TCZ Episode #120: Klaus Leopold: Reinventing Agile: Why High-Performing Teams Isn’t The Answer Before, during and for sure post the immediate crisis of #Covid-19, organisations today are having to reinvent themselves faster than ever before. As a behaviour change expert working with senior teams, I tend to focus on the human system itself rather than operational systems and processes. Clearly both relationships and tasks need to be reimagined for companies to adapt and thrive. Unpicking the spaghetti junction of a business’s operational system is not easily done, but Dr Klaus Leopold, CEO of Flight Levels Academy and Managing Partner of Leanability seems to have the knack for it. For those in the agile world, Klaus is a bit of a legend and it is his third book, Rethinking Agile that prompted me to invite him onto the Team Coaching Zone podcast to ask about how he goes about whole-systems change. Here's some of what Klaus and I cover: How he discovered and defines flight levels Why agile teams have nothing to

Mike's ideas are based on 20 years working as a highly sought-after speaker and consultant to clients such as, Google, Wells Fargo, Microsoft, Genentech, eBay, Harvard University, and LinkedIn. We begin with Mike's own story as a professional sportsman turned business consultant in the San Francisco Bay area. We talk about the sense of urgency which compelled him to write the book, and then explore the four pillars that his research has led him to believe are essential for teams to thrive in today's world. These are: Psychological safety, drawing on the work of Amy Edmondson and others, what it takes to create an environment safe for risk-taking, disagreement, failure, boldness and authenticity. Inclusion and belonging, why teams need

TCZ Episode #117: Dr. Paul White: How to Keep Teams Feeling Valued in a Remote Workplace In an agile and less hierarchical world, teams are ever more reliant on motivating each other over and above relying on their team leader. Appreciation is one of the fastest ways to make someone feel valued but we don't all speak the same language. Especially at a time when most are working remotely and having to dig deep to build team resilience. My guest today really does have the data to help teams and organizations to get this right.

TCZ Podcast Episode #116: Kathryn McCusker: How To Stay Connected in The Face of Disruption Have you had moments during lockdown of getting trapped in your head and wanting to rationalise what's going on rather than be in your heart? I certainly have. Yet to coach effectively and to be a transformational presence for others, we know we must stay connected to our feelings. Only when we have processed our feelings can we find our creative response. Creativity is what many of the organisational leaders I've been coaching over the past couple of weeks are looking for from themselves and their people as they move beyond a crisis response to reimagining the future of work. My guest this week on The Team Coaching Zone podcast is not a coach. Kathryn McCusker is a kundalini yoga teacher, professional opera singer and author. I've been going to Kathryn's classes for awhile now and each time I leave the studio feeling deeply connected to myself and the world. In this episode Kathryn shares practical techniques which yo
