Curious Leadership with Dominic Monkhouse E244 | Simplifying How We Work To Drive Innovation And Growth with Lisa Bodell
How would you define meaningful work? And your team? If you're struggling to find the right words, our guest on The Melting Pot this week has various ideas to help you. How can you expect your team to do meaningful work if you can't define it? Here's a hint: it might not be about what you need to do, but what you should stop doing.
This week we learned from Lisa Bodell. Lisa is a best-selling author and, CEO and founder of FutureThink, a business focused on helping companies simplify how they work to make space for driving growth and innovation. This has been Lisa's passion for over twenty years, and she is all about taking a provocative approach to challenge our assumptions every day.
In this episode, Lisa and Dominic talk about how to get people to do more of the right things, building culture –specifically, how to cut the crap and stop stupid rules. She also asks what makes meaningful work, which she often finds leaders can't articulate clearly. Lisa shares a few of the 'killing' exercises she uses with leaders to help them start investing their time and drive innovation.
