S5. Ep.1 - What to do when everyone in the organization is running in different directions

SUBSCRIBE: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts

Welcome to the first episode of Season Five of the Ripple Leader Podcast. In this episode, we remind leaders how normal it is for people to be moving in opposite directions. As a leader, you have a clear picture of where the organization and people go, yet no one seems inspired or interested. Tired of pushing sand up a rope? The good news is in this tension is an opportunity for you and your team to figure out what you really want to make happen, together. 

TAKEAWAYS!

  • Curiosity can hold your judgment at bay until you have the whole picture

  • Bonus: being curious about intent first can open up possibilities you didn't know existed, and allow people to self-correct if their actions were reflexive/unhelpful

  • People own/support what they help create

  • Ideal pictures of the future have inherent tensions in them - polarity management and optimization vs maximization
