What if the smartest model for modern leadership is already inside our heads?

This week I’m joined by Edwin Clamp, a thinker at the intersection of neuroscience, leadership, and organizational design. His work reimagines how companies function by looking at how the brain actually works—not how we wish workplaces behaved.

Together we explore how brain-inspired design can reshape leadership, culture, and decision-making.

Together we unpack:

• What “biomimicry of the mind” really means for organizations

• How prediction → error → adjustment drives both brains and great teams

• The brain’s “many little experts” and what that teaches us about autonomy

Listen in to Edwin Clamp as he explores Biomimicry.

In this powerful episode, Yvette Bethel and Edwin Clamp explore one of the most urgent challenges facing organizations, institutions, and societies today: How do we shift from degenerative systems—those that deplete trust, extract value, and reinforce corruption—toward generative ecosystems that create value, restore integrity, and serve the whole?

Join us as we unpack:

• What makes a system degenerative or corrupt (and how to recognize the signals)
• The hidden costs of institutional decay, distrust, and misaligned incentives
• The principles of generative systems — those built on trust, reciprocity, transparency, and sustainability

Whether you're a leader, change agent, team member, or simply someone trying to work with integrity in a system that feels out of sync, this episode offers a clear-eyed perspective on what's possible—and where to start.

What does it really mean to build accountability into the architecture of an organization — not as control, but as a culture of clarity, trust, and alignment?

Yvette sits down with Philipp Schett, one of the world’s leading experts on OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and the Founder of Wave Nine, the fastest-growing OKR consultancy globally.

With a career spanning leadership roles in major telecommunications companies, strategic consulting, and time at Meta, Philipp brings a rare depth of insight into how organizations think, prioritize, and execute.

He has led over 250 OKR implementations, guiding everything from 400-person nonprofits to Fortune 10 companies with over 150,000 employees — and in every case, helping leaders shift from output-driven performance to purpose-driven alignment.

Essential listening for anyone responsible for organizational alignment, strategic execution, or culture-building in times of constant change.
