Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2024 on Sunday 20 October at Church House, London. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION In 2018, the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) was introduced at the World Cup in Russia – and the arguments about it haven't stopped since, with complaints that decisions are still often wrong while lengthy reviews cause confusion and frustration. Using technology to help referees get important decisions right seemed like such a good idea. For example, in 2010, England midfielder Frank Lampard famously had a goal against Germany in the World Cup disallowed, despite the ball clearly crossing the goal line. One result was the introduction of technology that can tell the referee instantly if the ball has crossed the goal-line. However, goal-line technology can only assist with one source of refereeing error. VAR enables a wider range of decisions to be reviewed. One criticism is that VAR is still subject to human subjectivity and fallibility, as it depends on how referees view and apply the rules, with incorrect decisions still being made and with inconsistency between matches. The most high-profile VAR error occurred last autumn, when confused communication between the on-pitch referee and the VAR meant a goal by Liverpool against Tottenham Hotspur was erroneously disallowed – despite the VAR making the correct decision. Representatives of one Premier League club, Wolves, were so incensed by a string of bad decisions that they put forward a motion to scrap VAR altogether. Secondly, VAR slows down the game as goals or penalty decisions are subject to laborious reviews, playing havoc with the emotions of players and spectators. One former England player, Paul Scholes, has complained that the ‘VAR experience is poor, the in-stadium experience for the supporter. It's nowhere near good enough.' However, the football authorities believe that VAR has made the game fairer by improving both decision accuracy and transparency as fans can see the video replays. Responding to the Wolves motion, the Premier League pointed out that VAR has substantially improved decision making overall, while acknowledging that decisions currently take too long. Has VAR ruined football? Why has video technology been so controversial in football when it has been much more successful in other sports, like cricket and tennis? How can we remove human error, or is human error an inevitable part of the game? Can VAR be fixed, or should it be given the red card?

People who work under you are trying to win you round; the colleagues you beat out for the top job may be looking to sabotage you.

From the aroma of freshly baked bread in a grocery store to the crisp scent of a new car, our senses play a crucial role in shaping our perceptions and evaluations of products. However, recent research has delved deeper into the relationship between visuals and olfactory sensations, uncovering fascinating insights into how pictures of scented objects can influence consumer behavior. Today, we had the privilege of speaking with Zachary Estes, Professor of Marketing, Co-Director of the Behavioral Research Lab, and Director of the PhD in Management at Bayes Business School, City University of London, and Varun Sharma, Assistant Teaching Professor of Marketing at Carnegie Mellon University, Qatar. Their research delves into the intricate interplay between cognition, emotion, and consumer behavior, focusing on sensory marketing and its impact on product evaluation. This research sheds light on the transformative potential of olfactory visuals to leverage scent in marketing and how, in certain instances, these visuals offer brands a strategic advantage in capturing consumer attention.

Individual creativity and idea construction sets us apart within our own societies, it is a deeply desirable trait, and can give you power and wealth. ‘Gosh, what a great idea!', ‘Why didn't I think of that?' are often thought and heard. Cue Artificial intelligence, AI can enhance and enable our creativity- giving thousands of creative solutions to our input ideas. Less a brainstorm and more a cosmic tsunami of creation, all in a matter of seconds. It does this without its own personal agenda and selfish desire to have the idea that brings with it the potential for expression, power and wealth. But is it creative? Or, like in many industry applications, is AI a tool that makes us more creative. In this episode of The Next Five, we hear from Doug Eck, Senior Research Director at the Google DeepMind working on generative media, who discusses how we amplify our own human ideas with technology and that AI brings an inflection point where new art forms could develop with its help. Youtube content creator Dani Verdari, discusses the use of AI in her own content creation, the benefits of having this technology at her fingertips and how it can help others become artists and creators. She also discusses some of the issues around copyright of works that arise. Neil Maiden, Professor of Digital Creativity at the Bayes Business School, City University of London and Director of the Center for Creativity Enabled by AI, looks at how we embed creative thinking in professional practices and how AI can be used to solve problems more effectively.Sources: FT Resources, Harvard Business Review, Goldman Sachs, American Museum of Natural History, Science Daily, Lesley University, Forbes, Accenture.

