We can practice humane leadership – even in environments as intense as a state legislature. Sharing this story from my colleague Tristan Toleno who worked in the VT State Legislature for over 9 years, including serving as Assistant Majority Leader in a role of "The Whip." (Tristan and I used to co-teach a class on Applied Systems Leadership for Complex Problem-Solving in an MBA Program at Marlboro College.) This article has the fuller story, featuring the Shared Leadership framework from Global Round Table Leadership - https://lnkd.in/eYswhhDm Tristan remembers one colleague who felt particularly isolated because of her steadfast commitment to opposition to the bill as the right position for her community. She knew that the majority of her caucus would vote in support and she felt targeted for her opposition by advocates within the caucus. Though they disagreed, Tristan prioritized taking time to listen and to hear her concerns. Soon after the final vote, she tracked him down to affirm his work to make space for her voice and everyone’s contribution mattered to her. Tristan recalls: "She appreciated that I didn't belittle her when she didn't give in to the majority pressure and that I allowed her to be seen and felt as fully human before her legislator role."   Eight weeks later, the bill passed. No major language had changed. Tristan's commitment to relating first as humans before role, status, or expertise improved trust and led to a strong legislative approach to this issue. “The classic understanding of the role of the Whip is that it is part of a status and power-based system to get people to do what leadership wants. Instead, I decided to practice one of the core PIllars of Inclusion of The Shared Leadership Framework™️-- leading first with our humanity, what exists at the core of us -- before relating through roles, status, and expertise. I honored the anxiety, the worries, the frustrations, that legislators were holding during a really tough vote,” explains Tristan. “Even though I didn't get her vote, I never made her feel diminished because I wasn't using my power over her to try to make her feel small or make her do what I wanted.” Congrats Tristan on your new role as President of GRTL! #sharedleadership #tristantoleno #grtl

#thursdaythoughts is reflecting on the beautiful day I spent in Wilmington, DE yesterday with the Blackwell HR Solutions team updating their mission and values. This team, their client base, and their impact is growing daily. Their leader Michelle Ray, SHRM-SCP, SPHR took an intentional pause to have the team update the values created when she founded the company five years ago. A lot has changed in the last five years…in the world, in business, and in this team…and it was refreshing to reflect on it and what it means to the work that this team does for their clients every day. I was moved yesterday not just by the work of this team, but also the location of their offsite. The DuPont Country Club was founded in 1920, but its roots can be traced back to the 1880s. It was organized and maintained for the promotion of the physical welfare and social health of the DuPont employees. In the late 1990s, it transitioned away from being an employee only facility and since 2018 has been under new ownership. I love to walk into a building and think “if these walls could talk.” And yesterday I thought if these walls could see and listen to this female owned and operated HR consultancy and advisory wouldn’t they be surprised at how much has changed with how we view the physical welfare and health of our employees. Part of me is inspired that over 100 years ago, corporate America knew this was important enough to build a structure to foster it. And a big part of me smiles when I think of how much has changed in that timeframe. #teamdevelopment #intentionalpause #mission #values #femalefounders #coaching
