Compassionate Leadership with Manley Hopkinson - Episode 2

What struck ewe most from this episode - and why?

How did you get on with the exercise our series guest Manley Hopkinson set for us at the end of the last episode?
We found it fascinating as you will find out when Manley gets us to share our efforts at the beginning of this week's show.
And if you're curious to know why he set us the exercise, and how it can help you to become a Compassionate Leader, hit the back button and listen to Episode 2 (and 1 as well ideally) first.
Meanwhile here we are at Episode 3 of our series on Compassionate Leadership already.
The outcome of Compassionate, or indeed any, leadership is surely to get the task done. To do so, is it best to have a 'committed' or a 'compliant' team?
How do you feel when asked to do something? What makes the difference between your being committed to the task or compliantly achieving it?
And as a leader, have you created a committed or a compliant team? Be honest! And if in doubt, ask them.
Manley finds McLellands' 3 Needs Theory particularly helpful, especially during his more adventurous leadership roles such as skippering a 50% amateur crew around the world the 'wrong' way. Find out about the theory and how Manley applied it practically in his extraordinary story in this episode.
Be enrapt by this tale and imagine how you would handle the situation he describes.
Then immerse yourself in the homeplay Manley sets for us at the end.
It will really get you thinking. In fact why not ask all your team to tune in and do the exercise - and find out next week how Manley suggests we benefit from our responses. The questions are below, though you need to listen to Manley's introductory briefing for them to make sense.
1) What is it you want to take away just for yourself? What is your selfish takeaway?
2) How are we going to work together? What's important to you in this respect?
3) What is important to you about what we achieve on this challenge?
Enjoy and thank ewe for listening :-)
