The new blog is here and inspired by Alan Dayley. This week, I talk about the forces that shape an organization. I include an infographic and a few practical pointers to help you identify the public, private, and unconscious forces shaping the organization. https://lnkd.in/gXSpSWXK #leadership #agile #culture Jennifer Davies, Casey Schaffer and Alistair Collier

Kaizen (改善), or continuous improvement, is a powerful approach to making incremental changes for the better. The term “Kaizen” comes from two Japanese words: “Kai” 改 (change) and “Zen” 善 (good), which together signify “change for the better.” How can Kaizen contribute to our professional and personal success? 👉 Check out my article: https://lnkd.in/dADFeH8r #kaizen #continuousimprovement #agilepmeducation #agileleadership #professionalgrowth #goals #personalgoals #motivation #leadership #agile #agilecoach #Leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #Management #Entrepreneurship #PersonalDevelopment

A system to address some of the more subtle challenges of growth… I’ve found that a growing number of CEOs and executive teams are becoming familiar with leadership operating systems for midsize companies; systems like The Rockefeller Habits, Scaling Up or the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), that are summarized in books by the same names. When CEOs and their teams successfully implement these methods, then growth, and even profitable growth becomes easier, especially if they're working with a leadership team coach. However, as companies grow, the journey becomes more complex and some gaps can become apparent in these systems. While I use the Scaling Up method and the Rockefeller Habits with the companies I work with, as well as some of the tools that are unique to EOS, I also rely on a system that builds on their shoulders to fill the gaps and address some of the more subtle challenges of growth: The 7 Attributes of Agile Growth.

The 4 disciplines of execution works, but… I’m usually wary of any book that claims its system will work well every time. However, I can say that the 4 Disciplines of Execution does work for executive teams (alot of the time). It’s very similar to the approach from Scaling Up and the 7 Attributes of Agile Growth that we use with leadership teams to help them execute their strategies. And that works. That said, how well these execution disciplines work depends on a number of things Click the image below to read the article. #executiveteamcoaching, #4DX, #execution

The Modern Leader's Indispensable Toolkit. As a Professional Coach and I-O Psychologist, I've had a front-row seat to the rapidly evolving demands faced by leaders across industries. In today's volatile entrepreneurship landscape, a new echelon of skills has emerged as mission-critical for those tasked with not just maintaining success, but forging new paths. While foundational business acumen remains important, the truly future-proofed leader must master a more expansive range of capabilities: I. Visionary Thinking An effervescent clarity of purpose, inspiring teams to lock sturdy eyes on the horizon. The capacity to transcend quarterly metrics and paint a captivating picture of possibility that galvanizes collective effort. II. Adaptability In our age of relentless disruption, leadership efficacy hinges on agile pivots. Rigid dogmas must bend like bamboo to the winds of change, nimbly adjusting strategies while core values remain rooted. III. Emotional Intelligence The astute self-awareness to role model resilience by regulating one's own emotional state. The empathetic attunement to navigate teams' dynamics with care and respect. A subtle alchemy of reason and relatings. IV. Decisiveness In a world inundated with incessant streams of data, the judicious ability to swiftly analyze, deliberate and commit to coherent action. Catalyzing forward momentum amidst swirling complexity. V. Effective Communication Translating ambiguous concepts into crisp, compelling narratives. Deftly code-switching between diverse stakeholders' languages to instill understanding and buy-in. The power to storytell a shared vision into reality. VI. Team Building A masterful conducting of team members' distinct talents, voices and perspectives into symbiotic high-performance. Rallying collective genius by creating psychologically safe environments of mutual trust. VII. Strategic Planning Constructing the overarching game plan by pragmatically synthesizing analysis of macro forces, resources and contingencies. Providing the indispensable strategic architecture for executing the vision. VIII. Innovation An intrapreneurial fire to blaze new trails when outworn paths stagnate. A bold creativity that challenges assumptions and conventional norms. The courage to transform oneself before seeking to transform the world. Now Fam, which of these capabilities could elevate your leadership impact? I offer personalized coaching programs to help you amplify the full scope of your talents as a trailblazer.
