    by
    May 9, 2016
    As a current LILA member you are invited to an exclusive three-hour workshop with Bob Kegan and Andy Fleming (CEO, Way to Grow INC) on Wednesday, June 8th from 1:30-4:30 p.m. at Harvard Graduate School of Education in Cambridge, MA. The workshop will serve as a natural follow-up to Bob’s session on Tuesday and delve deeper into the principles and practices of Deliberately Developmental Organizations™ (DDOs). Bob and Andy also look forward to sharing highlights from their initial work using their proprietary DDO Assessment℠. This survey instrument measures the current “developmental-richness” of an organization’s culture and spotlights specific behavioral gaps that organizations need to address to become more developmental for all of their people.

  3. Learning & Performing (Chris Kayes)

    April 13, 2016
    A big idea that I took away was the role of curiosity and safe risks to support individual and group learning. And I’m wondering how the opposite of curiosity and safe risk -- confidence and “safe routines” – might work against learning and support performance. My guess is that In short, Kayes noted from his work that a key individual factor that predicts learning is “open to new experiences.” A key team processes that predict learning is psychological safety and supervisory support. DW: Being open to novelty is a hallmark of conceptual frameworks of curiosity. And that makes intuitive sense in terms of the role it plays in individual learning. Psych safety and the leader role are also well established in team learning literature, so good to see it here. However, it raises a question in me: I wonder how their opposites, such as indifference, confidence, normality, and routines, might explain individual and team performance?

    Paradoxical Leadership Introduction by Dr. Wendy Smith

    by
    Comment October 15, 2015
    Dr. Smith, who had spoken to LILA last year in a member call, framed her keynote presentation today around the question of “What is the nature of paradoxes?” She expressed that her goal for this talk was to provide us with level-setting language to inspire reflections, push-back, and questions over the course of this conference and beyond. Her follow-up talk tomorrow will focus on potential approaches we can apply to manage and leverage the paradoxes we face in our organizations and daily lives. She suggested that, over the next year, one possible measure of success we may want to use is to see if we can shift viewing our challenges from “problematic” to a “source of possibility.”
