• 724: How to Bring Out the Best in People, with Donna Hicks

  Donna Hicks: Leading with Dignity Donna Hicks is an Associate at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University and the former Deputy Director of the Program on International Conflict Analysis and Resolution (PICAR). She has facilitated dialogues in numerous unofficial diplomatic efforts and was a consultant to the BBC in Northern Ireland, where she co-facilitated a television series, Facing the Truth, with Archbishop Desmond Tutu. She is the author of Dignity: Its Essential Role in Resolving Conflict and Leading with Dignity: How to Create a Culture That Brings Out the Best in People*. Everyone wants to be treated in a way that shows they matter. We may differ in status, but we are all equal in dignity. In this episode, Donna and I explore how appreciating dignity can help us bring out the best in people. Key Points Everyone wants to be treated in a way that shows they matter. Dignity is different from respect. Everyone has dignity, but not everyone deserves respect. A major misconception of dignity is that we receive our worth from external sources. We’re at our best when connected to our own dignity, connected to the dignity of others, and connected to the dignity of something bigger. Start with vulnerability and empathy. These open the doors to connecting with your own dignity and the dignity of others. We may differ in status, but we are all equal in dignity.

• 723: Create Visibility for Your Work, with Melody Wilding

  Melody Wilding: Managing Up Melody Wilding is an executive and leadership coach for smart, sensitive high-achievers who are tired of getting in their own way. She teaches human behavior at Hunter College and is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Business Insider, who named her one of the “most innovative coaches.” She is the author of Managing Up: How to Get What You Need from the People in Charge*. Good work speaks for itself. It’s a lie many of us have wished was true, but found that there’s actually much more work involved. In this conversation, Melody and I discuss what really helps in creating more visibility. Key Points Good work does not speak for itself. Our fear of appearing self-promotional can hinder the visibility conversations that our leaders and team need from us. A story will be told about your work. By having stories that you are ready to tell, you get to shape the narrative. Instead of listing what you’ve done, highlight what you want to be known for. Give visibility to work that is important to your team, puts you in contact with stakeholders, and impacts that bottom line. Always have a 3-step pocket update at the ready. Share a (1) project, (2) detail, and (3) result. Capitalize on casual conversation. Say yes to the right invitations and be the person that keeps the relationship going.
