With Guest Suzanne Lee from Straumann Group
Big Ideas:
- Intimate relationship between leadership and learning
- Leadership is an invitation to tomorrow that is better than today
- Perform for today, transform for tomorrow - learning and listening is at the core
- Learn faster than the environment is changing
- The I, the We and the It -- learning must happen on those 3 dimensions or you leave others behind
- Learning is a mindset, not a tool, process, or life hack
- Change is speeding up, so must learn faster than the change so we don't get swallowed up
- Taking responsibility for our workloads
- Learning as a value, so I make it happen no matter what is on my plate
- What am I okay with not doing perfectly
- Don't bother with time management hacks, be okay with not getting things done
- Intentionality of own growth, team growth, and individuals on teams growth
- How to reconcile performance with learning and what's on our plate
- Even within a system that won't help you keep your boundaries, if you have a discipline of reflection and perspective-taking, you can focus more on transform
- Create the space and time to reflect and learn
- Reject victim stance
- If not intentional, life takes over
- Learning on the job, not in the job
- Learning will get pushed to the bottom if it is an additional task
- If learning is a business priority to do your current job better, it's not a separate task
- Integrating the learning and reflection into the work as you do it
- Learning not as an additional to-do that no one has time for
- Challenge transforming from doing to learning -- great at perform, not so much at transform
- Building in micro-moments of reflection
- 70% of a learning organization is about the culture and leadership, not the tools
- Unless it is seen around them, they won't do it on their own
- Immediacy bias -- focus on today, not the future
- Persist in the struggle because it shows you are onto something - trust the process
- Debate the topic not the person
- How move from hub and spoke model, to a community of practice where we are all accountable
- Leading more from behind than right out on front
- Curiosity and coaching mindset rather than advice giving
- Bounce your worlds with others
- Shared accountability
