SPECIAL NOTE: This podcast was originally recorded as part of the "Talent Unleashed" podcast, which never launched because Theresa was too optimistic about her time capabilities. We decided to honor the guest(s) and publish it under this brand instead.

Enjoy :)

Big Ideas:

What does it mean to unleash talent?
When learning spreads out across multiple areas of your life
Mix of theoretical and practical aspects of learning - using the learning
Intrinsic motivation and curiosity
How do organizations support curiosity individually, and across an organization?
Learning offered versus learning people want
Just in time learning
Encourage curiosity, but don't provide the infrastructure to harness it
Gig Learning - short term assignments to allow people to learn in different aspects of the organizations
Intersection of harnessing curiosity and unleashing talent
Change the narrative around talent - talk about individuals rather than about resources
Holistic thinking - not about moving people on a chess board
How best delivering to all people in the organization to satisfy their curiosity?
Linking people to their own personal purpose within the organization, not just the organization's purpose
If want to unleash talent, have to be curious about talent
Unleashing talent isn't just about promotions
Squiggly careers
Everybody's 100% looks different
What structures need to be in place to help manager unleash talent on their teams?
When people are promoted to managers, but don't want to be a manager
Understanding that the people you manage are who deliver to the client
Managers don't necessarily have the capacity or resources to manage well
Getting to know the individuals well enough that you know what inspires them, what demotivates them
What makes a poor manager poor? (Micro-management, Magpies, Chasing their own agenda, etc.)
Rise in managers who care about individuals
Poor management isn't address - people quietly quit or change teams
What's your purpose as a manager?
Connection between purpose and unleashing talent
Breaking down silos in the organization, so people can see where their purpose can be realized, if it isn't already
Understand ourselves and our own limitations in order to unleash others talent
