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.

  • Love Is Stronger Than Hate with Chris Singleton

    Love Is Stronger Than Hate with Chris Singleton
    Jan 20 2026
    Jason is joined by his friend, Chris Singleton, for a powerful and inspiring conversation about love being stronger than hate. Please rate and review the podcast to help amplify these messages to others! Summary: In a polarized world, how do the most effective leaders foster unity and performance? In this live episode from Thermostat Cultures Live, Jason V Barger sits down with former professional baseball player and inspirational speaker Chris Singleton. Born from the tragedy of the Charleston church shooting, Chris's message of resilience challenges leaders to rethink how they navigate adversity and influence their teams. This conversation moves beyond standard leadership platitudes to address the core mechanics of human connection in the workplace. Jason and Chris explore the concept of "catalysts"—individuals who alter the trajectory of our lives—and discuss how executives can become those catalysts for their own organizations. They also deconstruct the traditional view of accountability, shifting it from a punitive measure to a reciprocal tool that builds trust and reinforces positive behavior. Essential listening for C-Suite executives, HR directors, and team leaders committed to shaping compelling cultures, this episode offers actionable insights on emotional intelligence, the cost of grace, and the power of shared ownership. Episode Notes & Timestamps: [00:00] Intro: Jason welcomes listeners into the room at Thermostat Cultures Live, setting the stage for a conversation on authentic leadership. [00:02] Meet Chris Singleton: Introduction to Chris's background as a former Chicago Cubs draftee and his pivot to inspirational speaking following the tragedy in Charleston, SC. [00:04] Identifying Your "Catalysts": Chris identifies the three pivotal figures who shaped his worldview on love and leadership: his high school coach, his wife, and a mentor who taught him financial literacy. [00:07] Owning the Mistake: A look at Starbucks' response to crisis as a case study in corporate accountability and the importance of leaders owning their shortcomings to build empathy. [00:09] Redefining Accountability: Jason and Chris discuss why accountability is often viewed negatively and how to reframe it as a reciprocal, "two-way street" that acknowledges positive actions as much as negative ones. [00:14] The Wellness-Performance Connection: Insights from the room on how the well-being of employees directly correlates to high performance and trust within an organization. [00:15] Who Carries the Culture?: A critical question for every executive: Does the culture survive and thrive when leadership is not in the room? [00:18] The Cost of Grace: A profound discussion on forgiveness in leadership and life—why grace often costs more for the giver than the receiver, and how to maintain boundaries while moving forward. Key Takeaways for Leaders: Reciprocal Accountability: Shift your team's mindset to view accountability as mutual support rather than top-down policing. Culture Ownership: Strategies to ensure your organizational values are upheld by every employee, not just senior management.

  • You Are A Catalyst

    You Are A Catalyst
    Jan 13 2026

    Many people have been catalysts for you in your life and work. And, you are a catalyst for others. How we lead and the culture we create sends ripples to others.

    In an era where employee engagement has reached a ten-year low and trust in leadership remains a rare commodity, how do we move beyond simply "surviving" our workplace environments? Most organizations operate like thermometers—merely reacting to the stress, chaos, and temperature of the room. But what if you possessed the power to set the temperature yourself?

    In the Season 10 episode 2 of The Thermostat Podcast, Jason V Barger explores the transformative concept of the catalyst. A catalyst is more than just a leader; it is a person or an experience that stimulates progress and propels a culture toward its highest potential.

    Drawing from a powerful story of grace under pressure at a post-9/11 airport security line, Jason illustrates how the ripple effect of our individual thoughts and actions can shift the energy of an entire team.

    This episode provides a masterclass in:

    • The Power of the Ripple Effect: Understanding how your emotional intelligence (EQ) acts as the "pebble" dropped into your organization's pond.

    • Smart Leadership: The fascinating connection between modern thermostat technology—specifically the "catalyst" add-on—and our own need for "intelligent control" in our personal development.

    • Intentional Culture Shaping: Why the best corporate cultures don't happen by accident, but are co-created by leaders committed to being catalysts for change.

    • Navigating Low Engagement: Practical ways to bring hope, trust, and stability to leadership in teams when the world feels most volatile.

    Essential Leadership Lessons:

    As Jason reflects on his journey as an author and speaker, he reminds us that we cannot create the "future version" of ourselves without honoring the catalysts that came before us. Whether you are a CEO, a manager, or an individual contributor, you have the opportunity to calibrate your thermostat and breathe good oxygen back into your environment.

    Questions to ponder from this episode:

    1. Who has been a catalyst for you in your life and your work?

    2. In what ways would you like to be a catalyst for others in the year ahead?

    3. What catalysts are needed to shape the culture you want on your team right now?
