Shelmina Abji - 8 Strategies To Drive Gender Equality in Leadership

Episode 169

Wednesday, October 23, 2024 • Duration 46:30

A troublesome and persistent issue facing organizations today is their inability to develop and promote women to leadership positions where they can play a key role in the decision-making process.

But as my guest in this episode of my Leadership Biz Cafe podcast points out, this doesn’t mean there aren’t things women can do to make the case in their organization to promote them into leadership roles.

Shelmina Abji is a former IBM vice-president, philanthropist, angel investor, and active gender and racial equality advocate.

I invited Shelmina to join me on my show not only to share her inspiring story of growing up in a rural village in Tanzania to being one of the first visible minority women to hold the position of vice-president at IBM, but to talk about her book, “Show Your Worth: 8 Intentional Strategies For Women To Emerge As Leaders At Work."

Just as she does in her book, Shelmina shares a powerful, empowering, and honest message for how women – and in particular visible minority women – can address the current obstacles – both within the organizations and themselves – that impede their ability to, as Shelmina puts it, “create higher levels of value at your maximum capacity.”

How To Banish Busywork And Focus On Value Creation | Leadership Espresso Shot 66

Episode 168

Wednesday, October 9, 2024 • Duration 12:16

Have you ever had a workday where you were so busy that the time flew by, but you didn’t really accomplish anything? The sad reality is that you’re not alone.

One study found that 42% of employees spend half of their workday on busywork.

Another study by Visier found 43% of employees spend more than 10 hours a week on “productivity theatre” work – essentially, tasks that make them appear to be busy, but which aren’t critical to the organization’s long term objectives.

So what can leaders do to put a stop to busywork and help employees focus on work that really matters?

A good place to start is to get clear about what tasks are critical to your ability to achieve your goals today and in the weeks ahead, and which tasks are as useful as watching paint dry.

So for this edition of my “Leadership Espresso Shot” podcast series, I share a simple, but powerful strategy that will help you to not only identify and banish busywork, but develop a laser-like focus on those tasks that will drive value creation and growth for the organization.

Bob Sutton | How Leaders Can Become “Friction Fixers” To Make Work Better

Episode 159

Wednesday, June 5, 2024 • Duration 54:14

This is one of the interviews for my "Leadership Biz Cafe" podcast that I couldn't wait to share - my interview with Stanford professor and all-around great guy, Bob Sutton.

Bob is an organizational psychologist, Stanford professor, and best-selling author of “The No Asshole Rule”, “Good Boss, Bad Boss”, and “Scaling Up Excellence”.

My conversation with Bob revolved around his latest book, “The Friction Project: How Smart Leaders Make the Right Things Easier and the Wrong Things Harder”, and this simple question - why are some organizations able to effortlessly adapt and transform to meeting changing market conditions, while others seem to be held back by the very processes that are meant to help get things done?

Based on 7 years of research, Bob discovered that it all comes down to learning how to be a "friction fixer" who understands the difference between "good friction" and "bad friction".

While I was (obviously) expecting Bob to be an incredibly insightful and well-informed guest on organizational culture – I hadn’t expected to laugh as much as Bob and I did before, during, and after we went on the air.

Listening to this episode, it’s hard not to feel an undercurrent of warmth over the course of the episode, which gives this episode a lovely feel-good mood paired alongside fantastic insights and hilarious stories about how leaders can become “friction fixers” to improve the way their organization works.

And at the end, Bob shares with me one of the best and kindest compliments I've ever received about my work.

If only there was a way to hang an audio clip up on the refrigerator door....

The Economist’s Adrian Wooldridge | A Leadership Wake-Up Call Driven By The Pandemic

Episode 69

Wednesday, October 28, 2020 • Duration 34:33

If ever there was a singular event that brought to the forefront the influence - if not importance - of good governance, there’s little question the pandemic fits that bill. Indeed, throughout the world, we’re seeing a critical examination of not only how effective governments at all levels are at not only protecting its citizenry from this global pandemic, but doing so in a way that doesn’t create long-term damage to their economies and societies at large.While in some countries this discussion has become highly politicized, the fact is leaders in both the private and public sectors have a vested interest in how well - or how badly - their governments manage this crisis.That’s why I wanted to sit down with Adrian Wooldridge, the political correspondent for The Economist who along with John Mickelthwait, editor in chief of Bloomberg News, have written their 7th book called “The Wake Up Call - Why The Pandemic Has Exposed The Weakness of the West, And How To Fix It”, to talk about what governments in Europe and North America need to be doing to not just beat this health crisis, but ensure we do so in a way that doesn’t permanently damage our economic and social infrastructure at the same time.Admittedly, this is a different conversation from what you usually hear on this podcast. But through my speaking work with leaders and their organizations, it’s become clear how critical this is for leaders in multinational, national, and regional organizations.In fact, I’ve created new keynotes around leading beyond the pandemic, as well as adapting previous leadership keynotes I’ve given to take into account the new realities leaders and their employees are grappling with and will continue to grapple with in the months and years ahead because of the fallout from this pandemic.As such, I invite you to check out this episode because whether your leadership is based in the private or public sectors, we all should be invested in learning what our governments should be focusing on to help overcome this current health crisis, and what role our organizations should play to assist in this fight.https://open.spotify.com/episode/6fA8Tgy4MGxde1qmOccoFL?si=xjcMdxkwRHym7DC8So2uzQNoteworthy links:Buy Adrian Wooldridge’s book “The Wake Up Call” on Amazon*Is Your Leadership Lacking This Critical Element During The COVID-19 Crisis?3 Steps To Boost Your Critical Thinking Skills During The COVID-19 Pandemic3 Important Lessons On Crisis Management From The COVID-19 Pandemic*Sponsored link

