Stew Friedman est un psychologue organisationnel, professeur à la Wharton School, est un expert du leadership et auteur de l'ouvrage et de la méthode de "Total Leadership." Le livre viet d'être traduit en français par Wafaa Amal & Manu Da Silva.Ensemble, nous explorons comment cette approche permet aux leaders d'harmoniser vie personnelle et professionnelle, dans un monde où l'adaptabilité et l'authenticité sont plus que jamais nécessaires. Je pense que la santé mentale des leaders n'est pas assez adressée et il est évident que leur harmonie de vie est généralement très discutable.Comme il me l'explique ""La véritable richesse se trouve dans l'harmonie entre travail, famille, communauté et soi."Je questionne Stew sur les qualités essentielles pour devenir un leader aujourd'hui, sur l'importance de la connaissance de soi, de la gestion de la famille et de la communauté, et sur la manière dont les entreprises peuvent bénéficier de leaders qui valorisent la totalité de leur vie.Stew partage également les outils qu'il a développé pour aider chacun à clarifier ses valeurs, élaborer une vision personnelle et incarner un leadership inclusif et authentique. Il nous parle de son expérience auprès d'organisations comme Ford, où son modèle a transformé le leadership en intégrant la personne dans son entièreté, bien au-delà du seul rôle professionnel. Pour ceux qui aspirent à un leadership qui dépasse la simple accumulation de pouvoir et de richesse, cet échange offre une perspective rafraîchissante et des conseils précieux.Les questions que l'on aborde :Quelle est la différence fondamentale entre un manager et un leader ?Pourquoi pensez-vous qu'il est essentiel d'avoir plus de leaders que de managers aujourd'hui ?Comment chaque individu peut-il cultiver ses compétences de leadership ?Pourquoi la notion d'équilibre de vie n'a pas vraiment de sens? Quelles qualités sont essentielles chez les leaders du 21e siècle ?Comment la digitalisation et la complexité croissante ont-elles influencé le leadership ?Pourriez-vous expliquer le concept de "Total Leadership" ?Comment répartir l'attention entre les domaines du travail, de la famille, de la communauté et de soi-même ?Quelle est la place du bien-être personnel dans l'efficacité d'un leader ?Comment le Total Leadership peut-il contribuer à l'engagement et à la satisfaction des employés ?Comment définissez-vous la réussite ou le succès dans votre approche de leadership ?

He was listed among HR Magazine's most influential thought leaders, chosen by Working Mother as one of America's most influential men who have made life better for working parents, and presented with the Families and Work Institute's Work Life Legacy Award. While on leave from Wharton for two-and-a-half years, Friedman ran a 50-person department as the senior executive for leadership development at Ford Motor Company. In partnership with the CEO, he launched a corporate-wide portfolio of initiatives designed to transform Ford's culture; 2500+ managers per year participated.  Near the end of his tenure at Ford, an independent research group (ICEDR) said the LDC was a “global benchmark” for leadership development programs.  At Ford, he created Total Leadership, which has been a popular Wharton course since 2001 and is used by individuals and companies worldwide, including as a primary intervention in a multi-year study funded by the National Institutes of Health on improving the careers and lives of women in medicine and by 135,000+ students in Friedman's first MOOC on Coursera.  Participants in this program complete an intensive series of challenging exercises that increase their leadership capacity, performance, and well-being in all parts of life, while working in high-involvement peer-to-peer coaching relationships. His research is widely cited, including among Harvard Business Review‘s “Ideas that Shaped Management,” and he has written two bestselling books, Total Leadership: Be a Better Leader, Have a Richer Life (2008) and Leading the Life You Want: Skills for Integrating Work and Life (2014), now being taught as a MOOC on Coursera. His third Harvard Business Press book was Parents Who Lead: The Leadership Approach You Need to Parent with Purpose, Fuel Your Career, and Create a Richer Life (2020). In 2024, The Wharton School Press published a new edition of his landmark study of two generations of Wharton students, Baby Bust, 10th Anniversary Edition: New Choices for Men and Women in Work and Family.  Work and Family – Allies or Enemies? (2000) was recognized by the Wall Street Journal as one of the field's best books.  In Integrating Work and Life: The Wharton Resource Guide (1998) Stew edited the first collection of learning tools for building leadership skills for integrating work and life. Winner of many teaching awards, he appears regularly in business media (The New York Times cited the “rock star adorati...

