Shaping a culture of innovation with Sherry Dondo

Talent Management Truths

“Healthy conflict is good. Collegiality doesn’t necessarily breed collaboration.”

• Sherry Dondo

Have you ever worked in a company where the CEO determined that the culture needed to shift in a particular direction - to become more innovative, or assertive, for example? What’s the best way to support the leaders of the organization in making this shift? Listen to this episode for some highly practical ideas and examples.

My guest is Sherry Dondo, who is the CHRO of a Canadian bank. She has over 20 years’ experience as a senior executive in leading HR and Talent Management and is also a certified, practicing executive coach on the side! Sherry’s perspective on conflict is refreshing and she shares it in our conversation - including her candid reflection on how her own approach to conflict has evolved over the years.

In this episode of Talent Management Truths, you’ll discover:

• Why healthy conflict is important to driving innovation
• How leading with a point of view vs. focusing on pleasing everyone is a critical differentiator for Talent and HR leaders
• The importance of taking a design thinking approach to how you develop and roll out your programs

About Sherry Dondo: Sherry is an active HR executive and professional coach with significant global cross-industry, executive leadership experience that she draws upon to help senior leaders be bold, think big, and step into the change they are imagining for themselves, their organization, and their business. She helps leaders create an authentic and inclusive culture - where leaders bring their best self to work every day.
