From Jamba Juice to Chief Heart Officer.

Claude Silver didn’t follow the HR rulebook—she rewrote it.

No CV could explain her impact.

Empathy was the job.

🎙️ Her story is live now on Corey-osity Unleashed (stepituphr.com/corey-osityu...)

Don’t remove the splinter—show the first aid kit.

Gen Z doesn’t want rescuing, coddling or micromanaging. They want coaching, empowerment, respect.

Claude Silver nails it.

If your hiring still favors “culture fit,” you’re hiring mirrors, not challengers.

Claude Silver dropped degree filters & rewrote the rules at Vayner.

🧠 Culture add > comfort.

Most values? 🖼️ Poster. 📌 Slide. 🤷‍♂️ Ignored.

Garry Ridge (WD‑40 CEO, “Dean of Dumbassery”) did it differently:
👉 Hierarchical values. A ladder.
Each one backed the next.

Result? Clarity. Progress. 🔥 Not fluff. Strategic firepower.

Day 1: “I’m your Manager.” Cue: don’t ask for raises, question meetings, or crack in the bathroom.

Alternative: “I’m your Coach—here to help you win.” A whole new energy: supported, challenged, heard.

GarryRidge ditched managers for coaches—93% vs. 32% engagement. Which are you?

Culture isn’t beer fridges & buzzwords. It’s trust, safety & real leadership.

Garry Ridge took WD-40 from $300M to $3.6B by getting culture right.

Still think it’s fluffy? Listen in for the truth: Culture drives results.

How sad. Someone skilled enough to build a payment site, bulk message via iMessage, and spoof numbers is wasting it on scams. So much legit potential—wasted chasing easy victims instead. Criminal, lazy, and pathetic.

Roland Butcher had off-days too.

Just wrapped a goal-setting session!

Remember: Goals only work when they're SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) and reviewed.

Priorities shift—update goals often. Don’t let targets outweigh team wellbeing.

suygreatness.bsky.social @suygreatness.bsky.social · Jun 3

Layoffs hit.

Then I realised: this job hadn’t fit for ages. Purpose faded, pressure grew, targets replaced people.

If I’d read John Blakey’s Force for Good (www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1398615196) sooner, I’d have seen the signs—and found my way, 10 minutes at a time.

🌟 Leadership feeds something—fear or vision.

Tired of culture theatre?
Kul Mahay says: burn the script.
Real leadership isn’t plaques + perks.
It’s bravery, friction, and change.
If nothing’s changed—you’re not leading.
