LeaderChat 2020

Session 6.0: Dr. Henry Cloud | General Discussion

10/20/2020

 
Use this thread for general commentary on the session and what your takeaways are! Feel free to post questions, share stories, etc. 

​One of the biggest roadblocks to innovation and positive disruption is the tendency to cling to what’s always been done, says psychologist and leadership export Dr. Henry Cloud in his talk at Leadercast 2020—Positive Disruption. “Today may be the biggest enemy of your tomorrow,” he explains, noting that in order for leaders to create positive disruption, they must end what has always been in the past— what he calls necessary endings. They can do this by pruning.

Session 6.1: Dr. Henry Cloud | #1

10/19/2020

 

Prune what's good.

Just because something is going well today, profitable even, doesn’t mean it’s what’s best for tomorrow, says Dr. Cloud. He uses the example of Steve Jobs reducing Apple’s computer offerings from 43 different versions down to the four models available today. Steve shut down what wasn’t best for his vision for tomorrow.
  • ​How do we have courageous conversations around positive disruption - even when things are good? 
  • Is good the enemy of great? How often do we find ourselves content with the status quo because it's going "good".

Session 6.2: Dr. Henry Cloud | #2

10/18/2020

 

Prune what's sick. 

There are some business models and people that aren’t going to work within the vision of tomorrow. If something is sick and unlikely to get well, it’s time to let it go. 
  • This is a hard conversation. The example given of the father's business and succession plan to his son that was disrupted because his son didn't have the same vision and values.
  • To the parents: Have you ever had a hard conversation similar with your children or coworkers?
  • To those in supervisory roles: How do we encourage and promote a healthy, positive, and productive conversation like this with employees? 
  • How does "pruning" in your organization look?

Session 6.3: Dr. Henry Cloud | #3

10/17/2020

 

Prune what's dead.

 Obviously, if something isn’t even working for you today, it holds no place in being part of your tomorrow.
  • I won't ask you to post about your organization, but something what's something in your personal life that holds no place in being part of your tomorrow? 
  • What's one negative habit that you can disrupt today?

Session 5.0: Bozoma Saint John | General Discussion

Positive disruption is one of the most difficult things for us to understand, says Bozoma Saint John, chief marketing officer of Endeavor, in her talk at Leadercast 2020—Positive Disruption. “How do you do it in a way that will make you better without affecting and truly negatively disrupting everything around you?” she asks. For her, positive
disruption means constantly challenging her interactions with people and her career.

Session 5.1: Bozoma Saint John #1

10/11/2020

 

Innovate Yourself

You should always be working to better yourself, even if you’re in the spotlight where your mistakes are out there for everyone to see. The spotlight is an opportunity to always put your best foot forward, says Bozoma, but it shouldn’t deter you from evolving and stepping outside of your comfort zone.
  • What is your relationship with 'failure' and 'mistakes'? Are you comfortable or uncomfortable with it? Accepting of it? Celebratory of it? Fearful of it?
  • Have you ever tried to innovate yourself or a project and got burned?
  • Have you ever had a mistake or failure that led to a breakthrough?

Session 5.2: Bozoma Saint John #2

10/10/2020

 

Listen to Your Inner Voice

Bozoma advises leaders to lean on their guts in their decision-making. In her experience making decisions in the spotlight, she’s learned to really depend on and trust her inner voice. “When you are trying to make a decision, or you’re trying to pivot, or you’re trying to evolve, the best advice is your own,” she explains. Seek counsel from mentors, parents or friends, but at the end of the day, it’s all about what you want to do. 
  • "The best counsel is your own" ... Do you agree with her?
  • How do we balance the mentor-ship and counsel of others with ownership and responsibility of our actions?​

​In the beginning of the video Bozoma mentions that she calls herself a bad-ass often. She's kind of her own 'hype-man". 
  • Do you ever hype yourself up or give yourself a pep-talk?
  • What role does your inner voice play to boost confidence and courage in times of disruption?

Session 5.3: Bozoma Saint John #3

10/9/2020

 

Showcase Your Authentic Self

“If you are authentically and wholly yourself as you enter spaces, you will positively disrupt those spaces,” says Bozoma. She uses the example of DNA to illustrate her point: When one strand of DNA is different from the rest, it changes the matter all together. When leaders show up as their authentic selves, that is positive disruption in and of itself.
  • Describe your thoughts and emotions when she discussed being a black woman on stage presenting a new Apple product where usually it's Steve Jobs or a male C-Level executive.
  • Share a story: In scenarios where you might feel nervous, uncomfortable, or out of place... How does being your authentic self bring positive disruption?

Session 4.0: Sangram Vajre | General Discussion

Use this thread for general commentary on the session and what your takeaways are! Feel free to post questions, share stories, etc. 

What do Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Simon Sinek and Brené Brown have in common? They all understand the power of community, or “belongship” as Sangram Vajre defines it in his talk at Leadercast 2020—Positive Disruption. “The best of the best leaders in the business world, and the world of influence, understand [belongship] and implement it,” he says. “Without a community, you are simply a commodity.” Belongship is about creating a community based on trust, safety and care, and the way to achieve that on your team is to have the following four key attributes.

Session 4.1: Sangram Vajre #1

Paint a picture of success.

This is the ability to paint a clear picture of where exactly you are headed. “[As a leader, you] need to create a Promise Land, a picture of success, so clear that people will run through walls for you,” explains Sangram. It must be a clear picture, otherwise there will be a lack of clarity that will cause confusion.
