From the publisher
Too many leaders lead for validation, not impact. And too many organizations are relying on overpriced seminars, gimmicky retreats, and leadership fads to develop their leaders. Are you ready to implement a transformational process to develop impact leaders who develop other leaders? www.SightShift.com

Ep 240Lunch with Chris: Is Your Leadership Training Just Dumb Theater?
What if the meetings, trainings, and retreats at your company are just... performative theater? In this episode, Chris breaks down three moments from Amazon Prime's Company Theater (Season 2) that expose the real patterns destroying your team culture — proving, hiding, and leading for validation instead of impact.

Ep 242Your Team's Complaints Are Data. Here's How to Read Them.
Your team is telling you what they need. You're solving the wrong problem. In this episode of the Make Culture Your Edge series, Chris McAlister and Mark Stanifer dig into the third pillar of the culture model: Right Connection. Most leaders either rush past what their people are actually feeling — or they stay in the moment so long nothing moves forward. Both are failure modes.
