The most effective leaders don't just perform, they facilitate. #The7MythsofLeadershipinBusiness #leadershipdevelopment #organizationalCulture

An Open Door Policy means very little if the emotional climate says, "Enter at Your Own Risk" #leadership #talentdevelopment #organizationalculture

What aren’t we talking about? Make it a ritual. End every exec. meeting with: “What’s something we’re not discussing — but should be?” ✅ You’ll surface deeper truths. ✅ You’ll normalize courage. #ResilientLeadership #OrganizationalCulture #LeadershipROI #PsychologicalSafety #CrisisLeadership #RVBResults

One unheard voice saved a company $12 million. That’s not a typo. We worked with a leadership team where a junior engineer hesitated to speak up for months. When she finally did, she shared a buried risk in their system. The fix? Simple. The savings? Enormous. Imagine if her voice had stayed silent. Leaders: Silence is expensive. And courageous cultures don’t happen by accident — they’re designed. ✅ Do your systems invite truth? ✅ Do your people feel safe to be bold? ✅ Is curiosity more valued than control? It’s time we stop calling voice activation a “soft skill.” It’s an executive imperative. #ResilientLeadership #OrganizationalCulture #LeadershipROI #PsychologicalSafety #CrisisLeadership #RVBResults

Most leaders think they know what’s going on inside their company. But according to Dr. Rob Bogosian, only 4% of the real problems ever make it up to the top. That stat floored me. And it’s one of many mind-blowing insights Rob shared with me on the latest episode of the Hire Learning Podcast. Rob’s one of the sharpest minds in leadership development I’ve ever met. He’s built CEO succession plans for Fortune 500s. He’s spent decades studying the science of culture and communication. AND is a published author of "Breaking Corporate Silence" – a highly relevant book on one of the most overlooked risks in organizational leadership. Really worth a read! In this episode, we talk about: 🔹 What corporate silence really costs—and how to break it 🔹 The traits that actually define high-performing CEOs 🔹 The wildest job interview story I’ve heard in a while 🔹 Why leaders need to stop talking and start listening This is one of those episodes you’ll want a notebook for. 🎧 Link in comments. Would love to hear what stands out to you most 👇

Too often, we mistake silence for alignment. But silence isn’t peace — it’s pressure. Your biggest threat might not be competition. It might be the insight you’ve ignored. At RVB Associates, we help leadership teams build Voice Activation Cultures — where insight can flow freely, truth travels faster, and innovation doesn’t die in the dark. #leadership #culture #talent #leadershipdevelopment

What if the biggest threat to your business isn’t external — but the silence inside your own walls? Silence in Organizations Isn't Peace, It's Pressure. When was the last time your team surprised you with a truth you didn’t expect? #leadership #organizationalculture #communicationstrategy #CultureofVoice

Tacit Knowledge, the type of understanding shared predominantly among colleagues, often unfolds during intentional social gatherings like training and development sessions. In a recent leadership development program, a significant "challenge" concerning a sourcing problem in China was openly discussed. Remarkably, a fellow associate swiftly provided a solution that resulted in a substantial cost-saving of $120,000 for the company. This valuable exchange transpired within a mere 15 minutes. Impressive, isn't it? How's that for Development ROI? #Training #leadershipdevelopment #talentreview
