In this week’s episode of the SIMPLE brand podcast, I talk with Karin Hurt, author of Courageous Cultures: How to Build Teams of Micro-Innovators, Problem Solvers, and Customer Advocates.
Karin is the founder of Let’s Grow Leaders, a training firm focused on helping human-centered leaders find clarity in uncertainty, drive innovation, and achieve breakthrough results - without losing their humanity.
She’s an international keynote speaker. In fact, Inc. Magazine says she’s one of the top 100 leadership speakers.
And Karin’s the bestselling author of four books including Courageous Cultures.
Karin and I discuss her lessons to help you create a courageous culture that shares new ideas, proactively solves problems, and generates contributions from all levels.
Here’s what we discuss:
- What holds employees back from speaking up and sharing ideas
- Why telling your employees you have an “open door” policy isn’t enough
- Why creating clarity helps generate better ideas
- Setting constraints helps employees feel less intimidated to share ideas
- Steps for building a courageous culture
- Karin’s IDEA model helps you effectively frame and pitch new ideas
- The concept of micro-innovations helps everyone realize that they’re innovative
- How to influence a courageous culture in both your team and your leadership
