Leading through complexity, not just change Part 2

Show Notes

• Resilience ≠ endless pushing: build comfort with discomfort; use challenge as a team-bonding accelerator when you face it together.
• Spot team drift early: when tension comes from the team, independence erodes the common goal—realign to the patient and the shared mission.
• Deciding in the fog: use process of elimination; discuss “bad options” to strengthen the good one; define success signals before you move.
• Easy path vs. hard path: easy isn’t “wrong.” If you don’t cut a new road today, pre-plan what it would take to cut it tomorrow.
• Experimentation culture: separate the person from the work (DISC lens) to reduce shame, increase learning, and invite bold ideas.
• Effective communication: don’t just send—ensure receipt. Mind timing, channel, and context. Don’t “info-dump” to transfer responsibility.
• A small shift for tomorrow: extend grace to yourself, ask a trusted teammate for perspective, and take one clear next step.
• Mentioned frameworks & phrases: process of elimination, “I’m in charge of me,” next right step, psychological safety, DISC, success signals, team over solo.
