Show Notes

In this episode, Sandi speaks with Tania Luna, LifeLabs Learning co-founder and chair of the board, as well as co-author of The Leader Lab and co-founder of Scarlet Moon Sanctuary. She’s also affiliated with Columbia University’s eLab, an accelerator program for entrepreneurs who increase equity and access to high quality education.

Tania is originally from Ukraine and emigrated to the US when she was six years old which has informed her worldview. She’s a thought leader in organizational psychology. We talk about three keys to success for entrepreneurs & startup founders: 

  1. Practice outlearning vs outsmarting your problems. Learn quickly and collaboratively enough to adapt to the changing world. Learning is infinite; smarts are finite. 
  2. ‘Power over vs power with’ management philosophy attributed to Marie Parker Follette. We talk about the ‘IKEA’ effect–when we build something, we attribute more value to it. 
  3. Putting process behind your passion. Success entrepreneurs step back and analyze how to make something scalable and efficient. 

At LifeLabs Learning, Tania studies what differentiates average managers from great managers. We talk about the importance of making businesses more scalable.either through automating processes, creating checklists, creating training, etc.

Hiring managers, listen to what to keep in mind when recruiting, retaining, and engaging employees especially in sectors where it’s hard to find qualified people. She talks about employee engagement and shares the CAMPS model.

We have a great conversation about how employers can build a pipeline of future, qualified candidates. 

Learn more about Tania’s book The Leader Lab: How to Become a Great Manager Faster. She also co-hosts a podcast with her husband, Talk Psych to Me. 

In her work at Scarlet Moon Sanctuary, she helps animal rescues and advocacy organizations that support animal well being run more efficiently by reviewing and improving systems and processes.
