From Transactions to Transformation - Anne Hartslief - Shift & Thrive - Episode # 006
In this episode of Shift & Thrive, host Natalie welcomes Anne Hartslief, a masterful business leader and co-founder of Lockstep. Anne shares her profound insights into successful organizational transformation, emphasizing the difference between transactional and transformational change. She discusses the common pitfalls of overengineering transformation processes and the importance of inviting and engaging people in the journey. Anne highlights the significance of integrating the 'soul' and 'sacredness' into business practices, ensuring that purpose and human essence are at the core of transformation efforts. She also shares personal experiences, including her journey through a cancer diagnosis, and how it has influenced her leadership style.
Takeaways:
~Transformation is an Ongoing Journey: Understand that transformation is never really done. It's a continuous journey that requires constant adaptation and attention to evolving needs and circumstances.
~Prioritize People Over Processes: Transformation happens through people, not just businesses. Leaders must invite people into the transformation journey and engage them meaningfully rather than simply imposing processes.
~Embrace Systemic Thinking: Effective transformation impacts an entire system. Leaders should cultivate the ability to see and address the organizational and human systems at play, recognizing patterns and being willing to adapt.
~Foster Leadership Readiness: Prepare the leadership team for the transformation journey through deep, introspective work. This includes assessing energy levels, readiness for change, and their personal investment in the process.
~Encourage Risk and Vulnerability: Leaders should openly share their own experiences and challenges related to the transformation, fostering an environment where others feel safe to express their concerns and ideas.
~Resolve Personal and Organizational Trauma: Address personal and organizational trauma, as unresolved issues can hinder transformation. Recognize that transformation often requires healing and letting go of past constraints.
~Integration of Compassion and Performance: Strive to integrate compassion into high-performance cultures. Balanced leadership involves maintaining standards and discipline while also showing empathy and understanding toward team members.
