INSUBORDINATE.

Stosh D. Walsh

Do you think work can change the world? Do you have a little rebel in you? If so, this podcast is for you. Individuals are the cornerstones of organizations. Organizations are the cornerstones of communities. And communities are the cornerstones of the world. That means if we do the right things in our organizations, our workplaces, we can make the world just that little bit better. But traditional approaches to management, leadership and employee engagement aren’t working. We're listening to the wrong people and doing the wrong things in our workplaces. Fortunately, there are better ways, and INSUBORDINATE exists to explore and share them. Host Stosh D. Walsh from Constant Organizational Development leverages over 15 years of experience in consulting, education and executive coaching to help you advance your professional development and grow your business. Discover practical insights on management, leadership, employee engagement, and other organizational development and human resources related topics. Learn and apply the best ways to develop yourself, others, your team and your organization without any confusing theory, impractical nonsense or pithy aphorisms. Question traditional approaches that aren’t working. Get direct, actionable ideas for how to make our workplaces better. Invest in what drives positive outcomes for individuals, teams, organizations and the world. Don’t settle for bad management, bad leadership, and bad workplaces. Be insubordinate, and let’s make the world better together.

Ep. 20-The Eisenhower Matrix and Why We Should Be Critical of Models

INSUBORDINATE.

09/26/23 • 31 min

Send us a text

I am on LinkedIn frequently. It is a great place to learn, share information, network, etc. However, it also can be a source of well intended, but misguided advice.
One such example that appears often is "The Eisenhower Matrix"--a simple model designed to help users prioritize activities and time. It has it's value, but also its problems, both of which we discuss in this episode.
In this episode, we discuss:

Why it is important to examine any model with a critical eye
Differentiating between "urgent" and "important"
Where managers and leaders should actually spend most of their time
The implications of this model for delegation
The 2 most important things to consider when delegating
How purpose, values, vision and culture shape our understanding of models and how we implement them

Ep. 10-Why "Leading From Within" Is a Bad Idea, and Why Elon Musk Is a Bad Leader

INSUBORDINATE.

11/22/22 • 24 min

Send us a text

"Lead From Within."
You've heard this advice before from people like Lolly Daskal, but it's a leadership myth to believe that you can just discover what's inside you and start leading.
Good leaders know what's within, but they aim it at what's without.
In this episode, we discuss:

Why "lead from within" is a bad idea
How talent, purpose and passion are important, and not important, to leadership
Why "calling" is a dangerous word, and why you should never hire someone based on it
Elon Musk's Twitter takeover, and why he's a bad leader (if he's even a leader at all)
Why both followers and the future are essential to leadership, and having one without the other isn't leading
