Today I welcome friend and business leader, Charles Weathers to the show. I've known Charles for some time, and I've benefited from his extensive knowledge of leadership development. Charles spends time working with nonprofits and faith-based organizations. He loves working with them because they share his heart for the community. He has worked to help these companies with board development, governance, leadership development and strategic planning.
Intergenerational Boards
Today, boards have a broad range of Gen X, Boomers, Gen Y and Millennials. Companies must find ways for these groups to work together if they are going to sustain their business. Interacting with intention and working together to overcome stereotypes will go a long way toward building trust and successful relationships.
The Last Seven Words of a Dying Organization
Backward thinking often gets in the way of forward progress. The “we’ve never done it that way before” mentality stalls progress and causes organizations to crumble. Businesses must be willing to engage in conversations about the future and look at things from new perspectives.
Episode Highlights:
- How board leadership is changing
- The positive impact of intergenerational boards
- A strategic plan is a mindset, not a piece of paper
- Setting the organizational culture
- How culture is a primary indicator of sustainability
- Facilitating courageous conversations
- The danger of agreement
- Being seen, heard and valued
- Building trust through vulnerability
- The inclusion illusion
Until next time, lead well!
