How can developing a model for leading change impact your leadership? I'm thrilled to share with you some golden nuggets from the latest episode of the Build a Vibrant Culture podcast. I had the pleasure of chatting with the incredible Marsha Acker, a mastermind in executive coaching, leadership transformation, and the art of facilitating conversations that matter. 🌟 Leading Change with Clarity and Confidence We dove deep into the essence of leadership and the pivotal role of developing your personal model for leading change. In a world where change is the only constant, understanding how to navigate and lead through these shifts is more crucial than ever. Marsha's insights, drawn from her extensive experience and her book, Build Your Model for Leading Change: A Guided Workbook to Catalyze Clarity and Confidence in Leading Yourself and Others, are like a compass guiding us through the ever-evolving landscape of leadership. 📘 Must-Read for Leaders Marsha's book, Build Your Model for Leading Change: A Guided Workbook to Catalyze Clarity and Confidence in Leading Yourself and Others, is not just any book—it's an interactive journey filled with visuals and exercises designed to help you craft your unique approach to leadership change. It's a vibrant addition to your leadership toolkit, and I can't recommend it enough! 🗣️ The Power of Conversations One of the most fascinating discussions we had was about structural dynamics—the idea that our conversations have a hidden structure influencing their outcomes. By understanding this structure, we can steer our dialogues towards more productive and meaningful exchanges. 🧒 Childhood Stories and Leadership We all carry stories from our past that shape who we are today. Marsha and I explored how these narratives can impact our behavior as leaders and the importance of acknowledging and working through them to foster growth. 🔄 The Interconnected Models of Leadership Leadership isn't one-dimensional; it's a blend of behavior, growth, and values. Finding harmony among these aspects is key to thriving as a leader and driving positive change within your organization. 🔍 Self-Awareness and Journaling Self-reflection is a powerful tool for personal development. We talked about the role of journaling in enhancing self-awareness and how it can bolster your confidence as a leader. 🤝 Creating Alignment in Teams Marsha shared a real-life story of a leadership team that achieved remarkable results by aligning their leadership models. It's a testament to the power of clear communication and shared understanding. I'm beyond excited for you to listen to this episode and join us on this journey of discovery and transformation. Your feedback means the world to me, so don't hesitate to leave a comment, like the podcast, and share it with your circle of vibrant leaders. Remember, building a vibrant culture is an ongoing adventure, and I can't wait to continue this journey with you. Until next time, keep leading vibrantly!
