When talking about character, it's common to oversimplify its meaning. However, extensive research reveals that it encompasses a multitude of dimensions, incorporating various behaviors within these dimensions. When evaluating a leader's character, it becomes evident that achieving an effective balance across all these dimensions is essential for leadership effectiveness. Dr. Mary Crossan is a Distinguished University Professor and Professor of Strategic Leadership at the Ivey Business School, Western University. In 2021, she was recognized on a global list representing the top two per cent of the most cited scientists in her discipline, and in 2023, she received the life-time career achievement Academy of Management Distinguished Educator award. Her research on leader character, organizational learning and strategic renewal, and improvisation is published in over 100 articles and books. Mary Crossan is co-author of: The Character Compass (October 30, 2023). In this episode, Mary shares how you can exercise the muscles of a leader character exercising all the different dimensions in balance with each other so you get more effective as a leader.

But if I put it another way, if you're going to have a lot of drive, you also need a lot of humanity and temperance in the other dimensions to support it." - Mary Crossan "The work around character not only is around individual development, but it's around organizational transformation." - Mary Crossan "...the culture of an organization will be a reflection of the character of the individuals within it, particularly senior leaders." - Mary Crossan "Part of the way that we would talk about changing culture is, you know, fostering the development of character of the individuals in the organization and then addressing the systems that don't support it." - Mary Crossan Ways to Connect with Mary Crossan: Website: leadercharacterassociates.com Ways to Connect with Sarah E.

Kimberley also offers insights on how we can all cultivate strong character and the role it plays in achieving meaningful success. Questions and Topics: What would you say is your favorite mistake in your career? How did studying Celtic mythology shape your views on leadership? Did you ever imagine your career path leading to academia or university-related centers? How do you define character, and what is character-based leadership? Can people with strong character still make mistakes, and how do they respond? How do you evaluate someone's character when considering a job or a new leader? How much of character is innate versus developed over time? What can contemporary leaders teach us about character-based leadership? How important is it for leaders to consider the legacy they want to leave behind?

Dr. Laura welcomes Dr. Lynn Imai, a Registered Psychotherapist, Clinical Director at Canada Career Counselling, and Assistant Professor of Organizational Behaviour at Ivey Business School, to the show to talk in-depth about careers and career changes. Lynn works at the national psychology practice Dr. Laura founded, and the conversation with Lynn digs into practical and psychological insights, delving into how to change, choose, and assess careers.Dr. Lynn Imai understands the uncertainty that can accompany a major career change as she did one herself, pivoting from being a full-time professor teaching global leadership at a business school to being a registered psychotherapist with a career counselling focus. The expectations, pressures, and anxieties of such a move inform much of how she relates to clients. She and Dr. Laura discuss what not to do when choosing a career and how to manage the worry that comes with navigating a drastic change in one's career. This episode serves as a starting point for anyone who wants to start on a new career path or is just beginning to decide what their career journey will look like. “I do think that the traditional career path [of] climbing the ladder is breaking apart a little bit in society and you see a lot of people taking career breaks or changing their careers, doing nontraditional work, you know, shared work gigs, coming back in from retirement. But what's interesting is, psychologically, people still tie their self-worth to the traditional notions of success, like money, prestige and title and those things. And so a lot of my work is helping them undo what they've learned.” Dr. Lynn ImaiAbout Lynn Imai:Lynn Imai, Ph.D., is a Registered Psychotherapist and Career Counsellor in Toronto. Many of Lynn's clients, when they first come to her, are at a critical point in their lives. They are questioning their careers and asking themselves why they do what they do. They are often feeling unfulfilled, purposeless, and stuck between the pain of staying where they are in their careers, and the pain of dealing with the confusion, overwhelm, stress, and anxiety of figuring out what comes next.Lynn's approach to career counselling draws on psychotherapy, which helps her clients manage difficult emotions and develop deep self-awareness, while at the same time, focusing on making strategic, informed decisions with practical action planning. In addition to career counselling, Lynn provides psychotherapy on personal issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, low confidence & self-esteem, relationships, and interpersonal issues. Lynn draws from a variety of evidence-based psychotherapy modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT).Outside her clinical work, Lynn is a recognized expert on organizational behaviour, workplace effectiveness, culture & diversity, and global leadership. As a former professor at Ivey Business School (Western University), Lynn's research and teaching have focused on how individuals can develop as global leaders in workplace contexts such as cross-cultural negotiations, global virtual teams, and strategy consulting in emerging markets. Lynn's research has appeared in top-tier academic journals, and both her research and teaching have garnered national press coverage.Personally, Lynn is a “third culture kid” who grew up in Japan, the U.S., Canada, and Belgium, and brings a multicultural perspective to therapy. She obtained her Hon. BSc. in Psychology from the University of Toronto—Trinity College, and her M.Psy. in Clinical and Counselling Psychology from Adler Graduate Professional School. Lynn also has graduate degrees in Industrial/Organizational Psychology from the University of Maryland—College Park.Resources:Website: CanadaCareerCounselling.comLynn Imai on LinkedInLynn Imai at Ivey Business School“Evolution to Purpose: Choosing a Life of Authenticity with Work” by Bryan Hong PhDThe Happiness Lab podcastLearn more about Dr. Laura on her website: https://drlaura.liveFor more resources, look into Dr. Laura's organizations: Canada Career CounsellingSynthesis Psychology

