Culture doesn't start with HR. It starts with whoever's at the top.

And when leadership is the problem, no amount of HR programming, culture initiatives, or team offsites is going to fix it.

This week we're talking about Ryan Breslow, Bolt, and the very uncomfortable conversation about leadership accountability that most people in HR are having behind closed doors. We just chose to have it on a podcast.

In this lively discussion, HR Misfits Ami Graves, Marci Coppola, and LaToya Davis share candid stories and insights about the challenges of managing and developing effective leaders. We have seen some things. And today we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most common and most costly mistakes organizations make: taking your best individual contributor and handing them a team without a map, a plan, or a clue.

We're talking about the real cost of poor leadership development, what HR can actually do about it, and why "they were great at their job" is not a leadership strategy. This one gets real. Let's get into it.

In this engaging episode, the HR Misfits and a special guest explore the credibility crisis in HR, the controversial idea of licensing the profession, and the innovative HR Accountability Project aimed at elevating standards and trust in HR.
