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

While technology can speed up processes, over-involvement by leaders often stifles team autonomy. That’s according to Ishan Galapathy, who says effective leaders assign initiatives to teams, providing guidance but avoiding direct control. Set meaningful, measurable KPIs that teams can easily track, like waste reduction per shift. Establish aspirational, realistic goals to inspire without overwhelming. Support teams by removing barriers, ensuring regular check-ins, and fostering a culture of accountability and celebration for achieved milestones. By empowering teams, leaders can unlock excellence, accelerate outcomes, and build an engaged, self-reliant workforce.

Ep24 Achieve rapid results without micromanaging

Ishan Galapathy dives into the core principles of continuous improvement as a path to unlocking excellence. Continuous improvement, he insists, is about consistent, small wins that accumulate over time, like building momentum on a metaphorical “flywheel”. Ishan outlines his model, comprising three key elements: building momentum, gaining traction, and expanding followers.

Organisations should focus on solving two types of problems: those that drain profits (like inefficiencies) and those that drive strategic goals. Key to success is assigning the right team with a mix of engaged leaders and fence sitters who need a chance to contribute.
