In this episode, Bob’nJoyce muse about the paradox of being 'all in.' With the world in disarray, many consider withdrawing and checking out but more often than not end up choosing engagement and purpose.
\n\nSo what is going on here? Being all in requires discipline and commitment to weather the tough patches. There is an expression that most of us start with the best of intentions and then life gets in the way. Well Joyce and I have been thrown a lot of life’s curveballs and we are still ‘all in’ on doing this work together. Join us to find out why we think this is so.

In this episode, Bob’nJoyce share thought-provoking question for leaders and HR/OD practitioners. Some questions come from Gallup consulting, and the rest from Joyce’s own writings. Asking a powerful question is a valuable tool for providing insights, shifting perspectives (in a good way), and revealing blind spots. They can also irritate the dickens out of you.
\n\nCome join us as we rift on each and provide our thoughts on where and when to use them. We blend humor, a bit of sarcasm, and brilliant insights that will make you both smile and grimace.
\n\nSpoiler Alert!!!! Here is the list of Joyce's touchstone Leadership Questions:
\n\n— Would you do the same job for half the salary?
\n— Do you have something preposterously important you want to get done?
\n— Do you think about ‘better’ or ‘different’?
\n— Do you look forward to developing, thinking with, being demanding of,
\ninfusing with enthusiasm, your direct reports?
\n— Does the idea of contact with the core of your business excite you or
\nbore you?
\n—Do you take reality into serious consideration but not bow to it?
\n—When people see you coming, do they want to do good work and after you leave, do they want to do their best work?
\n— Do you often realize that you owe your privileged role to every person in your company and does it make you determined to make them proud of you?
Some of these I know grabed your attention and interest so...

In this episode, Bob’nJoyce muse over the new order that is emerging from the chaos of Covid. We, as a society, are in a tectonic shift that demarcates before and after resulting from the many pivots that organizations and individuals have been forced to make. How work gets done, where it happens, and what we value most are all conversations that need to happen. It requires pausing to assess and act on recalibrating past norms and practices – not an easy thing to do.
\n\nToday’s episode punctuates the opportunity that lies before every leader, and OD/HR professional to answer the question, “What goes and what stays given our current reality.” The failure to ask these questions assures that the status quo remains, and that is a recipe a company’s demise.

In this episode, Bob 'n Joyce share how the use of guided imagery helped kick off a profound culture shift in the Hannaford Supermarkets of New England.
\n\nThey discuss:
\n\na specific script of a guided imagery they used with large groups of food retailers to initiate the co-creation of a vision introduced by the new CEO
Talk about how a radical method worked and why the CEO was bold enough to give it a try
How the use of large groups of up to 350 people managed to be productive and galvanizing (involving over 2500 people!)
Bob’N Joyce discuss the pervasive issue of employee and organizational burnout. Once a taboo topic, the pandemic has exposed that it is a real condition, that left unaddressed, devastates individuals, teams, and entire organizations. Rethink the responsibilities of employers to their employees amidst changing priorities. Discover how employers can promote resilience.
\n\nIn this episode, we cover:
\n\n• The role HR/OD plays in confronting burnout
\n• Helpful tips on how to detect burnout
\n• Actions to take when you are in burn out
\n• Interventions to expose and heal organizational burnout
OD practitioners wear a lot of hats. In this episode, Bob’nJoyce sort through these many hats using the Global OD Model developed by ODN. This model defines the discipline of organizational development and assesses areas for professional development.
\n\nWe discussed:
\n• The multi-faceted work of an OD professional working inside a company and the richness of the work as well as the complexity of the many hats worn when working inside.
\n• The work we have done that fits under each segment of the Global OD Model to show the benefit of having a model that provides grounding for both the OD leader and the company
\n• The benefit of the model to serve as a kind of “you are here” map that helps both the practitioner and the company to understand the work and give context.
Turnabout is fair play. In this episode, Bob’n Joyce discuss common OD/HR leadership flaws and their unintended consequences. HR/OD professionals, like CEO’s, are human and, as a result, imperfect. We all possess flaws that, if left unattended, diminish our impact.
\n\nHere are a few of the common flaws we discuss:
\n\n• Acting too small when what is needed is big
\n• Going too bold, too far, too soon before ‘massaging it” into the system
\n• Over-owning what is, and the self-imposed demand to solve
\n• OD/HR speak/language that loses and/or turns off others in the process
\n• Knowing when to fold your hand and leave
You get it, we, Joyce and Me, have many flaws. Let’s celebrate our humanity!

\n\nIn this episode, we revisited Kathy’s time at Hannaford as the head of HR and the powerful force she was that transformed HR and the company. If you worked with Kathy, our hope is that this podcast rekindles your own fond memories. If you didn’t know Kathy, we hope you enjoy the lessons of the early transition of HR becoming a strategic partner at the C-suite table.
","summary":"In this episode, we remember our friend and former boss, Kathy Greenleaf. It was not our intention to have our first episode be a tribute to Kathy but it is because we promised we’d keep it real. Kathy died unexpectedly on December 3rd and her passing weighed heavily on us as we met to record this podcast.
