Episode 3
In episode 3 on Leaders, Leadership Systems and the Impact on Culture Walt Carter, Pat Romboletti and John Vinyard will take a deeper dive into the conversation on culture.
Key themes:
- Culture - what is it and what do I need to do?
- Leadership systems - what is a leadership system and how is it used?
Leadership thoughts:
- Changing culture is a very difficult process, and can only be done with the support (air cover) from the top leader
- Mentorship programs must be focused on the Mentee, not the mentor
Importance:
- Leaders who try to disrupt the culture MUST have 100% of their leaders support while they are trying to "tilt the culture"
How do I reflect on myself as a leader?
- What am I doing which is in conflict with the culture?
- Do I have leadership support?
- Do I know the requirements of my direct reports?
- Do they TRUELY feel I care about them?
- Who mentors me?
- Do I have 3 mentors?
- One that is outside the organization
- One that is inside the organization (higher level)
- One that is inside the organization
- Someone that sees you everyday
- A millennial to learn from each other
- Do I have 3 mentors?
