Leading Organizations That Matter
A weekly podcast covering topics of interest for those who lead, support, or simply care about "organizations that matter". These include mission driven, nonprofit health care and social service organizations that exist in order to improve the lives of those who experience great challenges. Profitability is obviously important... but so too is the recognition of the other forms of value generated in these settings. Podcast topics include how we finding meaning, purpose, and impact in our work, organizational culture, leadership challenges, changing the trajectory of struggling organizations, and practical leadership strategies. Episodes are brief and to the point, always with the goals of informing and elevating listeners. Occasionally, I interview leaders and experts in related fields and hope to bring you inspiration and information to facilitate your personal leadership and life journey.

78. Licking Our Wounds vs. Learning From Our Mistakes
Figuring out what went wrong and then learning from our mistakes is vital to an organization's long-term success and impact. Unfortunately, some organizations struggle to move past the woe-is-us wound licking phase. This is a topic of great interest to me personally and one I have studied and written about quite a bit. The key to progress here is for groups to lament... for a bit... and then to move forward into the learning mode. In this episode, I suggest a distinct and simple set of steps - in this case, four questions - to help leaders get over this hurdle.
