84| You Want a People-Centered Learning Culture. What's Getting in the Way? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
People-centered. Learning organization. Culture of continuous improvement. We use a lot of different words to describe what we are trying to create. But do we actually mean the same thing? And if we all want it, what's stopping us from getting there? And what is the one thing that could have the biggest impact? So I asked. And you answered. Leaders and change practitioners around the world responded. There wasn't one shared definition or set of words for a people-centered learning culture. But t
83| Keep Ownership at the Right Level: How to Sustain Organizational Transformation [with Anna Pessah] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Overstepping ownership rarely looks like overstepping. It looks like moving things along. You know how something could be improved, so you give your suggestion. Work gets done, progress is visible, but the person you were there to develop doesn't build the capability they need, and the improvement doesn't sustain. Every change leader, manager, and executive does this at some point. And when we take on ownership of what isn't ours, we end up the bottleneck. As a transformational change leader at
82| Connect the Parts, Focus on People: Inside the Toyota Economic System [with Olivier Larue] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Profit or cash. Efficiency or flexibility. Speed, or doing it right. Leaders feel like they have to make trade-offs like these all the time. But the choice often isn't real. Some contradictions are unavoidable. Others only look that way until you understand the real problem. The most effective organizations realize they don't have to pick a side if they can resolve the underlying tension. Olivier Larue has spent three decades helping companies do this, which he's documented in his three-book ser
81| Adapt How You Lead: Situational Leadership in Practice [with Suzie Bishop] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Your leadership style isn't the problem. Your default is. The gap between how you're leading and what the person in front of you actually needs is one of the most common and most invisible places leaders get stuck. Most of us default to one mode and don't notice the mismatch until something breaks down. Suzie Bishop has spent over a decade at the Center for Leadership Studies helping leaders close that gap and strengthen their leadership effectiveness. Her new book, Situational Leadership , puts
80| Bad News First: How a Leader's Response Builds a Culture of Learning [with Isao Yoshino] (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How many problems are actually visible in your organization? Research shows senior leaders see just 4%. The other 96% stay hidden — invisible, yet still there. And some aren't even recognized by employees as problems anymore, because they have become the norm. We all say we want psychological safety. But you don't get it by saying you want it. People-centered leadership is about creating conditions for people to speak up and highlight issues by how you, and leaders across your system, respond. R
