In this episode of "The Word is Leadership," I explore the implications of our random word "empty" for leaders. I share three key insights to challenge conventional leadership wisdom: The Empty Generalist Do leaders need to be experts in everything? I argue that credibility stems not from encyclopaedic knowledge, but from your ability to: • Codify your experience • Articulate expertise in broader contexts • Demonstrate how diverse experiences apply to current challenges The Empty Raincoat Inspired by Charles Handy's work, I examine the human element in leadership: • The risks of treating employees as "empty vessels" • The importance of preserving humanity in an AI-driven world • Why leaders must grapple with philosophical questions about their impact The Empty Cup Finally I emphasise the critical role of energy management in leadership: • Leadership as an exchange of energy • The dangers of becoming "drained" and how to refill your cup • Why focusing on organisational energy flows is key to long-term success I hope this episode serves as a powerful reminder that effective leadership requires a delicate balance of expertise, humanity, and personal energy management. I conclude by challenging you to reflect on your own leadership journey, asking: "What comes to mind for you, as a leader, when you hear the word empty?"
The name “Charles Handy” is not very well known to folks in these parts.
The Age of Unreason by Charles Handy is a thought-provoking book that explores the rapid changes in society, work, and organizations due to technological advancements and shifting global dynamics. Published in 1989, Handy argues that the traditional ways of thinking about careers, leadership, and business structures are becoming obsolete in an era of constant change and unpredictability.He introduces the concept of the "discontinuous age", where individuals and organizations must adapt, reinvent themselves, and embrace flexibility to thrive. Handy also discusses ideas like portfolio careers, where people engage in multiple roles instead of a single lifelong job.The book encourages a new mindset to navigate uncertainty and leverage change as an opportunity for growth. The Age of Unreason remains relevant today, offering valuable insights into how we can shape our personal and professional lives in an evolving world.

Julia Hobsbawm and Stefan Stern are joined by the FT's Andrew Hill to discuss Handy's life and legacy, his extremely sharp predictions about work, the humanism at the heart of his thinking, and his unconventional practices like ‘empty chair' exercises. We have included an interview with Charles Handy from the very first episode of The Nowhere Office.

Honoring Charles Handy: Wisdom on Innovation, Leadership, and Life In this episode, we pay tribute to the late Charles Handy, an influential philosopher, storyteller, and thought leader. The host re-releases a special episode recorded at Handy's London home following his stroke. Despite his condition, Handy remained impressively positive, attributing his enhanced creativity to his impairment. He shares profound insights on various concepts like the 'white stone,' 'citizenship within organizations,' and his famous 'shamrock organization.' Handy emphasizes the importance of making changes before they become critical and inspires with his reflections on challenging orthodoxy, dreaming big, and understanding leadership versus management. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom on how to navigate and innovate in both personal and organizational spheres. 00:00 Remembering Charles Handy 01:33 Introduction to the Second Curve 02:37 The Concept of the Second Curve 04:32 Davy's Bar and the Importance of Change 09:50 Personal Stories and Life Lessons 18:54 The Three Selves and Identity 36:03 Leadership vs. Management 39:56 The Shamrock Organization 42:13 Citizenship in Organizations 45:36 Efficiency vs. Effectiveness 48:31 The Donut Theory 54:52 Final Thoughts and Legacy
Charles Handy's 21 Letters on Life and Its Challenges offers
Marion Debruyne (1972) is decaan van de Vlerick Business School in Gent. Ze studeerde burgerlijk scheikundig ingenieur, werd professor marketing bij Vlerick, woonde een tijd in de Verenigde Staten en is nu de baas van de Vlerick school, het imposante gebouw aan de Reep in Gent, het oude seminarie waar de priesters opgeleid werden toen er nog priesters waren. Ik moest in de Dean's Salon zijn, een sjieke vergaderzaal naast haar kantoor. Waar we aan beide kanten aangekeken werden door schilderijen met de beeltenis van André Vlerick, de oprichter van de Vlerick school. De zaal kijkt uit op het prachtige Geeraard de Duivelsteen en het water van de Reep in Gent. Op tafel lagen geen boeken, enkel een Ipad. Marion Debruyne vertelt hoe ze als 16-jarige in haar cocon kroop om te lezen, en hoe ze dat nu nog steeds doet als ze wil schrijven. Het gaat over haar ambitie als jong meisje, over haar tijd in Amerika. Ik vraag haar wat het moeilijkste is als decaan van een school als Vlerick. En verrassend: ze kiest een dichtbundel als één van haar drie boeken.

