Ep. 410: "Safe, Significant, and Situated" – Getting to Better: Elevating Human Potential at Work and in Life with Author Stephen de Groot of Brivia
About this episode
Stephen de Groot discusses elevating human potential at work and in life through value alignment and effective leadership.
Stephen de Groot is President & Co-Founder of Brivia where he is passionate about making work and life meaningful for everyone and he is author of the new book, "Getting to Better: A New Model for Elevating Human Potential at Work and in Life". Mike Petrusky asks Stephen about his business philosophy, and they discuss how he believes workplace leaders can align their values and behaviors by creating environments where individuals feel safe, significant, and situated. They explore Steve's book in which he offers practical strategies for value alignment including identifying the value, developing shared understanding, and practicing aligned behaviors. Steve says that innovation should be viewed as ongoing growth and adaptation, rather than just "thinking outside the box" and he believes most workplace issues stem from value incongruence, not lack of competency. Effective workplace leadership involves simplicity, clarity, and fostering conditions for others to exceed their current performance, so Mike and Stephen share practical advice and the inspiration you need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!
