From Broken Process to High Performance: How to Rebuild Trust and Drive Results w/ Bruce Nichols
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever pointed out a broken process… and suddenly found yourself responsible for fixing it?
In this episode, Jule sits down with Bruce Nichols, seasoned HR executive and organizational change leader.
What started as a candid comment at a leadership dinner quickly turned into a mandate: redesign a fragmented employee relations process and rebuild trust across HR. What Bruce discovered wasn’t just a workflow issue, it was a connection issue. Managers felt unsupported. Employees felt unheard. HR felt divided.
What followed wasn’t a quick fix. It was culture work.
In this conversation, Bruce and Jule discuss:
- Why broken processes are often symptoms of broken trust
- How creating a “one team” identity shifts alignment and accountability
- The power of being physically present with your team
- Why surveys don’t fix culture — action does
- How clarifying the “why” unlocks engagement and performance
If you’re a leader responsible for results, people, and operational excellence, this episode will challenge how you think about alignment, ownership, and performance.
