episode 53 - the word is radicel

This week on The Word is Leadership, we explore the significance of small, often overlooked elements in leadership, symbolized by the word of the week—Radicel, a small root.

Just as radicels are crucial for sustaining a tree, it is small things in an organisation that are often what keep it thriving. I discuss the “radicel conundrum” faced by many leaders. Ignore the small things and they can become large problems but focus too much on them and you will get derailed by micromanagement.

From the smallest details in interactions to the broader organisational strategies, this episode reminds us that true leadership is knowing when to focus on the radicels and when to see the forest.

Discover practical insights into how leaders can manage their time, attention, and decision-making through a 360-degree view - seeing in, on, and outside of their organisation. I explain a simple approach to use the small in order to thinking bog and find opportunities to strengthen the entire system.
