Facilitated live sketching is the secret ingredient that takes strategic planning and execution, or any important initiative, to the next level. Typically, leaders invest enormous resources in formulating change strategies, but don’t effectively articulate them. There is no “big picture” to align around. The result? 70% of transformations fail. But live sketching helps teams “get it”—faster, better, and together. The best way to understand a new vision... is to make it visual. Because when everyone can see the big picture, you can effect real change. #thoughtleadership #blog #livesketching #strategy #engagement https://hubs.la/Q02tGmVk0

Navigating Uncertain Times with Ontological Leadership In today's chaotic and rapidly changing world, traditional leadership models are falling short. We need a profound transformation in leadership paradigms—one that delves into the essence of Being and consciousness. Enter Ontological Leadership, inspired by timeless Indic wisdom. Ontological Leadership transcends conventional managerial techniques and strategic frameworks, drawing from the deep insights of Yog and Vedanta. This approach emphasizes leading with unbound inner wisdom, which stems from an unattached, unsullied, and all-inclusive consciousness. Core virtues include integrity, authenticity, creativity, courage, and compassion. Key principles of Ontological Leadership: 1. Resilience: Ontological leaders embrace change as a natural part of life. They cultivate resilience and adaptability, viewing challenges and setbacks as opportunities for growth and learning. 2. Servant Leadership: Reflecting the spirit of Karm Yog, ontological leaders prioritize the needs of others over ego-driven desires. They empower and inspire those around them, fostering a culture of trust, accountability, and collective purpose. This paradigm shift calls for creating environments, cultures, and institutions that nurture growth, fostering a sense of connection and empathy among all. In doing so, we can navigate these uncertain times with a deeper understanding and harmony, resonating with the challenges of our era. #Leadership #OntologicalLeadership #CorporateTransformation #Resilience #ServantLeadership #Yog #Vedanta #ConsciousLeadership #IndicWisdom

A lot of organizations chase new tools and trends without considering how their teams will adapt to them. Dr. Jason Cisneros-Steinert brings his Ph.D. in Psychology and decade of consulting experience to show why striving for best in class requires thoughtful implementation, not just jumping to adopt the latest, greatest solution. In this episode of Learning Unbound, he shares methods like “road shows” and accepting partial buy-in as a win — pushing past top-down directives to create more authentic dialogue between leaders and teams. Change doesn't need to stop - but taking time to bring people along creates more sustainable results than forcing rapid adoption. Watch the full episode to learn how empathetic leadership and collaborative learning can guide teams through periods of transition and turn resistance into results: https://lnkd.in/gyn3s9Jm

Towards a Network-First Future of Work Francisco Marin of Cognitive Talent Solutions provides an insightful breakdown of the differences between Hierarchy-First and Network-First approaches across organisational concepts (see Figure): “While hierarchies have long been the norm, favoring clear lines of authority and collaborative control, the network-first model prioritizes collaborative freedom, decentralization, and the strength of informal relationships.” Francisco's article is featured in the September edition of Data Driven HR Monthly, where I select and curate the best HR, future of work and people analytics resources of the month.

Unlock the secrets to ICF Credential Success. "When I first pursued my ACC credential, even though I had a terrific mentor coach, I still found the process incredibly overwhelming.
 There’s a lot to manage—the standards are high, the stakes feel even higher. My mentor helped me understand how to bring the ICF core competencies alive and gave solid feedback that helped me elevate my practice. 
Now, years later, as a PCC, PCC Assessor and Mentor Coach, I understand how crucial the right guidance can be. That’s why we’ve created this Masterclass—to help you succeed at every stage of your ICF credentialing journey." - Alison Geskin, PCC CEC CODC CLC Mentor Coach + CEO The Art of Strategy We tag Susan McGuire, PCC to share her ICF Journey! #MyICFStory #ICFJOURNEY #ICF #MentorCoach

Fixing your weaknesses instead of building on your strengths is a bad idea. Trying to fix others' weaknesses instead of building on their strengths is just as bad. Yet people, schools and companies are still teaching and pursuing this strategy as if it leads to success. It doesn't. Performance matters.
