Strong workplace cultures aren’t created through slogans or one-time initiatives. They are built through the small, intentional actions leaders repeat every day.

In this episode of Daily Influence, Gregg-Brooke Koleno speaks with educator, executive leader, author, and TEDx speaker Alicia Hughes about how caring for people can produce measurable organizational results. Alisha shares the leadership practices that helped her achieve a 97% staff retention rate while leading 260 employees and contributed to increasing a school’s graduation rate from 30% to 90%.

You’ll learn how simplifying priorities can strengthen decision-making, why leaders must acknowledge when an initiative isn’t working, and how small moments of recognition, kindness, and joy can influence an entire workplace. Alisha also explains why leadership is defined by your actions, not your title, and offers practical ways to create a culture where people feel valued, supported, and motivated to succeed.
