On Growing (Post-Pandemic) Leadership Training
Society has taught you:
-There’s only one leader
-They stand at the front of a room
-They speak and everyone listens
-They wear a suit and look professional
The problem:
-Only ONE or a few people can be leaders
-It puts a sh*t ton of pressure on those few
-It isn’t inclusive at all
-Other people who don’t fall into this narrowly defined definition don’t get to work on themselves/grow/improve (think: I’m not a leader so I don’t have to try as hard)
Society has also taught you this about leadership training:
-Your organization needs to be agile
-Your organization needs to be more productive
-Your organization has to focus on ROI
-Other fancy terms (no one really understands)
The problem:
-You can’t be agile, productive, focus on ROI, and other fancy terms if you don’t have psychological safety in the workplace. PERIOD.
-What no one talks about but is the number 1 thing for high-performing teams? Psychological safety.
-People don’t leave organizations—they leave managers. Why? They don’t feel psychological safe to make mistakes, to fail, and to be human.
What we offer:
1. Growth models that look at the organization as a whole and every single person in it as leaders.
2. Coaching models that go beyond team building to prioritize the individual first (as opposed to the organization first).
3. Concrete tools/strategies that sustain 1 and 2 no matter what kind of VUCA world we are living in.
