Welcome to another exciting episode of The Friday Habit! Today, we have Shaun Lee joining us to dive into an important topic many organizations struggle with. Ever wondered why pinpointing individual employees or leaders often misses the mark when solving organizational issues? We’ll explore how this common misconception overlooks deeper, systemic problems.

Shaun will share insights on systems thinking, a holistic approach that looks at how different parts of an organization interact. By focusing on the environment in which individuals operate, we can better understand their behaviors, attitudes, and performances.

We’ll also discuss the importance of collective ownership in driving systemic change. Shaun will introduce us to the Six Levers framework, a powerful tool for intentional and systematic organizational change. This framework helps organizations move towards healthier, more productive, and fulfilling ways of working.

Changing an organization isn't a straight path; it’s a journey that requires leaders to critically assess and prioritize the areas that need the most attention. This customized approach ensures effective and lasting interventions. Get ready to revolutionize the way you view organizational dynamics and productivity!

Join us as Jack Skeels dives into the fascinating world of 'unmanagement' and redefines the role of managers in today's organizations. In this engaging conversation, Jack challenges traditional notions of control and instead, champions authority and empowerment. He introduces us to the four pivotal moments every manager should master: why, what, go, and grow. By clearly communicating the 'why' behind tasks, Jack argues that managers can ignite purpose and improve decision-making across their teams. He also underscores the power of giving teams control over their work, which can lead to a more collaborative and fruitful work environment.

Throughout our discussion, Jack shares valuable insights on leveraging individual strengths and fostering autonomy among employees. He stresses the importance of self-assessment for managers and the benefits of soliciting team feedback through surveys to enhance productivity. Wrapping up, Jack advises against micromanagement, advocating instead for a workplace culture that's both positive and empowering. Tune in to discover how you can transform your management style and create a thriving work environment.
