Hello Community! Having a discussion about diversity—by whatever name you choose to call it—is not an option. Your employees, customers, and stakeholders are watching, and in many cases, waiting. You don't have to have all the answers, but you do have to be willing to engage. The most successful organizations are those whose leaders are willing to lean into complexity and seek wisdom from their peers. When companies face industry disruption, they don't rely on gut feelings—they consult advisors, peer groups, and experts to chart a way forward. Why should this conversation be any different? Today we're going to get comfortable with discomfort during our final Real Conversation from the C-Suite with my guests, Leo Bottary, author of the newly released book, Peernovation Second Edition, Forged by CEO Forums, Perfected For Teams, and Jim Roberts, author of the peer-reviewed article, DEI is Dead, Long Live DEI.Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
Hello Community! If you haven't noticed by now, this series of Real Conversations from the C-Suite doesn't feature just another perspective about DEI. It's a series of conversations about leadership—about how to make decisions in an era where taking a stand is unavoidable. If you're in the C-Suite, you don't have the luxury of avoiding this conversation. Your employees, customers, and stakeholders are already having it—with or without you. The question isn't whether you should engage, but how you will lead. Prepare to take notes as you listen in to this Real Conversation from the C-Suite with my guests, Leo Bottary, author of the newly released book, Peernovation Second Edition, Forged by CEO Forums, Perfected For Teams, and Jim Roberts, author of the peer-reviewed article, DEI is Dead, Long Live DEI .Connect with me!Web - https://www.doctoranita.com/YouTube - https://bit.ly/DrAnitaYouTubeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-77695b/
Hello Community! In case you hadn't noticed, DEI is still at a crossroads. Leo Bottary's framework for peer-driven leadership provides a powerful model for engaging CEOs in these complex conversations. His book outlines how the collective wisdom of a trusted peer group can help leaders navigate change, build psychological safety, and create resilient organizations. This is where I want to connect Leo's principles to Jim Roberts' recent article entitled, DEI is Dead; Long Live DEI to explore how we can stand firm on the principle of inclusion in a shifting DEI landscape. Join me for our first Real Conversation from the C-Suite with my guests, Leo Bottary, author of the newly released book, Peernovation Second Edition, Forged by CEO Forums, Perfected For Teams, and Jim Roberts, author of the peer-reviewed article, DEI is Dead, Long Live DEI for an insightful, thought-provoking conversation about the importance of inclusive influence.

Hello Community! April is National Stress Awareness Month, a time dedicated to recognizing and addressing the impact of stress on our daily lives. This focus on awareness aligns with a recent experience I had just a few weeks ago. I have been facilitating conversations about leadership for decades. But nothing could have prepared me for what happened while I was co-facilitating a webinar. We are living in a time of emboldened hostility—a boldness I have never before experienced so directly. So how do we, as leaders, navigate a world where inclusion itself has become a flashpoint? How do we remain committed to progress when the very language of DEI is being stripped away in corporate and public discourse? That's the topic of this month's conversations and I hope you'll join me with a sense of curiosity.

How do peer groups contribute to continuous improvement and shared experiences over time? Leo Bottary is a distinguished authority on peer advisory groups, especially in the context of enhancing the experiences and performance of CEOs. He stresses the importance of selecting peer group members based on psychographic traits such as curiosity, arrogance, and a sense of humor, along with a diversity of industries and experiences, to promote comprehensive learning and growth.

We often talk about the power of peer mentoring and peer coaching, but it's more than just a notion. It's a powerful process for reflection and growth. At each level of the organizational system-of-systems, critical insights can be shared simply by having a conversation. Especially for members of the C-suite, the power of peers can be most effective for exploring different conversations like Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging. This is our first Real Conversation from the C-suite.LinksWeb - https://www.doctoranita.com/podcast-1LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anita-polite-wilson-ph-d-ipec-cpc-77695b/

Are you a fan of any team sports? Perhaps you have already watched one of the NBA games, or maybe a 90-minute football game in FIFA. What do you think makes a champion team? Is it the “superstar” players? Or have you been part of a sports team, a school club, a group project, or volunteer work? Do you remember what it felt like working with a team? The saying “two is better than one” perfectly describes what it means to be in a group. Working together with your peers makes the work more efficient and effective. To top that, collaborating with other individuals gives you different perspectives and ideas that you might never think of yourself. But have you ever wondered how teams effectively work in organizations with thousands of employees? In this episode of People of Purpose, Tanur Badgley had the chance to sit with Leo Bottary, the founder and managing partner of Peernovation, LLC. Leo is the award-winning author of three books, including Peernovation: What Peer Advisory Groups Can Teach Us About Building High Performing Teams (2020).

