‘Balancing change and continuity requires continuous work on information.’

‘We need a new concept of information and a new understanding of learning and teaching.’

What ‘Experimental Leaders’ Know About Leadership

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Health & Well-Being, Improve Academy, Innovation Management, Leadership, Management, Personal Development, Workplace Learning Report

‘The experimental leader is a new kind of boss, one that observes, tests, and adjusts according to the outcomes.’

‘… experimental leaders … create stability in an unstable world. They open the doors for change so innovation can emerge.’

‘Being curious about small improvements and small observations is what being an experimental leader is about. It isn’t about throwing the whole business or process out and starting over again.’

‘Neutrality and curiosity are at the heart of becoming an experimental leader.’

‘Become inquisitive about how you lead now, and picture the kind of leader you want to grow into.’

‘The experimental mindset requires you to hold on to an end-of-state as your goal, experiment in incremental ways, and assess your success, adjusting as you go.’

‘The experimental leadership is action-based, so it is essential that you act before you necessarily understand.’

‘Pay attention. Over time, you will see small changes become profound shifts.’

‘Intents describe what will be accomplished. Your people determine how the work will be done.’

‘Know the work of your team. Help them track progress. Engage them in questions to spark new discoveries. Above all, foster curiosity.’

‘Create an atmosphere in which your team knows and feels it’s good for you to see their work, especially the imperfections.’

‘What can you do today to move forward by tomorrow?’
