How well do you juggle priorities during a crisis? Learn from executive business coach and mentor Jill Maidment as we explore effective time management, assessing and prioritizing tasks, and aligning daily activities with key objectives. Drawing on the wisdom of Steven Covey, we emphasize the need to schedule priorities rather than simply prioritizing what's already on our schedules. Navigating the challenges of hybrid work, managing hybrid meetings, and building resilience in the workplace is crucial. Embracing flexibility, having regular check-ins with colleagues, and delegation to remain productive and efficient in day-to-day life. Tune in for valuable insights for leaders and employees alike as we tackle these topics and more with Jill Maidment.

When was the last time you challenged your perspectives and it made you feel like you were looking at the world in a new light? Paul Daniels, our guest today, has coined this practice ‘peripheral thinking’, and uses it daily in business and in life to tap into a never-ending well of inspiration, innovation, and creativity.  

In today’s show, one of the first things Paul will do is guide us through an exercise so we can start shedding our preconceived outlooks and learn to shift our points of view on the spot. Furthermore, Paul will explain how we can access peripheral thinking not only in ourselves but in people and places we never would have expected could inspire us to innovate and grow. 

 Paul Daniels firmly believes that the solution to the challenges you’re facing at this moment already exists. Finding them depends on how and where you’re looking. He will demonstrate with real-life examples how companies have transformed their operations and increased their revenue thanks to ideas that appeared in unexpected places and times – ideas that are readily accessible to whoever encounters them with an open mind and a curious nature.   

- [00:05:23] Paul explains peripheral thinking (guided exercise)

 - [00:19:50] The six C’s of the interpreting skill  

- [00:27:19] Sources to populate your peripheral library

- [00:45:31] Tamar asks her quintessential final question 

 “There are more answers than questions. There are more paths than problems. There are more choices and challenges and more opportunities than obstacles when you know where and how to look.” Paul Daniels The COO’s Corner, Episode 13.

In this episode of the COO’s Corner, Tamar brings on Josh Greco, an expert and business coach with a passion for developing people professionally, personally, and spiritually.

Josh will challenge companies to think about where there’s room for growth because he firmly stands by the idea that improvement is possible for everyone, everywhere.

It's in the same category as all the other fear, we just don't have that perspective yet to overcome it. That's how you overcome it, is you lean into it, and you study it, and you think about it, and you inevitably come up with another way, and that's gratifying to me.”

Over the years, we’ve been able to witness how the ever-changing nature of the digital economy has transformed the workplace and the way people participate in it. The pandemic only accelerated this transformation.

Because a considerable fraction of the workforce had to exchange the office for a work-from-home environment, a large portion of daily activities were now pushed to take place in a virtual landscape.

Processes are coordinated and implemented effortlessly, and the company as a whole runs smoothly like a well-oiled machine. Whether product or service, from design to launch you can sense a commitment to quality in every person involved.

However, oftentimes companies write off QMS implementation trying to cut down on expenditures, but this can actually prove to be more costly in the long run. On the other hand, some companies find that implementing a QMS ends up being more of an efficiency hindrance with complex processes and procedures. Implementing the right QMS in the right way is unique to every organization, but what they all have in common is it requires keeping things simple, which is ironically no easy task.

Luckily, on today’s episode of The COO’s Corner we bring on Kathy Walsh, a subject matter expert to guide us through this issue. Kathy is a specialist and thought leader on quality culture and argues this can only be achieved by making the complex simple. Kathy will explain why quality represents the brains of any organization. She will offer guidance on how to correctly implement a QMS, and how to overcome the common challenges that companies face during the process.

- [00:09:12] Risks businesses face without a QMS system

- [00:11:55] Overcoming common QMS implementation challenges

- [00:16:40] Ensuring quality in every step of the process

- [00:21:32] Avoid this mistake during QMS implementation

- [00:24:59] Pinpointing the right size QMS for your organization

- [0028:51] Tamar asks her quintessential final question

Kathy is passionate about using Plain Language writing to increase productivity and reduce errors arising from documentation.

Hyper-growth – a stage as exciting as it is demanding which all companies and businesses strive to get to.

My guest today is an expert and advisor on just that. With a background in engineering, Karen Walker shares her wisdom on some of the most indispensable processes, systems, and capabilities that organizations need to have to not only survive but thrive in hyper-growth.

Karen explains that the trials companies face entering hyper-growth are not just limited to the obvious, such as overcoming technical obstacles in a fast-paced environment or constantly having to refine standard operating procedures.

Join us as our guest sheds some light on the importance of the intangible yet very impactful issues that also define if a company is to be successful in hyper-growth.

We’ll discuss sense of purpose, employee engagement, cultivating the right culture, and other human aspects in the enterprise world that organizations can’t afford to ignore if their goal is to thrive in hyper-growth – especially during The Great Resignation.

- [00:03:33] What is hyper-growth?

- [00:06:06] Why companies struggle with hyper-growth

- [00:07:51] What skills does hyper-growth require?

- [00:10:17] Managing hypergrowth (how to be “directionally correct”)

- [00:13:27] Alignment – staying on course in hyper-growth

- [00:18:29] How to improve retention during The Great Resignation

- [00:22:10] What are the leading organizations doing to ensure retention?

- [00:31:15] The importance of culture in organizations

- [00:36:23] Tamar asks her quintessential final question

“People, in general, will be more productive when they're not just working on time when they're working on outcomes. Nobody gets up in the morning and says, “I'm excited to work eight hours today.” People get up and say, “I'm excited to create X or to provide service Y,” or whatever it is that they're doing.”

Almost everyone has a story to share about a toxic leader – someone who was arrogant, aggressive, or for some reason, just unpleasant to work with.

Although some toxic behaviors may be too subtle to identify at first, one thing is certain: stress caused by this leadership approach can take a toll not only on the productivity of organizations, but on the physical and mental wellbeing of the individuals belonging to them as well.

In this episode, our guest, Jeffrey Custer, delve deep into this issue: toxic leadership. He will provide insights on how to recognize these behaviors, where they come from, and what to do about them – because, as Jeffrey urges, we can all make a difference in the way we show up. Join us as we cover the following points:

- [00:03:50] What is toxicity?

- [00:07:21] Underlying reasons for toxic behaviors

- [00:11:10] What triggers toxic behaviors?

- [00:14:28] How to give feedback effectively (Jeffrey’s thumb rule)

- [00:22:18] How to set leaders up for success

- [00:34:23] What can you do about toxicity in your workplace?

- [00:37:45] Lessons and challenges from working remotely

- [00:43:06] Behaviors of a high functioning team (the “dream team”)

- [00:48:53] Tamar asks her quintessential question

“I encourage leaders to not lose hope. Within their division, they can do almost everything that we've been talking about. While they may not be able to change their whole organization, they can make a difference in that group.”
