Description
How confident are you that every member of your team feels empowered and safe enough to contribute? That they are fully engaged? That their ideas are encouraged to emerge and germinate? That their experience day to day matches how they want to feel?  In this episode of the podcast, Sonali Kumarakulasinghe, People and Culture Consultant at SK Consulting outlines TWO PRACTICAL APPROACHES that enable people to become more aware of themselves and their colleagues, to engage with meaningful change, and to strengthen team relationships.  We unpick how LIBERATING STRUCTURES can be used to shape everyday interactions to make organisations more successful by being able to follow ten leadership principles: Include and Unleash EveryonePractice Deep Respect for People and Local SolutionsBuild Trust As You GoLearn by Failing ForwardPractice Self-Discovery Within a GroupAmplify Freedom AND ResponsibilityEmphasize Possibilities: Believe Before You SeeInvite Creative Destruction To Enable Innovation ⬅️ I LOVE THIS ONE! Engage In Seriously-Playful CuriosityNever Start Without Clear Purpose Then we identify the difference that the EMOTIONAL CULTURE DECK makes to companies being clear about how their employees want to feel, how they don't want to feel, and what that means in practice.  Emotion drives behaviour. If we choose to ignore the dominant driver, we simply become robotic, engaging at a cognitive level. The result = less than optimum performance.  It's time to unleash and celebrate the level of complexity under the surface that really shapes workplace culture.  Find out how to transform your practice to gain the most from your amazing people with the resources and practical advice that Sonali shares.

Man up. Does that phrase make you squirm or is it acceptable to you?  We've all been brought up with a set of beliefs and thoughts about how we should behave. But that puts pressure on people to show up in a certain way. It may no longer be considered acceptable or helpful. And it may mean we're...
