| Build a culture of accountability with Work Design | 14 Apr 2026 | 00:09:03 | |
892. Is your team missing targets, dropping the ball, or responding to missed deadlines with a shrug? Many leaders believe accountability is a personality trait—you either have it or you don’t. But in reality, accountability is a design problem. When ownership is lacking, it’s usually because the "work design" itself is getting in the way. In this episode, Rachel shares a case study of a pharmaceutical manufacturer where low accountability wasn't just a frustration, it was a safety risk. You’ll learn the results of a real-world "work design pulse check" and the five simple, high-impact tweaks that transformed a culture of "oh well" into a culture of "I’ve got this."

| Why is your team moving fast but staying stuck? | 27 Jan 2026 | 00:08:21 | |
881. We’re all under pressure to move faster, ship earlier, and do more. But as Rachel Cooke explains this week, "speed" often looks a lot more like chaos when the foundation isn't there. If your team is missing deadlines or burning out, the issue probably isn't a lack of effort—it's a lack of the "unsexy" structure that makes agility possible. Rachel looks at how to spot the difference between true agility and "panic with better marketing." She shares how to talk to leaders about conflicting priorities, how to stop casual executive brainstorming from turning into accidental team directives, and why establishing operating rhythms is the only way to kill the constant "fire drill" culture.

| Purpose is a verb: How to practice intentional leadership, with Ira Bedzow | 06 Jan 2026 | 00:33:32 | |
878. We often talk about "finding" our purpose as if it’s a destination on a map. But what if purpose isn’t a noun, but a verb?
