  • Unlocking Thriving Leadership: Insights from Renee Moorefield, PhD
    2024/11/21
    About the Guest(s): Renee Moorfield, PhD Renee Moorfield is the CEO of WisdomWorks Group, a company committed to making thriving a standard of success within organizations. Over her 30-year career, Renee has worked closely with well-known brands such as Coca-Cola, Nike, and AT&T, providing leadership development and cultural transformation insights. She combines scientific research on thriving with practical strategies for leadership to foster environments where individuals and organizations can flourish. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of the Strategy and Leadership Podcast, host Anthony Taylor converses with Renee Moorfield, PhD, the CEO of WisdomWorks Group, about the science of thriving leadership. Drawing from three decades of experience and working with industry giants, Renee shares her thought-provoking insights and frameworks that focus on creating thriving work environments. Her passion for promoting well-being, resilience, and effective leadership is evident throughout the conversation. The discussion dives deep into the differentiating factors between leadership and management, emphasizing the importance of utilizing strategic plans to cultivate successful teams within complex dynamic systems. Renee highlights the significance of nurturing thriving leadership backed by science, rather than relying solely on motivational tactics. Listeners will discover the impact of self-care, resilience, and creating supportive work environments for personal and organizational achievement. Renee underlines that thriving should be considered a standard measure of success in today’s businesses. Key Takeaways: Thriving is an innate capacity within all humans, yet individuals often delay focusing on it. Leaders should integrate personal thriving into daily life to contribute positively to their teams. A thriving culture in organizations doesn’t just mean wellness programming but creating environments where employees can flourish and realize their potential. Middle managers play a crucial role in cushioning their teams from less supportive corporate structures, making their own self-care and understanding of thriving essential. Leadership is about cultivating environments and focusing on relationships before business to support each team member's growth and effectiveness. Simple reflective practices, when embedded into leadership, can lead to significant changes in work dynamics and individual well-being. Notable Quotes: "Your capacity to thrive is innate to you as a human being. You're biologically hardwired to do these things." "One of the groups we kind of worry about the most is middle managers because they're the ones buffering from so many directions." "Personal reflection is what’s called psychoactive. It already starts to shift how you see how you're designing your life." "At the end of the day, of course, results matter, but the way we get there is through healthy relationships." "The role of a leader is to steward environments where all people can thrive."