In our ongoing series investigating leadership in business - coming from the skeptical perspective of “Is there such a thing?” - we meet Amanda Goodall, a professor of leadership at Bayes Business School, City University of London, specializing in the influence of leaders and managers on performance, shares insights from her book "Credible: The Power of Expert Leaders." She has a new perspective on business leadership. It's not a general management function that can be taught in an MBA course. It can't be learned from leadership courses. It can't be implemented by management consulting firms. Leaders must first be experts in their field and the core business of the firm.Amanda shares the importance of experts in providing a clearer sense of purpose and fostering a longer-term organizational perspective. The dialogue concludes with a call to establish expert-friendly environments, and emphasizes the removal of impediments to harness expertise for organizational success.Resources: https://amandagoodall.com/https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/63251919-crediblehttps://www.amazon.com.au/Credible-Expert-Leaders-Amanda-Goodall-ebook/dp/B0BS3FS9XHShownotes:0:00 | Intro02:41 | Leadership Studies: Academic Overview06:26 | Defining Leadership's Impact on History09:07 | Patterns of Expert Leadership13:35 | Success of Expert Leaders: Key Principles17:25 | Expert Leadership at All Levels18:05 | Reed Hastings' Leadership Style and Bureaucracy in Organizations21:32 | Openness and Autonomy: Keys in Tech Companies22:38 | Challenges in Defining Core Functions25:15 | Rethinking Leadership: Business School Approach to Leadership30:48 | Metrics Obsessed Defined33:28 | Expert Leadership: How They Craft a Clear Essence of Purpose35:22 | How Expert Leaders Create More Productive Workplaces?38:43 | Expert Leaders Exhibit Greater Emotional Intelligence 41:34 | What is an Expert-Friendly Company?45:40 | Removing Barriers to Get an Expert-Friendly Organization47:27 | Wrap Up: Revolutionary Approach of Amanda Goodall

How can businesses of every size learn to embrace curiosity and creativity? Andy Wilkins, business consultant; Honorary Visiting Fellow at Bayes Business School; and co-founder of consultancy Perspectiv, discusses creativity in business with Professor Neil Maiden. The conversation covers a wide range of issues and considers how ten years ago, industrial focus was on process improvements, which has now given way to the leadership of complexity, establishing cultures, and the delusion of self-awareness. The current business environment is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) and this podcast offers insights from two experienced guides in business and creativity.

