Episode #64 : Leadership Isn't a Checkbox

creating a learning experience without training/teaching people

training gives people a chance to not take responsibility - they are following the training

people are happy after a training, but change long term is limited

attempt to get manager and HR involved in training, but it didn't work

clients/customers want training, but don't take the time to reflect on what they need

time is a barrier to implementation of oversight of training

Peter Principle -- people rise to the level of their competence

great individual contributors don't always make great leaders

leadership is nuanced and doesn't follow a checklist

training doesn't personalize the learning to where/who they are

provide the spark, get people more emotionally involved in the change

connecting the theory, to the emotions, to create the behavior change

leadership is the state of being a leader, not a skill

bringing the manager in was an attempt to reinforce the training

making leadership experiences voluntary versus obligatory

internally motivated learning is more impactful

letting go of agendas and objectives -- some structure, but give space for what arises from the participants

leadership can't be taught, but it can be developed

humans and leadership are too complex to be taught

leadership has an emotional component

getting stuck in what you're supposed to do, rather than reading the "room" and adapting to the situation in front of you

letting go of the idea of needing "tools" as a leader

internal motivation of being a leader
