Bio: Dan Barker is an award-winning leadership expert and Senior HR Business Partner with 20 years of experience, specializing in MBTI, Gallup Strengths, and Change Management. He founded IDA Leadership Lab to drive organizational growth through workshops and chairs the Bonneville Youth Development Coalition, focusing on youth and community development. A member of the Bad River Band of the Ojibwe, Dan advocates for indigenous rights and cultural preservation, enriching his work as a leadership consultant and speaker.Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-barker-mhrm-79719340/ Website: https://idaleadershiplab.com/Quote: "True empathy comes from that ability to put yourself in someone's shoes, not for me to just be able to tell you I understand what it's like."Episode Highlights: Dan shares his unique journey from growing up in Northern Wisconsin and dealing with cultural transitions to becoming a leading figure in leadership development and community advocacy. He highlights the importance of preserving his Native American roots as a member of the Bad River Band of the Ojibwe and integrating those values into his leadership practices. His focus on empathy, progression, and blending diverse cultures and heritages offers invaluable insights for fostering inclusive environments.Childhood Incidents: Dan, a naturally aggressive child, joined football in seventh grade but quit due to the sport's physical demands. His dad encouraged him to view the challenge as a chance for growth. As an adult, Dan recalls the difficulty of moving from Idaho Falls to Boise during junior high, transitioning from a close-knit community to a larger, unfamiliar school, which left him feeling isolated during a critical period.Influential Groups: Having grown up in Idaho, the religious-based culture influenced Dan's view of culture and drew him closer to his indigenous culture. It also opened him up to realizing there's an outsider factor.Cultural Influence: Dan reflects on his family's heritage, emphasizing the importance of both the Kadat and Balange lines. His great-grandmother grew up near the Bad River Reservation on Lake Superior, maintaining a strong Indigenous connection. Dan's mother humorously notes that her grandmother, fluent in Ojibwe, didn't pass it down, possibly due to using it for private conversations among her siblings.Dan married someone from a different culture, and blending their backgrounds was initially challenging. Over time, they successfully merged their cultures, creating unique family traditions and identities.Temperament and Personality: Dan believes that over the years, his empathy and compassion have evolved. He believes that when he was young, he lacked the social awareness to help him develop these two qualities.Cultural Epiphanies: Dan remembers joining Cub Scouts, which was organized by the LDS Church. Meetings were held at homes or churches, often including prayers. At one event, his father noticed Dan folding his arms during prayer, an LDS practice, and corrected him, explaining their family prayed differently. As a child, Dan saw this as a division between "us and them," but as an adult, he understands it reflected cultural differences—his family attended church, just not the LDS Church.Soapbox Moment: Dan's principle is always to leave a place better than you found it. He believes if we do that, it sits well with our environmental factors and how we orient ourselves in the various work that we do and also with our families. He also encourages us to give back to our communities.Support the show

Jennifer has a masters and doctorate from the University of Harvard, where she was the student of professor Bob Keegan whose work on adult development theory formed the basis of Jennifers research. Jennifer is also the author of several books and the reason we've got her on the podcast is to talk about her latest book Changing on the Job which is in its second edition. In this podcast conversation we talk to Jennifer about her latest book, asking her about: What is adult development theory and why is it important in leadership? What are the four forms of mind? Which questions you can ask to uncover which form of mind you are probably operating in currently? What is complexity fitness? How to identify where your team might be operating from today? The role of the ego in adult development theory How do you move towards the self-transforming mindset? Which leaders Jennifer thinks operate from the self-transforming mindset today? Jennifers Leadership Essentials: Get curious about your own sense making. Ask what other possible perspectives can I take and consider in this situation? Actively listen in a more open and curious way. What is causing this person to say and think this way? Take care of your body. How can I get better quality sleep, choose my diet more carefully, and nourish my mind and body?  This conservation was a real privilege, and we are incredibly grateful to Jennifer for giving up her time to join us on the podcast.

Her clients include Google, Microsoft, Novartis, Wikipedia, and Oxfam International. She is the author of four leadership books, including now in it's second edition, Changing on the Job: How Leaders Become Courageous, Wise, and Steady in an Anxious World*. We often think about feedback as something we give to someone else. What if, in addition to that, feedback is an opportunity for both parties to learn and grow. In this conversation, Jennifer and I explore how this can open a door to some of the best leadership work we do. Key Points If we view feedback as only giving our truth to someone else, we've missed a huge opportunity for growth. Start by separating what happened from the interpretation of what happened. Asking Get curious about your own response: what made you react so strongly? Talk it out. You have to welcome someone else into your thinking if you're going to really learn. Invite in how the other person sees the situation. Consider saying, “I'm really interested in what this looked like from your perspective.” The process of unwinding what you hear is the good work of leadership and some the best work you can do.

