Margie Oleson, founder and CEO of Olson Consulting, chats with Marcus Cauchi to explore the transformative power of leadership and the importance of eliminating organisational silos. Margie shares her wealth of experience in developing the Top Team Accelerator, a programme designed to assist senior leaders and their teams in creating more cohesive, effective, and better-run companies.
The discussion delves into the common blind spots leaders face, such as the misconception that they are the only ones experiencing challenges, leading to a culture of isolation and the perpetuation of dysfunctional communication practices within organisations. Margie emphasises the critical need for leaders to recognise their own areas for improvement and to embrace the art and science of leadership, which many may not realise they lack.
The conversation also highlights the significant impact of leadership practices on organisational culture and success. Margie argues that most leadership issues stem from a disconnect between knowledge and implementation, often hindered by the human brain's resistance to change. By addressing these blind spots and implementing structured processes, Margie says organisations can achieve greater alignment, reduce workplace gossip, and foster a culture of trust and collaboration.
Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the vital role leadership plays in the success of an organisation, the importance of addressing and overcoming common leadership challenges, and the benefits of creating a more aligned, communicative, and effective leadership team. Margie's insights provide valuable guidance for leaders looking to navigate the complexities of organisational dynamics and lead their teams to greater success.
