Marcus Dimbleby and Jose Corella joined me from Cyprus and Dallas. Right before we started recording, we talked about organizations that outsource their thinking. That became the episode.
The answers are inside
Marcus argues that most of the answers already sit inside the organization. Bringing in outside thinkers can leave a company without the capability it needs. Jose describes how they build that capability with clients through training and development.
Red teaming
Red teaming gives a team a structured way to challenge its own strategy. Marcus and Jose share examples of how it can change corporate strategy by surfacing different perspectives. It needs a culture where people can challenge a plan openly and still be accountable. Expert guidance helps teams use the tools well.
The chief of staff
We spend time on the chief of staff as a driver of change. We also look at agile transformations and how misapplied agile principles cause problems. Mental health in leadership comes up, along with lessons from high-reliability fields.
Relationships and empowerment hold it together. With them, new leaders emerge and people stay engaged.
What thinking has your organization handed to outsiders that it should own?
