Leading a Culture of Accountability with Calix CEO Michael Weening
Culture is not a finite element but something we shape daily through our interactions. But how can we create a thriving culture if no one takes ownership of their role in shaping it? In this episode, Michael Weening, CEO of Calix, discusses how leaders can foster a culture of accountability and emphasize our individual responsibility for shaping culture. He also addresses the damaging effects of victimhood in leadership and the workplace, highlighting the importance of taking charge of one's career and how leaders should guide team members in setting realistic goals. Michael shares why the CEO’s job can be tough and how the servant leadership mindset is often lost. We also touch on the necessity and extremity of change, and dig into the trends of “quiet vacationing” and the benefits and challenges of a fully remote setup. ________________ This episode is sponsored by Calix, which helps broadband providers of all sizes simplify their operations, innovate for their subscribers, and grow value for their business and the communities they serve.
