Relationships at Work - The Leadership Guide to Building Workplace Connections and Avoiding Blind Spots.

You’ve defined your values. But are you still living them — or just assuming you are? In this episode of Relationships at Work , we unpack the overlooked side of values in leadership. Not the usual “define your top five” — but the deeper, messier question of alignment. Are your values still showing up in how you lead, decide, and interact? Or have they quietly drifted out of sync with your environment… and yourself? This episode explores how to test your values at work, why misalignment sneaks up on us, and how self-awareness and situational awareness play a critical role in staying grounded as a leader. Because living out of sync with your values doesn’t just affect you — it erodes trust, clarity, and the culture you’re trying to build. And connect with me for more great content!

In this episode of Relationships at Work , Russel chats with Sean Vassilaros, CEO and co-founder of Kanny, about what’s missing from hiring—and it’s not experience or skills. It’s character . Sean dives deep into how character—not personality—drives behavior, shapes culture, and ultimately determines long-term success in the workplace. He shares why traditional hiring tools like resumes and references are fundamentally flawed, how peer-driven feedback can bring accountability to both employees and hiring managers, and why data-backed character insights could be the future of leadership and culture. We talk: Why 75% of hires are still mis-hires How character traits like humility and accountability can be measured The rise of “Character Intelligence” as a cultural north star Creating development plans from day one What Glassdoor reviews reveal about accountability One question you should ask in every work relationship If you’ve ever made a bad hire, been burned by a toxic teammate, or want to build a team of high-character humans—this episode is for you.

You’ll hear real-world examples, warning signs to watch for, and practical ways leaders can model and build a curiosity-driven culture.