This episode I speak with Brian Bowman, learning strategist, capability expert and digital learning guru in Australia Pacific on how a leader can have a career conversation with their direct reports. When my company, Brainpower Training, won a tender to deliver customized Report Writing for Audit workshops in multiple cities for one of Australia's largest banks, Brian Bowman held a People and Culture role at that bank. We worked together closely to roll out those Report Writing programs. TALKING POINTS [6:40] So the career conversation for the leader is actually themselves having to step out of the day-to-day and ask, “Where do you want to go?” [7:30] Good questions to ask . . . “What brings you joy?” Because it gets people to think about, “When I'm in flow, when I'm really enjoying work, this is what I'm doing.” ”What are you drawn to?” is another really great question. People will naturally gravitate across their work day to things they really love and enjoy doing. You can ask people, “What do you want to do at work?” [11:00] The joy question can be offset with, “What do you hate doing?” It's such a brilliant way of exploring that career conversation. [13:00] Careers aren't linear, they might do a bit over here or something there. [14:00] People have different stages of their career. There might be a 3-year cycle. Charles Handy talks about the Sigmoid Curve, the S-curve. [15:46] Don't wait for someone's motivation to wane; change before you have to, always give a sense of progression to people in their career. To re-motivate people, start a second curve, [16:44] It's an interesting conundrum for leaders, how do I help people grow and drive their career? I want to retain and deliver great work across an organization but training people up might make them leave. [18:19] In the future it's helping people translate their impact in their career where they've been and what they would also bring to that next cycle of impact. [19:16] Younger people might ask for a promotion or more money, but maybe they haven't sailed in the storm yet. They say things like, “I do the same work as . . .” another. "Well, the other has 15 years' experience and hoisted the sails in the storm and survived and sailed it. Yes, you are doing the same job. But I know if something went wrong, they'll manage it appropriately." [21:10] Gallup strengths and the top 5. === ABOUT BRIAN BOWMAN Contact Brian Bowman via LinkedIn HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brianbowman2/ ABOUT PODCAST HOST, NINA SUNDAY Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@manageselfleadotherspodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Connect Nina Sunday on LinkedIn HERE: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ninasunday/ You can suggest a guest, ask a question, make a comment.

Today on ScaleUp Radio, I talk with Phil Anderton who founded ADHD 360 with two others about five years ago. In that time they've grown to 110 employees and 1100 new patients per month. So phenomenal growth in that time and it's all around ADHD and helping patients to lead their best life. Phil has a really interesting background and so many experiences to draw on, you can't fail to take something of huge value from this episode. Phil started off in the police and it was about 20 years ago when he first started looking into ADHD, but he rose to quite senior level within the police before setting up ADHD 360 5 years ago We talk around the people and leadership side of things, and how you keep control of a business that is growing that rapidly. Also he's in an environment where there's a fair bit of regulation and we have to make sure that we establish thought leadership and the credibility that we really can provide the level of trusted service that you would expect. There's also complications around dealing with the NHS as a potential partner. All sorts of great learnings and lessons within this episode. So I encourage you to go across and listen to the rest of Phil's story!

We live in a society .... so let's fix it!'The Second Curve' by Charles Handy is a collection of 16 essays reflecting on societal changes & predicting potential innovations of the future. It has a technology/management focus but is also broad and ties in with human wellbeing. There are a smattering of anecdotes & facts that help to reinforce his personal opinions and thoughts.I summarised the book as follows. "A typical problem with books of essays is continuity, but these were all crafted for this work. The topics are scattered but he shows clear & consistent thinking throughout. Really is more for provoking thoughts/discussion rather than solving actual societal problems. Perfect for people who prefer shorter form and I'd personally say was good but not mind shattering."I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.

