Leadership and Culture with Adam Malone
Adam Malone, known as “The Tenacious Operator,” is a leadership consultant, corporate keynote speaker, and former VP of a global tech company. After 20 years in the corporate world, he now focuses on helping leaders and teams unlock their full potential.
His approach highlights the critical link between leadership and culture, showing how trust, empathy, and consistency drive real performance. By breaking down barriers to teamwork and blending strong leadership and culture, Adam empowers organizations to thrive under pressure. For him, success means building a resilient workplace where leadership and culture inspire lasting change.
Adam’s tips to become more culturally aware are:
- Ask about processes, don’t ask about people. “Can you explain to me how this fits in your work process?“
- Listen for what people are not saying.
- Don’t assume that you understand the cultural issues until you understand the team.
