The conversation explores the importance of individuals and organisations taking responsibility for creating change and embracing vision and values. It emphasizes the need for leaders to change their mental models and think differently about how organizations should operate. The conversation also touches on the topic of diversity and inclusion, highlighting the importance of valuing uniqueness and creating a culture of care. The power of dialogue and storytelling in driving change is discussed, along with the idea of love being the core value and organising principle for business and society. TakeawaysCreating a compelling vision that matters to people and aligning it with strategic goals, systems, processes, structures, and leadership decisions and behaviors is key to success. Eliminating the term 'human resources' and recognizing the importance of language in shaping culture and meaning. Engaging people in co-creating vision and values leads to extraordinary results and a sense of ownership and engagement. The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted individuals to reflect on what matters most to them and seek meaning in their work. Individuals need to take responsibility for their own growth and development, articulating their vision and values and taking proactive steps towards their goals. Organisations need to be vision and value-based, aligning their actions with their stated values and creating a culture of care and inclusion. Leaders need to change their mental models and think differently about how organizations should operate, challenging assumptions and embracing diversity and dialogue. Dialogue and storytelling are powerful tools for driving change and creating shared understanding and connection. Love should be the core value and organizing principle for business and society, transcending fear and creating a more compassionate and inclusive world. Watch this episode on YouTube hereLearn more about Michele here where you can also purchase her DreamMakers book series (also available on Amazon and all good online bookstores).
