We often describe the IOC experience as akin to enjoying your favorite tapas bar – where you pick what appeals in the moment, sample many things, and share some delicious bites and conversations with others who are like-minded, or be challenged by those who are not like-minded.
Real-Time Leadership
Well, first and foremost our IOC Founder, Carol Kauffman and her business partner David Noble release their new Harvard Business Publishing book on February 21st – titled Real-Time Leadership – you can pre-order now. In their January 2023 HBR magazine article, they introduce some of the book’s concepts: The Power of Options. You’ll find Carol’s voice in sharing morsels of science with the C-suite in a most engaging way. You can hear her voice in this month’s webinar on the new book. Enjoy David Noble’s voice, weaving the book’s DNA together, at our LinkedIn Live.
It’s a feast - the whole tapas menu
Registration is now open for our 14th annual Coaching in Leadership & Healthcare Virtual Conference, titled: Innovation is our Future: Coaching in Leadership & Healthcare.

A Love of Coaching
With Valentine’s Day on our calendars, we can manifest our love affair with coaching by learning from Shonna Waters and Brodie Riordan and their new book (The Coaching Shift) on teaching everyone, particularly managers and leaders, how to fall in love with coaching techniques.
Early in the New Year, Early in a New Career
It’s early in the new year and that reminds us to understand the drivers of early success in a career, which of course can be applied every time you refresh a year, your career or help others do the same. Join Gorick Ng and Jeff Hull to discuss Gorick’s experience and book (The Unspoken Rules) on starting strong.
Turning the Chronic Stress of Racism into Lasting Strength
Our Chair and Co-Founder Margaret Moore joined a New Year podcast, Java with Jimmy, sponsored by MGH’s Office of Community Health and Health Equity, turning the rich conversation into an article that keeps Martin Luther King Day alive in our hearts and minds.
Enjoy the delicious offerings.
Whitney Johnson interviewed Carol Kauffman and David Noble on Real-Time Leadership and how leaders can find their winning moves when the stakes are high. When the seas are in turmoil, how do you keep a steady hand on the tiller? We need to create space between what is thrown at us and how we respond.

To thrive in complex and uncertain situations, we know that organizations do best when those at the ‘edges’ – who are close to customers and markets – can make decisions independently. A few organizations are figuring out how to do this by creating ‘permissionless’ structures, in which teams can self-manage, which speeds up responsiveness and boosts their ability to serve customers well. We’ll chat about this new research which is described in a Harvard Business Review article just out this month!...
