“The modern leader is not someone who knows everything, but is the one who knows how to navigate through the unknown.” On this episode of the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast, Craig Johns speaks with Anita Madan about how leaders cannot know everything, and allowing and creating space within organisations for innovation and creativity. Tune in to episode 231 https://buff.ly/3Ue7AZd “If you’re engaging your team to do things like 9 to 5 all the time, they do not have the space to think anything different. They are just following the routines. So create that space even for yourself. When you are working on something more creative, more innovative, very different, if you are not creating that space for yourself and your team, you’re really lacking on the best talent.” We also dive deeper into identifying if an individual contributor is suited for management, gender diversity in leadership, and recognising the importance of human touchpoints. “Don’t ask the fish to climb the tree. Do not ask the bird to swim. It’s like that. So you should know who is the fish and who is the bird. Once you realize that, then talk to that person. I always do that with my team. I tell them, this is my observation. I think you will grow better in this part.” Download on your favourite podcast app or click here to listen https://buff.ly/3Ue7AZd #leadership #innovation #management #podcast #inspiringgreatleaders

Many leaders are surprised to find out how much their positional rank affects how open people are with them. This includes leaders who are very approachable, open and empathetic. It takes awareness, humility, courage and conscious effort to break down the barriers and build safety and space when there is a power differential. "Your role gets in the way of performing your role" is so true and challenging to navigate. Thank you Timothy R. Clark and Junior Clark for highlighting this issue. #leadership #listening #powerdynamics #organisationalculture #psychologicalsafety #communication

When you step into a formal leadership role, you face a built-in obstacle to fully seeing your organisation’s reality. The power difference between yourself as a leader and your direct reports and teams means that the feedback you receive can become filtered. In other words, “your role gets in the way of performing your role,” according to Junior Clark, speaking with Timothy R. Clark on the Culture by Design podcast. Even the most open leaders have to work hard to reduce the perceived risk of people speaking up. Having an open door policy won’t be enough - you will need to proactively seek out the ‘reality’ by soliciting feedback, particularly asking open questions, being accessible, listening to and rewarding feedback when it comes.

Vulnerability is not the same as leading with vulnerability. In the latest episode of We are Human Leaders, we speak with best-selling author, futurist and in-demand speaker Jacob Morgan. Among the myriad messages leaders receive about how to build and foster trust, respect and psychological safety within their organizations and teams, the term ‘vulnerability’ gets bandied around a lot. However, not understanding how to lead with vulnerability undermines the leadership journey. As Jacob frames it, “Too often we tell employees, be vulnerable at work. That's terrible advice. It's not to say that you shouldn't be vulnerable, but you have to add that second piece: Don't just talk about the gap. Talk about what you're doing to close that gap.” Jacob Morgan is a trained futurist and one of the world’s leading authorities on leadership, the future of work, and employee experience and the best-selling author of five books including his latest, Leading With Vulnerability (Wiley 2024).
