DI 170 The Power of Task Quotients in Building High-Performing Teams
About this episode
Lisa L. Levy discusses leadership and organizational change with Dr. Kevin Gazzara, focusing on the importance of task quotients in building high-performing teams.
What if the fastest path to better culture, higher employee engagement, and lower turnover isn’t another initiative—but better leadership and coaching? In this episode, Lisa L. Levy sits down with Dr. Kevin Gazzara, CEO of Magna Leadership Solutions, to unpack what actually drives organizational change from the inside out. With 30 years of industry experience—including 18 years at Intel—Dr. Gazzara shares what he’s learned about leadership development, why senior management buy-in is non-negotiable for cultural transformation, and how middle managers can “coach up” to influence change even when they don’t control the strategy. We also dive into the power of embracing failure as a learning tool, creating safe environments that support innovation, and a compelling case study showing how aligning people to roles that match their strengths can dramatically reduce turnover. Plus: hiring for talent and fit, not just skills, and why “a little turnover” can sometimes be healthy. ✨ Keywords: -leadership -management -coaching -organizational culture -employee engagement -failure -talent acquisition -case study -executive coaching -task quotient 🎁 Gift for the Audience: Get the lite…
