In this episode of the Anatomy of Leadership podcast, Meredith Damore, Elevate’s SVP of Organizational Effectiveness and Managing Director, Consulting for Elevate Talent, and Chris discuss various topics related to leadership and organizational effectiveness.

Meredith has spent a large portion of her career taking coaching and leadership into the private equity world to help start ups be more successful.  A great quote from their time together was a definition of culture that Meredith uses from Carolyn Taylor, “Culture is the patterns of behavior that are encouraged, discouraged, tolerated and not tolerated, most often starting with a leadership team and exhibited broadly by people and systems within an organization over time.”

They touch on the importance of self-awareness and coaching in leadership development, and the need for difficult conversations in the workplace.  They also explore the concept of integral theory, which emphasizes the importance of focusing on the individual, the team, and the organization to achieve maximum effectiveness.

Meredith shares tips for leaders, including the importance of defining their desired behaviors and practicing difficult conversations.  She also recommends resources such as the Five Behaviors of a Team and the use of 360 feedback and psychometric assessments for self-reflection and growth.
