What Are The Trends?
Episode #12 of the Third Turn Podcast - a conversation between Kristin Evenson & Mark L. Vincent
 
 
In this episode, Mark L. Vincent and I discuss three specific cultural trends we’ve been noticing that have significant impact on both leaders and those they serve.

  1. Simplicity vs. complexity--The temptation to oversimplify or too quickly simplify what by nature are complex challenges we face. Can we as leaders instead acknowledge and work through complexity to achieve “simplicity on the backside of complexity”, and a relevant, compelling vision that people can embrace and follow?

  2. Triggers--A hyper-reactive emotional response to incoming information or circumstances. Neuroscience confirms that being emotionally triggered is absolutely real and inherent to us all! In fact, our brain identifies information or realities as either a THREAT or REWARD within 1/5 of a second--without our conscious awareness and often, based on older mental tapes or narratives that aren’t even true to the situation. How can we grow in identifying and evaluating rather than acting on our personal triggers?

  3. Emotional intelligence--Per the dictionary definition, “the capacity to be aware of, control, and express one's emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically.” How can we as leaders lead the way in bringing this kind of much-needed presence to the organizations and people we lead?

Mark first laid out these three trends in a conversation about building legacy with host Aurora Rogers of Sustainable Pioneering.

And I share the neuroscience of being triggered along with information on the 5 key domains of social threat and reward, as identified by the NeuroLeadership Institute. SCARF® threats--threats to our sense of Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, and Fairness--are common to us all, but we each have our own unique profile.
  • Here's a link to the 5-minute SCARF assessment to learn your own distinct profile and grow in self-awareness of your own SCARF triggers and tendencies.
 
With each episode of the Third Turn Podcast we host a conversation among leaders who want the world to flourish for generations beyond their lifetimes.

Listening with others in some way and enjoying in-depth conversations of your own as you reflect and choose what you would do the same or differently is a plus!

We always welcome you sharing these podcasts with others as well as sending along any suggestions for making these podcasts better.