Introduction: Costas Andriopoulos is Professor of Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Bayes Business School (City University of London) He is founder of Bayes X, the Cnentre for Innovation and Disruption. He is also the Director of Avyssos Advisors Ltd. an Innovation management consultancy. Costas was born in Athens, Greece. He was educated in Greece and the UK & prior to joining Bayes Business School, City University of London in 2014, he held posts at Cardiff, Strathclyde, Aberdeen and Brunel universities. Costas researched New Product Design Consultancies and tech companies in Silicon Valley and was a visiting professor at Said Business School (University of Oxford) Costas is also an author and his book, Purposeful Curiosity is the subject of this podcast. Costas now lives in West London with his wife and daughter. Podcast episode Summary: In this episode Costas shares his Curiosity Journey and the work he undertook to understand what it takes to employ Curiosity in a meaningful fashion. We discuss what it takes to be purposeful, the distractions we must refuse, and the permission needed to nurture the “Itch” within us all to follow our passions and execute our dreams. As Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think again shares, Costas's book “Nails the difference between idle curiosity and a productive drive to discover”. Points made throughout the Episode: o What more can you say about you the person? Costas shares that since we was a child he was a very curious person. He took things apart and his friend was his screw driver. He is very grateful that his parents encouraged this fascination with how things worked, with his curiosity as a child. This same curiosity has taken him to different parts of the world to study and work and by way of it he has met incredibly interesting people. o When you show interest in what others do it leads you to some very interesting answers. o Costas wanted to become an Architect. Whilst his parents at that time discouraged that path it is not surprising to Costas that his PhD and research focuses on Creative & Innovative organisations, some of whom were design studios and others of whom where Architectural firms. There is something we are passionate about, sometimes we are steered away from pursuing these passions but if you like something so much it will always come back. o Costas encourages people to do something about which you are passionate and good. We can follow many topics and we need to understand these topics. Costas became curious about Curiosity and he wanted to nurture that passion and understand what it takes to pursue curiosity purposefully. o Because Costas knows Creativity, Innovation and Curiosity are closely linked or brothers he found researching Curiosity to be within his gift. o He makes the point that if he wanted to research Rockets he would find it very difficult because he wasn't very good at physics or related disciplines and most probably he would not be interested in any case. o We have to care about something, we have to be passionate and we have to understand the subject to pursue purposeful curiosity. o Notwithstanding the fact that Costas has studied Innovation and Creativity when he first mentioned his interest in studying Curiosity everyone he spoke with thought he was crazy. o The external voices were really projecting their fears onto Costas about the potential pitfalls and opportunity cost of his project. When we embark on something new, and Curiosity is a new field for Costas, people are going to project their fears. o People who surround us normally care for us. They want to protect us from failing and still if we are passionate about something we have to learn to silence these external voices to follow our path. o Costas is not encouraging blind faith or reckless pursuits he is taking about projects where you prepare and surround yourself with professionals or people who know something about what you are trying to achieve. o To illustrate his point Costas tells us about his new interest in Kite Surfing and how he approached becoming skilful when initially it seemed daunting. In the same way as before external voices tried to dissuade him. He was told of all of the dangers associated with Kite surfing and as before he noticed people were simply projecting their fears. o Costas chose a good instructor, he went online to read up as much as he could about safety, essentially saying he did not go to his first lesson unprepared. o Being curious about something means you go to your first meeting being prepared. o Costas's motivation to write his book was to research Curiosity and it became his purpose. o Purposeful Curiosity is about translating our curiosity into something. We can be curious about stuff, satiate our curiosity somewhat and move to the next thing. Doing this means nothing happens, no processes get better or the community doesn't benefit etc. It is a bit of a selfish act. o Costas noticed he was doing this, his colleagues and others were too. o He was curious to understand if there were people who followed their curiosity and executed change, translating their curiosity into a service, a product or a start-up o For his research Costas interviewed 60 people from different walks of life, different geographical locations from Japan to California. o What Costas noticed was that the people he studied stayed with their curiosity longer. Too often when we are curious and something doesn't work out we drop it. What Costas found was the opposite with those who were Curious and executed. If something did not work out they became even more curious. o Costas describes how when he began his research and project he got so curious his world disappeared and it became like a movement to him. o Costas was curious to know how we can help people be more curious, to execute their curiosity and to improve life, communities, solve problems and provide solutions to life questions. o It was important for Costas to address the subject of fear in his book Purposeful Curiosity. He admits himself that when he starts something new he feels fear. He is not fearless. Instead however he uses his curiosity to overcome his fears. o When he started Kite Surfing in the Summer of 22, he saw Kite Surfers jumping 5 or 6 metres and he was afraid. By being curious he tried to figure out what could go wrong. He developed a list of mitigating solutions. He used his curiosity and questions about his fear to help him move closer to his goals. Fear doesn't necessarily go away but you can make it become second nature to you. o Costas uses his failure to learn, to ask for feedback and to course correct. o Costas wrote this book during Covid. It was bemusing to Costas that he chose to do something so creative in isolation because he is a person who enjoys company. o Costas explains making fear second nature by saying