In this episode of ConverHERsations with Kristie Clayton, Kristie sits down with Lisa McCurdy to explore what it truly means to build a culture of accountability—and why culture must be lived, not just written down.
Lisa shares her journey into the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), how she transitioned from a full-time Integrator to fractional leadership, and why clear values, measurable expectations, and courageous conversations are the foundation of healthy, high-performing teams.
Together, Kristie and Lisa unpack:
• Why culture starts with the visionary and must be modeled consistently
• The integrator’s role in leading, managing, and holding teams accountable through core values
• How measurable expectations and scorecards remove emotion and create clarity
• The power of peer accountability and why it accelerates trust and performance
• Common mistakes leaders make when avoiding tough people decisions—and how that impacts the entire team
• How integrators can give visionaries space to dream without becoming bottlenecks or “dream killers”
• The importance of play, curiosity, and timing in visionary–integrator partnerships
Lisa also shares personal stories that shaped her leadership philosophy, including honoring her mother as her first visionary influence and her passion for empowering the next generation of women leaders.
This episode is a must-listen for founders, visionaries, integrators, and leadership teams who want to strengthen culture, improve accountability, and create organizations where people genuinely enjoy working together—without sacrificing clarity or performance.
