As a veteran manager of hundreds of employees, London-based author Jim Edwards would grade himself only a solid “B” as a supervisor. So why do business owners and entrepreneurs on both sides of the Atlantic turn to Jim in impressive numbers for his recommendations on how they can perform better in leadership roles? The reason, says Jim, the author of Say Thank You For Everything, is that you don't have to be a management superstar to be good enough to outperform your peers and competitors. Jim, a talented reporter and writer, gleaned his insights in his previous supervisory roles, including managing editor at Adweek, founding editor-in-chief at Business Insider UK, and editor-in-chief at Insider. Alyson Shontell, editor-in-chief of FORTUNE, describes Jim's book as “equal parts smart, funny, blunt and helpful.” Adds Eric Schurenberg, former editor-in-chief of Inc. magazine: “Jim knows how the leadership game is played and, better yet, he knows how to coach his readers to play it as well.” Monday Morning Radio host and award-winning author Dean Rotbart promises that Jim's organizational insights will leave you nodding your head and asking, “Why didn't I think of that?” Photo: Jim Edwards, Say Thank You for Everything Posted: November 7, 2022Monday Morning Run Time: 53:34

Jim Edwards is former editor-in-chief for news at Insider, and author of ‘Say Thank You for Everything' – the best-selling guide which aims to revolutionise newsroom management.Jim started Business Insider UK in 2014 with just one laptop in an empty office. He helped grow the readership from zero to 250 million readers, placing it amongst the most successful news websites in the world. His “bullshit-free guide” provides management advice based on the 19-point email he sent to a colleague, summarising everything he learned supervising people at Insider, which famously went viral. Based on his expertise, it aims to tackle the issue of poorly-run newsrooms, ensuring media management teams are up to the huge challenges to come.

Say Thank You for Everything: The Secrets of Being a Great Manager (Harriman House, 2022) is a bullshit-free guide to management that shows you the right way to lead a business, inspired by Jim Edwards's experience of helping to transform a small unread blog into a business with 200 million readers and hundreds of employees, which finally sold for $442m. Based on a legendary internal email that distilled 19 things a new manager might find helpful, Say Thank You for Everything will show you: - the ‘whales and fails' method of decision-making that systematically improves your team's results - the incredible power of being slightly better than average - why good hiring is 80% of everything - how to increase productivity and reduce burnout at the same time - why your teams should never be bigger than five people - the importance of taking your enemies to lunch - the surprising places great ideas actually come from - the dark arts of successful management - and much, much more. You might be a brand-new boss unsure where to start, or a struggling supervisor thinking of throwing it in, or perhaps someone who just doesn't want to lose their humanity on the way to the executive suite. Say Thank You for Everything will help you look after your people, get results for your business, and be the kind of boss you always wanted to have yourself. Jim Edwards won the Neal award for business journalism in 2005. He is the former editor-in-chief of Insider's news division and was the founding editor of Business Insider UK.

Newsrooms could traditionally be a toxic place full of shouting and abuse. Thankfully most are no longer like this, but some bad habits remain. Even among the well-intentioned, it is difficult to be a good manager - especially when you are promoted from an on-the-ground position with no management experience. Jim Edwards, who this year left his role as editor-in-chief for news at Insider and was previously founding editor at Business Insider UK, has written a book called Say Thank You for Everything sharing what he has learned about how to be a good manager and leader. In this episode of the Future of Media Explained podcast, Edwards tells Press Gazette UK editor Charlotte Tobitt about some of the most common management mistakes in newsrooms and how to fix them.

Welcome to episode #11. We know you have all been working hard up until the end of the yeat so sit down and relax. This podcast explores the research of Hans Frankort and Argyro Avgoustaki to answer whether the hard work really pays off for us in terms of career outcomes and our well-being. Also - why is it we have this worrying trend of 50% of employees working in their free time to meet work demands? Is the UK lagging behind other countries in terms of competitiveness because of a greater prevalence of overtime and work intensity in Europe? Lastly, what the threats are to our own well-being and also which countries are getting it right? This podcast comes with a warning though – it challenges the old mental models of the workplace which some listeners may find uncomfortable. Guest Profile: Hans Frankort is a Senior Lecturer in Strategy at Cass Business School, where he has been on the faculty since 2009. Hans leads strategy and quantitative methods courses across MSc, MBA, and PhD programs, including the International Consulting Week in the full-time MBA.

The research has also featured across 200+ media outlets, including The Financial Times, The Guardian, New Scientist, Popular Science, Business Insider UK, Inc., Forbes, Entrepreneur, Capital, Le Monde, Le Figaro, City A.M., and the Daily Mail.