Today, we discuss how CEOs and other leaders are increasingly longing for ways to overcome the challenges of individuals and teams isolating themselves with a singular focus on their own role, without giving due consideration to the other teams who are also vital to the enterprise. Additionally, top-level leaders are gaining greater awareness that it's their responsibility to provide the psychological safety necessary to foster a high-performance culture. Earlier this month Leo wrote a piece for CEOWorld Magazine entitled, "CEOs Tell Us What Happens in the Learning Zone." It's been about 20 years since Novartis Professor of Leadership at Harvard Business School, Amy Edmondson, first identified the concept of psychological safety and its importance to work teams. On Medium, Leo published an article about the greater effectiveness of the School of Rock versus the classroom where Charlie Brown (of Peanuts) was a student.

Leo is back on the road again. Today he's in Cinncinati, Ohio where he's been addressing some Vistage CEO groups. We catch up to discuss a variety of things on our mind and realize we're producing our "Seinfeld" episode...because today's show doesn't really have a specific theme.

In this episode, Christina Martini and Leo Bottary discuss: The ladder of inference. Being open to other people's ideas and opinions in any group or team. The power of me, the power of we, and the relationship between the two. Seeing teammates as fellow human beings and creating a sense of belonging. Key Takeaways: You can't be a team unless you bridge the gap from me to we. We are capable of doing so much more when we work together. In any team, you matter because nobody but you can bring what you bring to the table. We are not just fellow employees, or teammates. But rather, we are fellow human beings. "When we look at assessments, not only for ourselves, but when we start sharing our results with other people and start looking at theirs, we can start appreciating people's differences as real gifts. They are gifts to the team, that they see the world differently, that they have different talents, that they have different ways of contributing to the team. Because we need one another." — Leo Bottary Connect with Leo Bottary: Website: https://leobottary.com/ (leobottary.com) Show: https://leobottary.com/subscribe-to-podcast/ (leobottary.com/subscribe-to-podcast) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/leobottary (youtube.com/user/leobottary) Twitter: https://twitter.com/leobottary (twitter.com/leobottary) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leobottary (facebook.com/leobottary) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leobottary/ (linkedin.com/in/leobottary) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leobottary/ (instagram.com/leobottary) Books: Peernovation: https://leobottary.com/peernovation/ (leobottary.com/peernovation) What Anyone Can Do: https://leobottary.com/what-anyone-can-do/ (leobottary.com/what-anyone-can-do) The Power of Peers: https://leobottary.com/the-power-of-peers/ (leobottary.com/the-power-of-peers) Connect with Christina Martini: Twitter:https://twitter.com/TinaMartini10?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor ( )https://twitter.com/TinaMartini10?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (@TinaMartini10) Website:http://www.paradigmshiftshow.com/ ( )http://www.paradigmshiftshow.com/ (www.paradigmshiftshow.com) LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinamartini ( )https://www.linkedin.com/in/christinamartini (Christina Martini) Email: christinamartini.paradigmshift@gmail.com Show notes by Podcastologist: Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production byhttps://www.turnkeypodcast.com/ ( )https://www.turnkeypodcast.com/ (Turnkey Podcast Productions.)

In this episode, Christina Martini and Leo Bottary discuss: The power in learning in teams and in conversation. Taking it beyond the book club. Five factors as the fuel of the learning achieving cycle. Taking opportunities that cross your path. Key Takeaways: We learn things more deeply when we learn it together.

