My friend Glen has become a trusted and often depended-upon colleague. For he and I it was first a casual meeting (2009) that quite quickly became a regular colleagueship, that has been supported by a deep and lasting friendship. Glen and I have regular calls these days. To learn. To listen. To dream. To discover.
In a recent conversation, I was asking Glen about the kind of leadership he is trying to create. Glen himself is the most senior HR position within his organization that now employs 400 ish people and lots of layers of middle management. It’s a conversation that helps Glen and I create and host a leadership cohort program.
“What we need is leaders who can think differently,” Glen said. He was speaking reflectively. With wonder. “We need a group of leaders that can imagine. We need to think what we don’t know how to think.”
Glen was speaking to a rapidly changing industry of which his organization is a part. “We need to feel what we don’t know how to feel. We need to dream what we don’t know how to dream.”
Well said. Thx Glen.
