My guest today is Simon Bailey. He’s the Managing Director of LSP Leadership and is asking himself, and the leaders with whom he works, about regenerative leadership. He asks:
Listen in to this conversation to get inspired and get in action in the ways that are important to you. About the Guest: Simon Bailey is the managing director of LSP leadership. In leading LSP leadership, he sees clearly the necessity to work with leaders and their organizations to bring about an accelerated transition towards the sustainable enterprise. This is driven by his personal purpose to help people and places be better than they are today and by his observations that people in the organizations that they work in, are in the main, slow to recognize commercial and personal opportunities that this transition to a sustainable economy presents. As a coach, his approach is intuitive, challenging and deeply caring for his clients, and what they are seeking to achieve. Simon coaches in multinational organizations, multi sector SMEs and with individual leaders in transition. Prior to joining LSP leadership in 2003, Simon served in the army as an infantry officer leading operations and training in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

| 22 Oct 2024 | Practical Insights to Rethink Performance and Unlock Success with HPT | Therese Longo | 00:30:10 | |
Our guest today is Therese Longo, an expert in Human Performance Technology (HPT), who has dedicated her career to enhancing how organizations develop their people. Therese’s approach shifts the focus from traditional competency and behavior-based models to accomplishment-focused strategies that drive real results. She realized that while training is often seen as the go-to solution for performance issues, it doesn’t always address the root of the problem. Her journey into HPT began when she connected with mentors and industry leaders, leading her to adopt innovative techniques that emphasize measurable outcomes and sustainable growth. In our conversation, we explore how accomplishment-focused methods can transform performance management systems and talent development processes. Therese emphasizes the importance of understanding the full scope of human performance rather than just relying on training. By leveraging HPT principles, she guides us on how to identify what truly drives success in our teams and organizations. This episode is a deep dive into rethinking performance management, offering practical insights on how we can shift from generic training to strategies that foster meaningful accomplishments and lasting impact.
Key Takeaways: 1. Accomplishment-Focused Approach: Shifting focus from traditional competency models to accomplishment-driven strategies can lead to better performance outcomes. 2. Training Isn’t Always the Solution: While training can help, it often doesn’t address the full scope of performance issues; understanding the root causes is crucial. 3. Human Performance Technology (HPT): HPT provides a framework to analyze and improve human performance by focusing on measurable accomplishments. 4. Identifying Performance Gaps: Therese emphasizes the importance of pinpointing specific areas that impact performance rather than applying generic training solutions. 5. Sustainable Growth: By leveraging HPT principles, organizations can create more effective, long-term improvements in their talent development and management processes.

| 27 Aug 2024 | The Integrity Drift: How We Move Away from Our Values and How to Recognize and Respond When We Do | John Blumberg | 00:37:39 | |
Why do we drift away from our values and our integrity? Is it inevitable? Does it happen to everyone? And what can we do when it happens? John Blumberg joins me to answer these questions. John is a national speaker and author and his thought leadership on integrity deepens and broadens our understanding and experience the concept of integrity. This conversation will make you think!
About the Guest: John G. Blumberg is a national speaker and author. His thought leadership on integrity may very well deepen and broaden how you personally experience the concept of integrity. In 1996, John left behind an 18-year career he loved … one that had taken him from CPA to worldwide recruiting responsibilities at Arthur Andersen. Over the two decades that followed, John has evolved his general focus on leadership and culture … to a laser focus on precisely what fuels them. John is the author of four books. His most recent two books are both titled Return On Integrity. One of them was written specifically for the leader-at-the-top of any organization and is subtitled The New Definition of ROI and Why Every Leader Needs to Know It. The other was written for everyone … regardless of title, role or stage of life. It is subtitled, The Individual’s Journey to the One Essential Thing. Leading business author Patrick Lencioni describes Return On Integrity as “the most comprehensive compelling guide to core values I’ve ever seen. It’s a treasure for leaders who understand the importance of culture.”
