Innovating Leadership: Co-Creating Our FutureS9-Ep42: The Strength of VulnerabilityGuest: Jacob Morgan
There is strength in vulnerability. It sounds like a Zen master’s saying, but it’s a fundamental truth of today’s workplace: leaders who display vulnerability have greater success.
But there are five different aspects to vulnerability, and Jacob Morgan shares them with host Maureen Metcalf. The loud, short-tempered leader who pretends to know it all is outdated and now hinders the growth of organizations. Jacob helps build stronger connections within your team — and beyond.

Here’s the painful truth: following old established procedures and avoiding risk stifles your growth…even your survival. What’s the answer?
Innovation. But, as Dr. Karen Tilstra points out in this episode, fear keeps your team from embracing innovation. She calls the point of fear the Deathline.

Innovating Leadership: Co-Creating Our FutureS9-Ep39: Boosting Workplace Well-BeingGuest: Cameron Stockdale
Can a four-day workweek be just as productive – even more productive – than a five-day workweek?
The answer is an unquestionable “yes!” Cameron Stockdale talks about this and other workplace wellness initiatives with host Maureen Metcalf in this episode. Cameron is the CEO of the Work Wellness Institute in Vancouver, British Columbia. They’ve experimented with many different ways of improving employee wellness, with sometimes surprising results! For example, the staff overwhelmingly prefer taking walks outdoors over chillaxing indoors on yoga mats during their regular 17-minute breaks.

In their zealous rush to incorporate Artificial Intelligence, most corporate leaders are forgetting one thing: you.
Chris Nolan and Michael Schindler remind execs to remember humanness in their plans. AI may be a great time- and money-saving tool, but humans remain an important equation in the mix. A complete reliance on AI overlooks the nuances and insights humans bring to the table.
And, they warn, there’s one job that analysts already say AI may be able to do better than a human: CEO!

In this episode, Sonya Shelton reviews these and other critical elements of true leadership with host Maureen Metcalf.

40% of small and medium-sized businesses in Africa are owned by women. But expanding those businesses is tough: in 2022, single female founders and exclusively-female founding teams received only around 2.4% of investments that went to startups in Africa. Pauline Koelbl is out to change that and narrow the extreme gender gap.
Born in Rwanda, Pauline faced the challenges of life as a young refugee yet managed to secure not one but two Fulbright scholarships. Now she leads ShEquity, an impact investing fund addressing the gender funding gap in Africa. Discover how she’s shaping th...2023-08-0955 min

Those are just some of the benefits for both businesses and employees Lisa Campbell, VP of Corporate Affairs for Mars Pet Nutrition North America, shares in this episode.

Simplify. Streamline. Succeed. Seems simple enough, but most big organizations do the opposite, bogging teams down with more and more complexity. But as the world itself becomes more complex and changes (like AI) arrive more rapidly, resilience is absolutely key for any organization’s survival – much less success!
Rini Das knows complexity; she worked in healthcare early in her career, which has layers upon layers of processes. Fortunately, she knows simplicity and resilience, too. In this episode, she reveals the ironies and challenges faced by leaders striving to create simpler, more...2023-07-1249 min

Many CEOs and executives insisting on staff returning to the office full time are making decisions based on myths about hybrid work. The truth may surprise them – and you!
Dr. Gleb Tsipursky busts those myths with hard data and direct experience with 23+ organizations. The bottom line: for the majority of “office” workers, hybrid work benefits both wellbeing and productivity. With mental health concerns at an all time high world-wide, that’s a message more employers should be paying attention to.

Contrary to old-school management beliefs, having a work-best-friend boosts productivity. Having an entire work community?

Best of all, the communities you foster at work don’t need to be work-related to have these effects: gamers, Trekkies, and football fanatics in your workplace all benefit.
