The greatest ideas may well be locked in the minds of brilliant people who are too afraid to tell the world about them. This is likely true of countless people, in countless places, and particularly at work. Our guest today believes that by making our teams feel safe and respected, we can create an environment in which they feel empowered to share even the bravest of their thoughts, sparking creative breakthroughs.
Anni Townend is a leadership partner, facilitator, coach and author, who is passionate about unlocking the power of skilful conversation, where everyone feels included, valued and heard. Along with her colleague Lucy Kid, she co-created a leadership framework called the Collaboration Equation which guides teams and leaders to find their “collaborative edge”. Anni is also the host of the Leaders in Conversation podcast and specialises in helping senior leaders and their teams create safe environments - where meaningful and courageous conversations can happen freely.
In this episode, Anni explores how true business magic can only happen when we feel secure and cared for. She discusses how sharing something personal, recent and relevant sparks curiosity and opens up deeper conversations within teams. And she explains why conflict in the workplace should not be eliminated, but rather encouraged, in the service of creativity.
