In this episode, David Carr sits down with Hanna Bauer, leadership strategist and founder of HEARTnomics, to explore why misalignment between people, systems, and purpose quietly erodes performance, culture, and trust. Drawing from Hanna’s experience as a CEO, board chair, and executive advisor, this conversation examines what happens when organizations rely too heavily on process, technology, or structure without tending to the human side of leadership. David and Hanna discuss why communication breakdowns, burnout, and stalled execution are rarely people problems and almost always leadership and alignment problems. The discussion spans nonprofit, hospitality, financial, and technical environments, offering practical insight into how leaders can restore clarity, psychological safety, and accountability during growth, digital transformation, and cultural strain. Grounded in real executive experience and systems thinking, this episode reframes leadership as the responsibility to balance heart and rigor, humanity and execution, so organizations can perform without chaos or constant rework. In this episode: Why performance problems are usually alignment problems The hidden cost of over-relying on systems and processes How leadership communication shapes culture and execution What it means to align people, purpose, and performance Why leadership growth must keep pace with organizational growth Links mentioned in this episode: Hanna Bauer on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/bauerhanna HEARTnomics https://www.heartnomics.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/business-roundtable--6049255/support .
