Rod is the former CEO of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employee Program (FEP), one of America's largest and most successful business alliances, with over $19 billion in annual revenues. Using the principles and the practices of wiki-management, under Rod's leadership, FEP set new records in operational performance. The secrets? Shifting from leveraging the intelligence of the few to the collective knowledge of the many. Dawna talks to Rod about what wiki-management is and why it is the only game in town for changing how we manage in complexity. Rod is the author of the book Leadership in a Wiki World: Leveraging Collective Knowledge to Make the Leap to Extraordinary Performance. http://dawnajones.audioacrobat.com/deluge/c4b53444-0a1e-4d80-3399-ea28a526fd67.mp3 3628dd58-5943-00d8-3543-9ecf2a4bad92 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 01:00:06 GMT 00:26:58 Dawna Jones Adapting to Change by Choice no The Simplicity of Complexity VUCA: Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity. These set the context for business operations and determine the direction in which organizations evolve. Everyone is a change agent in a climate of complex adaptation but change imposed from the top down as a reaction to these variables sets up resistance. People prefer change if they have chosen it themselves. This time, Dawna discusses adaptive change with Dr Carol Mase. Carol has an extensive education in medical and social sciences and has worked as an entrepreneur, global marketing executive, and organizational coach-consultant. She brings the 'new sciences' of complexity,neuroscience, and systems thinking to business and leadership. According to Carol, faced with the need for widespread institutional change, we resist, preferring, either consciously or unconsciously, to wait until destabilizing external forces beyond our control impose change upon us. We hold tight to the existing status quo, continually reinforcing what isn't working. In so doing, we ignore a level of organizational and systemic dysfunction that sickens the earth and produces human disengagement, cynicism, loss of trust, and, ultimately, resource and ecological depletion and a world on the brink of destruction. http://dawnajones.audioacrobat.com/deluge/SimplicityofComplexity.mp3 4c9b450d-ba4b-47b4-71c3-607966372c5c Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:34:31 GMT 00:17:07 Dawna Jones Choosing a Work Environment that Works no Seizing Control of Your Health Companies that don't pay attention to the quality of relationships between boss, supervisors and co-workers can create their own stress-related costs.

Yet unless there is an understanding of how to detect the underlying beliefs of the cultural 'immune' system, progressive successes can fail to be integrated. Dawna speaks with Fred Simon, former project manager with the 1995 Ford Lincoln Continental project as they take a high level and in the trenches look at how this shows up in corporate life. Fred worked for the Ford Motor Company for thirty years, and was a founding member of the Society for Organizational Learning. He has collaborated with Dr. Peter Senge and the late w.Edwards Deming. His work in organizational learning is about developing more effective leadership, organizational alignment, empowerment and interdependency. http://dawnajones.audioacrobat.com/deluge/21f13def-6ef6-78f2-1250-e8ea17d80ea9.mp3 459bf95b-0c8d-be44-fd10-8acb3e15300f Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:24:26 GMT 00:28:49 Dawna Jones Access Creativity - Trick the Rational Mind no The Power of Innovative Learning The rational mind is our safety referee. Stray too far away from the familiar and it cries foul and reins us back in so we can stay within the comfort zone. Developing a different kind of safety.. the safety to experiment and explore can only be achieved through innovative learning. Jack Barnard speaks to us about how innovative learning can help us tap into our creative thinking to find new ways of being comfortable with uncertainty. http://dawnajones.audioacrobat.com/deluge/ThePowerofInnovativeLearningJackBarnard.mp3 59f84e09-3ff7-a3a7-ce8e-9671b7f305ea Tue, 16 Mar 2010 23:18:09 GMT 00:16:30 Dawna Jones Stress Reduction Made Easy no Music for Harmonic Alignment How can music be used as a tool to break down barriers?

