Manage episode 367022949 series 3481496
What if the superpowers needed to navigate today's complex world were already within us? That's what we discovered in our fascinating conversation with Maria Giudice, co-author of "Changemakers," as we discussed the evolving nature of leadership in business transformation and the innate qualities designers possess that make them powerful agents of change. Maria shares her insights on the importance of embracing change agency, risk-taking, intuition, systems thinking, and people-centered approaches to tackle the challenges of our increasingly complex world.
We also explored the complexities of driving change in organizations that may not be prepared for it and the importance of setting realistic expectations and goals. With Maria's expertise, we delved into the value of having an executive champion to support you through resistance, and the time and resources it takes to create lasting cultural change. Reflecting on the progress made, we acknowledged that culture change often takes years to take hold but is essential for organizational success.
Lastly, we discussed the evolving relationship between design and business, and the potential of designers to be leaders in this interconnected world. Maria shared her experiences of creating organizational change at Autodesk and the importance of fostering empathy and compassion for those with different goals and perspectives. We touched on the shift from the traditional 'rock star' leader to a more inclusive and collaborative approach, and how social activism plays a role in driving change. Join us for this enlightening episode as we learn from Maria's experience and discover our own potential to create meaningful change in the world.