that the more we do something the more it becomes like skin. We get used to it. He uses the example of writhing his own book to explain this phenomenon. o Writing a book is a big endeavour. Writing 300 pages in a year and a half takes commitment, it takes time and over time writing & pursuing this project of writing a book about Purposeful Curiosity became second nature to him. o Costas admits that writing is not something that comes naturally to him, in fact it makes him a bit uncomfortable, because for Costas it is about disseminating his thoughts onto paper for others to read. o You have to be comfortable with discomfort. o When Costas started writing he was very uncomfortable, it was taking him more time than he thought it should, he was stressed and he was beset with his inner critic asking “will he get it?” but curiously the more Costas wrote, the more time he took he started to get comfortable with his discomfort to the point that he began to enjoy it. o Costas never felt paralysed by his fear, he felt energised. He studiously worked to bring down his fear by doing more research, reading books that were close to the kind of book he wanted to write, talking to people etc. o To execute Curiosity you have to first give yourself permission to go on the Journey. Do not wait for others to give you the green light. o Curiosity leads us to be relevant. o All of us have to be lifelong learners. o Costas encourages us to figure out “our itch” to take ownership for our particular Curiosity Project. If you have a passion, a curiosity, open a folder, take notes, do your research, have boundaries, don't be seduced by the internet, there are a lot of smart resources like Udemy etc give yourself permission become a bit of an expert. o Costas also notes that when you are starting out, following your itch and learning about your passion or topic you need to find a Tribe. o Ask “who is your tribe” go to meetings, participate & talk to discover. o Don't be afraid. The important thing is to continue learning, to continue asking questions to surround yourself with a Tribe, people who are passionate, different, open and open to being surprised and can add meaning to your project. o Costas expands on his acronym Curiosity which neatly describes the qualities of a good team and in this case Tribe. o Assembling a dream Tribe/Team is about hiring curious people. People who are Collaborative, Unabashedly passionate about the subject, Resilient, Iconoclastic, Open to outside interests, Urgent and Surprise seeking. o What Costas admires in his field and in his career or on his teams are the people who bring you questions. They are not waiting for him to solve for everything. o Costas mentions the wise adage “never meet your heroes or heroines” He did not meet this problem when he was interviewing his 60 subjects or innovators for his research. He was surprised by their willingness to share things. People confided in him which for Costas meant that there was trust. Costas was struck by their degree of interest in his subject, their willingness to ask him questions and to take notes. There was a real dialogue with naturally humble subjects. o Curiosity means you have to be able to actively listen. If your tribe tells you, you are not ready you have to be prepared to listen. o Curious people can listen, they are present and they are humble. o No matter his interviewees were very successful, often monetarily they were also humble. There is always something further to learn. There is always another itch they want to scratch and they know this. o Costas reminds us that it is important to listen and to digest the information we are getting. We have to be patient & willing to take our time if we want to reach our goals. o We need to be willing to do the hard work. We live in an era where there is instant gratification, from food, to education to romance. Everything is on our Smart Phone and curiously then people complain. The book is not a pill, serving instant gratification & guaranteeing results. It is a guide that invites the reader to put in the hard work, to embrace discomfort and to learn. This work requires commitment, time, enthusiasm and effort. o One of the nuggets Costas shares in his nine essential and practical lessons is the idea of “disciplined serendipity” which he explains using his own example of script writing. o When he started his pursuit of script writing he went through the exact process he illuminates in his book. He met fear, his imposter syndrome and all the many ways his mind told him he should not pursue this path-he knew nobody in this field- he did not have a ready-made tribe, he knew he was not professionally trained etc.. Still he prevailed. He put the lessons from his own book to work. o Costas put all of his concerns to one side and he started. He bought a notebook and he started to write. He soon got into “flow” a state of immersion where his world fell away. In flow you forget about time and place. It happened to him when he was researching and again when he started to write. o Disciplined Serendipity means we can move from one thing to something else and by applying the nine lessons from his book we can become better. o Costas has now found his tribe, he has identified an award winning script writer at the University where he works and he is getting the support he requires. In a way Costas developed his own curriculum & applied the lessons from his own book to become better at script writing. o Curiously for Costas script writing has helped him in his teaching. In his classes he is helping budding entrepreneurs start their own businesses. An important feature of start-ups is Storytelling. He uses the art of storytelling from script writing in his lectures to help his students tell better and more compelling stories. o Nothing is wasted. The time and effort Costas has spent learning how to become a better script writer has translated in him using this learning in his lectures. Many people refuse to start because they fear wasting time, using resources etc. Nothing is wasted you simply have to think about repurposing your efforts, combining your skills and knowledge. There is always something to be gained from curiosity projects o In response to the question “who did you become by writing this book” Costas replied “his younger self” the 10 year old boy living in Athens with his friend the screwdriver. o The element of surprise that accompanies us on Curiosity Journeys is very fulfilling, especially as we live in an era where we do not know how stuff works. o Whilst I promised Costas that I would use his book to discover my next personal & professional itch he told me that he believes I already have it, coaching and doing this podcast. He is partially correct and I know there is more. His book is worth a reread. Resources shared across this podcast & ways to get in touch 1.

