The Human Element in Leadership
In this episode, Lisa L. Levy sits down with Ted Whetstone, strategic thought partner and executive coach, to unpack the human element in leadership and change management.
Ted explores why the true value in any organization lies in its people, not just its processes, and why most change efforts fail when leaders impose instead of invite. He explains the critical difference between commitment to outcomes and attachment to specific ideas, and how that shift opens the door to participation, innovation, and shared ownership.
Along the way, Ted dives into vulnerability, communication, and the entrepreneurial journey, and introduces the powerful concept of being the “product of your product” — the transformation of humanity within the workplace.