Importance of Expressing Gratitude During Challenging Times | Leadership Espresso Shot 18

Episode 68

Wednesday, October 14, 2020 • Duration 09:56

During challenging times, it’s critical that leaders boost their communication time to provide clarity and assurance to their employees. In this edition of my Leadership Espresso Shot series, I make the case that it’s equally important for leaders to express more gratitude through their leadership when faced with uncertainty about the future.Now this past Monday was Thanksgiving Day here in Canada which commemorates the end of the harvest season. For my family, this long weekend holiday is our favourite time to visit with our extended family and share laughs, good times, and warm memories. Unfortunately, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadians have been advised to stay home to slow the spread of this virus. But while we weren’t able to visit with family, I still found myself thinking about all the things I’m grateful for, despite all the challenges and problems this global pandemic has given rise to.And this got me thinking about how important it is for leaders to express gratitude through their leadership, especially during challenging times. In fact, there are several studies that demonstrate the numerous benefits leaders can tap into by bringing more gratitude into the way they lead. So what are those benefits and how can leaders express gratitude through their leadership? Well, to learn the answers to those questions, you need to listen to this episode.In the meantime, if you’ve been enjoying my leadership podcast, I’d appreciate it if you could share my show with your colleagues and network. The easiest way to do this is to share a link to our podcast page, where you can listen to ever episode of my show, as well as find links to subscribe on iHeartRadio, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Listen Notes.Speaking of different platforms where you can listen to my leadership podcast, you may recall how I shared recently my “Leadership Biz Cafe” podcast is now on Deezer. Well, I’m happy to share the news that just last week, my podcast was added onto Pandora as well.Now given the topic of this episode, I do have a personal message I share with listeners of my leadership podcast. So I do hope you’ll check this episode out and hopefully gain both insight and inspiration for not only why you should express more gratitude through your leadership, but how to get started right now.https://open.spotify.com/episode/0WO0h345XeFwkdsvfo9Tje?si=f5gs-p2bSjqvZB5Vq1V8zw

Episode 64

Wednesday, August 19, 2020 • Duration 08:13

How can leaders overcome those typical assumptions that not only distort what realities their employees have to deal with, but what their employees really need to be successful in their efforts? In this edition of Leadership Espresso Shot, I share 4 questions leaders can use to gain greater clarity in their leadership.The inspiration for this latest episode of my leadership podcast actually came to me while I was on summer vacation with my family. As an avid reader, I like to bring along books that give me a mental break from the usual material I read either to prep for interviews with my guests on my podcast, for developing content for new leadership keynotes or corporate training events, or even to get inspiration for a new piece for my leadership blog.It was while enjoying one of these summer vacation reads that got my mind thinking about how often leaders confuse how they view their leadership as being the same as the experience their employees have under their leadership, a phenomenon I referred to in my first book as “Leadership Vertigo”.So what's this have to do with the picture of the fish bowl above? Well, you're just going to have to listen to this episode to find out, along with learning about these 4 powerful questions that will help improve your ability to succeed at leadership.Now if you aren't familiar with my Leadership Espresso Shots, as the name infers, these are short episodes that are designed to provide listeners with a strong dose of leadership insight to help improve the way you lead.

Episode 63

Wednesday, August 5, 2020 • Duration 25:42

There's been a growing demand for leaders to be more 'human' in the way they lead. While this approach offers many benefits, it also can amplify our inner negativity that leaves us doubting our abilities. So how can leaders balance being more human with overcoming these negative elements that can drag us down?

Her corporate clients have included Live Nation, Ticket Master, AMC, Core Club, Liberty, Ogilvy, and many more.

Just go to https://www.inneru.coach/ and enter the code LEADERSHIPBIZCAFE75 to get discounts and package offers unique for listeners of my podcast (my thanks again to Beth for the kind offer!)Also, as I've written before, what's critical to our ability to continue to put these shows out for you to learn about how to improve your leadership skills is building our audience and getting the word out about our show.
