Episode 89: Hiba Khaled & Leadership on the Line: Staying Alive Through the Dangers of Leading by Ronald A. Heifetz & Martin Linsky

ABOUT HIBA

Dr. Hiba Khaled is a co-founder of Embers, a consulting and coaching firm helping individuals and organizations

recover from burnout to achieve healthy high performance. With a background in medicine and leadership training at Harvard under the mentorship of Professors Ron Heifetz and Tim O'Brien, she has dedicated her career to helping individuals and organizations achieve success from a place of health. A survivor of burnout herself, Hiba is on a mission to balance performance with well-being. When she's not busy transforming lives, you can find her out in nature, drinking tea, or diving into a good book.

CONVERSATION HIGHLIGHTS

  • What work-life balance really is.
  • What "I'm fully there" means.
  • The power of your Flow state.
  • "What is the ecosystem within you first before you can think about the ecosystem outside of you?"
  • How stress can manifest in us.
  • "Be of service, be of service, be of service."
  • A story showing..."You can make a small difference...you don't have to make a huge change."
  • An example of how being destabilized can be good for you.
  • Doing what you need to do, despite it feeling like a loss to or disappointment by others.
  • Why Hiba doesn't subscribe to using the word "leader."
  • What it means to "exercise leadership."
  • The difference between a technical challenge and an adaptive challenge.
  • Why leadership means asking someone (or a
    • group) to sustain losses.
  • What it means to "manage your hungers."
  • Renegotiating loyalties to ancestors to work toward solutions today.

    • The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Hiba is, How can we adapt to the outside world and avoid its usual repercussions by instead first doing the deep work internally within ourselves?
