2024/01/25

I'm Ian Browne, and we're about to unravel the complexities of Imposter Syndrome and its ties to the relentless pursuit of perfection.

How to handle Downward Dog leaders

2024/01/21

Welcome back. So in the last episode we were looking at catalytic leaders. Leaders of people who radiate energy outwards and enthuse others with the sense of the possible. I’m sure you’ve met someone like this. I’m also sure you’ve met many leaders who felt at least at the time like the complete opposite. In this episode we explore what it's like to work with a Downward Dog leader, the one where everything revolves around him. We look at why this happens, the impact on productiity and

How to handle Hungry Hippo leaders

2024/01/21

In this episode we're looking at the Hippo leadership style. Hippo stands for highest paid person's opinion. It abounds in organisations and yet because expertise and insight exists more widely, often HIPPOs can be guilty of reducing collective insight and intelligence and making everything about themselves.

"Vision is the ultimate source of all leadership. Optimism is vision girded for battle. Optimism can be a shape-shifting and protean force, moving like water past all obstacles, breaking a path of love, expressed in courage." James Strock In this episode we explore the power of optimism within your leadership style. Associated with greater engagement, creativity and productivity it's a powerful force and yet as you'll learn hardly any organisations look for it in new hires or

How to be a talent magnet

2023/12/19

It used to be that the most senior people in the organisation were the most experienced, knowledgeable and smartest. But these days people have side-hustles, have worked in multiple organisations, are board members of not-for-profits, run their own businesses. Surveys show workers have a range of secret skills that never get used in their workplace. This episode explores the concept of the talent magnet not from a hiring perpective but what it takes to bring out all the smarts in the room. To

2023/05/11

Episode 14 and last in the season on Connective Energy and it would be odd to do a whole season on how to connect without mentioning LinkedIn. I resisted this for a while because people write whole books on LinkedIn so what can I add. Well in this episode I'll focus a bit on how to use LinkedIn sincerely from the point of view of leveraging Connective Energy of others. Lots of books have focussed on selling yourself, your product, your application for a job and so forth but they are arguably

Welcome to episode 13 of season 3 we're still working on developing our connective energy. In this episode I look at the top down command and control leadership style questioning how effective it is in a world where we want to grasp information, insight and connection through porous borders. By contrast I'll be looking at leading as a Neighbourhood Mayor, mastering multiple constituencies of opinion and bringing them together to leverage connective energy.

So far in this season we’ve looked at Connective energy and the value to be gained in terms of energy from forging alliances with others. Just making the ask are you curious, are you willing to explore further will immediately bring your connections and energy you didn’t have before. Despite your awesome connective energy skills there comes a time when things just don’t seem to gel, you’re making the ask but somehow people are not getting what you’re saying and the connection is not happening.

How to rewrite the rules of networking

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/12/13

When you’re seeking to leverage connective energy the number one rule is to be yourself. There are two (at least) good reasons for this. Firstly that trying to be someone else or trying to emulate someone else’s character or behaviour is endlessly exhausting and takes and huge amount of energy that should be focussed on building the relationship not holding a constant mask. The second is that if you’re out there genuinely seeking to develop relationships on the basis of trust then there can be no

The female dimension of networking?

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/12/06

If we head back to the 70s, 80s even 90s, the art of connecting was something still done in clubs, largely men-only as best as they could get away with it, or the golf course, again at the time a male bastion. Everything behind closed doors. Zip forwards at least thirty years and it’s true that some things have not changed but as Judy Rabinett points out; women have stepped into greater leadership roles so the art of connecting has changed and evolved. Men wrote the rules of networking and held the

How to network as an introvert

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/11/29

Introverts have a well-established “too much” radar which needs to balance taking on information with processing and digesting. Whereas extroverts tend to think through talking, introverts need peace to be able to really think. And therefore when it comes to stepping into one of those big hotel rooms (you know the ones with the weird carpet designs than seem reserved only for big hotels and conference centres), introverts can feel they are like Christians being thrown into a roman gladiatorial

Connecting with honesty

Braver Leadership: Mental Fitness for Age of AI ·

2022/11/10

Honesty’s a tough cookie to crack in relationships. There are some who believe you should always be honest no matter what the consequence. Yet extreme honesty uninvited can wreck and ruin relationships. Few people set out to be dishonest in their connections and yet they withhold things they’re less happy with, pull punches on feedback and through this mislead their connections into believing things that aren’t exactly true. That’s not a good recipe for success either. When we don’t know our

No matter how flat you make a pancake, it’s still got two sides. Dr Phil Whenever we’re trying to forge a connection, it’s easy for us to go out imagining our pancake has only one side, the one we are interested in, and interested in promoting.That’ll get us so far in forging connections, but only so far. When we incorporate different points of view, those differences can be mild alternative perspectives or radically alternate perspectives.It’s often easy for to think, I’ll accept the mild ones

Simple networking fails

2022/10/27

I do not take well to the word fail.Recently someone introduced me to another way of looking at the word instead seeing FAIL as “First attempt in learning”.That works better for me.We all make mistakes.What matters is what we do with the experience. When it comes to building connective energy people tend to make surprisingly similar steps that don’t exactly help the process.So in this podcast I thought I look at each of these even if it’s just to remind you that occasionally this is something you do

“Let your hook be always cast, in the pool where you least expect it there will be fish”, Ovid In this episode we look at fostering links and connections. You may think the strategy is to harvest more connections endlessly or boost up the strong ones and kick out the weaker links. But I'm going to challenge that directly. In this episode we look at all the advantages some of the weaker links in your network can bring to you in contrast and further connections. You can find the whole transcript plus

Networking with Generosity

2022/10/13

“As a leader of a growing team or company, the single most important thing you can do is ensure your success is to invest in building a culture of givers” Adam Grant, Give and Take. Networking is one of those words that brings a sense of horror and dread for some and yet for others it appears to come easy. There is some truth in networking being easier as you get a little older, not necessarily because you have more practice but in general because the older you get the more established existing
