Gapology Radio

What creates the environment, or culture, where team members feel engaged? Well, we should begin by examining the driving force we can directly control… ourselves, as their leaders. In this Gapology Radio podcast episode, we discuss creating a Leadership Rhythm to reflect on the engagement levels of our team and ourselves, to intentionally design our weeks to grow those levels and improve overall results and satisfaction.

Change happens. It happens for our team, and it happens for us. How they, and we, move through the change can often define who we are and the things we work toward. As leaders, it is up to us to help guide and encourage them along that journey. This week’s Gapology Radio Podcast discusses “DABA,” a tool to help prepare for change and support your team as they move through it.

This Gapology Radio podcast episode examines our team members’ level of commitment to the things they do and how our connection with them drives that commitment and overall engagement. Our responsibility as their leader is to understand this to provide the things they require that keep them committed. 

Creating connection begins in the early stages of an employee’s journey with your organization but also throughout their career through development opportunities and launches of new initiatives where learning and growth are required. In this Gapology Radio podcast episode, we discuss leveraging the power of the Habit Ladder, one of our most popular tools, to grow knowledge, skills, commitment, and connection with your team.

In this episode, we look at creating connection with your team to help them move from Knowing to Doing to Being when it comes to engagement in their roles. Performing at a high level is possible when reviewing your team, their level of learning and impact, and then taking action as a leader. 

In this episode, we look at how we, as leaders, connect with our teams and ourselves by leveraging one of our most popular tools, TxM=P (Talent x Mindset = Performance). 

Team dynamics ebb and flow over time. Is yours acting in a dependent state where they rely on you for everything? Are they working solely in an independent, siloed state? Or are you creating an interdependent culture where they work collaboratively and leverage the strengths of each other to create exceptional results? In this Gapology Radio episode, we discuss these questions by looking at them through the lens of Gapology.

We all want to grow. Whether in our personal lives or within the scope of our work, growth is essential to staying effective, efficient, and relevant. Without continuous improvement in our skills and knowledge, we tend to fall into a state of stagnancy and apathy that can be extremely detrimental to our overall life and career goals. In this episode, we discuss ways to apply Gapology to create a culture of growth within your organization and individual life as well.

What methods and vehicles of communication have you found to be the most impactful for your team’s understanding, retention, and action? In this week’s Gapology Radio podcast, we discuss 3 steps to establish a structured, intentional process to deliver the messages you routinely share with your teams. 

Does your organization create action from its results? Do you? What are you doing with any information you gather from your weekly analysis efforts? In this Gapology Radio podcast episode, we discuss methods for looking at your top performers, measuring their results, and then establishing a culture of leveraging that insight to create action throughout the rest of the team. 

On this week’s Gapology Radio Podcast episode, we are thrilled to feature a winning leader from one of our Gapology Workshops. Patrick Gonzales joins us to share his top learnings and how they have impacted his leadership since attending. Listen in to hear how his experience is shaping his career! 

Creating a culture of winning is a process, not a destination. It is a continuous, ever-evolving environment intentionally built through dedication and focus. In this episode, we discuss methods from Gapology that you can leverage to define and design that culture in your workplace.

In this episode, we kick off a new series discussing ways to create specific cultural elements through the lens of Gapology and the methods we share. This series starts with a conversation on creating a "Culture of Purpose." "Purpose" is a critical, foundational element for any successful organization, as it emotionally connects people to the overall objective and provides a clear direction for everyone's efforts. 

Creating the career of our dreams requires a firm understanding of our past and, even more importantly, our present. To get to where we want to be, we need to know where we are, and briefly looking into our past for clues of potential obstacles helps us improve and more effectively move forward. The IMBAR Mapping process is the perfect vehicle to do all of this. As we wrap up our short series discussing IMBAR, we outline this simple, yet powerful process. 

Each of us has a story. We are writing a narrative every day that defines our lives. Many of us are not even aware of this fact, and as a result, we trudge through life without any sense of control or purpose, feeling unfulfilled, frustrated, and directionless. In reality, however, we, more than anyone else, have the ability to create the story we desire. In this episode, we discuss the power of creating a Storyboard based on how we currently see ourselves as a process to design the story we desire.

Like it or not, your IMBAR impacts your team. Your Identity, Mindset, and Behaviors create the Actions and Results that the team produces. You can see it. You can feel it every day. And by knowing this, you have a tremendous opportunity to do something really amazing with it. Their IMBAR is a direct reflection of your own IMBAR. Like a mirror in which you come face-to-face with yourself, your team’s Identity, Mindset, and Behaviors are really your own.  So how do you create something amazing? Tune in to find out!

In this Gapology Radio podcast episode, we begin a new series discussing a process of mapping your Identity, Mindset, Behavior, Action, and Results, known by the acronym: IMBAR. We share a brief introduction and history while laying the foundation for this new series, where we will share insights into how you can leverage the power of IMBAR to transform your career, life, and the lives of those you impact… no matter what level of an organization you work in. 

Most organizations today have a “Meeting Culture,” and their teams commonly suffer from “Meeting Fatigue.” Driven by remote work and many other factors, there is no getting around it, and if not managed well, a Meeting Culture can be unproductive and demotivating. Listen to this week’s Gapology Radio podcast episode to learn 5 steps to make meetings more effective through a Gapology lens.

Where have you set your "Bar?" Do you know? The “Bar” in this context is the level of expectation for performance that you are going after. In this episode, we discuss five career-building behaviors that winning leaders can leverage to set themselves apart. 

In this episode, we have an in-depth conversation with Jonas Lee-Brockhoff, an Emerging Leader, to hear about his experience as a newly promoted IT Services and Technology Solutions leader and formerly enlisted United States Marine.
