It is such a pleasure to have Mr Scott Coplan back on the show for Part 2 of our chat. In episode 93 we talked about commercial storytelling and having a leadership team who is committed to excellence, and who can have a dialogue about the organisational story to create a shared purpose for all of their staff to connect with. If you haven’t already, listen to episode 93 first.  In this episode, Part 2, we will talk about why leaders don’t seem to want to engage in dialogue with their staff. We also chat about how leaders can get to be one of the team, and connect with each employee. And how as a leader you can understand why an employee might not be performing at their best. Let’s get to it!We are proudly sponsored by S A Partners, a world-leading business transformation consultancy.FREE DownloadWe have a press release of Scott's book, The Integrator available for download in the resources section of our website.

It really literally comes down to the idea of saying, sense-making, again, another person? And how do I build in a sense of connection to that person so that they feel a sense of trust to communicate what it is that's going on in their mind? Whether it's root cause analysis... sounds so technical, but it literally gets into that trust level. So, we've got to be able to take minimal chances with each other and have the outcome be not hit on the side of the head for it. So if I meet with you as your superior and I've set up an environment where I'm going to meet with everyone and as the senior manager of this group, and I'm going to point out that once a week, we're going to have 15 minutes just to hear what's going on. LinksBrad is proud to support many Australian businesses.
