Thinking Inside, Outside or in a New Box Oct 05, 2016

Show notes

Working within a framework and structured environment builds organizational stability and in-depth experience. To grow and innovate, thinking outside the box is recommended. Can growth and innovation only happen trampling over stability and experience? As organizations, can we get our people to contribute towards growth and innovation while staying within their current boxes? Or, do we need new, different box?

Change at the Speed of Trust Sep 21, 2016

Show notes

Strategy may be important but change involves people. An environment where everyone is motivated to engage individually and as a team requires a threshold of trust. Trust is based on where we are going, how we are progressing and is it in the best interest of all parties involved. Reduced trust can adversely impact the change process and offset the value it may deliver. How can leaders build, measure and improve the level of trust in their organizations and maintain it above a threshold as they go about leading change?