Today I'm in conversation with Christina Wallace, author of the new book, The Portfolio Life: How to Futureproof Your Career, Avoid Burnout, and Build a Life Bigger Than Your Business Card.Charles Handy coined the term Portfolio Life in 1989 to argue that your life's work shouldn't be defined by one job, but that it could be a collection of passions, interests, and hobbies. Christina expands that definition to include relationships, community, personal growth and impact, creating a full portfolio across work and life. In the episode, you'll hear how the portfolio life invites you to own your agency in crafting the life you deserve.Thanks for Listening!If you liked this episode, please rate, review, and share the episode.

The Intuitive Customer - Improve Your Customer Experience To Gain Growth
A lot of the behavioral sciences can feel intimidating. However, it doesn't have to be. The Five Rules Podcast Series is our attempt at giving you an easy entry point into the complex and messy world of Behavioral Science. This podcast is full of bad advice. If you do follow the five rules we present, we guarantee you will fail. We realize this might be different than our usual Five Rules episode content. However, we think that presenting the way to fail might be the way to help you succeed. (How's that for a different kettle of fish?) For example, if you want to fail, we have the rules that will help you do it. They include doing any or all of the following: Not understanding the marketplace. Ignoring customer feedback. Failing to adapt to change. Not being authentic. Overlooking diversity and inclusion. In this episode, we explore why our five rules, otherwise known as what not to do in business, lead to failure for many brands you know, and in some cases, remember from before they crashed and burned. We share what we have learned by watching brands make silly mistakes (and hope none of you will make the same ones.) Key Ideas to Improve your Customer Experience The critical thing to remember here is that we don't want you to do these things. Instead, we encourage you to learn from these mistakes. So, if anything, we are telling you to break these five rules instead of following them. Here are some other key moments in the discussion: 04:07 We kick it off by explaining how if you don't understand the marketplace, you are sure to blow it with them, hastening your descent into failure. 10:53 We abandon all pretense of being organized, and share all five rules at once and then fit our examples under the various rules. 12:08 We discuss business guru Charles Handy's S-curve from The Empty Raincoat about how things ebb and flow in performance, and when is the best time to change. 19:50 Colin relates the five rules back to an article he read, “15 Famous Brands Who Failed to Innovate,” and how hubris plays a role. 23:46 Ryan explains how Victoria Secret might have fared better over time if they had more diversity and inclusion built into their leadership. _________________________________________________________________ Did you know we have a YouTube Channel too?

Am I, or can I be the leader my people need? This is a serious question every leader needs to pose to themselves and be able to answer with the utmost humility. There are different definitions of leadership, which can be subjective, but two quite resonate: Adeoye Mayowa defines leadership as the ability to evaluate and/or forecast a long-term plan or policy and influence their followers toward the achievement of the said strategy. Charles Handy (1992) also describes a leader as someone who shapes and shares a vision that gives direction to the work of others. This is an interesting and extensive topic of discussion, but it was broken down by a professional on today's podcast of Change Starts Here.Podcast host, Dustin Odham, brought on Principal Kafele, an author and transformational school leader, and a man so deeply ingrained in his purpose of leadership, to talk about how to be a transformational leader. He also spoke about his habit of discipline and how this can influence people and help him become the best version of himself. Kafele also explained how we can transfer transformational and influential leadership to our schools and kids to help them become the best version of themselves. "The struggle for the liberation of the minds of our children is worth dying for," Kafele said.Odham and Kafele also discussed…• How to create a learning revolution • How to get over speed bumps people put in front of themselves• Leadership advice on how to get people on board and build relationships"The children have to be able to see themselves in the learning if it's going to be relevant, if they are going to be able to embrace it, claim it, take ownership of it, and take it beyond the walls of the school," Kafele said. People only relate to what is in their lives (what is relevant to them); they relate to what they see themselves in."Can your teachers say they have grown exponentially because of the teachings and guidance they received from you?" How are you utilizing the human capital in your school? "Are you building people and nurturing relationships or stepping on people?" Kafele rhetorically asked, “Be brutally honest with yourself about the question, ‘Is my school a better place because I lead it?', and don't let your ego answer.”Always remember, it's never about you. "You can't be egocentric and think it's all about you—it's all about the people you lead; being a servant (servant leadership) is all that matters."Principal Kafele has been a highly regarded urban public school educator in New Jersey for over twenty years. He distinguished himself in the classroom and as a school leader. He is also the author of seven books, including his national best-sellers, “Motivating Black Males to Achieve in School and in Life”, “Closing the Attitude Gap”, and his recently released title, “The Principal 50: Critical Leadership Questions for Inspiring Schoolwide Excellence”. Kafele is the recipient of over one hundred educational, professional, and community awards, which include the National Alliance of Black School Educators Hall of Fame Award, the Milken National Educator Award, the New Jersey Education Association Award for Excellence, and the City of Dickinson, Texas, proclaiming February 8, 1998, as Baruti Kafele Day.

