In this episode of the Transformative Leader Podcast, I’m happy to bring you a conversation with speaker, serial entrepreneur, best-selling author, and master business coach, Howard M. Shore, about the steps that leaders can take to maximize the growth and profit potential of their organizations. Howard is the founder and CEO of Activate Group Inc., where he specializes in liberating teams from the personal and professional barriers holding them back from advancement.

His clients vary from private, family-owned businesses with $5 million in gross annual revenue to publicly traded, international corporations with over $1 billion in yearly gross revenue. With a 30-year track record of success, he guarantees any organization that his methods and systems can help them become more profitable, stable, and scalable.
His most recent book, and the topic of much of our conversations, focuses on profit-actualizing and scale-enhancing systems for identifying mindsets essential to creating great companies, recognizing the crucial steps to increase employee engagement, aligning teams with priorities to significantly impact results, and ensuring the right people are in the right seats doing the right thing, among many other essential topics!
This was a great conversation with a guest who really gets what it takes for an organization to go from good to great, and understand that much of that comes down to the culture that leaders create. Howard really is a kindred spirit in many ways, and we were really on the same wavelength on so many topics related to culture and leadership. this episode is a little on the longer side, but it’s well worth it, so be sure not to miss it!
Some topics discussed in this episode include:
How Howard came to where he is in his career now, especially as it relates to recognizing the importance of leadership when it comes to entrepreneurship.
How Howard defines culture and, its importance in moving toward a common goal for the organization’s success.
The critical role that leaders play in reinforcing cultural values, through their own behavior as well as spotlighting the successes of others.