Connect with Nicolai on LinkedIn Nicolai's book Get ⁠⁠Resilience Assessment⁠⁠ for yourself or your team Key Takeaways: Balance Between Structure and Flexibility: High-performing teams require both structured processes (the cogwheel) and an organic, experimental approach (the flower) to navigate complexity and change. Curiosity, Courage, and Connection: To nurture innovation and resilience, leaders must cultivate curiosity, step into uncertainty with courage, and foster strong connections within their teams. Sustainable High Performance: High performance is not constant—it's the result of effective practice and favorable conditions. Well-being and growth are key components that fuel sustained success. Purpose and Context Matter: A team's purpose defines the type of leadership and approach needed. Leaders should continuously assess the team's current state, the challenges they face, and adapt their leadership accordingly. Quotes: "You can't just lead a team, you need to create space for them to interact, experiment, and grow." "High performance is a result of practice and conditions—it can't be forced or guaranteed." "To nurture a thriving team, you need curiosity, courage, and connection." "Achievement, growth, and well-being reinforce each other and are essential for sustained success."

Meet Carolyn Coughlin, the acclaimed guru of better listening, improved leadership, and navigating the complexities of adult life. As we step into the grown-up world, Carolyn's wisdom becomes invaluable in understanding how meaning-making evolves and shapes our lives. I had the opportunity to sit down with her and ask some pressing questions that have been on my mind. One of the key points we explored was the notion of authenticity and how leaders should embrace it. But what does authenticity even mean? Are there guidelines for balancing authenticity with vulnerability without oversharing? We also delved into the profound impact of language and the choices we make on our interactions and relationships. As a founding partner of Cultivating Leadership and Growth Edge Consulting, Carolyn is renowned for teaching leaders how to achieve 'complexity fitness.' But what exactly does that mean, and how can we thrive in the face of complexity? Carolyn provides valuable insights into what attributes make a good leader and those that should be avoided. Her expertise in adult development—a term that piqued my curiosity—shed light on the transformative journey we undergo as we grow. With moments to spare, I finally reached my intended topic: how to become a better listener—an area where Carolyn's expertise shines and the reason I sought her guidance in the first place. Enjoy!

Mark speaks with Dr. Jennifer Garvey Berger. Dr. Garvey helps CEOs unleash their teams' and organizations' complexity genius. She is the co-founder and CEO of Cultivating Leadership, where they blend deep theoretical knowledge with a driving quest for practical ways to make leaders' lives better. She coaches CEOs and their executive teams and designs and teaches high-end leadership programs. She has written three highly acclaimed books on leadership and complexity. Jennifer's newly released book, Unleash Your Complexity Genius: growing your inner capacity to lead. Dr. Garvey lives in the French countryside, where she bought a house with 11 friends. Putting her expertise and insights into complexity and leadership, they live in a community while focusing on what works and developing more of that while letting go of what doesn't. Jennifer is a coach for CEOs and various high-functioning teams, helping them unleash the power of the collective and how they can all thrive as individuals while working toward common goals. One of the fundamental questions Dr. Berger asks is how do we recognize the complexity and then work with it and harness it in some ways to create the lives we want to lead.    Key Takeaways:   Looking at Patterns to Inform Actions: When we acknowledge that complexity exists within our relationships and the external world, we can lead with that awareness. One of the ways to enact positive change is to notice the patterns are working and focus on how to do more of that, as well as noticing any patterns that don't work and leading our way through complexity together.    Working with Complexity, Not Against It: It is essential to ask how we can work with complexity instead of against it. Using the metaphor of a wave, You can't jump in a wave without getting wet. With the knowledge of the wetness of the wave, then you can ask, how do I work with the waves and do something cool with what's here? This makes any complex problem a different task and, in many ways, much simpler. We need to recognize complexity, work with it, and harness it in some ways to create the lives we want to lead.   Looking at Complexity as a Collective: To address complexities such as environmental concerns, human rights, and global politics it is important to recognize how we, as a collective, function. Once we can see the complexity within the collective, we can start to address how we as a collective can function better and better over time. In relationships, organizations, and communities, it is important to create the conditions for people to build strong bonds and trust one another. When people are bonded and trust each other, they can activate those things that make humans awesome at addressing and acting towards and within complexity.   Leadership and Environment: A leader's job is to amplify the conditions where people can be diverse, individual, imperfect, creative, and energized in the workplace. Leadership is recognizing the individuals and cultivating something unique that each person brings to the group.
