addressing issues within an organization. They also touched on the importance of emotional intelligence and the need for individuals to be self-reflective and aware of their strengths and weaknesses. AI's Impact on Workplace Civility Shanda discussed the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace, highlighting its impact on workplace civility. She emphasized the importance of leaders being mindful of the tone and content of their communications, as AI can inadvertently set a cultural tone. Shanda also noted that AI is still learning and growing; its responses depend on the input it receives. Michael agreed with Shanda's points, adding that AI should not be seen as a replacement but a tool and should focus on developing artificial common sense rather than artificial intelligence. Addressing Past Experiences and Baggage Michael and Shanda discussed the challenges of dealing with people who bring their past experiences and baggage into new situations. They agreed that it's crucial to approach these situations with empathy and understanding rather than anger or frustration. Michael suggested that people should be allowed to learn from their mistakes and prevent them from happening again.
