Decisions, Decisions
This week I feel I’ve almost exclusively been coaching on career opportunities – some due to job seeking, some due to restructures, some coming completely from left field.
What’s the connection between Leadership and Metaphysics?
We’ve all heard the philosophical question – If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no-one there to see it, does it make a sound?
There is a widening gap between workforce, leadership and HR. Have you noticed?
Deloitte tells us that Executive Leaders routinely underestimate how much their people are struggling by almost 50%.
There’s no denying it. People are quitting.
You don’t quit your job, you quit your boss – or so the saying goes. We’ve heard it so often; we just assume it must be true.
WHAT DOES EMPLOYEE EMPOWERMENT REALLY MEAN?
I often hear my C-Suite clients complain about a lack of accountability from their mid-level leaders. They are especially disappointed that they have communicated quite clearly that their B-Suite should feel more empowered. When I ask them how many layers they have removed from their approval process or how many governance forums they have replaced themselves […]
THIS WEEK I WENT TO NEW ZEALAND
It’s the 50th county I’ve spent time in and I was pondering on my way over how I was feeling about that. It’s been a few years since I travelled abroad thanks to covid so I was definitely feeling out of practice. So I could have chosen to feel anxious. But 50 countries is quite […]
Boundaries Prevent Burnout

Are you struggling to set boundaries? Are you saying yes to things you should say no to? Putting in long hours […]

Confession Time: I ended last year just scraping through, I was tired, disconnected and a bit disillusioned – like 8 billion other people! Then I started this year too early, too unclear on my priorities and too empty on fuel. It made for a VERY slow start to 2022. Well, we’re not called SLOWHR, we’re called […]
Why is everyone behaving so weirdly?
This month I’ve been asked – a lot – for my thoughts on things like: Handling entitled employees Why HR are handling a spike in harassment and bullying complaints And how Executives can re-ignite accountability in their teams I know these are not new, but right now it’s quite a lot and it’s all at […]
3 deceptively easy ways to break your B-Suite leaders
2022 is going to be a big year. It has to be – transformational results are high on the shareholder agenda everywhere, and without your B-Suite, these goals will fail. Sadly, in the past week alone, I have had 5 of my high-performing B-Suite clients talk about resigning, putting some pretty major deliverables immediately at […]
