Ep. 208 - Why Every Team Needs a Systems Thinker with Alana Campbell Nehl

Catherine Alonzo is joined by Javelina Director of Client Services Alana Campbell-Nehl to explore how intentional systems that create clarity and care can help people and organizations drive meaningful, lasting change. Changemakers are often thought of as visionaries or advocates, but much of the work that makes impact possible happens behind the scenes. Alana shares how intentional systems can reduce confusion, help people do their best work, and create the structure needed to move from solving immediate problems to addressing their root causes. In this episode, you'll learn: Why clarity around roles, responsibilities, and expectations can reduce workplace tension and create stronger, more collaborative teams How Alana's "stop the bleeding" approach separates an immediate solution from the long-term systems change needed to keep a problem from happening again Why care should be built into systems and processes, and how considering the people impacted by change can lead to more effective implementation and lasting results This episode is for leaders and changemakers who want to build better systems, solve problems at the root, and create environments where people have the clarity and support they need to do their best work. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe for more insights on changemaking. 🎧 Listen on your favorite podcast platform or watch on YouTube now!
