091: HR Can't Fix What Leaders Won't Own

About

HR can’t fix every people problem—especially when leaders aren’t willing to own their part.
In this episode of SpeakEasy HR, David Noe sits down with Greg Modd, founder of Penultimate People Consulting, to talk about leadership accountability, workforce strategy, and the role relationships play in building strong organizations.
Greg shares his perspective on Extreme Ownership, leadership alignment, workplace culture, and turning complex people challenges into clear, executable decisions. They also discuss why accountability has to start with leadership and what happens when HR is asked to solve problems that really belong at the leadership table.
With experience spanning military service, government, consulting, and executive HR leadership, Greg brings a unique perspective on what it takes to lead people effectively and create cultures where people actually want to perform.
A candid conversation about leadership, accountability, culture, and why HR can’t fix what leaders won’t own.
