“Brain Savvy” Change Leaders in a ‘Learning Organization’
The level of complexity, rate and pace of change continues to increase in the workplace. Leaders are confronting issues related to accessibility, safety, quality, the customer experience and costs every day. Each of these challenges brings new learning about individual and organizational change, negative impacts on people and operations and how best to achieve and sustain breakthrough results in this turbulent environment.
These are still early days in the implementation of “Learning Organization” models like Lean, but many early adopters have described: breakthrough improvements in the customer experience; dramatic cost reductions and increases to staff engagement, productivity and performance. However, there are very few stories of sustaining those gains over time.
Becoming a ‘Learning Organization’ requires transformation in how organizational strategy is developed and deployed; how daily operations are managed; how leaders and teams are developed; the speed of learning and improvement cycles and the nature and value of all work.
Leadership, at all levels, is a critical success factor in becoming a learning organization. Yes, this level of transformation requires leaders who are passionate about operational excellence and the engagement and development of people. But, leaders must also be ready to: engage in their own personal change process; shift how they think, act and lead; fully participate in learning and improvement activity and truly partner with staff to continuously develop, implement and sustain learning and improvement.
Leaders need strategies and tools to:
Stay effective and resilient as pressures and demands increase
Optimally engage, support and lead people through change.
Being smart and business savvy is important but it is not enough. To be great, leaders also need to be “brain savvy”.
Brain savvy change leaders understand and apply Insights from neuroscience to optimize their own performance, develop high performing change teams and contribute to a learning mindset and culture.