Being a great manager isn't enough to lead others to success. You also need to deeply understand your organization's core business. Amanda Goodall studies the relationship between leaders and organizational performance. She argues that the best leaders are technical experts — for example, doctors who head up hospitals or all-star basketball players who go on to manage teams. “We find that if your boss understands the nature of the work, then they can actually help you,” says Goodall, a professor at Bayes Business School at the City University of London. “They can assess you well, and they can encourage you in the right direction to advance in your career, and that is a very important element for job satisfaction.” In this episode, you'll learn how to approach the transition from expert individual contributor to a leadership role. And you'll learn what to do if you're a generalist managing experts. (Spoiler alert: self-awareness and listening skills are important.) Key episode topics include: leadership, developing employees, managing people, building trust, feedback, and talent management.

Špela Prijon and Sascha Kellert join us to share the latest news from Ownco - a platform that combines the best aspects of cooperatives, DAOs, and traditional startups to make shared ownership and the ownership economy more fluid and accessible. Ownco's approach to distributing ownership moves along four key dimensions - Upsides, Status, Influence, Redemption - and is an approach born through testing hypotheses and assessing the actual results produced by early adopters. For example, through Ownco's credit system companies can issue ownership credits that can be backed - through a legal bridge - with exit proceeds, providing ownership-backed incentives for contributors. Ownco believes that achieving ownership sharing can be done with existing legal contracts, while at the same time the potential impacts of Web 3 may be important for the long term. Špela Prijon and Sascha Kellert are the co-founders with Harry Wilson (not on this podcast) of Ownco. Špela Prijon has been active with startups for a long time, as a founder and team member. Most recently Špel awas Head of CX at Ledgy, leading implementation of all types of equity plans for 100s of startups from seed to IPO stage, in jurisdictions all over the world and it was with such an intimate knowledge of the processes of sharing ownership. Sascha Kellert is a serial-entrepreneur who studied Systems Theory at Bayes Business School in London with a thesis exploring how to design viable businesses using patterns and blueprints from nature. Over the last decade he has been developing practices and tools for the alternative ownership economy, while building his last two VC-funded SaaS/platform startups. In this episode, we delve into several practical use cases, talk through regulatory and governance issues, and explore Ownco's vision of boundaryless, networked organizations, with micro-teams connected through smart contracts and programmable ownership sharing. Enjoy this both practical and inspiring conversation with two of the passionate founders of Ownco. Key Highlights

The professional services firm EY reportedly spent hundreds of millions of dollars preparing to split itself into separate audit and advisory companies. Then earlier this month it abruptly called the divorce off. EY is not unique. All of the "big four" accounting firms - including PwC, KPMG and Deloitte - combine the stodgy traditional business of audit with a fast-growing free-wheeling consultancy wing. On this week's podcast, hosts Tom Lee-Devlin, Alice Fulwood and Mike Bird ask whether all four firms find themselves stuck in unhappy marriages. Professor Laura Empson of Bayes Business School retells how these one-time frumpy low-margin audit firms were beguiled by the glamour and big fees of corporate advisory work. Meanwhile Tom Rodenhauser, managing partner at Kennedy Research Reports, explains why the consulting units have now outgrown their auditing counterparts, and would do well to ditch them and go it alone.Sign up for our new weekly newsletter dissecting the big themes in markets, business and the economy at www.economist.com/moneytalks For full access to print, digital and audio editions, subscribe to The Economist at www.economist.com/podcastoffer Hosted on Acast.

Today's discussion should land you right in the sweetspot of thinking about AI for your own job by taking a step back, by asking yourself how you can connect with AI and why you should. Today's guest Professor Costas Andriopoulos explain curiosity is the engine of creativity. And by striving to be curious our minds will surprise us with the creativity that results.There was a wonderful piece of work five years ago by Francesco Gino from Harvard Business School that looked into curiosity. It found that of more than 3,000 employees from a wide range of firms and industries, only about 24% reported feeling curious in their jobs on a regular basis, and about 70% said they face barriers to asking more questions at work. In a study of 120 employees it was found that natural curiosity was associated with better job performance, as evaluated by their direct bosses.In the survey of more than 3,000 employees mentioned earlier, 92% credited curious people with bringing new ideas into teams and organizations and viewed curiosity as a catalyst for job satisfaction, motivation, innovation, and high performance.Professor Costas Andriopoulous is a Professor of Management and Associate Dean for Entrepreneurship at Bayes Business School, City of London University.Links for today:Professor Costas' book: Purposeful Curiosity: How asking the right questions will change your life Promptbase - is a marketplace for AI prompts (you'll get the best value from it if you sign up for a paid subscription on Midjourney).