If so, you are probably not alone. What few people realize is that the quality of the relationships wihtin the organization creates an energetic blueprint that is very strong. Understanding it helps explain how tough it is to alter cultures. Dr.Rollin McCraty and Dawna Jones discuss how it works and the implications. http://dawnajones.audioacrobat.com/deluge/EnergeticBlueprints_CorporatePerformance.mp3 fd727f6a-f214-891b-9eb7-0e04ec8f3e73 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:20:10 GMT 00:23:30 Dawna Jones The Invisible Aspect of Communications no Energetic Sensitivity Energetic sensitivity is one of the strengths of intuition and it is common to us all. When the heartbeat of a person standing near you can be recorded in your brainwave patterns it points to the need to be attuned to your emotions and regulate them is key to forging relationships based on trust. Dr. Rollin McCraty, scientific researcher with the HeartMath Institute explains. http://dawnajones.audioacrobat.com/deluge/EnergeticSensitivityRollinMcCraty.mp3 16b5b4b0-3fb3-8e96-164c-52cc716dab77 Thu, 18 Feb 2010 17:11:57 GMT 00:20:31 Dawna Jones Challenging Unconscious Assumptions no Through the Eyes of GenY pt. 2 A crisis provides a great way to evolve. Dawna speaks with Duncan Penn, co-founder of www.oaprojects.org, as Duncan describes radical transparency as the way to engage his generation, the frustrations of not having information when you want it, and the emergent role of GenY run non-profits as vehicles for corporate joint venture marketing. http://dawnajones.audioacrobat.com/deluge/ThroughtheEyesofGenY2.mp3 c8a42dcc-2328-2823-a91d-ae701ddb86b3 Tue, 16 Feb 2010 17:08:20 GMT 00:20:43 Dawna Jones Creativity and Intuition Unplugged no Seeing through the Eyes of GenY GenY appears to mystify companies organized around the kind of thinking that worked in the past. Gavin Hollett, founder of Opportunitas Aequa and his partner, Duncan Penn, aren't waiting till they retire to do what they are passionate about. Global thinkers, intuitive, Gavin shows us the more holistic perspective that challenges the one inherited from the industrial model.

It is your intuition and it is by far the fastest processor of all. Dr. Rollin McCraty from the HeartMath Institute explains the mechanics of intuition and the role of the heart in sensing pre-cognizant events. http://dawnajones.audioacrobat.com/deluge/Intuition_PowerfulToolRollinMcCraty.mp3 247b6f8c-4c51-714c-e995-f9367fb9da62 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:54:27 GMT 00:09:10 Dawna Jones Fueling Results at Home and Work no Personal Spirit Everything is energy. People who don't believe in energy have apparently never tried getting out of bed. Talk about energy in the workplace and people's eyes glaze over as they assume you've gone to the woo~woo side.

Judging by the level of emplyee disengagement, talk about dual personalities: one for home and one for work, would suggest that leaaders all levels levels have room to grow and evolve in order to support the self-actualization of employees and the company. The demand to learn and evolve is immediate so calibrating cultures to retain talent that can bring their creativity and passion to work requires a more sophisticated set of skills and outlook.

Rod Collins, former COO for Blue Cross-Blue Shield, tells Dawna that executives are at a tipping point where to maintain any kind of agility requires replacing command and control with facilitating, enabling, and supporting performance. But what does this mean to the average executive? Rod Collins explains. http://dawnajones.audioacrobat.com/deluge/DeathofCommand_Control_RodCollins.mp3 516dc8de-97ac-169b-de2f-ef9100be0f39 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 17:23:19 GMT 00:14:49 Dawna Jones The Changing Role of Managers no Follow the Joy to Performance If you want to find performance in an organization, Follow the Joy! Dawna speaks with Nick Zeniuk, former Ford executive known for his work in organizational performance and learning. Nick explains how traditional management structures - which are all about control-are redundant becuase thw ay that things get done is through informal, self-organizing social networks. The role of the new manager must be far more to listen, understand and tap the power of those networks rather than seek to impose structure on them. http://dawnajones.audioacrobat.com/deluge/FollowtheJoy_NickZeniuk.mp3 27ce62f9-2547-5fd2-9b76-6b074b0953b8 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 01:26:12 GMT 00:15:20 Dawna Jones Quantum physics and self-fulfillment no The Story of a Recovered Corporaholic Disengagement in the workplace, stress-related illness, absenteeism indicate the repression of expression where employees are leaving an important part of themselves at home... their passion. Mark Romero is a reformed corporaholic who left a successful business career to pursue his passion for music. Through quantum physics he discovered his unique musical talent creates frequencies that reduces stress, aligns and harmonizes living and working spaces. Stories like Mark's help us see where many corporate ailments stem from unintentionally repressing creative talent.
