I am so pleased to have Dr Tim Franz and Dr Seth Silver, on the show with us today to discuss their new book, "Meaningful Partnership at Work". We will discuss how to create and maintain a meaningful partnership that is an elevated state of connection, cohesion, coordination, and collaboration that makes all parties accountable for the health of the working relationship, and the success of what they are doing together.  We are proudly sponsored by <a href="https://sapartners.com/" rel="nofollow">S A Partners</a>, a world-leading business transformation consultancy.Two Minute Tips 41:58min Seth Silver Okay. Well, I'm gonna slightly change it and share with with you and the audience, how I framed it with the teams I worked with last week. And I shared with them that if I was asked by a brand new manager who had never managed before, what is the essence of managing/leading, and please tell me Seth in that two-minute elevator ride while you stand on one foot?  My answer would be to provide support and help them succeed. Everything else is commentary. Everything else can can be come back to later. But think about from their perspective, what do they need to feel supported? Because I think in the workplace, and in life, generally, I mean, you introduced the notion of family and I would come back to my spouse or my kids or my brother, or, you know, my dad, etc. What what do you need to do to help the other side feel supported? However they define support? Not how do I define support, but how do they define support?  Tim Franz You know, mine that I think is very related to Seth's. My area is industrial and organisational psychology. But all over time, I've really focused more and more on how do we develop people? How do we help people to improve? How do we help get them out of that static zone where they're afraid of change and get them to do better? Adam Grant had a great quote today about the goal in life. So I encourage you to go read Adam Grant's quote today, which is on my Instagram page now because it was fabulous about all right, what we want out of life is is really to improve and be happy. And the core job, whether leaders see this or not. The core job of anybody who's a leader is to develop their people That is number one. It's not to protect the finances. It's it's not to set the vision, it's to develop the people. Links Brad is proud to support many Australian businesses.
