Navigating Change: The Podcast from Teibel Education
50: Lifelong Learning — Insurgents in Traditional Ed?
In a recent editorial for the Chronicle of Higher Ed, Jeff Selingo offers his perspective on the gap between traditional education and new models of learning cropping up across the field. According to Selingo, "Traditional higher education tends to dismiss new entrants to the field in the belief that a college’s brand name resonates with consumers. In an age of democratized education, when learning happens everywhere, any day, throughout a person’s life, having a good brand name is no longer good enough.” This week on the show, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright discuss the massive shift occurring in traditional education and share insights on the characteristics of schools that are making this transition proactively.
42: Cultivating a Leadership Culture of Big Ideas in Education
On Monday, March 3, Howard Teibel will be facilitating a conversation with Amanda Ripley, an author of the Time cover story Reinventing Higher Education, and Roger Stackpoole, Vice President of Finance & Administration of LeMoyne College. This week on Navigating Change, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright offer a preview of that conversation and share insights from Teibel's experience enabling teams to engage in big ideas with a keen eye on fiscal sustainability.
40: What Makes a Great CBO?
The relationship between the CBO and the institution is a powerful one. But making the transition between the role of manger to leader becomes representative of the responsibility of the role to the institution beyond the business office. This week on the show, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright discuss the traits of good business officers and look at how the great one’s challenge assumptions and become leaders of strategy.
36: New Year, Old Woes?
It’s 2014 and we’re slowly coming back to work after a break. But what are we returning to? Today’s headlines on the Chronicle of Higher Ed report backlash against presidents making too much money and the way that information is reported to donors, tough odds on tenure-track jobs, and a New Year’s Eve piece at NPR excoriates online education — a tool for some institutions to revitalize excitement — and enrollment — in their programs. But the nature of change is challenge, and there is much to look forward to in the coming year. This week on the show, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright share thoughts on what’s to come, and how you can approach your challenges as an opportunity for change.
34: The Three Flavors of Transformation
Transformation is a powerful word, one we're tempted to use across our catalog of projects designed to produce change in our teams or organizations. But precision of language counts in our change projects, especially when it comes to setting expectations for teams that are going to be impacted the most. This week on Navigating Change, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright talk transformation, and the developmental, transitional, and transformational change we seek.
24: Navigating Loyalty
Loyalty is a tricky subject made only more complicated when it comes to change initiatives. This week on the show, Howard Teibel and Pete Wright take on loyalty — to a person, to an institution, or to a cause — and discuss how an evolving sense of loyalty impacts teams.
23: Facing Finance Organizational Challenges at the Individual Level
Following up on our conversation around reflections on NACUBO 2013, we're digging into issues facing the finance organization on today's show. While we hit on the three key points around relationship building, communication, and what it means to be a leader, the real secret lies somewhere in keeping touch on the role of the individual as a seed for change.
22: NACUBO 2013 Annual Meeting Reflections

19: Helping Employees Embrace Change
Howard Teibel offers a framework for positive change, offering the techniques your organization can implement to turn natural confusion into a positive learning and growth opportunity.
14: The Importance of Training as a Team
We underestimate what it means to collaborate. The result is often a catalog of missed opportunities for improving function across the organization, which comes at the expense of systems training and technology solutions for simple problems. This week, Howard Teibel joins Pete Wright with a few suggestions for team cross-training -- ensuring that teams are aligned across departments and functions, and that process, not just systems, are tested all along the line.
12: How do you increase productivity without carrying a big stick?
It’s easy to say you want to cultivate an environment of collaboration and communication on a team. It’s another thing all together to actually achieve it. When you are faced with team behavior that’s in the dumps, how do you pull the right people together, inspire that spirit of innovation, and get people working together again without getting mired in politics and frustration?
7: No one will hand you a positive attitude
Keeping a positive attitude on the job is hard work. In the face of political struggles, management misunderstandings, job frustration is bound to kick in some time or another in your career. In the face of all of it, you know you have to put your best face forward and get the job done.
3: Working in Virtual Teams: Motivating Teams and Learning Tolerance
One great truth about managing projects and complex teams is that even the savviest of managers stands the chance of missing key cues when their teams begin to suffer. This week on the show, Howard Teibel joins host Pete Wright to take on this issue and provide strategies for maintaining open communication and increasing the effectiveness of teams in the process.
1: Thriving in times of organizational crisis
