    When You're Not the Expert: Why Leaders Need Interactional Expertise

    In this episode of The Visible Leader, I talk to Ed Fidoe - co-founder of the London Interdisciplinary School - about a concept that could radically shift how leaders operate: interactional expertise. What do you do when your team knows more than you do? How do you lead across functions where you don’t have the depth of knowledge? And how can you avoid falling into the trap of blind trust or dangerous overconfidence? Ed shares brilliant insights from his leadership journey, from running a university to launching theatre productions, and explains why not knowing doesn’t have to undermine your leadership - if you know how to ask the right questions, build context, and read between the lines. We also talk about Steve Jobs, Dunbar’s Number, and what good strategy actually looks like. Key Takeaways: Interactional expertise is the ability to understand and talk fluently about topics you’re not an expert in - vital for cross-functional leadership. Leaders "acting out" might look like not asking questions or pretending to understand, driven by a fear of looking silly. Build your confidence by reading beyond your domain - whether it’s marketing, HR, or science. Get better at decision-making and communication by knowing when to zoom in and zoom out. Small shifts, like asking for a podcast recommendation from your product manager or keeping meetings to 5 people, can make a big difference.Find Ed here: LIS: lis.ac.uk Connect with Ed on LinkedIn: Ed FidoeCurious how high performing your team really is?

    In this episode, I chat with Marcus Dimbleby, a former military officer, Marcus has been helping organizations build adaptive leadership, resilience, and engagement since retiring from the Royal Air Force in 2013 through his work at Effective Direction. We explore why so many leaders struggle to create empowered teams and what's really needed to bridge the gap between intent and execution. Have a listen to learn practical strategies to truly empower your team, drive engagement, and improve results. Key takeaways Why simply telling your team they're empowered isn't enough. What are the key signs that your team may actually be disempowered, even if they don't say it? Why buzzwords like empowerment and psychological safety often fail to have an impact in organisations. Are you, as a leader, truly enabling your team to thrive, or just using the language of empowerment? How active listening transforms the way you engage with your team and improves their performance. What causes resistance to empowerment, and how can leaders build trust to overcome it?Resources: Connect with Marcus and learn more about his work at https://www.effectivedirection.com/Contact Me: Book your free 30-minute discovery call with me here: https://calendly.com/visiblydifferentcorine/1-2-hr-discoverycall Download my Leader's Guide to Increasing Your Impact, Influence & Free Time https://www.visibly-different.co.uk/increasing-your-impact/If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with someone who might benefit and don't forget to leave a rating and review!
