Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

You Can’t Lead Well If You’re Not Well
Q: What's one simple practice that actually helps with wellness at work?
Start with a three-part pause to create a space between event and response, then choose a deliberate action like breathing or a short moment of reflection to stay connected to a bigger goal.
Who Decides Here?
Q: How do leaders decide which decisions are safe to escalate versus ones they need to stay close to?
Be explicit about decision guardrails, determine which decisions the team fully owns, which require escalation, and outline when leadership should review. Regularly revisit and revise these rules as projects pivot.
When Change Feels Like It’s Happening to You
Q: Is it my responsibility to keep my mouth shut and be a good soldier or to speak up when leadership asks for feedback but prior pushes back have gone poorly?
Kiabi suggests that you should be specific about what you can influence, articulate the impact of the decision, and frame feedback with appreciation and empathy so it informs decision-making without burning political capital.
Your Old Playbook Won't Work Here
Q: What changes when a leader moves from peer to supervisor of former peers, and how should they handle this transition?
Reintroduce yourself in a leadership context, redefine accountability, establish new norms, and maintain transparency to preserve trust while signaling the new relationship dynamic.
Your Old Playbook Won't Work Here
Q: How should someone balance needing to move fast with the risk of appearing indecisive in a new leadership role?
Ask for input and data, but make decisive calls when you have sufficient evidence; communicate the reasoning and acknowledge trade-offs to maintain trust while moving forward.