Rut 4: 18-22SUPONGO QUE NUESTRO TEXTO PARA LA REFLEXIÓN de hoy no es el favorito de ningún lector de las Escrituras. Sin embargo, es como el terreno donde sin buscarlo, un hombre consigue un tesoro escondido. Algo así como lo que le sucedió a Charles Handy, el conocido autor irlandés, cuando vio el árbol genealógico de su familia.Cuenta Handy que su padre, poco antes de morir, le entregó un sobre que decía «Documentos de la familia». Cuando abrió el sobre, vio ahí una relación detallada de sus antepasados: quién se llevó con quién, los hijos que nacieron de cada unión... Leyó, por ejemplo, de Samuel y Ethelreda, y pensó: «¡Qué triste que la vida termine apenas como un nombre en un árbol genealógico!». *Entonces, cuenta él, algo interesante sucedió. La lectura del árbol genealógico de la familia le recordó los últimos versículos del libro de Rut. De inmediato se dio cuenta de la gran verdad que tenía ante sus ojos: «De no haber sido por esos antepasados -Fares, Hezrón, Ram, Aminadab, Naasón... - el gran rey David no habría nacido», pensó. Y, por supuesto, si no hubiera sido por Samuel, Ethelreda, y todos los demás antepasados en su familia, él mismo no hubiera nacido.Handy había descubierto «un tesoro». Razonó que, quizás, su propósito en la vida es simplemente llegar a ser el antepasado de alguien importante, aunque él mismo no lo sea. Pensó, además, que el hecho de no ser alguien importante no le impidió a él hacer una contribución significativa a la humanidad.Lo que Charles Handy entendió ese día es que no habrá vivido en vano si al menos logra dejar este mundo un poquito mejor para sus descendientes. Y aunque seguramente terminará sus días, «en un árbol genealógico», lo consuela pensará que --- ¡quién sabe! ---quizás pueda aparecer en la línea de sus descendientes «un moderno rey David»; ¡cosa que no hubiera sido posible, si él, Charles Handy, no hubiera existido! **Hay aquí una preciosa lección para ti y para mí. Aunque tal vez no te haya dado cuenta; y aunque los periódicos no lo hayan publicado, ¡hay cosas buenas que han ocurrido en este mundo gracias a ti! Alrededor de ti hay gente que lo ha notado, y aprecia lo que ha hecho. Sobre todo, Dios lo ha notado, y un día recibirán tu recompensa, para la gloria de su nombre. Gracias, Padre celestial, porque no nací «por accidente». Así como hay un lugar especial donde he de testificar para ti, también hay un lugar especial para mí en la Patria celestial.* Carlos práctico; Esperando a que la Montaña se Mueva. Reflexiones sobre el trabajo y la vida, Jossey-Bass, 1999, p. 60. **Ibíd., pág. 61.

