Episode 20: How Better Leaders Create Better Cultures | Anton Gunn

The Nick Halaris Show

Greetings Everyone.

This week on the Nick Halaris Show we are featuring popular keynote speaker and leadership consultant, Anton Gunn. Through a long, diverse, and impressive career in both business and public service, Anton has become a leading voice for organizations looking to build world class cultures. He has deep experience as a public servant—as a former State Representative in South Carolina and as a Senior Advisor to President Obama—has written several bestselling books on leadership—“The Presidential Principles” and “Just Lead”—and inspires audiences almost every week of the year as a keynote speaker.
I wanted to have Anton on the show to learn more about what he’s seeing and learning from his work with leaders and organizations around the country. Clearly, there’s something really important happening in the labor market right now. Not a week goes by where we don’t hear about things like workplace toxicity, quiet quitting, or declining labor force participation. We’re even seeing big labor strikes and the beginnings of what looks like a rebirth of the organized labor movement. Given what he does day-in and day-out, Anton is the perfect person to help us decode what’s really going-on here. In this engaging discussion, we explore:

· The origins of toxic workplace culture

· Just why we’ve seen such a huge uptick in people quitting across the country

· What leaders should do if they want to build a world class culture

· What’s working and not working with corporate DEI initiatives

· The 3 questions of a great leader

· The relationship between the commitment to service and great leadership

&

· Much, much more

As always, hope you enjoy!
