Feeling a bit blurry after that meeting? You are very likely not alone. Did you know each person layers meaning onto the words spoken during a conversation? Read more about the concept of Conversational Intelligence® on The CreatingWE® Institute website. In tomorrow's MBT Blog, we discuss how CIQ impacted three individuals. https://lnkd.in/g5xFRGJJ https://lnkd.in/d_wPZCP6 #conversationalintelligence #CIQ #converstions #belonging #buildingbelongingintobusiness

In our September article, we at Integrated Growth, Inc. considered a new type of ELT – an Enterprise Leadership Team (as opposed to the traditional Executive Leadership Team that most of us are familiar with). Over the next five months, we’ll be diving deeper into how to build a true Enterprise Leadership Team, whether at the executive level, the regional level, or any level of the organization. In doing so, we will walk the wheel of our proprietary PRIDE Model (Purpose, Roles, Infrastructure, Dynamics, Execute), focusing on one element each month. Our October newsletter focuses on the first element, PURPOSE, and will be dropping early next week. Be sure to subscribe here, https://lnkd.in/g9Pkkrh6! In the meantime, we’ve compiled a few tips to get you started in transforming your team into a highly effective Enterprise Leadership Team: LEARN | Things for you to learn: 🎯 New definitions of ownership and accountability — shifting from functional to shared goals, measurements, and rewards UNLEARN | Things for you to unlearn: 🎯 Defensiveness — perceiving questions from others as judgment or doubt in your capabilities or competence PERMISSION | Things for you to give yourself and others permission to do: 🎯 Challenge and share — to challenge fiefdoms and allow your own to be challenged, while sharing resources and talent across the enterprise For more tips, take a look at the full cheat sheet in our latest article, “Transforming the ELT”, here: https://lnkd.in/g96yAhRh Do you have any tips of your own for transitioning your leadership team to an Enterprise Leadership Team?

https://lnkd.in/gmjXGKD2 The future of leadership is at a critical juncture, demanding bold innovation to navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead. In the book "Genesis" by Henry Kissinger and Eric Schmidt, the fusion of humanity and technology underscores the need for forward-thinking leadership. Their exploration of artificial intelligence's transformative power prompts us to rethink our approach to leading, adapting, and thriving in an ever-evolving landscape. No Fear, just fearless leadership. At Vistage, this ethos resonates deeply. Just as "Genesis" advocates for leaders to chart uncharted territories, we at Vistage are committed to cultivating resilience and fostering innovation within our community. Our foundation lies in guiding through adversity, identifying silver linings in uncertainty, and fostering collaborative efforts that drive substantial advancements. The integration of AI into leadership stands as a monumental opportunity in our era. Through Vistage, leaders access a supportive network and expert perspectives to delve into how AI can elevate decision-making, streamline operations, and unveil novel avenues. Together, we transform disruptions into prospects, reshaping the landscape of business and leadership for a promising future. In this era of inevitable change, the real challenge lies in how we respond. As George Bernard Shaw aptly said, "Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." Contemplating the impact of AI on our evolution sparks a profound reflection on how we can harness its superhuman capabilities to redefine our identities and capabilities. in my Vistage practice, it's always "Game day football." How exciting to contemplate a new AI Game Day!

P.E.T. AKA, Parent Effectiveness Training, (the program by Dr. Thomas Gordon that introduced Active Listening, I-Messages to the world) was in the news recently...that is, it was in "Newsweek" Magazine: They interviewed GTI Master Facilitator, Meike Lemmens and our CEO, Linda Adams, and produced a very in-depth article - please share away! https://lnkd.in/gPvikAdU #newsweek #parenting #parenteffectivenesstraining #magazine #blog #parents #gordonmodel

I think about people who... left me behind. Also, of those I let go. When you are a leader, to be Forward-Thinking, it's your Responsibility to think about the Future of the Organization & More importantly, those who Look up to You. And to also recognize, when they would've wanted to grow. Or be a no-show. It's not for us to judge. It's for us to be by their side. We should have nothing to hide. I'm so thrilled to be featured here. What do you think leaders should consider in Succession Planning?

When reviewing an idea, my advice to leaders is to focus on strategic alignment. Leaders need to provide clear strategic guidance on the arenas they want their innovation teams to explore and ask the right questions: https://hubs.la/Q02zRxyq0

In this video, we dive into two critical errors leaders make when it comes to understanding human systems: https://lnkd.in/etCVRcq2 Many leaders mistakenly focus on individual behaviors rather than the team as a collective. A young leader I worked with discovered this firsthand—despite one-on-one commitments from his team members, the group's dynamics overshadowed any progress. The key is to facilitate conversations in a group setting, ensuring clarity on team goals and mutual support. The second error is a belief that teams aren’t necessary. I encountered an executive director who thought individual accountability was enough, overlooking the power of collaboration. Remember, significant achievements happen within teams, not in isolation. Leaders must master self-management to create positive changes. By fostering a support system that encourages collective alignment, you can guide your team toward success. Stay tuned for more insights on self-mastery and team dynamics! 🌟 #Leadership #Teamwork #HumanSystems
