Episode 130 is with Mel Kettle, author of "The Social Association" and "Fully Connected'. TALKING POINTS Not only do you give feedback down, you give it across and you give it up as well. Giving feedback is one skill set, while how to receive feedback is just as important. When you hear the word feedback, how do you react? “Feedback” is one of those words that can be polarizing and cause panic. I encourage leaders to create a culture of conversation within their organization so that they never have to use the word feedback. How do I have a conversation with my manager who doesn't listen? If you don't have a trusted relationship with your manager, then that's going to be a difficult conversation. What do you do when you're on the receiving end of that difficult conversation? Mel Kettle has a five-step feedback framework.

Ep129 we speak with Lynne Cazaly and her book, "Sync Async" < https://amzn.to/43Q3QkO > making a distinction between synchronous and asynchronous work. The author urges people to consider more asynchronous ways of working. There will always be too much to do and not enough time to do it. Putting practical sync async techniques to work can make your work easier . . . and the rest of life better. Consider: · Do we really need everyone at the same meeting at the same time? (synchronous work) · Could some people contribute prior to, or after the meeting or begin working on tasks outside of a meeting? (asynchronous work). A growing number of teams and businesses are learning and experiencing the value of deliberately working in sync / async ways. That is, some work is completed synchronously - at the same time with other people; and other elements of work completed asynchronously - at a time and in a way that suits them. In this conversation with author Lynne Cazaly, we discuss how, why and when to work in sync and async ways · tools for making great async progress · ways to identify the type of work you prefer · how to make daily progress easier - get started on things that have stopped and accelerate things that have slowed. You don't need to wait for a culture change or for someone to give you the go-ahead on this. You can start working better in both sync and async ways from today. ABOUT LYNNE CAZALY Lynne Cazaly from Melbourne, Australia, is an international keynote speaker, award-winning author and master facilitator. Lynne is author of 10 books including: "Sync Async: Making progress easier in the changing world of work." https://amzn.to/43Q3QkO Listen to Episode 31 of this podcast with Lynne Cazaly talking about Perfectionism and her book: "Ish: The Problem with our Pursuit for Perfection and the Life-Changing Practice of Good Enough.’" https://amzn.to/3vLCTlG An experienced radio broadcaster, presenter and producer, Lynne has presented 10,000+ hours on-air.

In Episode 127, I speak again with Thought Leader and Visionary Dan Silberberg around the evolving role of leadership in a world of disruption. There’s a shift from focusing solely on productivity to valuing intelligence as the key competitive advantage. Multiple areas of disruption can be described with the VUCA framework. A leader’s full time job is global volatility. Another full time job is global uncertainty and unpredictability. Another full time job is unraveling complexity. And then the last one, just in case you didn't have enough to deal with, is ambiguity. The traditional hierarchical model is insufficient for dealing with such complexities. Dan advocates for an ecosystem approach where leaders become facilitators rather than top-down decision-makers. To be a great leader requires critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and lifelong learning. We need authentic organizational values, hiring based on cultural fit, personal authenticity in interviews. Leaders need to adapt to the rapidly changing landscape by fostering innovation, embracing ndiversity, and building trust within their organizations.

This episode is with Peter Cappelli DPhil, George W. Taylor Professor of Management; Director, Center for Human Resources, The Wharton School; author of “Our Least Important Asset: Why the Relentless Focus on Finance and Accounting is Bad for Business and Employees" https://amzn.to/3P5WTGd Recently named by HR Magazine as one of the top 5 most influential management thinkers, we speak about wrong thinking when it comes to employee cost and value. TIMESTAMPS [2:02] Why do leaders see employees as liabilities instead of assets? [3:47] Is that a failure of the imagination? [5:50 ] Replacing my employees with contractors and with leased employees [6:24] What's the problem with managers coming from engineering or finance backgrounds? [11:19 ] But what they don't track is, are we hiring good people? [12:20] What money you're going to give me to make me want to move? And they're not necessarily more successful than an active candidate. In fact, they're less successful. That's an interesting paradox. [13:15 ] We know that active candidates are people who want to advance. [13:37 ] For any line manager, middle manager, c-suite manager, your advice would be always advertise for a role? [14:20] A study compared people who were promoted from within to a job, to those who were hired from the outside into the identical job. People hired from outside took 3 years to get up to speed compared to people promoted from within. And it took people promoted from within 7 years to catch up to the pay of people who were hired from outside. So you pay a salary premium and you suffer a performance hit when you fill those jobs from outside. [16:31] The other paradox you describe how at the start of the recent pandemic when 70% of office workers were sent home to work, because the feeling was, “We're all in this together”, employees were trusted to get the job done. And they did because they were trusted. Then came a shift to monitoring software on the assumption that left to their own devices, people would goof off. So, what's the situation now?

