In this "HBR Minute" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover explores the recent HBR video, "The Explainer: What It Takes to Be a Great Leader." See the video and details here: https://youtu.be/LU84BFFqKvI. Video Overview: "“Level 5” leadership is about combining fierce resolve with personal humility. “Level 5” refers to the highest level in a hierarchy of executive capabilities. Leaders at the other four levels in the hierarchy can produce high degrees of success but not enough to elevate companies from mediocrity to sustained excellence. Level 5 leaders blend extreme personal humility with intense professional will. And while Level 5 leadership is not the only requirement for transforming a good company into a great one — other factors include getting the right people on the bus (and the wrong people off the bus) and creating a culture of discipline — research shows it to be essential. Good-to-great transformations don’t happen without Level 5 leaders at the helm. They just don’t."

As part of our "Forbes Feature" series, spotlighting thought-provoking Forbes videos and their key takeaways, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover explores Kathy Caprino's recent Forbes video, "How To Find A Supportive Manager Using Ten Important Questions." See the video and details here: https://youtu.be/O-rMMQUbByM. Video Overview: "Leadership involves embracing new strategies and approaches that allow managers to make the positive impact they long for and become the best supervisors. Managers must overcome their own power gaps, expand their ability to learn from critique and found new ways to be more inclusive in their leadership approach. They must built more psychological safety in their organizations, and reduced the divisiveness and conflict in their ecosystems and work cultures. Sometimes, leaders struggle with their decision-making processes, unable to make a definitive decision on a direction to pursue or action to take. In many cases, their decision processes have failed them in the past—for instance, they’ve taken the wrong career route, or chosen a terrible job, or followed the wrong leader who wreaked havoc on their life. And these faulty decisions make them feel paralyzed today as to what to do next. Or they haven’t ever really trusted themselves fully so they waffle and waver when needing to put their stake in the ground and decide on a course of action. These questions will help you cut through the noise and clutter, clarify where you really stand, and help you make the correct choice for who you are, focusing on the issues you care about, and the outcomes that matter most to you in your life and work. And these questions will help you not only choose the leader you want to follow, but also determine the way you want to show up in the world. As a start, see the following link for 10 questions that will help you identify if a particular leader or manager is truly someone you should be supporting and working for (or voting for): https://www.forbes.com/sites/kathycaprino/2020/08/22/10-questions-to-help-you-know-if-your-leader-or-manager-is-someone-you-should-be-supporting/?sh=68e7d860379d" Ranked in the Top 10 Performance Management Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/performance_management_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 10 Workplace Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/workplace_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 15 HR Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/hr_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 15 Talent Management Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/talent_management_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 15 Personal Development and Self-Improvement Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/personal_development_podcasts/ ; Ranked in the Top 30 Leadership Podcasts: https://blog.feedspot.com/leadership_podcasts/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover shares his recent presentation as part of the UVU Provost COVID-19 Academic Seminar series. See the video here: https://youtu.be/JsXqMpWTOM4. Consider how the nature of work has shifted over the past 50 years. With increased globalization, rapid technological advancement, and a shift in economic composition, the average jobs today look very little like the average jobs 50 years ago. These jobs were largely industrial and agricultural in nature, with a relatively small percentage of service sector jobs as a proportion of the overall economy. While we do not have a crystal ball and cannot predict, with any assurance, what the next 50 years will look like, past trends provide us with clues for the coming decades as we move headlong into the 4th Industrial Revolution. This revolution will be characterized by rapid technological progress where the application of new technologies will cause sudden change. As such, it seems clear that the technology of the future is changing the business of today and tomorrow. Apart from tracing historical trends to make predictions, unexpected global events, such as COVID-19 and their impact on the world of work and the economy, must be carefully considered.

