"Disrupted, uncertain, disordered—they’re all words we can use to describe what it sometimes feels like to operate—and lead—an organization, department, or team in this new technology-fueled world we’re all living in. "The question we often ask ourselves, and the question we’re all asking each other, is how we might navigate these changes, how we might make good decisions when so much is unknown." Here's the latest on Thrive Insights. https://lnkd.in/gWRvWCPg

Creativity feels like an inexplicable miracle when it arrives. We may never be able to isolate all the variables that generate it. But there are ways to reliably create the conditions to make creativity a more predictable occurrence. You can create the right conditions to be creative following these 6 principles: 1.  Frame the problem.  2.  Obey your curiosity. 3.  Do things that don't interest you. 4.  Keep a shoebox of experiences and good ideas. 5. Invite uncomfortable conversations. 6. Focus on creativity when it hits. #creativity #innovation #wheregoodideascomefrom #hbr @JosephGrenny is the author of the New York Times bestselling book, Crucial Conversations.

“Stories build narratives and narratives build the reputation of a company. “ Did you know that narratives are one of the most powerful tools leaders can wield? 🛠️ As Frank Wolf details in his book, “The Narrative Age,” narratives can be used to change the mind of an audience and influence the existing status quo. Narratives can set a company in a new direction when they are powerful and inspirational. They can also provide companies with something extremely powerful: a positive reputation. 🌟 Register for #VOICES24 to hear more about the importance of narratives. ➡️ https://staffba.se/45NmlHv

"Our most brilliant tech leaders cannot give the 3-min simple story for their complex products..." A large tech company was holding a pitch day for their customers and executives could NOT get excited, informed and get their arms around the future of tech from their most brilliant folks. It's not a 'hero's journey' story, folks. And it's not the tech details. It's why this, why now and why YOU and WE will be transformed. Their team was 'scared scriptless.' I took away their notes. Their jargon. We got them on their feet. We got them connected to the transformation the tech makes for them, for you, for customer, for the betterment of humans. We got them storytelling about change, about people, about a future that cannot be perfect - nothing is - yet will offer opportunity. Change brings fear because it brings potential loss and uncertainty. What will this new tech do for us, what transformation will it bring? Why now? What a-ha made us realize that? Ultimately, we had every single tech whiz standing up without notes, with butterflies and with in the moment humor, talking about simple changes that are profound for people. The organizers won. The audience won. The tech geniuses won bc they could see that their ideas had "lift" and people FELT them. Complexity won't explain complexity. Simple, human, effective and humorous story WILL. Storytelling that is entertaining, effective and laughter-filled beats 'presenting' every day of the week. Here ...with people laughing, sharing their stories. That'a a GOOD day.

Leadership | Originality Edition ⠀ If you or your work are getting copied, then stop hyperventilating: ⠀ 1. This is a signal that you are Original and are the Trendsetter. 2. They will always be one or more steps behind you - because they will always be waiting for your innovation. 3. Know that you can survive on your brain, ideas, and innovation. They can't. ⠀ If you are the one copying, then: ⠀ 1. Give credit to the person you have copied from - Intellectual Property Law may put you at risk if you don't plus it's just the right thing to do 2. Modelling is different from copying. Modeling means you are following a specific structure while giving full play to your creativity. Copying is just lifting someone else's ideas or work and passing them off as your own. 3. Whatever you do will come back to you many times over - that's the law of cause and effect. Ask yourself: Would you want someone to do that to you? How would you feel? ⠀ Be Original. It's better than being a copy. Be a Leader. Be Original. ⠀ If you are a CXO, Corporate Professional, or an Organisation and resonate with this and would love to tune into success in life, career & business, then get Regular Inspiration in the FREE PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP (click the button titled "JOIN THE LEADER BY DESIGN HUB" at this link): https://lnkd.in/d3ffa2J #strategicleadership #namratavishwanath #leaderbydesignhub #theleaderbydesigntalkshow #workingprofessionals #ceo #cxo #corporate #organization #coaching #strategy

CEOs are masters in their fields. But not always masters of brevity. The truth is, no one's scrolling LinkedIn for a white paper. They want digestible nuggets. That's where my team comes in. Think of us as expert miners. Our clients unleash a torrent of thoughts, and we sift through, uncovering the brightest gems. How do we spot the true valuables? Our team isn't just skilled in curation; they're savvy in business. They instinctively know what resonates and what's relevant. Our end product isn't just content; it's clarity. Ideas, refined and ready for consumption. CEOs: Your expertise is a goldmine. But your most actionable insights? They might be hidden. Partner with a team skilled in unearthing and polishing them.

It's one thing to agree on a new vision or strategy, feeling the excitement of potential growth. But when it comes down to 'boots on the ground' and actually implementing those changes, the reality can be intimidating. More than once we've delivered a messaging strategy to a company and they are massively fired up. 🎉 They can't wait to shout from the highest mountains about about pushing their brand in a new direction, or narrowing their focus, or even expanding into a new market. And then, 3 months later, we check in and see how progress is going and almost nothing has happened. Change is hard. It's hard because it's about actively stepping into uncharted territories, even when the outcome is uncertain. But . . . it's where growth and innovation thrive. I always reference the Kylo Ren quote, "I know what needs to be done but I don't know if I have the strength to do it." You need a way of acknowledging the risk, embracing the uncertainty, and still deciding to move forward. We retooled our messaging playbook process by adding a focused implementation sprint that keep the mojo going. Game changer!! 🔗 Let's discuss: How do you confront the challenge of stepping out of your comfort zone? What strategies help you transition from planning to action? -- I'm Ginger Zumaeta.
