What if they were fully live beings, with physical, emotional, social, and environmental needs? What if businesses realized that they are people...too? Leaders looking to cultivate connection and kindness as they add HUMANITY into business wellbeing, this is for you!

    Season 4, Episode 8: What if....businesses recognized that WE is greater than ME?

    What if....businesses recognized that WE is greater than ME? with Suzanne Ricard-Greenway, SR Greenway Leadership On this episode, we dive on in and learn: Feltman's Model of Trust (The Thin Book of Trust) The theory, results, and insights on how to build trust via the Absolute Trust System Proactively, consciously building trust means anything is possible. When teams trust each other, they OWN mistakes, take accountability, challenge the status quo, etc. Trust allows leaders to be engaged and involved with their team Trust encourages innovation and creativity because of the synergy it creates for teams to thrive and produce Cognitive elaboration grows from trust - this is where the "impossible" solutions begin to happen In trusted environments, people love going to work Trust breeds the extraordinary 2 of the 4 pillars of the Absolute Trust System Pillar 1: People have different starting points with trust. Some give instantly, others require it be earned, others are somewhere in between Pillar 2: Our trust blind spots, meaning what we look for in trust is what we show in trust. Our brain defaults to "what makes sense to me makes sense to you," but this is not always the case (rarely) The simplest way to build trust is to ask them what you need to do to build their trust Clarity of expectations is crucial to earn or keep your trust. Create the same definition for expectations - finite details matter Trust building = transparent, explicit, and detailed communication Leaders gain trust from their people by being transparent, reliable, competent, and being an advocate for their people Teams who trust each other elevate their level of diversity, connection, and vulnerability.  Trust between teams become about the we and not the me of the team Trust is what will move teams out of storming, into norming, and all the way to performing Suzanne's answer to "What if...businesses realized that they are people too?"

E.g., higher income, better leadership, more confidence in uncertainty, etc. The power of a "literary mullet," fun in the front, data in the back The biological facts about creativity Creativity is contagious Why and how leaders can support teams to step into creativity Why we tend to fall back into status quo solutions when feeling uncertain and how creativity can reduce this How to redefine creativity within our business teams That DANCE helps to democratize creativity in teams (Daydream, Ambiguity, Novelty, Curiosity, and Edit Later) The difference between divergent creativity (ideating without judgement) and convergent creativity (distilling divergent creativity) Daydreaming = productive boredom Tolerance of Ambiguity to build non-status quo solutions How Novelty builds more data points for connecting to unique solutions in our brains Curiosity is the foundation of all creativity Ernest Hemingway was right when he said "Write drunk, edit sober" (separating divergent and convergent creativity) Caroline's answer to "What if...businesses realized that they are people too?"
