Episode Description
Is your organization agile? Are you able to adapt quickly to new technologies and changing markets? Agile organizations require agile people – people who are able to maintain mental flexibility, balance, adaptability, and coordination. Tune in and learn how our unconscious operating system drives our behavior. Learn how Human Agility Mapping helps us develop agility by allowing us to detect the underlying rules of some of the most complex aspects of ourselves. Understand how to satisfy deep needs and drives, engage our talents to get those needs and drives met, and set them aside, when necessary. Human Agility Mapping uses lightly held, multiple models to help us identify what is at our core as well as a path to development and agility. By improving our ability to understand and manage stress, engage with others more effectively, and increase employee engagement, we become more effective leaders, teammates, contributors, and change agents.
