Episode: Cultivating Conditions for Employee Growth with Dr. Britt Yamamoto
Description: In this episode of Deep Leadership, I talk with Dr. Britt Yamamoto — educator, entrepreneur, and author of The Soil of Leadership and The Hyaksho Way.
Britt introduces the idea of soil-based leadership, a powerful metaphor drawn from farming that shifts focus from short-term results to cultivating healthy conditions for long-term employee growth. We discuss:
Why many leadership “fixes” fail when the cultural soil is depleted
How to remediate and regenerate an organization’s culture
The importance of story before strategy
Why well-being must be central to leadership in today’s world
