Welcome to Leadovation.
I’m your host, Dean Newlund.
If you’re listening to this podcast, there’s a good chance you’re responsible for other people—leaders, teams, organizations—and you care about the experience you create for them.
Most organizations don’t struggle because they lack vision or strategy.
They struggle because there’s a growing gap between what leaders say matters and what people actually experience at work.
This podcast is about closing that gap.
Through conversations with leaders, thinkers, and practitioners—and through stories from my own work—I explore what it really means to walk your talk. Not as a slogan, but as a lived experience. How leadership shows up in presence, in decisions, in systems, and in the small moments that quietly shape culture.
We’re leading in a world that’s moving faster than our nervous systems were designed to handle. AI is accelerating work. Burnout and disconnection are rising. And many leaders are asking an honest question: How do we drive performance without losing our humanity?
On Leadovation, we slow that question down.
We look at how leaders can become the experience they promise—inside themselves, with their teams, and across their organizations—so that trust, meaning, and well-being aren’t ideas on a wall, but realities people feel.
If this conversation connects to something you’re wrestling with as a leader, you’re in the right place.
Let’s begin.