Charles is the founding CEO of A Blueprint for Better Business, an independent charity that acts as a catalyst for change in business. Blueprint helps businesses realise their true long term potential: to serve society, respect people, rediscover their purpose and thereby earn a fair and sustainable return for investors.In this episode, Charles talks about:Moving on as CEOWays in which he's improved as a leaderWhat it means to be a purpose-led organisationHow managers need to be with their teamsManaging change using Charles Handy's S-curveCharles initially qualified as an accountant with KPMG in London. He moved to the House of Commons as Clerk to the Trade and Industry Select Committee and subsequently worked as senior research officer at the Institute for Fiscal Studies. He went on to become assistant general secretary of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, where he was principal advisor to the Bishops on domestic public policy issues.
NUGGET CONTEXT Ravi refers to the work of Charles Handy and says that in the future, there will be three broad kinds of work – Creatives, Caregivers and Custodians. He goes on to say that it is critical that we map ourselves into one or two of the three and develop deep capabilities to ensure that we are the top of that particular field as there is a significant risk of commoditization if we are an “also ran” in a field. GUEST Ravi Venkatesan has been on the podcast about 5 years back. In that conversation we spoke about his journey and his transition from Cummins to Microsoft to Board Roles. In this conversation, we dive into his recently published book - What the Heck Do I Do with My Life. Some of the topics we cover include the notion of a punctuated equilibrium and the implication on how we adapt, being intentional about life, cultivating an abundance mindset (irrespective of how much we have), different forms of capital that we can work with, specialisation versus generalisation (do you want to be a bird or a frog) and what we can learn from the phenomenon of stotting in the animal kingdom (and the link with personal branding).

In March 2020, Millions of us left the office to begin a new way of working and work has never been the same since. The debate about hybrid working continues to exercise the minds of many senior execs but is hybrid working just a mere consequence of something much greater than about where we work but instead how we work, why we work and the culture and purpose of who we work for?My guest this week argues in her new book The Nowhere Office that we have a unique opportunity to reset the world of work and how we work in the future. Julia Hobsbawm writes extensively about work culture, work-life balance, and the age of overload. Julia is Chair of The Demos Workshift Commission and Founder and Chair of Editorial Intelligence. In 2021 she was listed in the HR Most Influential List. Her book The Simplicity Principle won Best Business Book of 2020 whilst Fully Connected was shortlisted for Management Book of the Year. In The Nowhere Office, Julia Hobsbawm draws upon history, cutting-edge research and data and extensive interviews with some of the world's leading workplace thinkers and philosophers looking at the social, cultural and political context of the changes in the workplace. For the HR profession, the challenge is immense and if as Julia describes HR as the 'undernourished bullied child of the c-suite', what future does the profession have if it fails to respond to the world of The Nowhere Office.In this fascinating episode you'll discover:What does working in an office mean today? The office used to be about the 'place' but now it's about so much more such as how we work and why we work;Julie describes the pandemic as the 'tipping point'. Workers frustration with the world of work was already there and the pandemic became the agent of change;Some commentators have argued that hybrid working is great for the worker but the benefits are less clear for the organisations. Julia disputes this view that if hybrid working is good for employees then surely that's good for the organisation;Her view on 'Peloton' Politics' and 'Flex Shaming'- and the media stories surrounding some senior government workers who've found more time for the exercises regime;How time has been called on offices being 'palaces of presenteeism';How existing management and leadership systems are not fit for purpose as evidenced by low productivity, absenteeism and toxic work culture;To be at the vanguard of future organisational life, HR needs to shed some layers and 'kill some darlings';At their worst, HR have been the enablers of 'terrible leadership' but redemption for JR is possible by championing 'social health'How the office of the future is likely to resemble a private members' club or an airline loungeResources:https://ovenreadyhr.comhttps://www.juliahobsbawm.com/https://www.hachette.co.uk/titles/julia-hobsbawm/the-nowhere-office/9781529396522/https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcasthost/Twitter: @OvenHrhttps://www.personneltoday.comTell me me what YOU thinkTell me what you think of this interview.

