Edgar Schein, Peter Schein, and Jeremiah Lee","description":"Relationships, openness and trust. Are our organizations ready? Is it necessary? What can HR professionals do to make it happen?\n\nIn this fireside chat you will learn about \"Humble Leadership\" and why it matters to effective organizations and the world. As organizations face more complex interdependent tasks, leadership must become more personal in order to insure open trusting communication that will make more collaborative problem solving and innovation possible. Yet the reality in many organizations is different. Constant pressure drives dysfunctional leadership behavior and reward systems that emphasize individual competition and \"climbing the corporate ladder\".\n\nCoachingOurselves author Edgar Schein and Peter Schein recognize this reality and call for a reimagined form of leadership that coincides with emerging trends of relationship building, complex group work, diverse workforces, and cultures in which everyone feels psychologically safe.\n\nCoachingOurselves is proud to present this \"fireside chat\" with CoachingOurselves authors Edgar Schein and Peter Schein. We are delighted to have Jeremiah Lee, a senior innovation leader and leadership adviser at Spencer Stuart, host this fireside chat.\n\nRegistered attendees can receive a free perusal version of Edgar Schein's latest CoachingOurselves module \"Helping\".\n\nThis webinar is ideal for HR, L&D and OD professionals interested in designing programs for culture change and leadership.","thumbnailUrl":["https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/9XB_sSY-Vjs\/default.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/9XB_sSY-Vjs\/mqdefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/9XB_sSY-Vjs\/hqdefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/9XB_sSY-Vjs\/sddefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/9XB_sSY-Vjs\/maxresdefault.jpg"],"uploadDate":"2020-02-07T19:33:22+00:00","duration":"PT1H10M38S","embedUrl":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9XB_sSY-Vjs","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCDy810GVLpsKcwMB_vFofeg#Organization","url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCDy810GVLpsKcwMB_vFofeg","name":"CoachingOurselves","description":"CoachingOurselves peer learning groups transform traditional leadership development by fostering authentic, collaborative, and insight-driven conversations where real-world challenges meet collective wisdom, making every session truly unforgettable. \n\nOur library of guidebooks, crafted by world-renowned thinkers like Henry Mintzberg, Edgar Schein, Linda Hill, and Charles Jennings, empowers L&D professionals to facilitate transformative programs that catalyze leadership learning and development.","logo":{"url":"https:\/\/yt3.ggpht.com\/Pg7dX91MZGHFU26CubqyLk1c8ehQsx1EPkm8xwvi9xJwJl6j8y5cJ4j11Qdtjb7inrhHpptp4g=s800-c-k-c0x00ffffff-no-rj","width":800,"height":800,"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9XB_sSY-Vjs#VideoObject_publisher_logo_ImageObject"}},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9XB_sSY-Vjs#VideoObject_potentialAction","target":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9XB_sSY-Vjs&t={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"},"interactionStatistic":[[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9XB_sSY-Vjs#VideoObject_interactionStatistic_WatchAction","interactionType":{"@type":"WatchAction"},"userInteractionCount":853}],{"@type":"InteractionCounter","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9XB_sSY-Vjs#VideoObject_interactionStatistic_LikeAction","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":10}]},"about":["Guidebook"],"wordCount":325,"articleBody":"We are very excited to present this brand new leadership training and group coaching topic by CoachingOurselves’ author Edgar Schein!
