Leader U Podcast

Culture Matters with host Chris Smit: Collectivism in Western Culture with Rob Lion

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Rob Lion (pronounced “Lee-own”), a professor, researcher, consultant, and co-founder of Black River Performance Management.

With over 20 years of experience in workplace culture, leadership development, and performance improvement, Rob is a recognized expert in human resource development and organizational behavior.

He teaches at Idaho State University, preparing future leaders while working closely with executives and community leaders to create people-centered workplace systems.

His evidence-based leadership and team performance approach help organizations build engaged, high-performing teams that drive strategic success.

Rob’s tips to become more culturally aware are:

  1. Remain curious. Look for things that are outside your comfort zone.
  2. Travel if you can.
  3. I have my own belief system; perception is reality; consider whose truth is this. Yours or someone else’s?
