Ep 144: Accelerating Positive Change, with Gretchen Pisano

On this episode of THRIVE — sponsored by E2M Solutions— Kelly and Gretchen Pisano of pLink, discuss the complex journey of leadership and how agency leaders can accelerate positive change among their teams.

Gretchen Pisano and I cover these points and more:

• Why leaders, as high achievers, tend to get in their own way;
• How to create positive change after recognizing how our trauma shows up as leaders;
• The importance of understanding post-traumatic growth as part of the journey;
• Recent research on the impact that leaders have on others; and
• How we can begin to accelerate positive change within ourselves and organizations.
