Interview with Heidi Helfand

In this episode, we interview Heidi Helfand. She is challenged with the “Think aptitude and attitude” pattern from the Wardley Maps Doctrine repository (https://wardleypedia.org/mediawiki/index.php/Doctrine_Patterns#Think_aptitude_and_attitude). During the episode, Heidi shares her experiences in a learning environment and how it can be set up to allow emergence (doing it together). We also discuss how to harvest the potential by engaging people in problem-solving while allowing for variation.

Heidi recommends the following resources:

• The First 90 Days by Michael D. Watkins
• Leadership Is Language by David Marquet
• The Leader Lab by LeeAnn Renninger and Tania Luna
