In this episode of Taking Back Monday, host Alyssa Nolte sits down with transformation strategist Dawn Holly Johnson to unpack why traditional hierarchies are crushing innovation—and what to build instead.With over 20 years of experience across industries, Dawn shares how she helps companies design for value, scale with purpose, and create cultures that don’t just talk about empowerment—they live it.If you're tired of bureaucracy, burnout, and broken systems, this one’s for you.Key Takeaways:➤ Structure drives behavior: Culture can’t thrive inside systems that were built to control, not empower.➤ Process matters: Without well-designed systems, even the best teams struggle to deliver value.➤ Purpose over profit: Alignment around mission—not just money—fuels better decisions and better results.Key Moments:00:00 Introduction to Taking Back Monday00:12 Journey into Lean Six Sigma01:07 Common Issues in Leadership01:32 The Impact of COVID-19 on Work Culture01:49 Questioning Traditional Business Practices02:09 Writing the Transformational Book05:46 The Importance of Happy Employees06:34 Challenges of Organizational Hierarchies13:10 Empowering Teams and Building Trust20:31 Aligning Purpose and Process23:14 The Role of Process in Business Success31:45 Gary Vee and Inspirational Leadership33:08 Conclusion and Contact InformationShare your thoughts - send us a textIt's time to say "goodbye" to the Sunday Scaries.Connect with AlyssaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alyssanolte/Subscribe to the Taking Back Monday Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7158635254474272768/Follow the show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TakingBackMondayPodFollow the show on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@takingbackmondaypod
