Episode 471 — How Core Values Affect Leadership, Culture, and Fulfillment with Robert Glazer
Most people spend twenty years climbing a mountain, reach the top, and realize they never wanted the view.
In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Robert Glazer to break down why core values are the most underused tool in leadership. They get into where your values actually come from, why you can’t coach them into the people you hire, and why most leaders are measuring their teams with the wrong scorecard entirely. If you’ve ever hit a milestone and felt nothing, this conversation explains why, and what to do about it.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Why your core values were set early in life, and what it costs you to lead without knowing them
- How to hire for the values people actually live instead of the ones they perform in interviews
- What separates a real company core value from a poster on the wall nobody believes in
The view from the top is only worth it if you picked the right mountain to climb.

Show Notes:
Ambition has a hidden design flaw. “It turns out that we enjoy the striving more than we enjoy the arriving.”
The worst chapters of your life often build the work that matters most. “A lot of purpose comes from pain.”
Self-awareness is the easy part, and the part that changes nothing. “Knowing and doing are not the same thing.”
Culture-fit hiring only works if you accept this constraint. “You do not change people’s values.”
Most interviews are engineered to hide the truth. “When you ask people hypothetical questions in an interview, you get hypothetical answers.”
Forget the poster on the wall, here’s the only real test. “The company values are the shared and collective behaviors of your best people.”
Everyone chases success without defining whose version they’re chasing. “To me, true success is achieving what you want most and having clarity on what that is.”
