Becoming a Cultural Warrior with Kirk Weisler

As part of a Individual Leadership Enhancement Program (ILEP) that we are presently implementing at CalPERS, we are featuring a short speakers series. (No, not all of the speakers are short; the series is short — just four high-quality speakers.) In this video, Keith sits down for an interview with the first speaker in the series, Kirk Weisler. Kirk serves as the Chief Morale Officer (CMO) for companies and organizations around the globe. He is a past leader of the National Speakers Association, a master team builder, and a professional storyteller. (You can find out more about Kirk at his website.)

In this 10-minute interview, Kirk answers four questions:

• What is a cultural warrior?
• What do you say to people who say, “I’m not the big boss, what can I do to effect change?”
• What are some practical steps to building culture?
• What do you say to people who say, “These are nice ideas, but you don’t know my team?”

Enjoy. We would love to hear what you think.
