Ishan Galapathy wraps up his exploration on how to unlock potential in individuals, teams, and organisations through insights from his latest book, Unlock: Engage the Seemingly Disengaged. Ishan reflects on Stephen Covey’s insight: “You cannot talk yourself out of a problem you behaved yourself into.” True change, he says, requires trust and tangible results rather than just grand promises.

Think about the momentum of a train climbing a hill or Jim Collins' flywheel concept. Starting with manageable projects, building momentum, and letting success generate further success is key. By addressing pressing frustrations and fostering engagement, a cycle of positive results and culture is created.

Ep20 Unlocking Potential in Teams and Leaders

Identifying and solving the right problems can unlock excellence in business. Using a quadrant matrix, Ishan Galapathy categorises problems based on when they occur (proactive vs. reactive) and who solves them (expert vs. team).

Ishan illustrates the four types of problems: chaotic, sporadic, specific, and systemic. While chaotic and sporadic problems are reactive, specific and systemic problems are proactive. Emphasising the importance of tackling systemic issues with cross-functional teams, Ishan explains how this approach enhances profitability, team engagement, and overall productivity.
