Fixing the Execution Problem in Leadership — with Jim Marsh

Fixing the Execution Problem in Leadership — with Jim Marsh Airing Wednesday, March 11th on Salty Ginger Talk 🎙️ Many organizations believe they have a culture problem—but often, the real issue is execution. In this episode, we sit down with Jim Marsh, executive coach and founder of JEM Premier Coaching, to explore why inconsistent standards, unclear decision-making, and weak follow-through can quietly undermine even the best teams. When expectations shift and accountability fades, performance relies on heroics—and that’s when burnout and frustration begin. Jim introduces his powerful framework, Culture OS™, which treats culture not as a slogan on a wall, but as the operating system of leadership and execution. By aligning what leaders reinforce, ignore, and tolerate with the outcomes they want, organizations can drive faster decisions, stronger accountability, and more consistent performance. Drawing from his book, Culture OS™: The Operating System Top Teams Actually Run On, Jim shares practical strategies to help leaders reduce “culture debt”—the costly patterns of rework, missed commitments, and avoidable turnover—by fixing the systems that shape everyday behavior. If you’re a leader, executive, or team builder looking to strengthen accountability and results, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Humanizing Change Tremendousness Join us each episode as we talk with innovators in their respective fields about their unique journeys and how they humanize change in their own work, right here, on Humanizing Change. AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
