    Leadering: Why The Playbook Is Dead.
    2023/03/28

    This transformative new era requires a radically different approach to leadership. The tactics put in place to reduce risk, drive success and make us feel safe in the past are now the very things creating vulnerability today. Nancy Giordano provides clarity and urgency around what twenty-first-century stewardship demands as exponential technologies and changing societal expectations converge to shape a better next.

    Ditching last century’s industrial playbook—driven relentlessly, and almost exclusively, on growth—allows us to instead focus on building new, more expansive practices committed to human-centric innovation, regenerative solutions, and the creation of long-term value. We don’t need to change what we think as much as how we think to be successful.

    In this conversation we speak with Carl Horton, Associate Partner, IBM Enterprise Strategy and Erica Herrera-Betteral, CEO of Belcorp on why the playbook is dead.

    This series is based on the #1 bestselling book by Nancy Giordano: Leadering. The Ways Visionary Leaders Play Bigger.

  • Leadering: Contribute (versus Extract)

    Leadering: Contribute (versus Extract)
    2023/03/28
    What is the role of business in a shifting society? As we become more aware of escalating environmental, ecological and societal breakdowns, we are (rightfully) taking a much closer look at industry practices and organizational values + behaviors.

    An emphasis on relentless short-term growth, thoughtless consumption and myopic efficiency have ignored the relationship we have to each other. And there is so much upside business upside to stewarding resources—including time, attention and materials—with greater care.

    Economist Kate Raworth agrees; as she puts it, 20th Century business was dominated by one narrow mindset that asked one overriding question: “How much financial value can we extract?” Whereas today, visionary corporate and civic leaders have shifted to ask: “How many benefits can we generate by the way we design things? What else can it give back to the system of which we are a part?”.

    Here we explore the shift from CSR thinking to recognizing our Social License to Operate; from Value Extraction to Value Contribution as we better understand it’s not about way we spend the money we make, but HOW we make the money. there is so much upside!

    In this conversation we speak with Craig Dubitsky, friendly founder of Hello Products and current Chief Innovation Strategist at Colgate-Palmolive about shifting from Extraction to Contribution.

    Leadering: Bold (versus Incremental).
    2023/03/28
    What do IKEA, CVS, Dick’s + United Healthcare have in common? They play big! I’ve spoken about our need to rethink Risk — that tactics we believed kept us safe last century are now making us vulnerable. One of those outdated beliefs is the focus on incremental improvement versus taking a (seemingly) audacious leap. we are increasingly being challenged to step up by new benchmarks such as the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and by more holistic replacements for GDP. Decisions or actions that look audacious at first challenge long standing approaches or technologies and often take a much broader view of ways things are connected. Audacious ideas become much more visible (and are given lift) when we commit to a “Massively Transformative Purpose”, and are able to point our compass toward a shared north star vs simply execute against an increasingly irrelevant list of directions. In this conversation we chat with Ida Hult, Former Foresight Lead at Inter IKEA about being bold versus incremental. This series is based on the #1 bestselling book by Nancy Giordano: Leadering. The Ways Visionary Leaders Play Bigger.

  • Leadering: Connected (versus Alone).

    Leadering: Connected (versus Alone).
    2023/03/28
    Years ago I was sharing a stage at a corporate event at Microsoft HQ (the only woman across 3 days of speakers, FYI) on a panel discussion with the head of Cloud computing at the time. He enthusiastically described all the ways the digital cloud would enable the tech advances we’ve been envisioning, from autonomous vehicles to smart toothbrushes. As he went on to paint a picture of a gloriously technologically connected future, I wondered and then asked the room: what is the equivalent of the “human cloud”? Meaning, how are we leveling up to meet the demands and expectations of this digital world? What is the equivalent accelerant for us?? What I realized I meant by that spontaneous question is how strong is our ability to connect, collaborate and care for each other... and ourselves? And why does this matter? Though a fundamental part of being a happy human, feeling connected is a key component to handling change, being comfortable in diverse environments, and being confident expressing a new/creative idea — all of which are critical. And yet the stats are terrible! 40% of CEO’s report feeling alone and 67% of us ate lunch at our desks, alone. For the first time, in the US there are more single person HH than married ones and family sizes are shrinking. And our communal social structures are taking a hit as the gig economy and entrepreneurship grows while church-going and club membership decline. The issue of connection scopes even more broadly as we examine our ability to collaborate, both inside and outside our organizations. Building eco-systems of support—even with competitors—is the only way to navigate the level of change, and the data shows there is so much untapped potential! In this conversation we speak with Erica Dhawan, CEO Cotential, and Douglas Rushkoff, Media Theorist and best-selling author, about being Connected versus Alone.

  • Leadering: Wonder (versus Resist).

    Leadering: Wonder (versus Resist).
    2023/03/28

    It has been estimated that 90 percent of the world’s information has been created in just the last two years. Embracing new information with wonder versus resistance opens us up to see the opportunities, advantages, and sometimes even the threats that change makes possible.

    As technology is advancing, information is growing, and culture is shifting exponentially, we must be willing to expand our current understandings, approaches, and beliefs. A constantly changing future requires a constantly learning person, team, or organization. Wonder and curiosity are essential for innovation and should be prioritized and incentivized as important. Imagine if rather than reactively responding with “that will never happen” we instead instinctively wondered… “what if”?

    In this conversation with Steven Kotler we discuss wonder versus resistance and the fourteen internet size revolutions coming our way in the next decade.

  • Leadering: Navigate (versus Replicate).

    Leadering: Navigate (versus Replicate).
    2023/03/28
    20th century business practices taught us to be “replicators”, focused on producing clear results as efficiently and consistently as possible in order to scale linear growth; month after month/quarter after quarter/year after year. The variably of creative thinking and experimentation was put through the extruders of TQM and Six Sigma processes by eager ROI seekers. In an era of radical transformation however, this no longer works. To ensure our relevance/survival, we must become Navigators focused on innovating new ideas and approaches that create sustainable value. The key to crossing what I describe as the “Liminal Gap” between these two mindsets requires rethinking risk, as I observe that nearly every tactic we believed kept us safe in the past of replicators, [silos, incremental thinking, hierarchy] is now creating vulnerability in the era of navigators. So what does it take to shift from cultures of efficiency to cultures of learning? In this conversation we speak with John Hagel, Chairman Deloitte Center for the Edge about navigating versus replicating. This series is based on the #1 bestselling book by Nancy Giordano: Leadering. The Ways Visionary Leaders Play Bigger.

    Leadering: Thrive (versus Die).
    2023/03/28
    We discussed the ways things are things are changing, why it matters and what the big opportunities are. Today we explore HOW to actually cross the Liminal Gap between the Industrial Era and this Exponential Productivity Revolution, as I describe it in my book, to make our visionary ideas happen. WHAT are ways can we better prepare ourselves, our teams, our organizations and even our children for this rapidly transformative new world taking shape? And how can we build a society that makes good use of complexity and enables us to all safely share resources and express our unique talents? WHERE can we turn for even more insight and inspiration? And WHO shows us the potential of Leadering in action? So far we’ve highlighted nine visionaries, and in this conversation we introduce you to the work of the energizing Alexis Taylor and profoundly insightful Riane Eisler. This series is based on the #1 bestselling book by Nancy Giordano: Leadering. The Ways Visionary Leaders Play Bigger.
