Leading Beyond Any Title

One of the most detrimental actions a leader can take is to overlook or support poor performance. Doing so not only undermines the organization but also reflects poorly on the leader’s own performance. Poor performance drags down every aspect of the business and fails to benefit the individual as well.  

In this episode, Jennie and Craig shift their usual focus from high performance to addressing poor performance. What defines poor performance? How can it be managed effectively? And what happens when it spreads across all levels of the organization?  

Join us for an engaging conversation where you’ll explore actionable strategies to prevent and combat underperformance in your team. Expect to leave with one big idea, two practical strategies, and three essential questions to kickstart your Friday. Don’t miss this critical discussion—an opportunity to strengthen your leadership approach and safeguard your organization from the pitfalls of underperformance.

In today’s fast-paced work environment, expecting people to simply work harder isn’t prioritizing—it’s counterproductive. The “more is more” mindset can erode organizational effectiveness, diminish work quality, and negatively impact employee well-being. In a world where busyness is often celebrated, it's time to challenge the norm of juggling multiple "priorities." True prioritization means focusing on one thing at a time, with purpose and clarity.  

Join Jennie and Craig in this conversation where you’ll learn how to use prioritization as a tool for mastery. Discover practical ways to ensure your team's working methods align with your strategic goals and gain the confidence to say no when necessary. Packed with actionable strategies, this session is perfect for current and aspiring leaders alike.

When things are going well, leadership can seem easy, and focusing on developing leadership skills can also seem like a nice thing to do.  

However, leading when times are tough… when a team is not performing as expected – the number isn’t being hit, the results are being generated, collaboration and communication are failing… can be a different thing. Leadership development during these times can seem like a luxury one cannot afford to take time for.  

Leading a struggling team is never fun, but paying attention to leadership basics – remain positive, take care of yourself first, check the reality of the situation, diagnose what the cause is, and enrolling your team in determining next steps – are all critically important leadership skills that this episode covers.

The conversations you have with your leader, peers, and your team determine the quality of your leadership. Are you having the right conversations today? 
 
Critical Thinking is about far more than spreadsheets and data. As a skill it improves our leadership of people, change, difficult decisions and execution of every project. It shows up quietly in every meeting, we hope! And if Critical thinking is lacking both leaders and their teams can fall prey to bias and costly shortcuts. Jennie and Craig will be joined by Evan Weselake to discuss the fundamental parts of Critical Thinking. Where it needs to show up more and some simple ways you can foster more Critical Thinking for your whole team!

Amidst the rapidly changing landscape, trust in leadership emerges as the linchpin for organizational success. As teams and companies grapple with unprecedented shifts, the traditional focus on command and control must evolve. The prevalent belief systems centered on power dynamics and rigid expectations require a paradigm shift. Cultivating a trust-centric approach is imperative, emphasizing collaboration, creativity, and an inclusive environment that encourages the active participation of every team member.  

Craig and Jennie are delighted to welcome Ila Edgar to the conversation. Ila is one of our trusted facilitators at SAIT, and the cohost of the Trust on Purpose podcast. Join them and explore the transformative benefits of fostering trust. You’ll understand why trust is an emotion, a competency and a part of our personal dialogue and what leadership mindsets are essential for effective action in the face of any challenge.