See the video and details here: https://youtu.be/8DEiT-BPMv0. Video Overview: "At 27, Stockton, CA's Michael Tubbs is the city's youngest-ever and first African-American mayor. 'What was the point of going to Stanford if it wasn't for making my community better?'" On November 8, 2016, Michael Tubbs was elected to serve as the mayor of the City of Stockton, California. Upon taking office in January 2017, Tubbs became both Stockton’s youngest mayor and the city’s first African-American mayor. Tubbs is also the youngest mayor in the history of the country representing a city with a population of more than 100,000 residents. In his first year as mayor, Tubbs secured $20 million to launch Stockton Scholars, a place-based scholarship that aims to triple the number of Stockton students entering and graduating from college. Tubbs also brought Advance Peace to Stockton — that data-driven program works to reduce gun violence in communities. And in an innovative public-private partnership supported by a $1 million grant, Tubbs launched the nation’s first ever mayor-led guaranteed income pilot. Before becoming mayor, Tubbs served as Stockton’s District 6 City Councilmember. As a councilmember, Tubbs created the Reinvent South Stockton Coalition, championed the creation of the city’s Office of Violence Prevention and was part of the council that led the city out of bankruptcy as Chair of the Audit and Legislative Committee. Mayor Tubbs earned his bachelor’s degree at Stanford University, and also received a master’s degree in Policy, Organization and Leadership Studies from Stanford’s Graduate School of Education. Tubbs has been a college course instructor for Aspire Public Schools and a Fellow at the Stanford Institute of Design and the Emerson Collective.

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Westover talks with Gina DeLapa about the 7 C's of leadership. See the video here: https://youtu.be/nfgNKbRc52s. Gina DeLapa (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ginadelapa/) is the president of Thriving Cultures LLC and the author of Thriving at Work: Make Your Mark, Lead With Confidence, Stomp Out Drama, Get Home by 6:00. As a university career counselor, Gina DeLapa noticed an unsettling trend: The university was helping graduates get jobs, but not preparing them to succeed once on the job. Gina left the university, became certified as a corporate etiquette consultant from the prestigious Protocol School of Washington in Washington, DC and began helping companies teach professional etiquette to new college hires. She has since expanded her reach to help companies create thriving cultures at every level, from college intern to CEO. When every team member works from a leadership mindset, performance increases, drama decreases, and culture becomes a competitive advantage. As a speaker, trainer and coach, Gina has successfully taught both the mindset of leadership and the skillset. Known for her ability to connect with audiences at every level, Gina has inspired audiences nationwide, from Moss Adams on the West Coast to Deutsche Bank on Wall Street. For the better part of ten years, Gina also served as a sought-after adjunct faculty member in the graduate counseling program at the University of San Diego, where she earned a master's degree in counseling with an emphasis in career development. Gina credits her parents for putting her to work, starting at age ten, in the family pizza business. Growing up in an entrepreneurial family taught Gina how to see company culture through the dual lens of employer and employee.

