017: The Five Most Effective Leadership Practices Part 3

In this episode, we cover Part 3 of our Leadership Series, where we focus on creating a culture of innovation. It’s been a tough year for everyone. And we can all feel sorry for ourselves and make as many excuses as we can. But if we take ownership and leadership and we commit to being flexible within these circumstances, imagine how strong we will be when things are going well.  As a leader, it’s essential you’re able to create a culture of innovation within your organization. We can't control what happens to us, but we can control how we respond. So we need to look at things through a new lens this time and approach those challenges with a growth mindset.  In this episode, you will hear: Technical challenge vs. adaptive challenge Modeling adaptability Having the right amount of stress and tension The capacity bubble, the flow zone, and the failure zone What is mental agility? “Pivot” as 2020’s Word of the Year Subscribe and Review Share your thoughts and ideas with us and email me at stephen@experienceleadership.com.
