S2 E7: Leaders, labels and the Ladder of Inference
Description
Welcome back to the Show Up! podcast.
In this episode, we chat about labels - how they affect different settings, the risks and opportunities they present, and the tools leaders can use to better understand and leverage them.
We look at how labels are necessary to simplify the complexity of life - we can't avoid them - but they also have limitations. Leaders need to develop an awareness of assumptions made based on labels and how those assumptions impact their decision-making.
We discuss the Ladder of Inference, job titles and the Pyramid Principle, sharing experiences from different contexts to help us understand the impact of labels in the workplace.
