    Ep130 Feedback: Giving and Receiving, with Mel Kettle

    Ep130 Feedback: Giving and Receiving, with Mel Kettle

    Episode 130 is with Mel Kettle, author of "The Social Association" and "Fully Connected'.

    TALKING POINTS

    Not only do you give feedback down, you give it across and you give it up as well.
    Giving feedback is one skill set, while how to receive feedback is just as important.

    When you hear the word feedback, how do you react? “Feedback” is one of those words that can be polarizing and cause panic.
    I encourage leaders to create a culture of conversation within their organization so that they never have to use the word feedback.

    How do I have a conversation with my manager who doesn't listen?

    If you don't have a trusted relationship with your manager, then that's going to be a difficult conversation. What do you do when you're on the receiving end of that difficult conversation?

    Mel Kettle has a five-step feedback framework.

    Ep129 - Working Async, with Lynne Cazaly

    Ep129 - Working Async, with Lynne Cazaly

    Ep129 we speak with Lynne Cazaly and her book, "Sync Async"
    making a distinction between synchronous and asynchronous work.
    The author urges people to consider more asynchronous ways of working.
    There will always be too much to do and not enough time to do it. Putting practical sync async techniques to work can make your work easier . . . and the rest of life better.
    Consider:
    ·     Do we really need everyone at the same meeting at the same time?
    (synchronous work)
    ·      Could some people contribute prior to, or after the meeting or begin working on tasks outside of a meeting? (asynchronous work).
    A growing number of teams and businesses are learning and experiencing the value of deliberately working in sync / async ways.
    That is, some work is completed synchronously - at the same time with other people; and other elements of work completed asynchronously - at a time and in a way that suits them.

    In this conversation with author Lynne Cazaly, we discuss how, why and when to work in sync and async ways
    ·      tools for making great async progress
    ·      ways to identify the type of work you prefer
    ·      how to make daily progress easier - get started on things that
    have stopped and accelerate things that have slowed.
    You don't need to wait for a culture change or for someone to give
    you the go-ahead on this. You can start working better in both sync and async
    ways from today.

    ABOUT LYNNE CAZALY

    Ep127 - VUCA leadership, with Dan Silberberg

    Ep127 - VUCA leadership, with Dan Silberberg

    In Episode 127, I speak again with Thought Leader and Visionary Dan Silberberg around the evolving role of leadership in a world of disruption.
    There’s a shift from focusing solely on productivity to valuing intelligence as the key competitive advantage.
    Multiple areas of disruption can be described with the VUCA framework.  
    A leader’s full time job is global volatility.
    Another full time job is global uncertainty and unpredictability.
    Another full time job is unraveling complexity.
    And then the last one, just in case you didn't have enough to deal with, is ambiguity.
    The traditional hierarchical model is insufficient for dealing with such complexities. Dan advocates for an ecosystem approach where leaders become facilitators rather than top-down decision-makers.
    To be a great leader requires critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and lifelong learning. We need authentic organizational values, hiring based on cultural fit, personal authenticity in interviews.
    Leaders need to adapt to the rapidly changing landscape by fostering innovation, embracing ndiversity, and building trust within their organizations.

    [4:42] The unique selling proposition was good, but no one wants to be sold to. And then we created the elevator pitch. And again, that's the problem with the elevator pitch. It's like you're pitching to someone. It sounds hustle-based.

    Ep125 - Employee Cost: Wrong Thinking, Prof. Peter Cappelli with Nina Sunday

    Ep125 - Employee Cost: Wrong Thinking, Prof. Peter Cappelli with Nina Sunday

    This episode is with Peter Cappelli DPhil, George W. Taylor Professor of Management; Director, Center for Human Resources, The Wharton School; author of “Our Least Important Asset: Why the Relentless Focus on Finance and Accounting is Bad for Business and Employees" https://amzn.to/3P5WTGd
    Recently named by HR Magazine as one of the top 5 most influential management thinkers, we speak about wrong thinking when it comes to employee cost and value.
    TIMESTAMPS
    [2:02] Why do leaders see employees as liabilities instead of assets?

    [3:47] Is that a failure of the imagination?

    [5:50 ] Replacing my employees with contractors and with leased employees

    [6:24] What's the problem with managers coming from engineering or finance backgrounds?
     
    [11:19 ] But what they don't track is, are we hiring good people?
     
    [12:20] What money you're going to give me to make me want to move? And they're not necessarily more successful than an active candidate. In fact, they're less successful. That's an interesting paradox.
     
    [13:15 ] We know that active candidates are people who want to advance.
     
    [13:37 ] For any line manager, middle manager, c-suite manager, your advice would be always advertise for a role?
     
    [14:20] A study compared people who were promoted from within to a job, to those who were hired from the outside into the identical job. People hired from outside took 3 years to get up to speed compared to people promoted from within. And it took people promoted from within 7 years to catch up to the pay of people who were hired from outside. So you pay a salary premium and you suffer a performance hit when you fill those jobs from outside.
     
    [16:31] The other paradox you describe how at the start of the recent pandemic when 70% of office workers were sent home to work, because the feeling was, “We're all in this together”, employees were trusted to get the job done. And they did because they were trusted. Then came a shift to monitoring software on the assumption that left to their own devices, people would goof off. So, what's the situation now?