University & Business Partnerships with Dr David Spicer Small businesses looking to develop business partnerships with Universities should pay attention to this podcast. Dr David Spicer works for The University of Bradford. David later spent time working in retail with Woolworths where he ran a shop. Later, he spent time in their HR department His academic focus became how organisations learn. The research was all about how managers shared knowledge with others in the team. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Organisation-Learning.mp4 David has been driven by the idea of business partnerships. University and Business Partnerships Have Driven David's Career David mentioned Charles Handy. Never heard of him? Well, here's a link to The Wisdom of Charles Handy http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Management-Approach.mp4 "We need to be as applied as we can be", says Dr David Spicer. To kevin's point regarding Balanced Scorecards - he can teach the theory in university easily, but it is the practical application with politics and the right content that will make it zing! Students Who Work in Industry Out-Perform Those That Don't http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Better-Outcomes.mp4 The thing about being a student is you want to immerse yourself in the potential a university offers. If you want a continuation of schools spoon feeding you, then you're shorting your own future. Bradford University builds into their programmes, the opportunities to gain experience, build confidence and get valuable understanding which will make entry into the workforce a great deal easier. In this clip, David explains the real benefits for both students and businesses from the programme at Bradford University. How to make yourself compelling to an employer! http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Benefits-for-Business-Students.mp4 The Knowledge Transfer Network For more information on KTN, go here. The University puts on seminars for local small businesses. Imparting knowledge and facilitating networking. Students come along too. Times Higher Education Award went to Bradford University for BUSINESS SCHOOL OF THE YEAR. David encourages small businesses to see local universities as a resource. For instance, collaborative reports. The universities have students who are keen to work with businesses. The students themselves are supported by academic faculty members. They can help you get that report done. You know, that report you've not got round to doing. No Front Door At Universities This is a challenge for the Universities to make it easier for businesses to find their way into the university itself. The Business School at Bradford relocated to the main campus. This makes the university a bigger and better hub. David says it makes the place more permeable for students and businesses. Is the Future Looking Good for Small Businesses? http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Small-Business-Future.mp4 Kevin makes the point that learning is accelerating because of the internet. He sees LinkedIn learning. Is it a threat to universities? Any encouragements into your model is a threat, says David. But, there is space for different programmes. Universities offer professional standards accreditation too, alongside degrees. The other big dynamic that has changed the sector is the apprenticeship. None of this will undermine the value of a University degree.

So many gems in this conversation - don't make a category error of turning efficiency into purpose, curiosity as the start of creativity and the difference between Managers (in charge of things) and Leaders (in charge of people) - intermixed with stories e.g. the road to Davy's Bar and why read Antigone by Sophocles.

The secret to innovation is …. that there is no secret! There are a few things to consider but these are definitely not secret. Also, please do not believe that Innovation is the preserve of a select few, the Innovation Gurus that have sprung up everywhere. As the great Charles Handy once said ‘guru is just an American word for charlatan'. Once you have worked out what works for you, simply practise and repeat. There are however a couple of things to remember.

If you want to give your business the edge when it comes to strategic decision making then don't miss this. Enjoy! What you'll learn: How Sherril first discovered there was more to decision making than met the eye. The biggest mistakes organisations make in decision making. The connection between our movements and decision making. How this affects individuals and teams. Which levels of the organization this applies to and why.

Companies shall act in the interests of people, and the biosphere.As we've mentioned in recent episodes, from the standpoint of the biosphere, humanity's existence is felt primarily through industrialisation. Resource extraction, pollution, as well as much monoculture in agriculture have taken their toll on both the biosphere and many of the people it supports. Indeed, while populations have been increasingly "farmed" over the decades, the characterisation by technology companies of humanity as end-users to be addicted and data to be mined is an obvious extension of this outlook. And these exploitations are often the preserve not of individual people but of companies, with their diffuse networks of responsibility and "the corporate veil."But things could be different. In this episode we re-imagine the role of companies in our world as inverted: from the current slavishness to the global monetary system and its obfuscating pipework of corporate ownership - to something that privileges human value in the context of our life-support system, the biosphere.Talking Points:Picking apart the principle: the real is almost the reverse of the idealThe corporate veil as central to the current version of capitalismThe ethical drift in corporate behaviour over the last several decadesFree-flowing capital before and after WW2: neoliberalismThis is not an insurmountable problem: we can reinvent the systemCrystallising public opinionTomorrow's Company - since the 1980'sA case in point: demutualisation of AA and RAC, submission to global monetary systemDesign- and Systems thinking vs the pressures of neo-liberalism:Other "tomorrow's companies" - The Body Shop - hinges on structures of ownershipJapanese management in manufacturing: raising the global standard through competitive pressureW Edwards DemingConsumer power, shareholder power and greenwashingPaying the true cost is possible - if you can afford itFlooding brought people together, and they never felt happierWhat is it to be human?

