077. Diversity is Energizing with Ian Ziskin

💭 What are your long held traditions that haven't been questioned or reimagined? How do we become and remain more relevant when everything around us internally and externally is changing rapidly?

In this episode, we learn that in a diverse workplace where a safe environment is available for novel ideas, team members are granted the authority to make decisions, credit is distributed for success, are all examples of leadership behaviors that can unlock innovative changes across the board. Employees in a speak up culture are more likely to contribute to their full capacity, and leaders who give different views equal airtime are nearly twice as likely to release value-driving insights than others. Where there is diversity, there is energy and stamina  for change.

We are joined this week by the quadragenarian professional, Ian Ziskin, who has 40 years  cumulative experience in Transformational change. Ian gives us the excerpts from his recent book entitled The Secret Sauce for Leading Transformational Change, on the 25 essays from transformational change experts and 8 interviews with CEOs and other senior leaders in the book – on some common themes  that emerged from all these perspectives. And most importantly, the "Pizzanology".