Stefanie Johnson is an associate professor at the University of Colorado Boulder’s Leeds School of Business and her new book is Inclusify: The Power of Uniqueness and Belonging to Build Innovative Teams. Professor Johnson studies the intersection of leadership and diversity, focusing on how unconscious bias affects the evaluation of leaders and on strategies that leaders can use to mitigate bias. She draws on her own experience as a Latina who grew up poor to inform her research. She is a member of the MG 100 Coaches, was selected for the 2020 Thinkers50 Radar List, and has presented her work at over 170 meetings around the world, including at the White House for a 2016 summit on diversity in corporate America on National Equal Pay Day.In this episode, Stew and Stefanie talk about how she has evolved in her thoughts and feelings about what it takes to create cultures that both celebrate individual differences and build a sense of belonging among members. Stefanie draws an important distinction between “diversity” and “inclusion” and she describes the various styles of leadership as they relate to the challenge of leading diverse, inclusive organizations. Based on her extensive research, Stefanie offers suggestions for what leaders at all levels can do to overcome the hurdles that stand in the way of inclusifying work organizations.

Since 2014, Karl has hosted the CEO Series, a weekly program on Bellmedia’s C-J-A-D, where he interviews leaders one-on-one. He has been blogging for Forbes for eight years. In this episode, Stew and Karl discuss his forthcoming book, We’re All Ambiverts Now. They explore the tendencies we have to express either introversion or extroversion and how, in order to be effective as leaders, we have to learn to sometimes act in a way that’s inconsistent with our natural inclinations. But to do so can be exhausting, so it’s useful to take account of the costs of acting like an extrovert if you’re an introvert, and vice versa, and to then do something to rejuvenate and restore yourself following such episodes in your daily life. Here then is an invitation, a challenge, for you, once you’ve listened to the conversation. If you’re an extrovert, what introvert-like action might you try taking that you expect would help you be more effective either at work or at home? And, if you’re an introvert, what extravert-like action might you try taking that you expect would help you be more effective at work or at home? What do you discover, especially about how it feels to try to act in a way that’s counter to your natural tendency and the impact of your doing so?

Dr. David Smith is co-author of the forthcoming book Good Guys: How Men Can Be Better Allies for Women in the Workplace. David is an Associate Professor of Sociology in the College of Leadership and Ethics at the U.S. Naval War College. His previous book, Athena Rising: How and Why Men Should Mentor Women, was named one of 25 books everyone should read by Inc. Magazine and TED Speakers when it was published in 2016. A former Navy pilot, Dr. Smith led diverse organizations of women and men culminating in command of a squadron in combat and flew more than 3,000 hours over 30 years including combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a sociologist trained in military sociology and social psychology, he focuses his research in gender, work, and family issues including gender bias in performance evaluations, dual career families, military families, women in the military, and retention of women. In this episode, Stew and David talk about the various ways men can, and must, step up to help make our workplaces and our society more conducive to equal pay for equal work for women. Despite the many gains women have made in the workplace, there remains a pernicious pay gap and the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the sorry fact that women are still doing what Arlie Hochschild decades ago called the “second shift” -- childcare and household work above and beyond their paid work outside the home. In this conversation about Good Guys, David explains why it’s in all our interests for this to change and he offers practical guidance for how men can overcome resistance to making it happen. Here’s an invitation, my dear gentlemen, a challenge for you to consider, after you’ve listened to this episode and learned more about what it takes to be an ally. Find an opportunity in the next day or so to inquire of a woman in your life -- just ask and listen, that is -- about inequities she has experienced or seen. What do you discover?