Yes we are back– sorry about last week but a couple of domestic dramas got in the way at the last minute… and Mark really wasn't feeling up to it unfortunately. This week the EU fined Qualcomm 997 million euros, Apple previewed iOS 11.3 and released the first beta. The HomePod sort of sloped into the room in a not quite finished state and pre ordering started. High Sierra started getting a bit more aggressive over 32 bit apps and Burger King made an ad attempting to explain net neutrality. Also; Mark is still the sick man of podcasting. So this week Simon is joined by one of Guy Serle's co-conspirators on the 'Mac to the Future GO!' videocast, Warren Sklar. On this week's show: APPLE Apple will release its HomePod speaker on February 9th for $349 - BGR Apple References New ‘Modern iPad' In iOS 11.3 Code - DesignTAXI Apple prepares macOS users for discontinuation of 32-bit app support - Ars Technica Why Is Apple Suddenly Hiring So Many More Designers? - Fortune DuckDuckGo revamped their privacy focussed iOS browser - Mac App Store E.U. fines Qualcomm for paying Apple billions to shut out rivals - Cult of Mac An Apple Store experience from hell — it's clear there are larger problems with Apple's retail presence - Business Insider UK TECHNOLOGY You Can Now Control What Data Google Shares About You - Real Simple Burger King tries to explain net neutrality with fast food - Engadget Nemo's Hardware Store (42:21) Office Depot iPhone Same Day Repair Service - Office Depot Social Media and Slack You can follow us on: EssentialApple.com / Pinecast / Twitter / Facebook / Google Plus / Slack – ask us for an invite any way you can get hold of us.

In this episode David and Simon are joined by regular Sarah Kocianski, and RFi and Sky News Australia’s Chloe James, who makes her Fintech Insider  debut, for this week’s news. First up, they discuss the pros and cons of “screen-scraping” – do banks only want open banking on their terms and to pick and choose the bits of it they want?; is it right that challengers only get one representative at the Open Banking Initiative- and is Atom really a challenger bank?;  and is a CIO title unnecessary?  You can’t innovate in a silo, it needs to go company wide, nor can one person or department “own” innovation, that only creates turf wars. There are also strong views on the ‘culture of harassment’ for women in tech as reported by the New York Times and how sad it is that this culture already permeates an industry that’s so young. The necessity of speaking up to shatter unconscious bias in the industry is paramount. They also take on Danske Bank’s pocket money app to allow parents the ability to digitise pocket money for their children and have an online overview of what they do with it – could this be a key to improved financial education for children? The team also reflect on the ‘changing of the guard’ at Tesco Bank as their CEO steps down after 10 years; on MBank putting themselves forward as a template for others as they licence their tech platform, and on Tide’s $14M raise from the same backers as Spotify – can they now live up to their hype of being the “Monzo of business”? Guests Sarah Kocianski, Senior Research Analyst Fintech at Business Insider UK Chloe James – Group Media Director – RFi Group & Presenter at Sky News Australia News this week Finextra – EBA rejects Commission amendments on screen scraping under PSD2 – Link Open Banking – Atom Bank CEO Joins Open Banking Initiative As Challenger Bank Representative – Link Finextra – HSBC hires Diana Biggs to lead business model innovation – Link Bloomberg – Tesco Bank Says Chief Executive Higgins to Retire Next Year – Link Techcrunch – Curve now lets you ‘go back in time’ and switch the card you paid with retroactively – Link FinTech Insider News –  Poland’s mBank to license tech platform to third party financial institutions – Link FinTech Insider News – Danske Bank develops pocket money app – move over Osper / GoHenry – Link New York Times – Women in Tech Speak Frankly on Culture of Harassment – Link Business Insider – Fintech startup Tide: $14 million boost from Spotify backers Creandum – Link Medium – Bag Snatchers, Monzo, and a night of adventure in London. – Link The post Ep. 274.

In this episode David is back! He and Aden are joined by regulars Liz and Sarah for the news. This week the team take on The FCA’s cohort 3 and reveals cohort 2 for their sandbox; Amazon flexing it’s financial services muscles; and the “demise of a fintech darling” as Monetise is to be acquired by Fiserv for £70million, when it was previously valued at £2billion. They also ask “what the hell is Zelle?” – the instant transfer app taking the US by storm, a key rival of Venmo, a product of six banks working together with 86million instantly available customers, it looks set to make big waves. The team also tackle Uber upheavals, and the ongoing sexism disputes threatening to tear the company apart,  leaving it currently without a CEO, CTO or COO – is this the beginning of the end for them? Even if it’s not, being the “Uber of banking” may no longer be a thing to aspire to. They also discuss what is the future for the small town bank branches and is honesty the best policy?, as Monzo sends out open communications explaining the need to verify 20,000 customer accounts or else to shut them down.

