Welcome to Chain of Learning Episode 2!

This video recording is the full conversation between Katie Anderson and Jamie Parker from Episode 2 of the Chain of Learning podcast, Leading with the Heart to Create a Culture of Continuous Learning with Jamie Parker, which you can check out at http://ChainOfLearning.com/2. The first part of the conversation appeared on Jamie Parker's podcast here: https://processplusresults.com/podcast/developing-a-growth-mindset-as-a-leader-125/

What does it really take to create a thriving organization  – one that is not just focused on delivering results, but doing so by engaging people’s minds and hearts to collaborate, innovate, and solve problems as the way to get to those results?

If you’re trying to create a culture of operational excellence and continuous improvement: What’s love got to do with it? As Jamie Parker and I explore here  – a lot!

Love, empathy, and human connection is our focus on this episode of Chain of Learning.

And you just might walk away singing a little Tina Turner too.

Can We Be People-Centered Without Being Heart-Centered?

You’ve likely heard the idea that organizations thrive when they are people-centered. You are likely a proponent of engaging people in your organization.

But here is a question to ask yourself, can you be people-centered without being heart-centered?

In this episode of Chain of Learning, I talk with Jamie Parker and continue our conversation about our takeaways from GE’s The Lean Mindset event and how it relates to leadership and cultures of continuous improvement (part one of which you can hear on her podcast Lean Leadership for Ops Managers – Episode 125 – Developing a Growth Mindset as a Leader).

Here, we explore the concept of heart-centered leadership. We dive into the benefits and challenges of leading with love and empathy. We discussed the importance of listening and going to see. And, we look at how human connection is the foundation for a culture of continuous improvement – and ultimately for achieving results.

Some of these things may seem obvious to you – yet some might seem foreign – as a way to lead a team and inspire an organizational culture.

In this video, you can expect to hear about:

✅ The value of sharing struggles and challenges to foster a culture of learning

✅ Our key takeaways from GE’s The Lean Mindset event, including hearing from leaders like GE CEO Larry Culp, PG&E CEO Patti Poppe, Ford CEO Bill Ford, Chef Wolfgang Puck, basketball superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, Professor Carol Dweck, and many more

✅ How leading from the heart, with love and empathy, makes us more effective leaders

✅ How to more effectively listen and Break the Telling Habit®

✅  That a focus on people is the way to achieve results.
