All Things Change Podcast Session:
REGISTER HERE to join Steve Cady in conversation with Joe Raelin:
In leadership-as-practice, or L-A-P, we look for leadership in everyday practices, those regular and sometime emergent activities performed by various actors and their artifacts within the organization as they engage in a mutual endeavor. In particular, leadership occurs when there is a turning point or change in trajectory in the flow of these activities. Consequently, in L-A-P, to find leadership we must look to the practices with which it is occurring.
Join host Steve Cady and guest, Joe Raelin, in a fast paced dialog, including group activity, as we explore the contribution of L-A-P to leadership theory and practice.

The Economic Power of International Newcomers
Join host Steve Cady for a conversation with people-centric problem solver, Tanya Budler. She has built global youth programs, designed first-of-its-kind state level policy, and pioneered a state-wide coalition to welcome Afghan refugees. She has proven success in the private, public, and non-profit sectors but more importantly, has an insatiable desire to help Northeast Ohio make its comeback.
Tanya founded Rise Together because of her belief that when the workforce, economic development, and newcomer communities work together, our cities will transform. As an impact firm, Rise Together partners with communities to develop policies, coalitions, and programs that will enable us to create a future where everyone can thrive, not just survive.

Dunning-Kruger and Organizational Agility w/ Herbert Nold and Steve Cady
The Dunning-Kruger effect suggests that people overestimate their ability and that of the organization because they are ignorant of unknown, unknowns. They tend to overestimate their ability because they don’t know what they don’t know. Conversely, executives tend to underestimate the ability of subordinates in the organization.
