So much of the focus on leadership development is on developing the skills of individual leaders. With his background in systems design and systems thinking, Dan Edds kept wondering if the real key to leadership was to take a step back and focus on a system approach to leadership skills.

On this episode of The Workplace Communication Podcast, Dan shares research and insights on a system approach to leadership from his book Leveraging the Genetics of Leadership: Cracking the Code of Sustainable Team Performance.

Leadership tips you won't want to miss:

🎙️ How high-impact organizations approach leadership as a system

🎙️ The perils of not capturing the voice of those lower in the organization

🎙️ The power of training leaders to not solve others' problems

🎙️ Identifying foundational behaviours that support your organization's values

🎙️ The significance of grading leaders on how they model foundational behaviours

For 25 years Dan Edds has been a practicing management consultant, working primarily with state & local government, healthcare, K-12 education, higher education, and non-profits. He is the author of 2 books, the first, Transformation Management, and his most recent book, Leveraging the Genetics of Leadership, Cracking the code of sustainable team performance. His latest book looks at how organizations which consistently perform at very high-levels approach the practice of leadership. The result of this research is the conclusion that leadership can be modeled as an organizational system.

Jess Pettitt is one of a kind. As a former diversity and inclusion specialist by day / NYC stand-up comedy by night, she eventually decided to quit her day job to become a Diversity and Leadership keynote speaker.

Her engaging and humourous approach helps people take a deep look at everything they've ever wanted to know about where leadership and diversity collide but are afraid to ask.

On this episode of the Workplace Communication Podcast, Jess and I look at how to have conversations that matter and reflect on doing the best you can with what you have some of the time.

Leadership tips you won't want to miss:

🎙️ Do the best they can with what they have some of the time

Jess Pettitt, M.Ed., CSP, has always had a foot in two different approaches to her life. Perhaps it is her Texas roots, but she believes to thrive in this world you have to ride two horses at once – one of humility and one of ego. This is why while hosting and performing stand-up in NYC she also worked as a diversity and inclusion specialist as a day job.

She quit her day job after a decade and almost 20 years later still uses humor to deliver actionable content related to everything you ever wanted to know about where leadership and diversity collide but are afraid to ask. Though often referred to as a thought leader, Jess responds that she just makes leaders think.

If it's time for you to embrace who you are, imperfections and all, then this episode is for you!

"How can I make this easy for you? Because I want to."

Powerful words by Melanie Parish about how to support members of the LGBTQ community when you don't quite know how.

You don't need to know everything about LGBTQ to work towards creating a respectful and accepting workplace environment. Rather, you need to be able to sit in uncomfortable conversations, be willing to make mistakes and be open to learning. You need to spend time understanding the challenges and barriers faced and building relationships that enable you to do the deep work - what Melanie refers to as "straight people work".

On this episode of The Workplace Communication Podcast, Melanie opens up about both personal and professional struggles as a queer woman, married to a transgender FTM husband, and shares ideas on fostering inclusivity and acceptance.

Leadership tips you won't want to miss:

🎙️ Understanding the impact of the words you use from the perspective of the identity holder

🎙️ How Melanie and her husband successfully sued the government of Ontario… and the weight of constantly being an advocate

🎙️ Why being overly cautious can lead to more harm than support

🎙️ How seemingly small comments can create an unsafe work environment for LGBTQ

🎙️ Changing our habits of gendered language to create a more inclusive workplace

Melanie Parish is an author, public speaker, host of The Experimental Leader Podcast, founder of Experimental Leader Academy, and Master Certified Coach. An expert in problem-solving, constraints management, operations, strategic hiring, and brand development, Melanie has consulted and coached organizations ranging from a Fortune 50 company to IT start-ups.

Her individual clients include those in FAANG and other top global IT companies. As an author, educator, and creator of The Experimental Leader book, Melanie shows people new ways of thinking about their leadership, informed by her understanding of the fast-paced ride of technology innovation. She is based in Dundas, Ontario and Las Cruces, New Mexico.
