Guest: Mark Palmer

According to a McKinsey study in 2018 focusing on the future of work: “technologies will transform the nature of work and the workplace itself. Machines will be able to carry out more of the tasks done by humans, complement the work that humans do, and even perform some tasks that go beyond what humans can do. As a result, some occupations will decline, others will grow, and many more will change. While we believe there will be enough work to go around (barring extreme scenarios), society will need to grapple with significant workforce transitions and dislocation. Workers will need to acquire new skills and adapt to the increasingly capable machines alongside them in the workplace. They may have to move from declining occupations to growing and, in some cases, new occupations.” The interview explores how the Position Success Indicator assessment identifies “job DNA” based on occupational traits that help people determine their best role fit to support workforce transitions.

Guests: Michael Sayre & Dr. Dale Meyerrose

Mike Sayre and Dr. Dale Meyerrose talk about their transformation success – it sounds as if they created a plan, executed on the plan and declared victory. In working with large complex change, this is rarely true. Things happen that derail the project such as acquisitions, divestitures, and market changes. The test of a successful leader is how he or she responds to the changes that happen and pivots to revise the strategy for success and implements these changes.

Guest: Gary Patterson

Gary has been writing and presenting on board room black holes and taboos based on his research with National Association of Directors (NACD) and the Conference Board of Canada. During this show, we will talk about Gary’s top 5 issues and why executives and board members need to be thinking about these high impact topics. His goal is to help leaders find blind spots before they blind side you. This discussion focuses on the top five black holes and taboos that emerged during his research: 1. Where do you make money? 2. Change – the world is changing – how quickly should your organization change? 3. Overly optimistic financial and procedures and processes. 4. Opportunity cost – what made sense once upon a time may not make sense now. 5. Face the facts – what do you measure and how much is in the rear view mirror vs. what is anticipatory? This interview is designed to help you as a leader anticipate and identify your blind spots and taboos.

Guest: Gary Weber

Gary Weber and Maureen Metcalf talk about leader ego development and development beyond ego through and how brain science impacts this development. When we talk about Level 5 Leadership from Good to Great – many people think of humble and tenacious. Building true humility is more than acting like you are humble, it is transcending traditional ego structure, a process that is foundational to developing into a “level 5 leader”. This development comes in part from cultivating an ability to rewire our brains. Gary will share his expertise on the following:  1. When we talk about changing – you have mentioned some things change quickly and others quite slowly and the rate is linked to our survival. Explain how this relates to leader development. 2. Why would anyone ever want to have a less ego-centered process? If the ego wasn’t necessary, we wouldn’t have one. Look how powerful our species has become…we dominate the planet. Why change?  3. What is this process and can I do it?

Guest: Christopher Cooke, Sheila Cooke, Carla Morelli & James Svagerko

As leaders one of the foundations for effective performance is self-knowledge and self-management. We recommend assessment tools to help us make sense of what we are learning and also to get feedback from others to expose possible blind spots. During this series, we will share information about the tool and give you the opportunity to participate by taking your own assessment and hearing how others work with it. Part one of the series introduces the participants and the LeaderView tool. Christopher and Sheila are the coaches and also creators of the LeaderView and LeaderView 360 tools. They will discuss: 1. What is personal freedom and flow? 2. What is the business case for a leader to invest time and money in this process? 3. Meet the participants and learn about their leadership development goals (we will walk through the process with Jim Svagerko and Carla Morelli as they get engage in the assessment and coaching process).

As leaders one of the foundations for effective performance is self-knowledge and self-management. We recommend assessment tools to help us make sense of what we are learning and also to get feedback from others to expose possible blind spots. This segment is designed to offer an example to help leaders and coaches understand their personal feedback and how they would use this data to develop themselves and their clients. During the show, Christopher and Sheila work with the coaches, Carla and Jim to help them understand their data from the LeaderView self-assessment. Additionally, they: • Giving instructions about peer assessments: A person with whom you would like to have a better relationship. A person with whom you have a good relationship. • Homework: invite two peers to complete the LeaderView 360 survey. • Bonus: have a question you would like answered in Episode 3? Email your question by July 24th to: info@5deep.net

Guest: Jim Ritchie Dunham

For people working in groups, we have often seen the group perform to the level of the lowest common denominator. This conversation provides a high-level framework for leaders to refine their approach to increasing team effectiveness by leveraging the concept of “room to roam.” Room to roam looks at five key variables we believe are the foundation when looking at leadership successful performance in groups. The five perspectives are: 1. Leadership maturity 2. State development 3. Years of experience 4. Mindfulness 5. Ability to identify and “co-host” or build on the perspectives in the room This conversation explores the five perspectives in greater detail as well as the idea of “co-hosting” as a tool to change the way the group works. Another critical element of group functioning is the agreements they have with one another on how they operate.

Guest: Dr. Bob Boggs

As part of the thought leader series, Dr. Boggs shares information from his book “Honored Feathers of Wisdom: Attributes For Personal and Organizational Growth”. Dr. Boggs draws from the Native American heritage to identify these traits. This book is a great reminder of the nuanced traits of leaders. Bob focuses on how being a wise person results in better leadership. Bob and Maureen discuss the following topics among many others: 1. Why do you draw from Indian Chiefs as a foundation for your book? 2. What is the pathway to wisdom? 3. Why do we care about wisdom for leaders – isn’t success measured just by results? 4. Leaders need to be intellectually “smart” but why do they need to balance their intellect with emotion? 5. You talked about Chiefs it looks like they had influence but not command and control power – what was their role? 6. How can we pull from what Chiefs did long ago and apply it to today?
