"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'.
