Building Cultures That Win: How Employee Engagement Fuels Business Success with Amri B. Johnson

What’s the real secret to building a high-performing team? Donald Thompson is joined by Amri B. Johnson—author, business strategist, and founder of Inclusion Wins—for a conversation about why employee engagement, not empty initiatives, is the true driver of organizational excellence.

Together, they explore how today's leaders can create thriving workplaces where trust, psychological safety, and shared purpose aren't just ideals—they're measurable advantages. Amri reveals why companies that prioritize authentic engagement outperform competitors, and how relational skills, empathy, and culture-building are essential tools for future-proofing leadership in a turbulent world. Donald and Amri also take a global view, examining how the shifting perception of U.S. leadership impacts companies worldwide—and why empathy and civility are more critical than ever to attracting and retaining top talent.
