Unlocking Transformative Leadership: From Servant Leadership to Creative Problem Solving with Doug
Join us for an inspiring conversation on Doing Business with a Servant’s Heart as we explore the transformative power of leading with a servant’s heart. Our guest, Doug, shares his journey from a transactional approach to one centered on giving and serving others, inspired by Adam Grant’s book "Give and Take." Discover how this shift not only brought deeper meaning to Doug’s life but also significantly boosted his business. Doug introduces his latest work, "Rethinking Curiosity: How to Lead When You Don’t Have All the Answers," providing invaluable tools for leaders to navigate complexities with health, happiness, and effectiveness.
Listen in as we discuss the evolution of work and communication, contrasting past eras with today’s fast-paced environment. We highlight the importance of curiosity and mentoring in leadership, drawing from military principles to emphasize humility and trust within teams. Through personal anecdotes and references to influential figures, we underscore the value of intellectual humility and connection in effective leadership, showcasing how shared values and deep connections can transform organizations.
In another engaging segment, we focus on creative problem solving (CPS) and its impact on decision-making and entrepreneurship. Learn about the Foresight assessment, which identifies preferences across four key steps: clarifying, ideation, developing, and implementing solutions. Doug shares personal examples of how reframing problems led to broader solutions, balancing divergent and convergent thinking to manage ideas effectively. We wrap up with Doug imagining an inspiring dinner with historical leaders and discussing his upcoming podcast relaunch, "Looking for and," all while emphasizing the importance of continuous Personal Development for effective leadership.