Last year, the term "quiet quitting" took the internet by storm. It described a trend in the US labor market where employees declined to go above and beyond. Now in 2023, there's a new trend called "quiet hiring." According to US consulting firm Gartner, it's poised to be one of the top workplace trends this year. Quiet hiring is when an organization acquires new skills without actually hiring new full-time employees. This comes amid continued recession fears and a wave of tech industry layoffs in the United States. Host Zhao Ying is joined by American economist David Blair, Vice President of the Center for China and Globalization, Prof. Soo Hee Lee of Kent Business School, University of Kent, and Prof. Chris Rowley of Kellogg College, University of Oxford and Bayes Business School, City, University of London.
“It's giving permission sometimes, to not be perfect. There's this sense that there's a magic answer. Everybody has all these opinions about what philanthropy should and shouldn't be, so it can be quite a baffling world if you're new to it.” If you enjoy the podcast, please do follow us and leave a rating / review. In this episode of the Charity Impact podcast, I talk to philanthropy advisor Emma Beeston. We talk about the role of the philanthropy advisor, the types of philanthropists Emma works with and the process of helping them to give strategically. We cover some of the thinking around how to choose which charities to support and what makes an effective charity; the pressure of trying to make the perfect decision and the inevitable need to take risks. We also talk about the debate between trust-based philanthropy and more data driven approaches, trends in philanthropy and grantmaking including the changing attitudes of the younger generation and increased collaboration between grantmakers. Emma also introduces us to her new book, co-authored with Beth Breeze, ‘Advising Philanthropists: principles and practice', which they believe is the first ever book specifically on philanthropy advice (more info on this at the bottom of the page).

Each year, SS&C Intralinks partners with the M&A Research Centre (MARC), Bayes Business School at City, University of London, to evaluate the state of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) deal leaks. Leaking information about a transaction prior to announcement is illegal. While it can occur unintentionally, more often leaks are done on the sell-side to attract competing bids that will drive up the selling price or on the buy-side by a bidder who might have found risk during due diligence and does want to not have the deal go ahead. In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Valeriya Vitkova, a research fellow at MARC and one of the co-authors of the just published 2021 M&A deal leaks study. In this episode, Dr. Vitkova shares key findings from the research: • Volume of M&A deal leaks during 2021's record-breaking year for M&A • Deal value of leaked deals in 2021 vs. 2020 • Which regions and countries are “leakier” than others • Three surprising sectors with the most leaked deals Dealcast is presented by Mergermarket and SS&C Intralinks.

About half a century ago, with childbirths increasing, experts warned of a "population bomb" which could lead to catastrophic climate change and widespread food and water shortages. Today, a growing number of demographers are convinced that, far from continuing to expand, human population on this planet will stabilize and then start to decline. A U.N. report suggests that the world's population is growing at its slowest pace in 70 years, and will reach a peak before the end of this century. Low fertility rates combined with better healthcare are accelerating the aging of societies. So, instead of a population bomb, are we now facing the challenge of a population bust? Should we be worried? Host Zhao Ying is joined by Prof. Francesco Billari from Bocconi University in Italy, Prof. Lauren Johnston at China Studies Center, University of Sydney, and Chris Rowley, Professor Emeritus at Bayes Business School, City, University of London.

Series 2: The how to getting employee experience right.David MacLeod, OBE for Services to Business and Employee Engagement, joins me in this really interesting episode (even if I say so myself!). David talks about his passion and expertise around enabling people to work to their full potential, and he should know a thing or two about it.

The movement focuses on growing awareness about the power and potential of employee engagement, provoking people to think, to learn and to take action. So who better to share his insights on this podcast?!We explore a lot (and we could have continued talking for hours!) including:How the 2009 report came about Goals vs strategyProcesses vs peopleWhat employee engagement really meansEmployee activismThe evidence that shows people first is a mustThe relevance of Engaging for Success in the current climateHow organisations can address engagement using four enablersThe widening gap between good and poor managersTop tips for leaders to drive change nowIf you're really interested in making a difference to employee engagement, contact us to find out more or check out the Engage for Success Movement - open your mind, learn ways to make a real difference, take action.More about DavidDavid is co-founder of Engage for Success.

