Leadership agility – Michael Spayd leading this session with Lyssa Adkins helping.
Budgets are coming up as a major issue for two coaching volunteers. Wondering if hearing each other influenced.
Book: Leadership Agility by Bill Joiner and Stephen Josephs.
Infants have not developed object permanence. Same with development.
Levels:
Expert – idea that you “know” on this level – low on listening and learning
achiever – seeking more, explores, did not shoot from hip
Catalyst – highly participatory – visionary – listens to employees – open. Seeks out the innovators
2:49 – nice Lou gerstner quote -“culture isn’t one aspect of the game – it *is* the game.”
Alignment – where all elements of organization work in concert ( from Built to Last )
Interesting that people did not respond when asked to return from break 5 early – suspect because we have to work now!
Broke rules came back late : O
4:29. Organizational edges may take years to overcome (oh no! Not weeks?)
Pent up demand for change. Early adopters friendly in beginning; then get late adopter phase and this is more challenging. Hope in that this is the way we do things.
(am resisting temptation to ask the unsuspecting table mates “what’d I miss?”)
Change goes in stair steps. Need to know when to rest and when to push.
Stuff they “can share” may not be there.
Will I be responsible for or a victim of the work world?
Missed a good chunk of this second half ( had to respond to work excuse). But great and helpful session!
