Expanding 3H: What New Research Reveals About the Human Side of Leadership and Improvement
Most leaders are not missing the tools. New research on trust, psychological safety, and how the brain responds to threat and uncertainty is helping explain why improvement still stalls…and what to do about it.
Drawing on the latest neuroscience and relationship research, this session with 3H Leadership facilitators Kari Penca and Dan Miller reflects how 3H thinking has deepened, and what that means for your leadership practice. We’ll focus on the real breakdowns leaders are experiencing and what it takes to move from reactive problem-solving to proactive, trust-based leadership.
In this webinar, you will gain insight to:
- Why continuous improvement breaks down in the relational space, not the technical one
- How lack of trust and psychological safety leads to rework, waste, and missed signals
- The power of surfacing near misses and leading indicators to prevent problems
- What it takes to shift from reactive leadership to proactive, preventative leadership
- New, practical relational leadership levers aligned with 3H Lean Leadership
Whether you’ve been through 3H Lean Leadership: Engaging the Heart, Head, and Hands (formerly Lean and the Human Element) before or are new to these concepts, this session offers something worth your hour: a candid look at what the latest research is surfacing, what’s really getting in the way, and how to lead through it more effectively.
