The Thermostat with Jason Barger: Recent Episodes

Jason V Barger

A thermostat is proactive. It sets the temperature in a room. Controls the temperature. Regulates the temperature. But in today’s distracted, fast-paced and digital world, it’s easy for individuals and organizations to act more like thermometers, slipping into reactionary thinking, becoming scattered and inconsistent. The most compelling leaders, teams, organizations, families or collection of humans of any kind operate in thermostat mode. They calibrate their mind and heart to set the temperature for the vision and culture they want to create. Jason Barger, globally celebrated author, keynote speaker and founder of Step Back Leadership Consulting, guides this journey to discover authentic leadership, create compelling cultures and find clarity of mission, vision and values.

Imagine this: seven days, seven different airports, and never leaving the terminal. No hotel rooms, just uncomfortable airport benches. Showers? Airport bathrooms only. Food? A strict $20-a-day budget. This wasn't a punishment; it was an experiment. In this special episode of The Thermostat Podcast, Jason V. Barger shares the remarkable origin story of his "Step Back from the Baggage Claim" philosophy – a journey that began with a bold, unconventional research project.

Jason immersed himself in the chaotic world of airport terminals, observing human behavior at its most raw. He witnessed the "human wall of entitlement" at baggage carousels, the frustration of delayed flights, and the fleeting interactions between strangers. This experience became the foundation for his groundbreaking work on leadership and corporate culture.

This episode isn't just about airports. It's about:

  • The Power of Perspective: How stepping back from the everyday rush can reveal profound insights about ourselves and the cultures we create.
  • Human Connection in a Disconnected World: Why recognizing the humanity in those around us is crucial for both personal and organizational success.
  • Navigating Adversity: Learning to respond to challenges with intention and grace, rather than reacting with frustration.
  • The Courage to Begin: How a seemingly crazy idea, fueled by a desire to make a difference, can transform into a meaningful career.
  • Intentions and Actions: What you can do to become the ambassador of change.

Join Jason as he reflects on the lessons learned during those seven days, the key principles that still guide his work, and how the "Step Back" philosophy can help you lead more effectively and create a more positive impact, wherever you are. This is the story of how a unique experiment sparked a movement – and it might just change the way you think about leadership, culture, and the power of human connection. Tune in and discover how to "step back to move forward" in your own life and work. You will not want to miss the start of Jason V. Barger and what has led him to be a sought-after keynote speaker.

How did all of this journey begin and what was the point? Jason Barger reflects on the Step Back from the Baggage Claim journey and spirit that ignited it all.

What gets in our way from finding congruence as leaders or within our team and organizational cultures? And, what helps us find it?

Season 9 Episode 4: Congruence in Leadership and Culture

In this episode of The Thermostat Podcast, Jason V. Barger unpacks the critical theme of congruence—the alignment of values, beliefs, words, and actions—and its impact on effective leadership and organizational culture. Leaders and teams that strive for congruence create authentic environments where trust, alignment, and collaboration thrive.

Jason shares inspiring stories of transformation, from NFL quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's career turnaround under empowering coaching to Trea Turner's remarkable comeback with the Philadelphia Phillies, fueled by a fan-led shift in energy and support. These examples illustrate how leaders, teammates, and culture can either enhance or hinder individual and collective performance.

Key takeaways include:

  • The importance of self-awareness in aligning personal values and actions.
  • How leaders set the "temperature" for their teams through intentionality and example.
  • The power of positive reinforcement in fostering trust, growth, and performance.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on how they can create congruence in their leadership and team environments. As Jason reminds us, "Be the thermostat—set the temperature you want for your life and work."
