The Inner Edge: Leadership, Self-Mastery, and Reinvention for a New Era

“Our backs are against the wall. What we're witnessing is the failure, the implosion of the current order, which is run by the current order of mind. There's an emergence that's happening. So, the kind of leadership that I'm describing as Integral is required now. Creative leadership is necessary, but not sufficient. We need the next generation of leadership if we're going to see this through.”

Welcome back to my incredible conversation with Bob Anderson, in the final episode of this special two-part series.

Bob Anderson has been a pacesetter and thought leader in the field of Leadership Development for over 30 years. He is the Co-founder, Chairman, and Chief Knowledge Officer of the Leadership Circle. He is also the co-author of two books, and the creator of the Leadership Circle Profile, a 360 leadership assessment used in organizations around the world.

Today, we are diving deeper into consciousness and adult development, the inner world of a leader and how that world manifests outside, how to master leadership, and what’s to come as we face a leadership crisis.


In this episode:

• The correlation between higher Stages of Adult Development and more effective leadership
• The shift from reactive leadership to creative leadership
• “What kind of death do you want?”
• The lifelong practices for mastering leadership
• As you develop further, you have to go deeper to go higher
• The great challenge for leadership in the future and what you can do about it
• And more!

“While many of us describe and see ourselves as objective and non-judgmental, the reality is probably closer to the opposite.”

The assumptions and resulting judgments you make about any given person or situation may be fundamentally flawed and you probably don't realize it. This drives you to take leadership actions that are less impactful than you would like and may lead to significant conflict or communication issues.

Why?

The reasoning process we use to make decisions is fundamentally flawed, and in this episode we’ll discuss why.

In this episode, I am going to discuss ways to become a more objective leader. I’ll offer a framework that highlights the flaws in the way we reason, make assumptions, and draw conclusions. I will also share some ways to minimize our natural tendency to jump to conclusions, assumptions, and judgments that may be more subjective than we think.


In this episode:

• An example of flawed assumptions in action
• The Ladder of Inference: the 7 steps of our reasoning process
• How conflict and communication issues can easily arise from this reasoning process
• Questions to ask yourself to become more objective 
• Why it is important to strive to be more open and curious instead of being right
• And more!

“Becoming more intentional about building rapport and deeper relationships when people are not in front of you takes a bit more thoughtful planning on your part. I'm here to tell you the potential results are worth the effort.”

With the growing acceptance of flexible working outside of the office, leaders have to learn to lead a remote workforce effectively.

As leaders, we traditionally emphasized connecting with teams by walking around or impromptu meetings in the office. These leadership habits work best when you're co-located and in-person. But how can leaders build rapport and connection when all or part of the team is working remotely and they're not all together in the office?

In this episode, I share five practical tips to help you connect and build rapport with your remote team. The fundamentals of connecting with people are essentially the same whether you are in person or not.  With a bit more effort and intention you can become better at building rapport and connection and leading others without being face-to-face.


In this episode:

• #1 Be more deliberate and intentional about making connections
• #2 Schedule and conduct regular check-ins with your team
• #3  Note and acknowledge birthdays, special occasions, and other personal milestones
• #4 Send weekly emails with updates and personal anecdotes
• #5 Pay attention, authentically notice and acknowledge what others bring to the table
• And more!

“Even people at the highest levels of authority and success experience self-doubt, feelings of inadequacy, and feeling like a fraud.”

These feelings can serve as obstacles to grounded self-confidence and continuous learning for many of my executive coaching clients. These feelings and thoughts often show up as flickering internal power outages where insecurity, questioning your own worthiness to be in a role, and fear of looking incompetent, run rampant inside your own head.  I hear about these feelings and ruminating thoughts from powerful, confident people every single day in my one-on-one coaching and advising work. I have noticed that they tend to run most rampant when a leader moves into a new role or starts something new. I too am not exempt– I have experienced these feelings myself. 

Today’s episode is all about this “impostor phenomenon”.

We often hear the term “impostor syndrome” describing these feelings, and we use this terminology like a pop culture word without really understanding it. Today we’ll clarify what it is,  give you the information you need to assess if this is something you’re experiencing and provide you with 3 strategies to help you overcome it.

In this episode:

• What is the impostor phenomenon?
• The ways the impostor phenomenon can show up
• The origin of the Impostor Phenomenon
• Debunking the female impostor myth (HINT: It’s not unique to women)
• 3 strategies to conquer your negative self-talk and feelings of inadequacy
• And more!