Peernovation - the framework, book, and company - is gaining momentum as we emerge from the COVID pandemic. Why? We think it's because our work is effective (and efficient) to build and sustain high-performance cultures in teams, groups, and organizations. Peernovation is also fulfilling an urgent need as teams battle the negative consequences of siloing and seeking self-interests at the expense of the entire organization. In today's show, Leo and Randy discuss how professional peer groups serve as a living lab for elevating team performance by incorporating the five factors of peer advantage. Today is the ideal time to incorporate these lab-learned lessons into your teams in order to lead your organization to new heights of human performance.

Leo Bottary is a seasoned author and an all-rounder when it comes to writing, publishing, and book marketing. Based in California, Leo helps leaders build high performing teams and groups. His latest book, Peernovation, is less than six months old and has received dozens of five-star reviews. Peernovation follows on from Leo's earlier books—What Anyone Can Do, and The Power of Peers—about leveraging the power of peers in business and in life. Peernovation is designed for leaders who want to coach engaged, adaptable, and higher-performing teams. It includes Leo's lessons from more than a decade of academic research, fieldwork, and personal experiences throughout North America and the United Kingdom. Leo joins Published Author Podcast host Josh Steimle to discuss the writing of this book, and everything he has learned about writing and publishing. TOP TAKEAWAY: DON'T OVERTHINK YOUR BOOK, JUST GET STARTED Recognizing that many people who want to write a book don't do a lot of writing, he says: “Oftentimes people feel like the idea of writing a book is just so monumental, and they can't commit to it. If you feel passionate about what you want to write about, no matter how bad, just start writing it. Don't try to overthink it. Just get into it and you'll find your way.” Leo approaches book writing in stages, starting first with an idea or theme. He says it's akin to building a house. “It's like I'm framing a house . . .kind of doing the architecture first before I start moving the furniture in.” With the outline in place, he crafts out the chapters and while doing so he ensures a narrative is in place that tells the overall story in the book. Much of Leo's work is based on research and he had a lot of data to incorporate into his book. For this reason, his writing process can be intense. He notes that: “It's easy to get three quarters of the way through a book and then start losing a little steam, and not feeling that level of rigor about at all.” He handled this by taking breaks and then going back to his book to ensure that he incorporated lessons from his first two books and really paid attention to each chapter, ensuring that it delivered its content in a powerful way. Leo also believes that for books like Peernovation that serve as workshop handbooks or how-to books like Peernovation, it's important to keep the focus firmly on the reader: “Not everyone sits and sits down and reads a book cover to cover. Nor do they read the chapters in order,” notes Leo. “They could read three chapters, and then pick it up two months later. So the way you write it has to accommodate for that.” THE HYBRID PUBLISHING MODEL Leo has pursued mostly self-publishing with his books. And for the most recent book, Peernovation, the publishing model was closer to a hybrid model, through Archway, the self-publishing arm of Simon and Schuster. Leo was satisfied with their service menu, selected what he wanted, and notes that he had a lot of flexibility with the book's editing, title, cover design, release date, and marketing. He's a strong advocate of working with a professional editor who would ensure the book was in APA style and met true publishing standards. BOOK PROMOTION DURING A PANDEMIC Leo has an extensive network, and an email list in the thousands, so he's well-positioned to promote Peernovation during COVID-19. He'll do a virtual media tour which includes radio and podcasts. He has his own podcast on C-Suite Radio. “There are a number of three things across several platforms that I'm doing to just keep the book out there, extend the reach.” Sharing knowledge and empowering people are huge motivators for Leo. To this end, he is pricing his paperback at $12.99 and the ebook at only $3.99. “I'd like for team leaders to see it as incredibly affordable, and say: ‘Great, I'm going to get a book for every one of my team members,” he adds. At the end of the Peernovation, Leo has also included a PDF at the end of Peernovation that people can get access for free, and his website offers free resources, too. Leo says the ideal scenario for his book is that years from now peer innovation will be something that a lot of companies will bring into their organization. “It isn't really about trying to make money from the book, or trying to make a killing in the consulting business or anything like that,” says Leo. “It's really about believing in something, and making sure that I want to get it into people's hands so that they can benefit from themselves.” LINKS Twitter Facebook Instagram Youtube LinkedIn LeoBottary.com SUBSCRIBE TO PUBLISHED AUTHOR PODCAST If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to subscribe.
