Leaders lead humans and people working together, not robots working together. Denise Cooper and I explore this topic in a very frank conversation. Weโve gone off course with leadership when we think that multi-tasking and motivating all employees in the exact same way is going to work in the 21st century.
Humans canโt multi-task; hell weโre not even supposed to have multiple priorities. (โPriorityโ was created in 1400 and โprioritiesโ was created in the 1900s.) And each individual needs something slightly different to do their best work. But we still see leaders treating their folks like robots: same expectations, same hours, same communication, same motivations, multi-task everyday all day, and keep multiple plates spinning.
The most successful organizations of the future will choose their priority: what to focus on first. Listen in to learn more.
In this episode we mention a new kind of management framework that might be helpful for you to explore: Holacracy.