In this episode Simon and Aden are joined by regulars Ghela and Sarah for the news. This week we discuss all things politics on both sides of the pond, especially THAT Dodd Frank legislation repeal proposed by Trump, that seems to have flown slightly under the radar while we were all looking the other way, watching Comey’s testimony- and what this would mean for banks and their customers if it happens. Also on the table is the UK election result and the potential “Brexit dilemma”: other European fintech hubs could take the talent and budget away from London – will London fight back? They also tackle whether it’s possible for incumbents to ever truly become fintech firms, or will innovation always get bogged down in middle management? On the flipside is Coinbase, who has just achieved unicorn status with their latest valuation – is it a game-changer to have a cryptocurrency firm inducted into unicornland? The team also debate whether it’s a big deal that Apple have announced a peer-to-peer payment service, to compete with Venmo; and with Atom postponing the launch of their current accounts, are they struggling to be truly digital? Additionally they all agree that Ant Financial is a beast but it is not yet a bank, can it successfully make the switch? Finally, how do we feel about Australia’s attempt to rename its currency the Dollarydoo – and can the change of a currency’s name affect it’s worth?

On this week's PB/Polling Matters podcast Keiran is joined by Adam Bienkov and Adam Payne from Business Insider UK to discuss today's GfK/Business Insider poll results. The panel discuss the scale of the Conservative lead, what's happened to the Lib Dems and why Jeremy Corbyn's approval ratings are improving (and why it probably won't matter). They also discuss what's behind May's approval rating plus interesting findings from the survey that suggest Tony Blair is less popular than Jeremy Corbyn. The discussion finishes with analysis on what British politics may look like after the General Election is over for all sides. Follow this week's guests: @keiranpedley @adampayne26 @adambienkov

On this week’s podcast, Keiran is joined by Adam Drummond of Opinium and Adam Payne of Business Insider UK to discuss the political state of play as the General Election campaign proper kicks off. The panel mull over the latest developments in the campaign, including Theresa May’s comments about EU interference in British democracy and Tim Farron’s recent run-in with a Leave voter on the stump. Topics discussed also include the lack of a Lib Dem surge in the opinion polls and whether the polls might be wrong again (and how). The podcast also unveils the latest Polling Matters / Opinium survey looking at the appetite (or lack thereof) for a second referendum on EU membership. Could this be why the Lib Dems struggle or is Adam Payne’s alternative suggestion the real reason? Finally, the panel also look ahead to the local elections on Thursday and discuss the potential impact of turnout on the General Election result in June.

In the latest Balderton Capital podcast, James Cook talks to Ben Goldsmith about how technology entrepreneurs (and their PRs) can get newsjacking right, and avoid falling foul of a journalist's 'delete' button. James Cook is Technology Editor at Business Insider UK. He was formerly Contributing Editor at The Daily Dot, and the Deputy Editor of The Kernel. He also runs @LedZepNews. 0100 James explains why he currently deletes most of your emails. 0125 “We've done this to ourselves” – James admit that journalists do ask for this kind of stuff, but he urges his peers to take caution. 0225 James explains what happens to his inbox when a big news story breaks, and why it is (at present) very difficult to sift through the heft of messages to find the really useful emails. 0400 How can we fix comment fatigue? James tells entrepreneurs not to stop emailing, but warns against sending emails just to check the box that says ‘do some PR'. 0525 A big question: How do you, as a tech entrepreneur or a PR, work your way into a journalists' good books? 0830 Entrepreneurs need to consider what they can tell a journalist that no one else can. James reminds us that startup founders do usually have incredibly useful knowledge of something very specific, by virtue of them dedicating their lives to one industry. 1130 Journalists have gaps in their knowledge – if you're sharing a comment, aim to fill those gaps; don't just repeat obvious sentiment or well-reported facts. 1345 What questions should an entrepreneur ask themselves to ‘sanity check' whether they should email you? 1520 Entrepreneurs should feel encouraged to give journalists more than just comment: don't be shy about sharing data, case studies, reports etc. 1720 If you've just started out, how do you get to know journalists? 1830 It helps if entrepreneurs demonstrate an understanding of how news works. Understand that journalists are on deadlines, that breaking news need to be fast, and that they appreciate things like imagery and data.
