Courageous Leadership and Creative Self-Disruption in SalesJoin host Karen Kelly in this enlightening episode of the K2 sales podcast as she converses with Bernadette McClelland on navigating 2024's economic landscape with courage and self-disruption. Bernadette introduces her three-step 'deliberate disruption model' - identity, intention, and iteration - urging sales leaders to inspire their teams by embracing discomfort and an anti-fragile mindset. They emphasize the importance of aligning one's head, heart, and gut to thrive in today's brittle, anxious, non-linear, and incomprehensible world. Listen as they discuss practical strategies for living in the present, enhancing creativity, and maintaining mental well-being, while also balancing professional roles with personal identities. Discover how even significant setbacks can act as catalysts for growth and transformation, all through the power of perspective and intentional leadership.00:00 Introduction and Overview03:28 Guest Introduction: Bernadette McClelland04:24 The Essence of Disruption05:37 Navigating the VUCA and BANI Economies10:50 The Deliberate Disruption Model15:53 Reframing Problems as Situations23:10 Aligning Head, Heart, and Gut25:03 Techniques for Type A Leaders to Trust Themselves26:19 Understanding the Brain's Need for Downtime27:18 The Importance of Creativity in Leadership27:54 Balancing Empathy and Technology in Sales28:24 Inspiration and Ideation Mapping28:48 Accessing Creativity Through Downtime29:30 The Role of Leaders in Encouraging Downtime29:43 The Fallacy of the Grind Mentality31:11 Combining Impact and Risk in Leadership34:02 Trusting Your Gut in Sales36:52 Developing Leadership Identity38:23 The Importance of Significance and Fulfillment40:28 Balancing Different Parts of Your Identity43:00 Final Thoughts on Disruptive LeadershipFor more content like this, join hundreds of other subscribers to The K2 Sales Academy.
