    Avocados - When Produce Produces Innovation Nov 01, 2023
    Show notes

    Guest: Alvaro Luque

    Innovation is key to success in our changing world. And avocados are the key to innovation!

    They’re a superb example, at least. By fostering innovation, Alvaro Luque — president and CEO of Avocados From Mexico — boosted the overall market for avocados in the United States. And that market is still growing.

    One major move involved the Super Bowl, a move no one in the produce sector had ever tried before. Learn the results, and Alvaro’s tips for fostering innovation, in this episode!

    Here's what Alvaro and Maureen cover:

    1. The role of internal innovation champions within your organization;
    2. Why innovation is crucial to brand marketing that makes a difference, and
    3. Why boosting an entire market, including your competitors, is more profitable than just focusing on market share.

    When Your Path Is Unclear - Embodied Leadership & Way-Showing Oct 30, 2023
    Show notes

    Recorded live at the International Leadership Association global conference in West Palm Beach!

    Guests: Donna Marie Laskin & Chellie Spiller

    What can the Maori traditions of New Zealand teach you about leadership?

    Recorded at the 2018 International Leadership Conference in West Palm Beach, this episode explores embodied leadership and way-showing. With influences from Maori culture, guests Donna Laskin and Chellie Spiller reveal way-showing and embodied leadership as ideal practices for leaders to use when navigating uncharted territory where the path forward is unclear.

    Ethics help guide you as a leader, too. They’re critical to build trust and inspire followership.

    Together, ethics, way-showing, and embodied leadership provide hope that you have the ability to amplify your impact. They’re a great alternative to “tired” frameworks of leadership.

    Work, War, and In-Between: An International Peace Negotiator’s Top Tips for Resolving Conflict Oct 22, 2023
    Show notes

    Recorded live at the International Leadership Association global conference in Geneva!

    Guest: John, Lord Alderdice, Peer in the House of Lords

    Wars are raging again, yet peace IS possible. Getting there provides invaluable lessons for leaders dealing with conflict everywhere, whether it’s in the workplace or the battlefield. John, Lord Alderdice, has helped peace happen.

    From the Good Friday Agreement that ended the Troubles and brought peace to Northern Ireland, to understanding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Lord Alderdice has been involved in numerous peace negotiations. But finding peace requires a special kind of leader — one which may be in short supply lately.

    Lord Alderdice reveals to host Maureen Metcalf the leadership qualities that bring peace, promote peace, and maintain peace.

    Here's what John and Maureen cover:

    1. Why conflict is rooted in relationships – sometimes centuries old – more than specific actions or grievances;
    2. How the factors influencing conflict go far beyond the two sides we see fighting; and
    3. The importance of knowing that future generations pay the consequences of our actions today.

    Guest: Paul Gibbons

    The Strength of Vulnerability Oct 04, 2023
    Show notes

    Guest: Jacob Morgan

    There is strength in vulnerability. It sounds like a Zen master’s saying, but it’s a fundamental truth of today’s workplace: leaders who display vulnerability have greater success.

    But there are five different aspects to vulnerability, and Jacob Morgan shares them with host Maureen Metcalf. The loud, short-tempered leader who pretends to know it all is outdated and now hinders the growth of organizations. Jacob helps build stronger connections within your team — and beyond.

    Here's what Jacob and Maureen cover:

    1. The common thread of vulnerability Jacob discovered interviewing 100 top CEOs;
    2. The big difference between being vulnerable and vulnerability; and
    3. The benefits of vulnerability for a leader’s personal growth, professional success, and building a thriving organization.

    About Our Guest:

    After graduating with honors in business management economics and psychology from the University of California Santa Cruz, Jacob was excited to join the corporate world. At his first job he was told that he’d be traveling the country, meeting with executives and entrepreneurs, and doing all sorts of exciting work. A few months in, he was stuck doing data entry, cold calling, and PowerPoint presentations. One day the CEO came out of his nice corner office, handed Jacob a $10 bill and said, “I’m late for a meeting, go grab me a cup of coffee, and get something for yourself as well.” That was the last corporate job he ever had.

    Today, Jacob Morgan is a trained futurist and one of the world’s leading authorities on leadership, the future of work, and employee experience. He speaks in front of tens of thousands of people each year and his content is seen over a million times a year.

    Adaptive Leadership & Culture Change Oct 01, 2023
    Show notes

    Guest: Ron Heifetz

    In times of change, people often try to hold onto the values of their culture that have had personal meaning and significance to them. When dominant cultures are confronted with stresses, they are called to examine their values and take on very difficult integrative work. The leadership required must point out values their cultural values; in the United States, for example, one would be: We stand for freedom and respect for all people, and our policy does not align with what we say we stand for.

    How do we make space for this evolution? What are the “gives” and “gets” required to evolve cultures? How can we hold steady to our cultural DNA and still evolve? In nature, when an organism adapts, it builds on its old capacity and generates radically new functionality. Ron suggests that "God didn’t do zero-based budgeting in evolution." We honor our past yet determine what parts of the past we can release.

    Guest: Mansour Javidan

    What do getting a little drunk and meeting quarterly quotas have in common for leaders? They each build trust with your team — depending on what country you’re in!

    Guest Mansour Javidan has studied the similarities — and differences — in effective leadership in cultures across the globe. He shares the results of his research in this episode…especially the common qualities you’ll need to be a great leader no matter where you are.

    Here's what Mansour and host Maureen Metcalf cover:

    1. The importance of crafting a story with your team, no matter what nation they’re in;
    2. The roots of trust, and why it’s a need hard-wired into our biology; and
    3. The universal traits of good leadership (plus a few fun differences!).
