In this episode, Leslie Ferry and Pamela Coleman-Davis discuss the 2nd of 5 effective leadership attributes:  Activates System 2 Critical Thinking for Problem-Solving.

In this year-end podcast series,  Pamela Coleman-Davis, a Certified Career Coach and The Modern Leadership Design program developer, joins Leslie Ferry. And they explore 5 attributes of effective leadership.

In this first episode, they start by defining the broader definition of leadership, which encompasses those who want to take ownership of their career, so a self-leader, to those who wish to demonstrate leadership before getting the title. 

They then move into the first attribute – Influences Others to Gain Cooperation.

For each attribute, Pam explains

• What each means
• Why it is important
• Actions to take to strengthen them
• And knowing if you are doing it correctly

 The other attributes will follow in separate episodes and include:

• Activates System 2 Critical Thinking for Problem-Solving
• Over-Communicates to Avoid Ambiguity
• Proactively Creates Culture
• Empowers Other Through Continuous Learning

This episode series is the first of several year-end Bright & Wize weekly series. Here, Brize CEO & Bright & Wize host Leslie Ferry dives into performance measurement in the workplace. The reason she wanted to explore this topic is because once stated and understood, the performance measurement seems logical; some might even think, duh. But, the funny thing is they appear more subconscious and are not often explicitly stated in these ways, so she thought she’d explicitly say them.

This first episode looks at the transition from academia, where knowing the answer was the measure of good performance, into the workplace, where the measure of our performance differs.

This Bright & Wize episode discusses how job performance measurements change when individuals start to manage others, whether as a team lead or direct report manager.

The final topic of the Career Transitions and Performance Measurement series is leading others. It starts with two questions. Are you a manager or leader? How do you know? Listen to find out how to recognize your movement into the next career stage.

In this thought-provoking episode, we explore how the ever-evolving work landscape and our individual career journeys shape the essential skills needed for thriving in today's careers.

Leslie Ferry, the host and Brize CEO, kicks things off by delving into how technology’s relentless progress reshapes the essence of work. It is no longer just about cognitive skills; it’s about elevating our cognitive abilities, fostering collaboration, and cultivating a positive mindset.

She then sheds light on the job performance measurements shift as we progress through our careers. 

These two factors have created the career profile she and her team at Brize have aptly coined “I3” (I cubed) – a career profile that blends Subject, Emotional, and Social Intelligence.

Listen to understand how these three pillars of intelligence converge to shape your path to success in the modern career landscape.

One of the most exciting aspects of work today is that we get to share our ideas for growth or solutions to problems. Work today is more ideation and less repetitive efforts. It is exciting to have the opportunity to positively impact our organization beyond our individual roles.

 To do that, we need to influence others and persuade them to give our ideas a try. How do you do that?

Many of us avoid thinking about our actions or approaches to work for various reasons. In this Bright & Wize podcast episode, Leslie Ferry delves into why we don't do it. But more importantly, she discusses the benefits of self-reflection, how to overcome the obstacles that prevent us from doing it, and how to get started.
