Unmuted Podcast | Episode #50
Topic: Cultivating Leadership Culture: Values, Alignment and Performance
Host: Jeff Waldman

Guest: Nora Beatty


In this milestone 50th episode of Unmuted, host Jeff Waldman sits down with Nora Beatty, VP of People Operations at Cohere, to explore the essential link between leadership, values, and performance.

Leadership isn’t one-size-fits-all. There are countless models out there. But one thing remains true: Leaders set the tone. When leaders truly embody an organization’s values, it creates a ripple effect that drives alignment, engagement, and performance.

In this episode, we tackle some of the biggest questions surrounding leadership culture:
✅ What key traits define great leaders who align with an organization's values?
✅ How can leaders across different teams be unified under a shared leadership culture?
✅ What strategies help reinforce values and behaviors at the leadership level?
✅ How do you measure leadership performance beyond traditional metrics?

Leadership is hard work. But when done right, it becomes the foundation for a thriving organization. Tune in for practical insights on fostering a leadership culture that actually moves the needle.
