A Little Certainty is All We Need (and a bit of confidence too!)
This year has been marked by economic and political uncertainty. In the UK we have been working our way through the implications and practical application of Brexit, whatever form that will eventually take, and across the world there has been widespread uncertainty about the future. Business has always proved to be highly flexible and Read more about A Little Certainty is All We Need (and a bit of confidence too!)[…]
A Lesson as Old as the Hills
I recently visited the oldest remaining family friend that I have, a lady of 102. She lives in her own home, helped by her daughter and carers, and is physically very frail but lively and alert in every other way. It was a pleasure to spend time with her as she talked about my Read more about A Lesson as Old as the Hills[…]
Why are we all so angry?
Am I alone in worrying about how angry everyone seems to be? Whether it’s railing for or against Brexit, Donald Trump or arguing who got to a parking space first, I see anger and intolerance in all kinds of places. Perhaps the ubiquity of social media makes it seem important that we all have Read more about Why are we all so angry?[…]
At Your Convenience – or not?
I was at Royal Ascot a few weeks ago and was surprised to find a unisex lavatory block there. The facilities themselves were fine, but all the women and men in our party were unhappy about it, although we used them before finding a more traditional Ladies and Gents. It was fascinating to see Read more about At Your Convenience – or not?[…]
Too close for comfort? – When shared culture becomes Groupthink
When does a strong shared culture spill over into groupthink? It’s a tricky one. Every organisation wants its staff and senior team aligned, committed to achieving common goals and feeling good about their business. Sometimes though, the common ways of thinking and behaving, the confidence in belonging, in knowing what’s right, can tip over into Read more about Too close for comfort? – When shared culture becomes Groupthink[…]
Reflections on a Landmark Birthday
I’ve just celebrated a landmark birthday. I’m not going to tell you which one but it should be fairly obvious from my LinkedIn profile. Initially I wasn’t looking forward to it but I’ve been on the classic emotional cycle of change journey from denial through to acceptance and, in the end, have had Read more about Reflections on a Landmark Birthday[…]
“Tell it like it is” the key to good feedback?
What’s the best way to let your colleagues and staff know how they’re doing and find out how you’re doing yourself? The notion of “radical candour” has been mentioned often in the media since the New Year: some say “tell it like it is” with no ambiguity or couching what you say to someone Read more about “Tell it like it is” the key to good feedback?[…]
Order, Order! – Diversity in Parliament
I was fortunate to visit the Houses of Parliament recently and had a fascinating look behind the scenes courtesy of my MP and his assistant. It was the day of the Autumn Budget statement which followed Prime Minister’s Questions, so there was quite a buzz around the place. A couple of things struck me; there Read more about Order, Order! – Diversity in Parliament[…]
