Bright & Wize

In this year-end podcast series, Pamela Coleman-Davis, a Certified Career Coach and The Modern Leadership Design program developer, joins Leslie Ferry. And they explore 5 attributes of effective leadership.

In this first episode, they start by defining the broader definition of leadership, which encompasses those who want to take ownership of their career, so a self-leader, to those who wish to demonstrate leadership before getting the title.

They then move into the first attribute – Influences Others to Gain Cooperation.

For each attribute, Pam explains

• What each means
• Why it is important
• Actions to take to strengthen them
• And knowing if you are doing it correctly

The other attributes will follow in separate episodes and include:

• Activates System 2 Critical Thinking for Problem-Solving
• Over-Communicates to Avoid Ambiguity
• Proactively Creates Culture
• Empowers Other Through Continuous Learning

The final topic of the Career Transitions and Performance Measurement series is leading others. It starts with two questions. Are you a manager or leader? How do you know? Listen to find out how to recognize your movement into the next career stage.

This Bright & Wize episode discusses how job performance measurements change when individuals start to manage others, whether as a team lead or direct report manager.

This episode series is the first of several year-end Bright & Wize weekly series. Here, Brize CEO & Bright & Wize host Leslie Ferry dives into performance measurement in the workplace. The reason she wanted to explore this topic is because once stated and understood, the performance measurement seems logical; some might even think, duh. But, the funny thing is they appear more subconscious and are not often explicitly stated in these ways, so she thought she’d explicitly say them.

This first episode looks at the transition from academia, where knowing the answer was the measure of good performance, into the workplace, where the measure of our performance differs.

AI is already disrupting how we work. It will increase our productivity and change how we achieve our goals and responsibilities in profound ways. It is the latest evolution of the skills needed in the AI economy. Listen to hear how you can take advantage of this latest shift.
