Harry Turner flew to the Peruvian Amazon to commit suicide but something happened while he was there that would change his life forever. Documented in the film Wild Cat, now streaming on Amazon Prime, Harry's experience with war, death, and school led him to discover and reconnect to himself. He had help in the form of two wild cats — ocelots. His experience with being their parent mimics the experience of any parent.

Dr. Leandro Herrero is an organizational architect and regular speaker at the Organization Network Analysis Summit sponsored by OrgMapper.com in November of each year. Slightly irreverent and very honest, our conversation spans why peer-to-peer change works better than top-down when it comes to creating changes at scale. Thinking differently comes naturally to Dr. Leandro and his clients' benefit. His quest is to create Remarkable Organizations. A clinical psychiatrist and academic by background, Leandro moved into the corporate sector taking up senior leadership positions in several multinational companies both in Europe and the US. His behavioral sciences background is coupled with his hands-on management experience. He co-founded The Chalfont Project Ltd from where he developed innovative solutions to organizational design, culture, and leadership. From his large work with corporations, he pioneered Viral Change™, the new global standard for large-scale, peer-to-peer behavioral change. Leandro has written eight books on leadership and change, is an acclaimed speaker, and has a large community of followers on his “Daily Thoughts" blog and LinkedIn. I have his book The Flipping Point — short flips of perception that compel different thinking.We talk about questions like: What are the preconceived notions that unconsciously would impact a change project? Does national culture have anything to do with change? How and why is peer-to-peer faster?We bust the notions of how long it takes to shift an organization to responsive and adaptive.Find more on: https://viralchange.com/resources/ and of course https://thechalfontproject.com/He is discussing network science and organizational change with Andras Viscek from OrgMapper at the end of July.

Dunia Reverter and Hugo Lopes both reached stages in their careers where working for a corporate was not the way forward. Combining their expertise and vision for work not limited by bureaucracy and control they have launched JobswithNoBosses.com and a crowdfunding campaign to help build it out. Serving an international audience, I'm happy to report three companies are in Canada which is exciting for me (as the show host) having run into managers guided by fear of losing control for the last twenty years! How we view control has been shifting from controlling others to controlling ourselves — a shift in self-leadership consciousness.To support the crowdfunding campaign: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/jobswithnoboss#/This episode is to support people who seek jobs where there is autonomy and respect for the talent people bring to work. There is hope!! For decision-makers in startups and growing companies, this episode is a reminder that decisions are best made in a distributed way to benefit from diverse and divergent thinkers.For past episodes on:Buurtzorg - healthcare company founded in the Netherlands: https://www.management-issues.com/podcasts/376/revolutionizing-health-care-the-buurtzorg-way/ with Jos de BlokW.L.
