S8-Ep27: The Five Lost Superpowers

Featured Guest: John Reid Adulthood is kryptonite. We’re all born with superpowers.  Curiosity is the most easily recognizable.  As children, we’re flooded with it.  But as adults, instead of being rewarded for having a million questions, we’re expected to have the answers.  Leaders, in particular, believe they should have all the answers. Your superpowers are still there, and truly great leaders know how to unlock them.  John Reid will help you rediscover yours, too!  Author of The Five Lost Superpowers, Reid joins host Maureen Metcalf to identify the powers we’re all born with…and to provide some basic tools to reactivate them so you can achieve your full potential, personally and as a leader.  And when you do that, you’ll help the people around you achieve their potential, too! --------------   Other episodes you'll enjoy: The Power of Praise: Making People's Performance Positive with Ben Marcovitz Facing Uncertainty: It’s VUCA with Christopher Nolan The Bonobo Sisterhood: Ape Society's Lessons for Leaders - with Diane Rosenfeld For daily wisdom from our guests, be sure to follow us on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/innovativeleadershipinsitute.

After John survived three bouts of cancer, he decided to pursue his passion for learning and development. John pursued this passion with a belief that people want to get better and can get better, but it is often the manner in which traditional training is designed and delivered that makes this desire for growth difficult. As the lead designer for JMReid Group, John shifts the design emphasis from models and intellectual property to a learning experience that is relevant to the learner’s real world, taps into participants’ wisdom and is engaging and sustainable. His is a clearly learner-centric approach.