This episode I speak with Brian Bowman, learning strategist, capability expert and digital learning guru in Australia Pacific on how a leader can have a career conversation with their direct reports. When my company, Brainpower Training, won a tender to deliver customized Report Writing for Audit workshops in multiple cities for one of Australia's largest banks, Brian Bowman held a People and Culture role at that bank. We worked together closely to roll out those Report Writing programs. TALKING POINTS [6:40] So the career conversation for the leader is actually themselves having to step out of the day-to-day and ask, “Where do you want to go?” [7:30] Good questions to ask . . . “What brings you joy?” Because it gets people to think about, “When I'm in flow, when I'm really enjoying work, this is what I'm doing.” ”What are you drawn to?” is another really great question. People will naturally gravitate across their work day to things they really love and enjoy doing. You can ask people, “What do you want to do at work?” [11:00] The joy question can be offset with, “What do you hate doing?” It's such a brilliant way of exploring that career conversation. [13:00] Careers aren't linear, they might do a bit over here or something there. [14:00] People have different stages of their career. There might be a 3-year cycle. Charles Handy talks about the Sigmoid Curve, the S-curve. [15:46] Don’t wait for someone’s motivation to wane; change before you have to, always give a sense of progression to people in their career. To re-motivate people, start a second curve, [16:44] It’s an interesting conundrum for leaders, how do I help people grow and drive their career? I want to retain and deliver great work across an organization but training people up might make them leave. [18:19] In the future it’s helping people translate their impact in their career where they've been and what they would also bring to that next cycle of impact. [19:16] Younger people might ask for a promotion or more money, but maybe they haven't sailed in the storm yet. They say things like, “I do the same work as . . .” another. "Well, the other has 15 years’ experience and hoisted the sails in the storm and survived and sailed it. Yes, you are doing the same job. But I know if something went wrong, they’ll manage it appropriately." [21:10] Gallup strengths and the top 5. === ABOUT BRIAN BOWMAN Contact Brian Bowman via LinkedIn HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianbowman2/ ABOUT PODCAST HOST, NINA SUNDAY Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@manageselfleadotherspodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Connect Nina Sunday on LinkedIn HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninasunday/ You can suggest a guest, ask a question, make a comment.

Leaders harnessing the essence of appreciation are rewarded with higher engagement and trust. My guest, Avi Liran, has spent a decade researching Appreciation. Fascinated by the power of positivity and ability of words and tone to transform, Avi Liran is a super optimist believing in igniting inner joy, in people's lives and experiences. Avi says, “In my workshop, we work a few hours on Appreciation. Each person writes on an envelope the date, they sign, they write their own name on the envelope, and then they put the envelope to the right, and they get another envelope with the name of another person. And then they write for the next person how much they appreciate them, as many things as possible. And when they receive it, I ask them 2 questions. One question is, “How do you feel?” And the second question, “What surprised you?” Nina, you would be amazed how many people are totally surprised that other people appreciate them. They never knew how much people appreciate them. They thought they were transparent; and that's wrong, because people do appreciate people.

