Leading Through Change: Why Values and Culture Matter More Than Ever

What does it take to lead well when everything around you is shifting? In this episode, Jacob sits down with Adam Birnbaum—executive coach, former CEO, and Fortune 500 leader—to unpack how leadership and company culture have transformed over the past five years.

Adam shares insights from his experience working with CEOs and executives across industries, exploring:

* How COVID reshaped employee expectations and accelerated the need for meaningful work

* Why culture and values must move from “wall posters” to everyday decision-making

* The shift from career ladders to “career lily pads” and what it means for retention

* Practical ways small and large companies can define and reinforce their values

* How leaders can adapt to meet employees where they are—without losing sight of company goals

Whether you’re leading a startup team or managing at scale, this conversation will give you a new lens for thinking about alignment, values, and what it really means to build a thriving workplace today.
