The Remarkable Leadership Podcast

A lot is going on out there. How can we pay better attention in a distracted world? Christian Madsbjerg joins Kevin to discuss the importance of observation and attention in leadership. Madsbjerg explains that observation is the practice of carefully and empirically studying humans to understand their experiences and behaviors. He emphasizes the need for leaders to set aside their opinions and preconceived notions to just describe what they see. Madsbjerg also introduces the concept of hyper-reflection, which involves observing how others observe and think. He encourages leaders to make time for observation and reflection, as these practices can lead to a deeper understanding of customers, teams, and social dynamics. Meet Christian Name: Christian Madsbjerg His Story: Christian Madsbjerg is the author of several books, including Look: How to Pay Attention in a Distracted World, Sensemaking: The Power of the Humanities in the Age of the Algorithm, and The Moment of Clarity (co-authored with Mikkel Rasmussen), which have been translated into 15 languages. He is also an entrepreneur and academic who focuses on the practical and commercial application of the Human Sciences. He is the co-founder of the global consulting firm Red Associates. He also held the Professor of Applied Humanities position at The New School in New York City, where he centered his teaching on 20th-century continental philosophy.

Successful organizations build workplaces that work for everyone and that value everyone. Dr. Michelle King joins Kevin to discuss the how of work. These are the informal systems and unwritten rules that impact success and are changing as workplaces become more diverse. She highlights the four informal systems, which include networks, information sharing, development, and advancement.

These include, turn into the power, listen without labels, choose identity over purpose, and challenge everything.

One hundred years of research tells us that a bump in salary does not impact employee engagement. In fact, MIT recently published findings showing that how appreciated employees feel has three times more influence on their decision to stay or leave a job than compensation. Not only does this reduce the cost of turnover, but companies that pay attention to their human capital outperform others. Dr. Paul White joins Kevin to discuss the 5 Languages of Appreciation in the workplace. These include Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Tangible Gifts, and Physical Touch. The implementation of appreciation isn't a top-down process. It starts with education, creating a shared language among team members, and then grows naturally. It's about connecting people and recognizing them for who they are, not just their work.

Fear, uncertainty, and doubts (FUD). We have all experienced these to some extent; we are only human. Brendan P. Keegan joins Kevin to discuss how these impact behavior and leadership. He tells us that humans are born fearless, but external factors and experiences lead to the development of fears over time. Leaders may inadvertently instill fear into their teams, and the language we use is important. For example, start with a question, not a statement. Brendan suggests we become a fearless leader who embraces uncertainty and is willing to take risks. When we fail, we should foster a culture of open communication and learn from our mistakes.

Work-life balance. Employee engagement. Bring your best, most authentic selves to work. Dan Pontefract believes these are myths. He joins Kevin to redefine the relationship between work and life. Employees possess one of four work-life personas (blooming, budding, stunted, or renewal) and it's a leader's responsibility to understand which persona their team members possess. He also highlights the six work factors and six life factors that leaders should consider creating a supportive environment for their team members.

A good leader isn't afraid of questions. Bob Tiede joins Kevin to discuss the art of questioning, this includes the importance of asking open-ended questions, not putting people in a corner, giving them the time to respond, and the opportunity to say yes. He believes that leaders often hesitate to ask questions because they feel the need to project an image of having all the answers. However, he emphasizes that asking questions not only helps leaders gain valuable insights but also empowers their team members to contribute their ideas and perspectives. Key Takeaways: Leaders often hesitate to ask questions because they feel the need to have all the answers. Asking open-ended questions can lead to more meaningful conversations and better insights. Good questions give information, but better questions lead to deeper understanding. The art of questioning involves asking the question and then giving the person time to answer. Creating a question culture involves practices like question storming and asking for multiple perspectives. Listen For... 00:00:00 Introduction to the podcast and guest, Bob Tiede 00:09:39 What keeps leaders from asking questions 00:11:32 Giving answers denies space for others to contribute. 00:13:06 Leaders who project having all the answers come across as unsure. 00:13:47 Asking questions as a leader is more important now. 00:22:09 The art of questioning includes giving people time to answer. 00:25:18 The mindset of a learner is important when questioning. 00:27:32 Creating a question culture through question storming. 00:28:53 Culture and generating questions to solve issues. 00:29:25 Bob's favorite question: "What do you think?" 00:30:04 The power of asking "What else?" multiple times. 00:37:34 Conclusion and invitation to join next week's episode.

Listening is important for our interactions and our ongoing relationships. Heather R. Younger joins Kevin to talk about active listening, which is more than nodding your head and repeating what someone says. Active listening uses your senses to recognize what is unsaid. Active listening is about engaging with the other person, showing interest, and understanding their emotional state. Active listening is about taking the time to research, reflect, and analyze the feedback or request received. Active listening is acting, even if the action is a compromise or a no. Lastly, active listening is consistently closing the loop to show that their voice is valued and their feedback matters.

Gender bias and inequality in the workplace is not a new problem. Despite its longstanding presence, this problem continues to linger, impacting the professional growth and opportunities of women worldwide.
