Episode notes

The chapter explores the evolution of leadership teams in organizations, touching on shifts from efficiency to strategizing and the current need for leaders to be actively involved in both thinking and doing. It delves into challenges faced by leaders, such as micro-management hindering progress, and emphasizes the importance of focusing on real problems over logistical details. The discussion emphasizes the significance of leaders adapting to more responsive approaches and the necessity of clear guidelines and shared purposes within leadership teams for successful organizational transformation.

The world is changing faster than ever. But leadership teams seem a little… stagnant. Sure, there’s plenty of changeover as one CEO is replaced by another, or as new C-suite roles pop up, but the way leadership teams operate is largely unchanged from the 1950s. That model? It’s antithetical to the change that’s needed for the rest of an organization to become more adaptable and resilient.

In this episode, Rodney Evans and Sam Spurlin explore the ways in which leadership teams are holding their organizations back from the future. They’ll dig into how leaders can shift from defense to offense, set the right expectations for their teams, and recognize what their “real work” actually is.
