In Case You Missed It: Global Chats Season 2 highlights
Be inspired and tap into the experiences and insights of leading minds in leadership development, by watching the best of Adeption’s Global Chats Season 2. In this 25-minute highlights video, our expert guests, hosts, and community explore diverse perspectives on today’s key leadership challenges and opportunities.
Explore five themes that shed light on the future focus for leaders and organizations as we move towards 2O25:
Theme #1 The power of purpose, values and self awareness.
Post-pandemic dynamics have reshaped values and success metrics. Aligning personal and professional purposes is helping individuals remain grounded in high-pressure roles. Michael Henderson’s research shows that embodying personal values increases workplace commitment by over 72%!
Theme #2 Developing adaptive, resilient leaders equipped to navigate change.
In a fast-changing world, people at all levels of organizations are facing complex challenges without simple solutions. Season 2 explores how we can support the mindset and behavior shift necessary for thriving in change – from cultural consciousness to personal strategies.
Theme #3 Fostering experimentation, failure and curiosity as a cultural norm.
Embracing curiosity and reflection is crucial to building a culture that values experimentation and innovation. Our guests have championed this approach as a way to build resilience and turn mistakes into growth opportunities.
Theme #4 Increasing engagement and buy in organization wide.
Securing engagement across all levels, from C-suite to frontline, creates more impactful development. Despite challenges, conversations in Season 2 explore ways to capture the attention of busy leaders and achieve alignment, demonstrating that small steps can drive significant change.
Theme #5 Putting people at the heart of all we do.
Human-centered approaches feature prominently, with executives and leaders embracing strategies like servant leadership and design thinking. Prioritizing people (or to use the words of Nicole Krause, sitting in the seat of participants!) leads to powerful leadership development experiences.
