Jonathan Raymond is the founder of Refound.com and the author of a new book called Good Authority . Jonathan has worked in many businesses, including, in the wind energy sector, as a lawyer, and as a yoga instructor. He began his work as a business consultant when he became the CEO of EMyth in 2011.
In this broadcast, Jonathan Raymond and I talk about:
How becoming the CEO of EMyth helped him begin to find his balance in life.
Why it is that Refound.com has the goal of helping the helper .
Some of the common challenges to holding people accountable in business and organizations.
How to hold people accountable while keeping an open heart. How to be a boss who is not too tough or too soft.
Identifying some of the symptoms of being a boss who is not great at accountability with his team, including:
Constantly finding yourself mediating disputes between people.
Having the sense that there are sloppy mistakes being made by your team.
Having people continually check in with you on tasks they should be able to complete themselves.
Finding that every meeting ends with a call for better communication.
Frequently seeing that something is off with your team but not doing anything about it.
How to take proactive steps to avoid these accountability and communication problems by naming the problem and setting up a culture of communication within your organization.
The problems that happen when bosses forget that they do have power, which can cause a barrier to honest communication.
His theory of the Trickle-Down-Transformation , how it happens and why it does not work.
How the alternative to Trickle-Down-Transformation is real time feed back, a culture of communication within the organization, and consistent outside feedback from those who are structurally outside of the day-to-day operations of the organization.