Leading Again for the First Time, with Dan Silberberg. This is part 6 of Dan Silberberg's World Class Leader bonus series. We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are. Why would I change my myself when that's been so successful? If I have certain behaviors, certain ways of seeing the world, certain ways of creating relationship, and I've done that for 25 years, and now I'm in a C-Suite role, why would I need to change? But the world's changing and changing rapidly. I could find myself with a model and behaviors, with that style becoming obsolete or even extinct.

Now as we start to look at, how do I align more with who I truly am. We have to take a look at this operating system So which part of ourselves is driving the bus? Sometimes the wounded little guy is driving the bus and sometimes the wise person is driving the bus. It's moment by moment depending on what's coming into us from data. It's knowing now who you are, what triggers you What kinds of shadows do you have, right? What do you want? What do you not want people to know about you? ''If they only knew me . . . '', then fill in the blank, they would know I'm a genius, or they would know that they don't want to be my friend. Which way do you want to look at it? '’If you only knew me . . . ’’ is a good one to start with.

Ep115 is with Carol Marzouk, the Executive Lion Tamer. According to Carol, ''We're all icebergs. We have stuff everyone sees and then stuff that they don't. The trick is to get underneath the iceberg in a non-invasive way so you understand people's currency. Even if you've been with them for 30 years, you can ask questions like, ‘’You know, I know we've worked together for a long time, and shame on me for not asking sooner, but I've been thinking about how important you are to me. And I want to know, where do you see yourself in a year?’’ TALKING POINTS [2:15] What’s the story around how you gained the title, ‘’Executive Lion Tamer’’ please Carol? [8:50] There are 3 types of aggressive behavior: · physical and verbal aggression · active aggression · passive aggression. [25:12] Many times we'll say that person just doesn't listen. A tool to use is to listen with a pen. You can say, ‘’What you're saying is so important to me that I'm going to write down as much as I can.’’ [27:44] When you go through the stages of engage and inspire, then the last piece is unite, unite the team. And this is where you really not only have culture by design, you design your culture, bringing everyone together and uniting them as a cohesive team that has each other's backs. F [30:43] I should be asking them about where they want to head in their career. You ask them, what are your motivators? What gets you excited? How do you like to learn? How do you like to complete projects? Do you like to be told step by step or told just the outcome and then you figure out the how? It's having these dialogues to get underneath the surface and make people feel valued.

Phenomenology is your lived experience of being in the world. Dan Silberberg makes Phenomenology understandable e.g. you might show up with anger, or without much of a voice, or all you want to do is please others. To become a better leader, understand your own phenomenology, how you show up in the world. You can view Dan Silberberg's programs, the 12-month Leader Council or 13-week Leader Program to 2-day workshops, 1-on-1 coaching at https://entelechy.ai/ Go to the Programs tab. (Tell them Nina Sunday referred you.) TALKING POINTS [5:08] The question is not, ''What is the meaning to life? The question is, ''What is the meaning you're giving to your life?'' [6:35] Certain people get fired and they're devastated. The meaning they bring to it is, ''I'm not worthy. I'm not capable. I can't hold a job.'' Another person's meaning is, ''I meant to leave. They actually help me to do the business I've always had in my heart.'' It's the same event, but it has a different meaning. [13:10] Phenomenologically, are you living in your dream or living in somebody else's? If you don't build your dream, then you're helping others build theirs. [13:54] Phenomenology describes ’being thrown in the world’’. I got thrown into the family. I got thrown into the parents I got thrown into a great zip code or not-so-good zip code. I got thrown into a particular ethnicity, a particular gender, all these things. I had no say in it. [34:19] As a leader, as you show up dealing with people, are they arguing with you all the time? Are they silent? Are they just hoping to get away from you? Do they freeze and just let you go and walk all over them? What reaction are they having? [40:45] I'm looking for 12 - 15 people in a C-Suite role who are committed to the journey to open up and have a life greater than anything they could have imagined. === Dan Silberberg's leadership programs start soon: 12-month Leader Council - only 12 - 15 individuals in a C-Suite role. 13-week Leader program 2-day Paradigm Shift workshop 1-on-1 coaching Find out more https://entelechy.ai/ select the PROGRAMS tab.

