In this powerful episode, Anton Guinea sits down with Patrick (Pat) Fordyce, COO of Berg Engineering and Author of ‘The Stability Cycle’, to look at what it truly takes to drive operational discipline and human-centred leadership. Anton shares a life-changing story from a safety walk he did with Pat years ago, illustrating how moving from seeing a physical hazard to recognizing the real-world human consequence can build true psychological safety and protect teams.
The conversation dives deep into strategic leadership alignment, exploring the four pillars of operational discipline (Systems, Symbols, Behaviour, and Structure) and utilizing Patrick Lencioni’s ‘Five Dysfunctions of a Team’ to move executive teams from conflict to total commitment. Tune in to learn how to shift from unconscious habits to conscious change, and why great leaders expect people to fail during transitions so they can support them through it.
