Rebuilding Culture Beyond Compliance w/ John Dickerson – Ep. 68

Most IDD leaders don’t intend for their culture to drift into compliance mode… but it happens. High turnover, stretched-thin supervisors, endless documentation, and increasing regulation all push agencies toward control instead of connection. In this conversation, John Dickerson—founder of MyQuillo, longtime ARC leader, and master storyteller—joins Nate to unpack why compliance-heavy culture takes root… and how leaders can turn things around. This episode is packed with stories that will make you rethink orientation, DSP relationships, behavior plans, “independence,” and what culture actually looks like day to day. If you’ve ever wondered why parts of your organization feel flat, reactive, or disconnected—and what leaders can DO about it—this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. Part 1 of 2.
