Description

Dr Steven MacGregor is an engineer with a PhD in Design Thinking, an Honorary Professor, author and external consultant for McKinsey & Company. Steven has helped improve the workplace health and sustainable leadership of tens of thousands of professionals worldwide at organisations. Steven and I share an experience from Stanford University d.school and the power of Radical Collaboration and multi disciplinary teams to solve the messiest problems currently facing the world.  Steven outlines the role of 'Participation over Power' and for leaders to welcome ideas and even dissent as they ponder and iterate on how to be a force for good in the world. Steven's research found that the term 'wellbeing' was still being considered by some clients as difficult to adopt, measure and translate into the workplace as they felt it was about compromising performance. The pandemic questioned everything that we all took for granted and forced reflection  to our working practices, time management, experience of life, health and wellbeing as we all tried to identify our own patterns. Steven is now a proponent of mindfulness each and every day which simply means taking the time to stop and reflect on what is going on, aware of what gives us energy, what triggers us and creating space in our days to think.  The problems for so many leaders is the constant killing of the spaces in our day in the pursuit of busyness. This episode is packed full of great advice for all who lead and aspire to lead, such as; Stop starting, start finishingStop telling people what to do, give them a problem to solve. Bring your head and your heart to work - the authentic human centred leader. Good manners are the lubricating oil of any organisation (Drucker) If you are most senior person in the room, people look at you six times more - all leaders needs to understand the power of role modelling.Energy is contagious. Perfection is the enemy of the good.The Daily Reset is available on Amazon.
