Humble Pie S2 E1: how to be a positive deviant with Rob Baker
And we’re back, Season 2 of Humble Pie. The podcast series where we delve deep into leadership and discuss just how great people manage to achieve great things. We still want to share stories about how some of the best leaders have owned their vulnerability and used it as a strength. Since the last series, the world has changed a hell of a lot. What we want to know is: can great leaders still inspire others whilst showing humility?
In this episode, we chatted to Rob Baker about what it means to be a positive deviant and how you can use it to encourage your teams to think differently, in an evidence-based way, to better performance.
And if you want read more about Rob's approach here's a link to his book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Personalization-Work-Resources-Engagement-Performance/dp/178966294X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=personalization+at+work&qid=1613654164&sr=8-1
