In this episode, we speak with guest Tony Martignetti about expanding perspectives without creating chaos.
As you’re leading for transformational growth, you know you need a wide range of perspectives to think even bigger. Yet we hear that some leaders are concerned that expanding perspectives could take too much time, and even create chaos. The good news is there’s another way to expand perspectives that can make a dramatically positive difference in outcomes.
In this episode, we speak with Tony Martignetti, Founder and Chief Illumination Officer of Inspired Purpose Partners. We discuss the importance of going beyond surveys and inviting people into high-quality conversations that can illuminate their hidden brilliance. Tony shares how he uses the concept of “Campfire Stories” to help people go beyond their roles and talk about what really matters in a way that gets to the heart of the issues that shape strategy. He brings his approach to life through the story of a CEO and C-Suite team that made substantial progress on shaping their growth journey when they were willing to open themselves up to each other and reveal their hidden wisdom. We also discuss three immediately useful ideas for expanding perspectives without creating chaos.
