Summary

Are you feeling overwhelmed, constantly busy, and that you never have enough time to focus on what really matters? Learn how to use the design process of divergence and convergence to make space for you and your key relationships in the organization. Learn how to turn difficult relationships into trusted partners as you build influence upwards, with your peers, and with your team. Lead at scale by focusing on people and most importantly, starting with yourself.

Key Insights

  • High-achieving leaders often run on fumes, neglecting personal well-being and relationships.

  • Ruthless prioritization in tech can create a harmful culture focused solely on doing rather than being.

  • The design double diamond process can be applied inwardly to create space for leadership and personal growth.

  • Making space for relationships at work is essential to sustainable leadership and team trust.

  • The 'being' energy a leader brings to interactions deeply influences team dynamics beyond just 'doing' tasks.

  • Listening for the '10% truth' in difficult conversations opens pathways for empathy and collaboration.

  • Sharing personal vulnerability is a powerful way to build trust and improve workplace relationships.

  • Leadership opportunities extend beyond titles to everyday actions like mentoring or writing.

  • Leader satisfaction across dimensions like autonomy, mission, energy, and relationships shapes overall leadership effectiveness.

  • Small experiments and prototyping leadership behaviors, similar to design thinking for products, help create meaningful change.
