Episode notes

The chapter explores the necessity for individuals in organizations to operate at a level commensurate with their role, emphasizing the need for everyone to level up to fulfill their responsibilities effectively. It challenges the prevalent notion of work done by leaders and stresses the significance of strategic thinking, organizational design, and creating broader impact for the organization.

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.