As so many are confined with family members or other housemates during the pandemic, conflicts about childcare, work schedules, household chores, and other issues have risen to the fore. Tools for breaking through conflict are needed now more than ever. Jennifer illustrates how her research helps people find pattern-breaking avenues including by focusing, for example, on shared values.

The challenge of work-life integration has moved from being a quality-of-life issue to a preservation-of-life necessity as we all find ourselves suddenly working from home. This interview with Stew Friedman was recorded in February 2020, in concert with the publication of Parents Who Lead: The Leadership Approach You Need to Parent with Purpose, Fuel Your Career, and Lead a Richer Life.

Working parents are pulled in so many directions that it’s easy to feel like you’re failing at everything. But when we apply leadership principles and skills across all aspects of our lives – at work, at home, in our community, and to ourselves – our relationships flourish and our lives do, too. The key is to develop a leader’s mentality, say Stew Friedman and Alyssa Westring. Stew is an award-winning organizational psychologist at The Wharton School of Business and founding director of the Wharton Leadership Program and its Work/Life Integration Project. Alyssa is an associate professor of management at DePaul University and the director of research at Total Leadership.

An integrated life sounds like an impossible dream in our fast-paced digital age. But there are outstanding leaders in the field of management and personal development who are helping us navigate the confusing path we face. One of those pioneers and guides is Stewart Friedman. Stew was one of my professors when I attended the Wharton School and he continues to astound me with the relevant and impacting work he’s doing to help us understand what goes into being a true master of leadership. In this episode, we discuss the concepts in his most recent books and get a taste of the tremendous difference the principles of Total Leadership he’s discovered are making in the lives of real leaders in real business environments - and in the lives of those who they lead. What can you do that creates value for our business, your family, your community, and yourself? One of the primary questions Stew has learned to ask all of his students - and that he teaches leaders of companies to ask their team members is this: “What can you do that creates value for the business, your family, your community, and yourself?” It may sound like a strange question for business leaders to be asking but Stew has discovered that every person is able to come up with an answer that fulfills all 4 aspects of the question - and when they clearly define their answer and begin applying it, everyone involved benefits in amazing ways. Listen to this episode of Masters of Leadership to hear some of the stories Stew tells, and learn how you can do your own self-assessments related to these areas. 3 principles of an integrated life: be real, be whole, be innovative Whether you consider yourself a leader or not, it’s important that you learn what it means to live in an integrated way. Stew Friedman has pioneered work that redefines what it means to be a leader in the modern era and is helping leaders and team members all over the world learn to be real, whole, and innovative - all at the same time. In this conversation, Stew and I discuss how those three elements make up an integrated life, the kinds of results that come from doing so, and why he believes that leaders across the globe need to learn how to live out these three qualities more successfully. MYTH: You have to sacrifice important things to be successful It’s become a common belief among career-minded individuals that in order to be truly successful there are important things that have to be sacrificed, at least for short periods of time. But Stew Friedman is progressively demonstrating that those kinds of beliefs are more myth than reality. Those who are careful to focus on three primary areas - authenticity, wholeness (body, mind, soul) and innovation actually do better at accomplishing their professional goals than others and are happier in the process. Find out what Stew has seen by listening to this episode, or grab a copy of his latest book, “Total Leadership.” If a leader lives an integrated life, she builds incredible trust with her team One of the most powerful aspects of living an integrated life is that it’s done in a transparent way, for everyone to see. That means that leaders of this kind not only talk about living and working in a certain manner, they demonstrate it to those they lead. This builds incredible trust for the leader and enables the team to maintain a level of synergy and collaboration that isn’t typical for business teams - and it all beings with the leader. Stew Friedman has pioneered the work in this area so be sure you listen to my conversation with him and find out how you can do your own self-assessment, both for your personal life and for your leadership, on this episode.