In this "HBR Minute" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Westover explores Marcus Buckingham' recent HBR video, "The Most Engaged Employee in the World." See the video here and details: https://youtu.be/5gtFPVwtnTk. Overview of video: "Barbara is a composite character based on factors that make us feel engaged, and she has a pet python." Internationally renowned and celebrated, Marcus Buckingham (https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcus-buckingham) is the go-to consultant in his field, a sought-after speaker and a New York Times best-selling author. Challenging accepted and entrenched social theory, Buckingham pioneered a revolutionary concept—that people will be dramatically more effective, successful and fulfilled when they play to their strongest skills rather than attempting to improve their weaknesses. He calls his research-based technique the "strengths revolution," and his work has been proven again and again in boardrooms, seminars and individuals' lives around the world. Hailed as a visionary by corporations such as Toyota, Coca-Cola, Master Foods, Wells Fargo, Microsoft and Disney, Buckingham addresses more than 250,000 people in live audiences around the globe each year. He recently led a workshop sponsored by Oprah Winfrey for 30 talented—but unfulfilled and unhappy—women. Acting on his advice, they were able to make immediate significant and positive changes in their lives. More than 1.7 million people downloaded the three-hour workshop video, and more than 100,000 unique contributors came online to post messages when his workshop and its results were featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show. The extremely successful workshop became the basis for Buckingham's book Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently, to be released in September 2009 by Thomas Nelson. The best-selling author of five books, his landmark titles include First, Break All the Rules (co-authored with Curt Coffman, 1999); Now, Discover Your Strengths (co-authored with Donald O. Clifton, 2001); The One Thing You Need to Know (2005); Go Put Your Strengths to Work (2007) and The Truth About You: Your Secret to Success (2008). There are more than 3.7 million copies of his books in print. Prior to founding TMBC—a company that creates strengths-based management training solutions for organizations worldwide—he used his nearly two decades of experience as a senior researcher at Gallup Organization to break through the preconceptions about achievements and get to the core of what drives success. Buckingham and Gallup developed the StrengthsFinder personality test, which identifies signature themes that help employees quantify their personal strengths in the workplace and at home. Since the StrengthsFinder debuted in 2001, more than 5 million people have accessed this important tool to discover their strengths. Marcus Buckingham has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live, NBC's Today, Good Morning America and The View. He has been profiled in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Fortune, Fast Company and Harvard Business Review. A member of the Secretary of State's Advisory Committee on Leadership and Management, Marcus Buckingham graduated from Cambridge University with a master's degree in social and political science. He lives in Los Angeles. For more information, please visit MarcusBuckingham.com.

As part of our "Forbes Minute" series, spotlighting thought-provoking Forbes videos and their key takeaways, Dr. Westover explores Hal Gregersen's recent Forbes video, "The Four Behaviors of Innovative Leaders." See the full video and all of the details here: https://youtu.be/gmkcGqZIZp8. Drucker’s keen insight about the power of questions has long been a guiding inspiration for Hal Gregersen (https://www.linkedin.com/in/halgregersen/). An innovation and leadership guru, Hal is Executive Director of the MIT Leadership Center and Senior Lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management. While Hal’s expertise expands across all areas of innovative leadership, asking the right questions cuts deeply across all of his work. He challenges organizations and individuals to question the way we think and act to build a better, more creative world. To grasp how leaders find and ask the right questions – ones that disrupt the world – Hal’s new book, “Questions are the Answer: A Breakthrough Approach to Your Most Vexing Problems at Work and In Life” (Harper Collins, coming out later this year), builds on 200+ interviews with renowned business, technology, education, government, social enterprise, and artistic leaders. This question-centric project surfaces crucial insights into how leaders build better questions to unlock game-changing solutions. The first article from the project -“Bursting the CEO Bubble: Why Executives Should Talk Less and Ask More” (March/April 2017 Harvard Business Review) – explores how senior leaders can ask better questions to unlock what they don’t know they don’t know – before it’s too late. The second article from the project – “Better Brainstorming: Focus on Questions, Not Answers, for Breakthrough Insights” (March/April 2018 Harvard Business Review) – outlines how his unique Question Burst™ method can help anyone solve problems faster and better by asking nothing but questions about a vexing challenge for four fast and furious minutes. Hal is also founder of The 4-24 Project, an initiative dedicated to rekindling the provocative power of asking the right questions in adults so they can pass this crucial creativity skill onto the next generation. Putting his insight into practice, he is the creator of a unique executive development experience “Leadership and the Lens: Learning at the Intersection of Innovation and Image-Making.” The course draws on Hal’s two passions – photography and innovation–to teach participants how to ask radically better questions and change their impact as leaders. Ranked consistently as one of the world’s most influential management thinkers by Thinkers50, Hal regularly delivers inspirational keynote speeches, motivational executive seminars and transformational coaching experiences. He also works with a diverse set of companies to help them master the challenges of innovation and change, from Chanel to IBM to the World Economic Forum.
