\\u201cWe want to create organizations that can surprise us and do things beyond what we\\u2019ve designed them to do, rather than a machine, which only operates in the box that you\\u2019ve designed."

\\n

Jardena London is a business transformation consultant and the author of \\u201cCultivating Transformations\\u201d. In this episode, Jardena shared insights from her book on transformational leadership and how one can become a better leader. Jardena shared the 3 different transformational leadership lenses: the \\u201cMe\\u201d, \\u201cWe\\u201d, and \\u201cSystem\\u201d lenses and we covered several important concepts, such as self-mastery, authenticity, psychological safety, resonance and dissonance, and systems thinking. Towards the end, Jardena shared how organizations should avoid becoming machines and instead create thriving human living systems, and thus become soulful organizations.
