Episode 130 is with Mel Kettle, author of "The Social Association" and "Fully Connected'. TALKING POINTS Not only do you give feedback down, you give it across and you give it up as well.

I encourage leaders to create a culture of conversation within their organization so that they...

"Your psychological immune system is trying to keep you safe; is looking and scanning for threats, and when it finds a threat, it doesn't mobilize T-cells; it doesn't mobilize biology, it mobilizes your action. Let's say, my parents fought a lot; it got intense sometimes. As a kid I realized conflict is bad, and I just don't want to do conflict.  ''If conflict happens, I can crack a joke. I can roll over, I can be submissive, I can run away. Now I'm starting to build this paradigm similar to...

Stephan Wiedner from Vancouver, Canada, is a certified Psychological Safety coach. Sixteen years ago Stephan founded Noomii.com, now...

In Episode 109, guest John Prentice, warns, "If you don't have a basic framework to lead people through change, you're in trouble. If you don't have a framework that allows you to generate ideas through your teams and get engagement, you're in trouble. And if you don't know, as a people leader, how to handle an idea that's come to you from one of your team members and you mishandle that, and the business misses a great opportunity, that's almost sackable. "These are the new skills of a...
