In this episode of The Leaderful Podcast, we reflect on the last three years of The Ally Co.'s purpose and mission to create 'leaderful' teams.š¤ What does being 'leaderful' mean and what have we been observing (and learning)?A few insights from our conversation about creating 'leaderfulness' on teams:š§ Foundational Alignment -- Leaderful teams are foundationally aligned on the impact (goals, outcomes, objectives) they are seeking to accomplish as a collective, and how their core values are expected to be operationalized through key decisions, actions, and behaviours.š Power & Communication -- Leaderful teams are aware of the power dynamics and systemic forces at play for them, and therefore regularly create space for engaging in deep listening, meaningful dialogue, and purposeful direction activities.š Safety & Feedback -- Leaderful teams engage in healthy tension and conflict, by creating inclusive and safe spaces for team members to regularly (and meaningfully) request, provide, and make sense of feedback - for the sake of connection, innovation, and performance.š¶ Traction & Accountability -- Leaderful teams elevate each other - individually and collectively - by regularly clarifying and recognizing their roles, responsibilities, and contributions. They hold each other accountable, ask for help, and celebrate their learnings (misses and all).š Connection & Trust -- There is a richness that comes from embracing diverse thoughts and perspectives, particularly from those who have been marginalized. Inclusivity not only drives innovation but also builds deeper connections and trust.

In this episode of The Leaderful Podcast, Pablo and Jeff reflect on a part of our work that we've been doing more and more of with impact-conscious leaders and their teams - helping them with the operationalization of their core organizational values.š½ Here are some takeaways!š§ Defining & Clarifying Values -- Many organizations and teams stop at nice-sounding lists with one-word values. This means they often miss out on the benefits of clearly articulated expectations for key behaviours associated (and maybe more importantly, not associated) with their values. Performative value statements can lead to misalignment, disconnection, distrust.š Core vs. Other Types of Values -- Distinguishing core values from 'table-stakes', 'permission-to-play," and/or 'aspirational' values, is important. Core values are the cornerstones or foundation of a team's or organization's culture. They help foster shared connection, understanding, alignment, and agreement. They are powerful drivers for high-functioning teams, if operationalized in the right way.š¢ Feedback & Accountability -- Establishing regular feedback rhythms is key for the collective operationalization of values. Clearly (and consciously) communicating the do and don't behaviours of your core values - through recognition, story-telling, and coaching - is how people will come to internalize and align their behaviours collectively.Thank you for listening, and let us know what other topics you think we should be exploring!

In this episode of The Leaderful Podcast, Co.CEOs (Pablo Romero and Jeff Couillard) reflect on TACO's journey this past year. Part of their discussion focused on the latest positioning of our offerings in today's leadership and culture space, and what's become clearer in our work to create leaderful teams.
Some highlights from the conversation:
ā”āÆFoundational Alignment & Leaderfulness -- Any meaningful change (e.g. developing adaptive capacity) requires power-based and systems-conscious leadership. The cultivation of awareness, skill, and alignment across organizational levels starts at the top.āÆ
šāÆPurposeful Direction & Ways of Working -- Leaders must clearly communicate how values will be (and not be) operationalized, and what expectations they have of themselves and others in aligning organizational intention and impact. How a team works together - decision-making, feedback, meetings, etc. - should reflect its core values, priorities, and intended impact.āÆ
šāÆTrusted Advising for Impact-Conscious Leaders -- TACO is focused on supporting leaders and teams who want to use their power to positively disrupt outdated thinking, systems, and ways of working. Our two core leadership archetypes are known as Courageous Activists and Supporting Sponsors.āÆ
š§©āÆGetting Unstuck & Achieving Clarity -- TACO's Trusted Advisor work helps leaders and their teams to get unstuck by helping them to cultivate new levels of awareness, skill, and capacity. This involves exploring behavioral patterns, redesigning workflows and processes, and fostering deeper levels of connection and performance.
