212: Building a Courageous Culture that Facilitates Innovation and Problem-Solving | with Karin Hurt
Summary: <br> “Why am I the only one who finds these issues? What’s wrong with my people? Why can’t they see this stuff and fix it?”<br> If these frustrations sound familiar, you’ll love this conversation with Karin Hurt about her newest book, Courageous Cultures. We talk about building teams of micro-innovators, problem-solvers, and customer-advocates working together.<br> In addition, we talk about dealing with three types of people who present a challenge. (In part 2 of this conversation, we talk about five more types of challenging people.)<br> <br> Idea grenadiers: people who toss all their ideas in your lap, want you to do them, but won’t do the work. <br> Schmoozers: people who talked a great game, but never help implement that plan that sounded so amazing when they presented it.<br> Oxygen suckers: people who talk so much or so loudly that others don’t have a chance to contribute. <br> <br> Karin Hurt is the award-winning author of several books and an Inc. Top 100 leadership speaker. She provides leadership development programs for organizations around the world. A former Verizon Wireless executive, she has over two decades of experience in customer service, sales, and human resources.<br> <br> Resources Mentioned in This Episode:<br> <br> Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Courageous-Cultures-Karin-Hurt/dp/1400219531/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1582811317&sr=8-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=trailblazeinc-20&linkId=21e60e3b3b907a5d547b04ad334bba26&language=en_US">Courageous Cultures</a> <br> Idea Inspiration Summit July 23<br> <a href="http://www.CourageousCulturesBook.com">Free executive strategy guide to creating a courageous culture</a><br> Idea incubator guide (with pre-ordering)<br> Book: <a href="http://winningwellbook.com/">Winning Well: A Manager’s Guide to Getting Results–Without Losing Your Soul</a><br> Book: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Overcoming-Imperfect-Boss-Practical-Relationship/dp/0615977251/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1460566353&sr=8-2&keywords=karin+hurt">Overcoming An Imperfect Boss: A Practical Guide to Building a Better Relationship With Your Boss</a><br> Online course: <a href="http://inspire.letsgrowleaders.com/">Results That Last: 7 Roles Every Manager Must Master</a><br> Website: <a href="http://www.letsgrowleaders.com/">letsgrowleaders.com</a><br> Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/LetsGrowLeaders?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">@letsgrowleaders</a><br> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/letsgrowleaders">/letsgrowleaders</a><br> Engaging Leader 135: <a href="https://engagingleader.com/135-how-to-lead-meetings-that-get-results-and-that-people-want-to-attend-with-karin-hurt/">How to Lead Meetings That Get Results (and That People Want to Attend)</a><br> Engaging Leader 054: <a href="https://engagingleader.com/054-humility-and-leadership-how-to-teach-confident-humility-podcast/">Humility and Leadership: How to Teach Confident Humility</a><br> <br> Subscribe on your favorite podcast app:<br> <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/pa/podcast/engaging-leader-leadership-communication-principles/id559986908?l=en">Apple Podcast</a> | <a href="https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Iqb6rywdpr237r4vad2wfnvbzca" data-et-has-event-already="true">Google Play</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1WO5MgfYikawfN1s9Gohzi?si=rfrsdZ1CS6GhT57YOkwwxw">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/engaging-leader-communicate-engage-lead">Stitcher</a> | <a href="https://engagingleader.com/other-ways-to-listen/">Other Ways to Listen</a><br>
