The Beth Effect with Beth Clifford

The Leadership Playbook: How to Build a Winning Company Culture That Lasts

Beth Clifford

Why do some teams thrive while others struggle with high turnover and disengagement? In this episode, we sit down with Todd Reed, former SVP of Sales and Training at Allergan, to uncover the real keys to building a high-performance culture. With over 37 years of leadership experience, Todd shares his journey from a young, struggling manager to leading one of the most successful divisions in medical aesthetics.

We dive into:
 ✅ The #1 mistake leaders make that destroys trust—and how to fix it
 ✅ Why micromanagement is killing your team’s potential (and what to do instead)
 ✅ How to balance leadership with life—and why Todd never missed a game in his daughter’s 500+ basketball career
 ✅ The difference between inspiring and motivating your team (hint: one creates lasting impact, the other fades fast)
 ✅ Why building a culture where people want to stay is more important than just hiring top talent

Todd also reveals how his leadership philosophy—"Take care of yourself first, your family second, and your customers third"—helped shape a thriving organization where people didn’t just succeed but wanted to stay for decades.

If you’re a leader, CEO, or aspiring entrepreneur looking to transform your team’s culture, this episode is a must-listen.
