We often say trust is one person's assessment of another person's competence, sincerity, and reliability. Accountability is a related concept to trust, but it’s also an inside job. Being accountable means being ready to show up for the work that’s in front of us and be a contributor to the fulfillment of the goal of the whole. In this Wisdom for Work, Coaches Ali Schultz and Virginia Bauman illustrate why the key to accountability is healthy channels of communication and cultures of trust. They make important distinctions between leader-led and self-led accountability and share why one method is often more impactful than the other. They discuss how leaders can model accountability to the rest of their team, and share why the highest-performing groups are often the ones that develop a mutual self-accountability muscle.

Adaptive leadership is the notion that a fixed leadership style isn’t a quick fix or one-stop-shop for all your leadership needs. Adaptive leadership asks you to be keen enough to be with who is in front of you, in any situation, and be able to connect relationally and with what matters. That requires a different skillset than a fixed leadership style. In this Operator’s Manual, Ali and Jerry consider why adaptive leadership is so important for your organization’s leaders, why it matters on an interpersonal level, and how it’s tied to an organization's success.

For our first fresh episode of the 2023 season, Jerry sits down with Lisa Sharon Harper, founder of Freedom Road, and author of the superb book, Fortune: How Race Broke My Family and The World and How to Repair it All.

Jerry describes the work he’s done to uncover and understand his own ancestors’ history, and shares how returning to his family’s past allowed him to find belonging and informed the thinking in his forthcoming book, Reunion. The duo proposes a radical notion, that in order to create a world — and workplaces — of love, safety, and belonging for others, we must first as leaders dismantle the myths of our identity and reckon with the origin stories of our ancestors.
