"Adaptive Mindsets" with Gretchen Pisano and Alexis Robin of pLink Leadership (Frederick, USA)

"What you realise is that people don't mind when people have clear boundaries. In fact, they APPRECIATE them".

GBD51 Gretchen Pisano and Alexis Robin are co-founders of pLink Leadership, a US-based management consultancy that provides leadership-development, executive coaching, and curriculum-creation. AICPA & CIMA's Jennifer Gardner hears from our guests about an adaptive mindset. Why it matters? How it helps us decide to intervene on behalf of ourselves,  speed up how we adapt to a changing world and accommodate volatility in the workplace.

 

CONCLUDING WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH 2019.

Throughout March we've featured a bonus selection of interviews with women who've become movers and shakers in the accounting, finance and business professional sphere. Episodes every Wednesday as usual with 'Friday Focus' shows for some extra weekend inspiration.

 

WE DISCUSS:

• Boundaries.
• Making sure staff mindsets are as “nimble and lean” as the company.
• Developing our own 'complexity of mind' by inviting insights and inputs from those around us.
• Challenging our own internal biases.
• Taking an active role in change.
• The strengths that women bring.
• How women are naturally wired to have an adaptive mindset - but how this can sometimes get in the way too.
• The difference between creating a community for the long term, and simply collaborating in the short term.
• Changing our 'self-talk'.
