You can listen by clicking here It’s not a good feeling when you realise you have lost the trust and support of others. As you look back in hindsight, you can see the clues but that’s always too late and you find yourself feeling isolated and alone, realising that others are watching your every move and…
You can listen by clicking here As we know great talent is hard to find. Not only has McKinsey been telling us that there is a war for talent for over 20 years, but someone has told the top talent and they have started to use this fact. So, when you hire someone that is great…
You can listen by clicking here A senior leader we’ll call Angela was concerned. Jeremy, the best technician in her team had been a high performer for a series of years now. He had over achieved in every task that Angela and the business had set him and was ambitious. He also had been on the…
You can listen by clicking here You’ve read all about high performing teams, all the do and don’ts, what makes high performance, how they communicate and how they get results. Let’s face it, everyone has a different slant on it and your team is high performing. Sure, they could be better at elements of communication or…
You can listen by clicking here Often, we’ll feel tried and exhausted at the end of the year. We push to get things done, hoping that it all comes together and then collapse into recovery over the holidays, followed by the new year coming around too quickly. We jump in and start pedalling and before we…
You can listen by clicking here You’re probably feeling exhausted and wishing that the holiday break could come sooner. 2018 has been a frantic year with a lot of effort to continue to build success, but it hasn’t been without its challenges. You haven’t been alone. There are teams at work and at home who have…
You can listen by clicking here Have you ever felt that from the outside your career is going along well, you’re meeting your objectives, you’re efficient at getting things done, you’re able to achieve tasks on time that others can’t, but for some reason, you feel like you’re being overlooked, like you career has stalled yet…
You can listen by clicking here Congratulations on getting the new role that you’ve worked so hard for.

Most Leadership Teams are not leading and being accountable for the totality of the business. They are a group of operational heads who only have a vested interest in their own function, expecting that some higher authority (the CEO, and the only one truly accountable for the whole business) will pick up the pieces and…
You can listen by clicking here To find core drivers of culture we need to move beyond human behaviours, we need to look at anthropology. From this lens we find elements which impact us as human beings and understand how we; live, work, thrive and fail in our endeavours to be successful. These simple…
Until recent times, you just needed to be good at your job to get promoted. Today that skill gets you on the radar but no further. Other elements such as; do we like you, will others follow you, what does it say about our business if we promote you, how much potential do you have…
I’m sorry to say your team today won’t follow you just because you are their boss; authority alone won’t earn you any long term right for others to follow you. Today, we are in a world where the team can sack the coach (leader). They can subtly withdraw, “go on strike” and fail to fire…
Every major organisation today in some way measures employee engagement.