In the past 300 years, the UK has had almost sixty Prime Ministers. Boris Johnson is the only one to have broken the law while in office. Fined by police two months ago for flouting a coronavirus lockdown he himself had imposed on the country, an independent investigation into repeated breaches at his official residence has highlighted a lack of judgement and a failure of leadership at the very top of government. Johnson has never been one to play by the rules, although his most important job may be winning votes, and on that, he delivers. Morals and ethics don't always sit easily in the world of politics, but on Monday evening, after enough of his own MPs triggered a vote of no-confidence, 41 percent of them cast ballots to remove him. It wasn't enough. Guests: Calvin Robinson Journalist and Political Commentator Patrick Diamond Author of 'The British Labour Party in Opposition and Power' Chris Roebuck Transformational Leadership Professor at Bayes Business School

As CEO, Cataloglu oversees a sales and marketing team, delivers exceptional customer experiences, and manages the company's global expansion. Before DIREXYON Technologies, Didem was vice president of global services for Nakisa, a provider of enterprise solutions for organizational design and lease management. Didem holds a BSc in Computer Science from University of Ottawa and an MBA in Management and Information Technology from Bayes Business School. Listen as Kaitlyn and Didem discuss how more advanced financial modeling solutions are empowering leaders in asset intensive organizations (i.e., utilities, transportation, and infrastructure) to make better decisions, with sustainability efforts top of mind. These evolving financial models better equip leaders to establish appropriate long-range goals. They also ‘shout out' the “three D's” - decarbonization, digitalization and decentralization - and remind us of the integral roles these concepts will play in financial decisions moving forward. Considerations on how to decarbonize over the next few decades will be focused on integrated processes and automation of decentralized operations, as well as increasingly sophisticated analytics to predict disruptions before they occur. All of this information, and a couple of acronyms to review: NPV (net present value) and DER (distributed energy resources). On a fun note, Kaitlyn and Didem discuss their shared love for the Turkish culture. Kaitlyn studied in Turkey and reveals some of her language skills. They also talk about some of their favorite Turkish cuisine. If you are hungry while listening to this episode, they may actually give you inspiration for your next meal. Iskender kebap, anyone?

Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/34WtJp0 Bob Garratt is increasingly referred to internationally as ‘one of the founders of modern corporate governance practice – the unconventional one'. From a background in architectural and organisational design he became interested when working with Sir Adrian Cadbury in how ‘top' people often had no training for such crucial posts and tended to learn bad behaviours that failed to develop their organisations effectively. It was not that they were inherently bad people but that they had few role models, and even less support, to develop themselves as effective direction-givers. The paradox is that the UK and the Commonwealth, under Common Law, has one of the most advanced legislative frameworks for effective corporate governance. But it is not implemented and so few legal precedents have been created. His new book agues that there are four distinct types of boards ranging from: the plain ignorant; to the grudgingly compliant; to the dawning of enlightenment as a Learning Board; to the goal of a becoming a Professional Board. His current work takes him to East Asia and China, The Arabian Gulf, Australia, Southern Africa and the Caribbean. He is highly critical of the development of corporate governance internationally because it is over-focused on the financial world, shareholders and listed companies, leaving over 90% of organisations, including charities, mutuals, family offices, beyond its scope. He argues that there are seven easily understood and implementable director's duties, and only one purpose for a board of directors to achieve. Preferring to obey the law, he knows that shareholders do not own companies. Speaker: Professor Bob Garratt is one of the world's foremost practitioners, academics and authors on corporate governance. He has consulted at the highest levels in some 40 countries and been chairman of consultancies in Hong Kong, Singapore and London. He gave evidence to the UK Treasury Select Committee on the Restructuring of the corporate governance of the Bank of England. His academic positions include Professor Extraordinaire at the University of Stellenbosch where he chairs its centre for Corporate Governance in Africa and Visiting Professor at Bayes Business School, London University. He is the author of highly acclaimed books including "The Fish Rots from the Head" and "Stop the Rot" and he is currently working on his latest book about corporate governance, "A Shining Light on a Naughtie World".