This led to the inquiry ‘Tomorrow's Company – the role of business in a changing world', led by Sir Anthony Cleaver, then Chairman of IBM, which culminated in a report of the same name published in 1995.Here's the original report from the RSA:https://www.tomorrowscompany.com/publication/rsa-inquiry-tomorrows-company-the-role-of-business-in-a-changing-world/Its current incarnation, 30 years later - https://www.tomorrowscompany.com - Still interesting and forward looking, although their prioritising away from society and toward the embrace of disruptive innovation diverges from our ideal of systems thinking:"[...]In 2016, in the light of all the organisation's learning and experience in working with companies and investors, Tomorrow's Company report, UK Business: What's Wrong?

Today I'm joined by Tina McDonald who is a workplace trainer for leadership and management apprentices. She talking today about how leadership is not about you. Listen for some fabulous info about how Tina trains our leaders of the future. A great example of influence, empowerment and changing culture What common themes does Tina see with Leadership? I think you're going to love this episode Tina works at Milton Keynes college with apprentice managers at Level 3 who are on a journey of improving themselves as managers or potential managers across the course of a year. It's quite gruelling for them and Tina spends 12 months highlighting all the great things about leadership and turning them into leaders she would want her children to work for. Emma shares a popular phrase of her about there is no ‘management manual' because people get promotions because they're good at what they do but then they don't have the additional skills to lead and manage people. Tina shares that it's not about ticking boxes but understanding what the boxes are there for so that you're doing 70% of the job really well and 30% is the leadership stuff that no-one understands until they actually do a qualification. She shares an example of aligning a SMART Goal around making a cup a tea. And the conversation flows about knowing where to improve, to increase performance, carry out good evaluation, reviewing goals, looking at targets and seeing if things are fit for purpose. Tina talks about the value of leadership models on such as evaluating and giving feedback but following a model so that it's done well. The lessons learnt are always “I won't do that again” and it might be simple but without the training and support they will end up with no-one who wants to work for them. What common themes does Tina see with Leadership? In operational management they look at operational strategy and look up. Where do they want to be, how do they know when they've arrived. You can see the fear come in because they know there's a task to do at the end of every learning. They realise quite often that some of the senior managers don't always have a clue what they're doing. We also look at culture in the workplace. She uses Charles Handy's model because it's simple. They get to start to see how cultures become a concrete thing that they think they cannot change. It can be damaging if it's not the right fit for the organisation Tina shares a fabulous example of how one of her apprentices made a change in the workplace as a result of a talk that happened on her course. The reason Tina is passionate about ‘it's not about you' is because these are the leaders of the future. If they're not passionate about that, they don't start the course because they don't like the work that has to going into it right from the beginning. Those that do get to the end, realise they've learnt so much about themselves, they're doing for everyone else, not just themselves. Leadership allows people the self confidence to do things, try things and not carry guilt or shame around the decision and actions that they take or the things that don't go well.

