Relationships are built on Trust. Possibly every story in history has an element of Trust, be it with fallen monarchs, birth of religions, rise of organisations, or even examples from the animal kingdom. This has been an area of research for many years and as we flourish in the age of information, Trust becomes one of the most essential foundations on which organisations and teams get built. But how do we build trust? Where do we begin? Who takes the first step? And how do we know when it's achieved?

To discuss this in more detail, I invited a good friend of mine Sarika Kharbanda; she's a coach who specialises in Lean Change Management, the first Management 3.0 trainer in India, and the host of the Perspectives of Change podcast. Needless to say, she's probably one of the best I know who has helped teams with their quote / unquote trust issues so it only seemed fair that I pick her brains on this episode for some anecdotes. So welcome everyone, I'm your host Vishal Prasad and this is EnterpriseJoy, educating organisations to be awesome!

Optimism, it's one of those unspoken qualities that differentiates a leader from the crowd. Where other's see failure, optimists see opportunity. Where others see chaos, optimists see self organisation. And where others see end, optimists see new beginnings. I came face to face with one such leader in this podcast, Jeff Stuit, the founder of Improvement School. He recently published his book "An Agilist in India", which he wrote while being stuck in a hotel room, 7000 miles away from his home, in-between a nationwide lockdown down & a hurricane; and his stories had me gripped. I consider myself an optimist but Jeff showcases extreme optimism and this talk with him was a profound experience for me. We discussed everything from spirituality to music and I was stunned to how he related every experience as a learning that one could take-away as a human being. This episode is not just an education in being an optimist, it's a showcase of an optimistic leader and the difference it can make in an organisation.

I've been a fan of the Twitter handle @MeetingBoy since many years now and one of its tweets that I've remembered forever goes something like this - If someone falls asleep during your PowerPoint presentation, you are at least partially to blame. That is true with many teams where individuals mostly engage using conventional structures like presentations and managed discussions. The problem with most of these is that the decision making is usually owned by one person while utilising a centralised mechanism to control the content. That's where Liberating Structures are different and make it possible to include everybody in the decision making process regardless of the group size and this happens with distributed control of content. To discuss this in more detail, I invited a good friend of mine Rucha Kapare who's been an advocate of Liberating Structures. She's the Head of Business Analysis practice at Springer, she utilises Liberating Structures on her job more than one would expect, and has presented it at numerous conferences. So welcome everyone as we unleash creativity, I'm your host Vishal Prasad and this is EnterpriseJoy, educating organisations to be awesome!