Après les stations essence et les rayons de supermarchés vides, c'est au tour du secteur du jouet de s'inquiéter au Royaume-Uni. Les vendeurs ne savent pas s'ils seront suffisamment approvisionnés avant les fêtes de fin d'année. De notre correspondante à Londres, Un homme déguisé en capitaine crochet et une femme en sorcière gesticulent sur le trottoir. Des enfants les observent depuis leurs poussettes. On est devant l'entrée d'Hamleys, une enseigne mythique de Regent Street, l'une des rues les plus animées de Londres. Victoria regarde le spectacle avec sa fille de 17 mois, Nelly. Elle a déjà commencé ses courses de Noël. « Mes parents sont dans le magasin en train d'acheter des jouets à ma fille. Ils m'ont dit qu'ils étaient inquiets des pénuries qui arrivent. L'année dernière, avec le Covid, on n'a pas acheté les cadeaux à temps », raconte Victoria. Et, s'adressant à sa fille : « Nelly, tu attends Noël avec impatience ? Est-ce qu'on va avoir des jouets sous le sapin à Noël cette année au lieu d'en avoir quelques jours plus tard ? Nous l'espérons bien ! » Charlie sort du magasin, une peluche sous les bras pour son fils. Pour le moment, les rayons sont pleins. Elle veut d'abord retrouver l'esprit des fêtes de fin d'année qui a tant manqué l'année dernière. « On n'a pas encore fait les courses de Noël. Mais si on commence à voir que des jouets manquent, on se dépêchera de tout acheter ». Du jamais-vu Un tee-shirt rouge, comme tous les vendeurs, Bruno vérifie l'état des rayons. Il travaille ici depuis plusieurs années, il n'a jamais vu ça. Pour lui, le Brexit et le manque de chauffeurs routiers réduisent les capacités de l'enseigne. « On s'attend à des pénuries. Nous faisons des réserves. Mais on encourage les clients à faire leurs achats maintenant pour Noël, indique-t-il. Ça touche surtout les jouets qui viennent d'Europe, comme ce nounours Steiff qui vient d'Allemagne. On n'en a plus beaucoup. Pat' Patrouille est très demandé aussi. Il risque d'en manquer. » Avec ses 170 magasins, The Entertainer est le plus grand vendeur de jouets du Royaume-Uni. Son patron Gary Grant prévient qu'il n'y aura peut-être pas assez de Barbie pour tous les enfants cette année. Sur Skynews, il tente de rassurer : « Il n'y a pas de pénurie de jouet à l'heure actuelle, mais nous devons vous prévenir : n'attendez pas la dernière minute pour acheter les jouets de Noël. Si vous allez dans un magasin de jouets en décembre, il y a aura plein de jouets, mais pas tous ceux que nous devrions avoir à cette période. » Des pénuries davantage liées au Covid selon un professeur à la Bayes Business School, qui vont finir par se résorber. Trop de demandes par rapport à l'offre, explique ManMohan Sodhi. « Il n'y a pas assez de main-d'œuvre pour décharger les navires, conduire les camions jusqu'aux magasins de détail et les conteneurs sont également bloqués dans les ports, ce qui entraîne des retards dans les livraisons. » Les décorations de Noël habillent déjà quelques rues de la capitale. Des fêtes sans Barbie, peut-être, mais en famille cette fois, s'exclament un frère et une sœur chez Hamleys. Il y a un an, les restrictions sanitaires les avaient séparés.

Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/3JpDiwl Meritocracy is a hot topic, central to books within the last year from Michael Sandel and Gary Hamel (no, they didn't write together but maybe we could sponsor them?). Up to now, analyses of 'glass ceilings' have treated them as bugs, not features, of meritocracy: the consequence of bad ideology or unconscious bias. Douglas Board argues the reverse. A clearer understanding of glass ceilings means we can tackle them better . Speaker: Douglas Board (@BoardWryter) is an executive coach and a writer and thinker on leadership. After switching from the Treasury to executive search, becoming deputy chairman of a top ten UK search firm, he did a doctorate in the selection of people for senior roles. He has held board roles in two major charities, is one of the non-lawyer members of the QC Selection Panel and a senior visiting fellow of the nearly-Bayes Business School. The FT called his current book Elites: can you rise to the top without losing your soul? 'profound', 'subversive' and 'often very funny'.