NUGGET CONTEXT Darleen speaks about how organizations are beginning to think about the role of the office in the future. She provides her perspective on the insight from Charles Handy who said “An office will be like a club: a place for eating, meeting, and greeting, with rooms reserved for activities, not people” GUEST Over the last year and a quarter, since March 2020, a lot of us have been thrown into this work from anywhere world without any prior preparation. It is like being thrown into the deep end of a swimming pool without any prior training. We have had to figure out our own response to the evolving situation. While there has been no shortage of wisdom and webinars, I have been looking for a research backed view to learn from. In that context, I am excited to bring the next conversation with Darleen DeRosa (Consultant at SpencerStuart's Stamford office) and author of Leading at a Distance: Practical Lessons for Virtual Success, that she has co-authored with her colleague Jim Citrin, who leads SpencerStuart's North American CEO practice and is a core member of the firm's Board practice. SpencerStuart is one of the world's leading Leadership Advisory Services firms. Darleen has been studying Remote Work since 2008 long before COVID struck. Given a lot of the listeners to this podcast are leaders in India or of Indian origin, we have also weaved in insights from some of the leaders in SpencerStuart in India (Ritu Kochhar, Sahiba Singh, Atul Bhandari and Rohit Kale) to contextualize the insights. We speak about nuances in building relationships in 2D, driving accountability in a virtual world, what the office of the future looks like, effective remote leadership hiring, facilitating effective transitions, managing your energy in a relentless, all consuming online world and much more.

In today's episode of Climb In Consulting I speak with Tom Hewson, Senior Partner at RedCompass Labs, the specialist consultancy that helps financial institutions accelerate their payments and financial crime programmes. Tom's journey to where he is today has been rather unorthodox and is a great lesson in following your passion and being attuned to the opportunities that can come from it. Over his career he's gone from running his own record label, to IT contracting, through to launching RedCompass Labs, which he and the team have built into a consultancy of over 100 financial services specialists with offices across the globe. With such a varied career there was a lot for us to dig in to in this one and Tom and I talk about a whole range of really important topics for any consultant. Many of which I've not discussed with any other guest before. We cover everything from his early days in music all the way through to his approach to leading the RedCompass Labs team today, and quite a bit in between. Some of the highlights include: - Why following the money is never the right decision and how to cultivate happiness through finding your passion, whether that's within consulting or outside of it. - Tom's advice on building a highly diverse team – having created a team with over 20 nationalities represented – what he looks for at interview and why cultivating the ‘immigrant mindset' could be the key to your career success. - And what you should think about if you're looking to give back to your industry, the benefits of overinvesting in CSR and the return that RedCompass Labs have seen from their own initiative, the RedCompass Labs RedFlag Accelerator, the most comprehensive global database of Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking red flags specific for the financial sector. I really enjoyed this conversation with Tom. We cover a lot of different, and at times, deep topics, that I know you're really going to enjoy. Having been pointed to Tom by my friend James Mitra at JBM, I was expecting a good interview and Tom certainly exceeded those expectations. Whether you're trying to find your passion and break into the consulting industry, or you're looking to learn how you can build a highly diverse team in your current firm, I know you're going to get a ton from this episode.

Charles Handy is one a giant of contemporary thought. His books on management – including "Understanding Organisations" and "Gods of Management" – have changed the way we view business. His work on broader issues and trends – such as "Beyond Certainty" – has changed the way we view society. In "The Second Curve", he builds on a life's work to glimpse into the future and see what challenges and opportunities lie ahead. He looks at current trends in capitalism and asks whether it is a sustainable system. He explores the dangers of a society built on credit. He challenges the myth that remorseless growth is essential. He even asks whether we should rethink our roles in life – as students, parents, workers and voters – and what the aims of an ideal society of the future should be. Provocative and thoughtful as ever, he sets out the questions we all need to ask ourselves – and points us toward some answers. I was fortunate to spend an evening with Charles in his home in London. He is an incredible man with an intriguing view of things. This was a memorable moment for me as I met a personal hero. We discuss: Disruption Efficiency v Effectiveness Management v Leadership Purpose Shamrock Organisations Doughnut Projects Communities in Organisations Education Parenting and so much more

In Britain, something is happening that hasn't for 100 years. More people are becoming incredibly wealthy, not only through inheritance, but also because of their own hard work. A phenomenon on this scale has not happened since the Victorian industrialists. In this audio lecture, Philosopher Charles Handy tells his 2007 Skoll World Forum audience about entrepreneurs who put their energies into meeting some perceived social need—something that government never gets around to and that private enterprise typically doesn't see a market for. https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/charles_handy_-_the_new_philanthropists