Recognized on the global list of the top 2% of the most cited scientists in her discipline in 2021, Mary received the Lifetime Career Achievement Academy of Management Distinguished Educator Award in 2023. Her research includes leadership character, organizational learning, strategic renewal, and improvisation. A prolific author, Mary has contributed to over 100 articles and books and is the co-author of The Character Compass. In this episode… Is “character” a mere buzzword, or does it hold tangible value for those in leadership positions? Cultivating a specific set of behaviors can improve your personal effectiveness and enhance your team's performance and commitment. How can you define and develop your character to uplevel your organization? According to leadership researcher Mary Crossan, leaders must develop and hone 11 character disciplines, including integrity, humility, and courage, to empower their companies. Each discipline holds a set of behaviors that leaders can self-assess to identify strengths and weaknesses. By promoting a culture that nurtures and rewards positive characteristics and reflecting daily on actions and behaviors, you can increase employee engagement and satisfaction. In the latest episode of the Lead Like a Woman Show, Andrea Heuston sits down with Mary Crossan, the Co-founder of Leader Character Associates, to talk about developing leader character. Mary discusses The Character Compass, an innovative approach to shaping leadership character, and explains the implications of character on organizational culture, performance, and commitment.
Melissa Sariffodeen contends learning requires unlearning, ponders human-AI relationships, prioritizes outcomes over outputs, and values the disquiet of constructive critique. Melissa artfully illustrates barriers to innovation through the eyes of a child learning to code and a seasoned driver learning to not drive. Drawing on decades of experience teaching technical skills, she identifies why AI creates new challenges for upskilling. Kimberly and Melissa then debate viewing AI systems through the lens of tools vs. relationships. An avowed lifelong learner, Melissa believes prior learnings are sometimes detrimental to innovation. Melissa therefore advocates for unlearning as a key step in unlocking growth. She also proposes a new model for organizational learning and development. A pragmatic tech optimist, Melissa acknowledges the messy middle and reaffirms the importance of diversity and critically questioning our beliefs and habits.Melissa Sariffodeen is the founder of the The Digital Potential Lab, co-founder and CEO of Canada Learning Code and a Professor at the Ivey Business School at Western University where she focuses on the management of information and communication technologies.A transcript of this episode is here.

By far the biggest part of the federal budget is an ambitious plan that the Liberal government claims will not only hit the targeted estimate of homes Canada needs, but will blow right past it. You'd be forgiven some skepticism, since the Prime Minister stated less than a year ago that housing "isn't a primary federal responsibility." A lot has changed since then, especially the government's polling numbers.But politics aside, what's in this plan? How exactly does the government think it can hit its targets? What does one of the country's leading housing policy analysts think of those solutions? What's in this plan that will or won't solve the housing crisis in the next decade? And what's in it to help people afford homes right now?GUEST: Mike Moffatt, Senior Director of Policy and Innovation at the Smart Prosperity Institute; Assistant Professor in the Business, Economics and Public Policy group at Ivey Business School, Western University We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

As global awareness of issues like deforestation, ocean pollution and extreme weather events grows, consumers are looking for more ways to reduce their environmental impact. While businesses are quick to capitalize on the trend, it doesn't necessarily mean their products actually fit the bill. "Canadians want to find and support genuine eco products, but there are companies that are tricking and lying to us. It is shocking and we need to do a lot more," says Wren Montgomery, Associate Professor of Sustainability, The Ivey Business School at Western University. From misleading claims to exaggerated eco-friendly initiatives, greenwashing is a prevalent issue in today's consumer landscape. "There is no universal environmental standard. This really is the problem, even for companies who are doing the right thing," concludes Montgomery. On this episode of The Big Blue Marble Podcast, we reveal how complex greenwashing has become, what you can you do about it and uncover what is means for consumers and the environment in the long run.

He is the founding director of the PLACE Centre at the Smart Prosperity Institute, and an assistant professor at Western University's Ivey Business School.

Privatizações tendem a melhorar a eficiência dos serviços para a população e a baixar os preços cobrados, mas para que sejam bem-sucedidas é preciso que os governos trabalhem em prol do modelo. “É preciso ter funcionários públicos técnicos, que entendam e saibam formular políticas. A área pública tem que ter um compromisso público mais ou menos estável“, diz Sérgio Lazzarini, autor do livro A Privatização Certa: Por que as empresas privadas em iniciativas públicas precisam de governos capazes. Segundo Lazzarini, é importante encontrar políticos que estejam dispostos a respeitar o livre mercado, sem usar a mão pesada do Estado. “Temos aqui uma boa e uma má notícia. A má é que é extremamente difícil encontrar esses governos. A boa é que esses governos existem.” Pesquisador sênior da Cátedra Chafi Haddad de Administração do Insper, fundador do Insper Metricis e professor da Ivey Business School, Western University, Lazzarini comentou no Crusoé Entrevistas as críticas do governo petista à recém-privatizada Eletrobras. Lazzarini acredita que foi positiva a diluição das ações que estavam em nome do Estado com a formação de uma corporation, com votos mais distribuídos. “Isso é algo que infelizmente este governo atual quer mudar. Infelizmente o governo atual tem essa perspectiva de querer manter essa interferência no setor privado.

Canada's housing crisis is bad and getting worse, and a huge part of it is a lack of rental units in major cities. Every government has its own proposed solutions, but none of them work without the others.A detailed report last week outlines ways that every level, from federal to municipal, can work together to speed up the process, eliminate lengthy delays and actually get shovels in the ground. The only catch is it requires everybody in power to get on the same page. How likely is that? And what happens if they can't?GUEST: Dr. Mike Moffatt, co-author of A Multi-Sector Approach to Ending Canada's Rental Housing Crisis; Assistant Professor in Business, Economics, and Public Policy at Ivey Business School, Western University; Senior Director of Policy at the University of Ottawa's Smart Prosperity Institute