Stew Friedman talks with Sam Calagione, Founder and CEO of Dogfish Head Craft Brewery and author of Off Centered Leadership. Fast Company named Sam one of The 100 Most Creative People in Business and The Wall Street Journal calls him “a pioneer of bizarre brews”. Stew and Sam discuss the unique culture he created at Dogfish emphasizing non-conformity, collaboration, and creativity. Show Notes (times when new topics start) 2:00. The off centered leadership style. At its start, Dogfish Head put an off centered spin on beer recipes to compete with the large brewers. That led Sam and Dogfish Head employees to embrace an off centered style of working. 5:05. Dogfish company culture. Dogfish champions creativity and self-expression. Sam takes beer seriously, but not himself. 7:25. Hiring at Dogfish. Sam is careful to hire people who will add creativity and authenticity to the Dogfish’s culture, not just people with the right technical skills. 9:40. Work/Life harmony at Dogfish. Sam founded Dogfish in 1995. The company has helped him find harmony among the different parts of his life. A key to Sam’s success in doing so is his ability to find roles in which he is both skilled and happy and to hire people to take on the other stuff. 19:05. The Dogfish brand. Sam draws on his interest in poetry, philosophy, and art to craft the Dogfish brand. This interest lead Sam to partner with other artistic organizations (like vinyl record stores). 22:15. Staying true to yourself. Sam doesn’t “let the tail of money wag the dog of inspiration.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode of the Work-Life Equation, we revisit a webinar about new perspectives on old ideas on work-life balance. Our guest, Stew Friedman, Director of the Work/Life Integration Project at Wharton, discussed his book Leading the Life You Want: Skills for Integrating Work and Life, which guides working parents through an exploration of the most important areas of their lives and through strategies to harmonize those areas for meaningful work-life integration.

Stew Friedman talks to Maurice Schweitzer about his research from "Friend and Foe".

In this episode you are going to learn about Stew Friedman, Wharton professor, adviser to leaders across the globe, and passionate advocate of replacing the misguided metaphor of “work/life balance”.

Back in Episode 65, we talked about Strategic Simple Living and shared a few great tools you can use to plan your simple living strategy. Specifically, we used the 4 Direction Ideation Tool of Looking Outward/Inward/Backward/Forward as lenses for developing your strategy. We shared how we used this tool when downsizing for trying to find the perfect area for us to live. But when we came to a decision point, we used a different framework for evaluating our final choice...and actually choosing where we're moving to. So, armed with all we learned from the 4 Direction Ideation Tool process, we did our final analysis through the lenses of the 4 major areas of our life: Home, Work, Community, and Self.  And yep, we're moving! We don't have a hard and fast timeline yet, but we actually put our money where our collective mouth is and bought a lot to build on! Read More... Topic:  4 Critical Areas You Need to Consider When Downsizing Background So there are 4 critical areas you need to consider when downsizing, moving, simplifying, or making any other major change in life if you want to achieve and maintain some kind of congruence. They are Home, Work, Community, and Self. I borrowed and tweaked some definitions for these from a course I took through Wharton taught by Stew Friedman. But the true key is that you need to define these areas for yourself. What works for you might be completely different from what works for us and that’s fine. Again, the goal is to achieve some congruity between these areas and create what Dr Friedman calls “4 Way Wins.” A 4 Way Win is an activity that has a positive impact on each of the four major areas of your life. Again, those are Home, Work, Community, and Self. Example Continuing on with our example of looking for the ideal place for us to live, you can listen in to the episode and hear how we looked at those 4 critical life areas and how they impacted our downsizing efforts and our simplicity journey. So the big announcement for us is that we're moving to East Aurora, New York. Yeah...we know...we're the family that is actually moving TO the Buffalo, NY area! But we know exactly what we're getting into! I'm from Buffalo and it'll be great to get back there after 31 years away, and living all over the world. And the little village of East Aurora embodies so much of what we're looking for in a small town community. If you listen back to Episode 65 you'll be amazed at what we said we were looking for, and what East Aurora has to offer. All except "mild winters," that is!
