Description

Welcome to Confessions of an Implementer, a podcast by Talent Harbor. We share unique stories of implementers and the companies they’ve transformed to give you a rare glimpse into the system's successes and challenges. I'm your host, Ryan Hogan.


 


Let’s dive in!


 


In this episode, I sit down with CJ Dube, an EOS Implementer, who shares why building an intentionally healthy culture is the foundation for long term business success. From slowing down hiring to strengthen teams, to developing strong middle management and giving timely feedback, she explains how structure, clarity, and care work together to drive growth. CJ also highlights how shifting leadership styles and using tools like the VTO help companies align values, motivate teams, and navigate generational change.
