Episode Notes

Hey Fellow Change Enthusiast,

On this show, Mariana and I discuss how she leads the digitalization of a business unit and how it must foster innovation to keep up with market changes. The first step to successful digital transformation in tech is to understand there’s a need for leadership and empowerment of diverse teams, enhanced collaboration, and heightened emotional intelligence skills to drive innovation. 

The key take aways:

#1 Value-based leadership for effective diverse teams

#2 Balance compassion with value-based leadership for effective collaboration

• Listen more than you speak to dismantle hierarchical barriers
• Make sure your team are challenging your perspectives

#3 Build A Learning Culture to Empower Teams

• Manage emotions and give feedback to enforce a learning culture 
• Critically reflect on your behavior and challenge your beliefs to learn from failure