What irritates you about meetings? Do you find meetings time-consuming and inefficient? What comes up in our Leading Effective Meetings workshops as a point of frustration is agenda, either no agenda or unclear agenda or one not stating the purpose of the meeting. Poor meeting management comes up frequently as a bugbear. Meeting participants want to know whether there's prep or pre-reading for them to do, the duration of different agenda items, whether they are going to be asked to speak, and so on. It makes sense to add a time duration against each agenda item. In summary, the most common gripes are: • no agenda sent ahead of time • agenda unclear or lacks the objective • absence of agenda What are some common agreements teams decide to adopt? Agenda structure - is there a best practice? What’s the biggest no-no about meeting behaviour? What are some roles to have in a meeting? How can the team leader minimise conflict? How can you build capability of aspiring managers? What causes online meeting fatigue? What does author of ''Principles: Life and Work'', Ray Dalio, say about meetings? What is the RACI framework from Project Management?

113 ''Showing Up As Yourself Leadership'', Lynell Green with Nina Sunday (14:60) My coaching style is that people discover the next level of their leadership. Do you want to be a, a leader in this organization? What does that look like to you? What are you currently doing and what do you see for the future and what I consider where I spend most of my time with my clients is in that gap. And then we create a working strategy on how they're going to get the experiences they need and who they need to talk to. Every person, whether you're the janitor or the CEO, has to be responsible for the ecosystem of all the people that are influencing your job. (6.40) You have to actually shine brighter to be seen, not get behind somebody and hide behind their brightness. It doesn't work that way. (7:44) What's classic avoiding behavior? (14:30) You want to be responsible for putting something in your toolkit. So when those recurring issues show up, you have tools there to use for yourself and not weapons against somebody; but tools. (20:44) Stu Brody, "The Law of Small Things: Creating a Habit of Integrity in a Culture of Mistrust." (2019) https://amzn.to/3ZymzPz Listen to Stu Brody's episode 30 on Manage Self, Lead Others here: https://youtu.be/sEZOySOo2U0 (21:10) Q. Have you come across leaders who forgive themselves operate with lack of integrity, yet don't really realize that is not good? A. Termites are little things; they can eat the house. If you allow those termites, what you consider to be white lies, they will continue to multiply and erode your confidence, because you're not going to remember every lie you told.

"Your psychological immune system is trying to keep you safe; is looking and scanning for threats, and when it finds a threat, it doesn't mobilize T-cells; it doesn't mobilize biology, it mobilizes your action. Let's say, my parents fought a lot; it got intense sometimes. As a kid I realized conflict is bad, and I just don't want to do conflict. ''If conflict happens, I can crack a joke. I can roll over, I can be submissive, I can run away. Now I'm starting to build this paradigm similar to the immune system; whenever a conflict happens, I can do XYZ, but I'm not allowed to do ABC." === TALKING POINTS (12:50) Where do emotions come from? Years ago Onno was taught a helpful, simplified framework for how the way we interact with and perceive the world influences our emotional state (and from there, how we react/respond to the world). Getting a handle on how we're creating our own emotions is more helpful than being at the whim of others, or the environment. As long as you're not deathly afraid of snakes 🐍 you'll enjoy this part of the conversation. (18:20) Emotions are contagious. And guess whose emotions are MOST contagious? You guessed it - the Leader's. This is why it's so important (22:35) We all have a physical immune system, which gets tailored and learns and adapts to our life circumstances. It's a helpful analogy (by Kegan and Lahey) to think we also have a "Psychological" Immune System getting equally tailored depending on life experiences. Once in place, it allows and disallows certain behaviors. Which is great. . . unless your role requires you to step into some previously "off limits" behaviors. (31:20) Host, Nina Sunday, shares a formative experience of her own. (33:20) Practical next steps. Onno shares one idea for a simple next step you can take to get more clear on how your immune system is acting up, and how you can become more of the leader in your life; more conscious, more effective less reactive.
