Welcome to another exciting episode of The Friday Habit! Today, we have Shaun Lee joining us to dive into an important topic many organizations struggle with. Ever wondered why pinpointing individual employees or leaders often misses the mark when solving organizational issues? Weâll explore how this common misconception overlooks deeper, systemic problems.
Shaun will share insights on systems thinking, a holistic approach that looks at how different parts of an organization interact. By focusing on the environment in which individuals operate, we can better understand their behaviors, attitudes, and performances.
Weâll also discuss the importance of collective ownership in driving systemic change. Shaun will introduce us to the Six Levers framework, a powerful tool for intentional and systematic organizational change. This framework helps organizations move towards healthier, more productive, and fulfilling ways of working.
Changing an organization isn't a straight path; itâs a journey that requires leaders to critically assess and prioritize the areas that need the most attention. This customized approach ensures effective and lasting interventions. Get ready to revolutionize the way you view organizational dynamics and productivity!

Join us as Jack Skeels dives into the fascinating world of 'unmanagement' and redefines the role of managers in today's organizations. In this engaging conversation, Jack challenges traditional notions of control and instead, champions authority and empowerment. He introduces us to the four pivotal moments every manager should master: why, what, go, and grow. By clearly communicating the 'why' behind tasks, Jack argues that managers can ignite purpose and improve decision-making across their teams. He also underscores the power of giving teams control over their work, which can lead to a more collaborative and fruitful work environment.
Throughout our discussion, Jack shares valuable insights on leveraging individual strengths and fostering autonomy among employees. He stresses the importance of self-assessment for managers and the benefits of soliciting team feedback through surveys to enhance productivity. Wrapping up, Jack advises against micromanagement, advocating instead for a workplace culture that's both positive and empowering. Tune in to discover how you can transform your management style and create a thriving work environment.

In part two of the discussion with storyteller, author, and keynote speaker Mark Carpenter, he shares some of the strategies he employs in telling great stories people will remember. Before utilizing storytelling to teach, lead, sell or inspire, it is important to know the purpose behind telling that story. When the storyteller is clear on why they are sharing a story, they can choose important details to share or discard, and the pacing falls into place. They can also begin to look for experiences to turn into stories that would serve their purpose.
Mark encourages authenticity in delivering a story. Citing recent groundbreaking research, the neuroscience behind the power of storytelling is compelling. Brain wave activity increases during a story versus simply receiving information. When listeners engage with a story, they access their personal memories in order to find relatability, which solidifies the likelihood they will remember the message. Stories also trigger the brain to release oxytocin, which is the chemical that leads to trust and connectivity. When a storyteller shares authentically with honorable intention, people respond with deeper levels of engagement and buy-in. Not to be used in a manipulative way, the power of storytelling as a leadership skill is growing at the corporate level thanks to pioneers like Mark. Humans have communicated through storytelling for millenia; it only makes sense that forward-thinking leaders would apply the approach to professional development.
Main Topics
Using storytelling in sales (01:20)Common roadblocks in developing stories (04:25)Pacing in storytelling (06:50)Impact of stories on the brain (10:00)Increasing relatability chemicals in the brain (15:25)Markâs current consulting projects (18:30)Workshops for use storytelling as a leadership skill (21:30)Episode Links
