UK national newspapers have called HR a "parasite," "bloated" and a "shadow empire" – and the vitriol keeps coming.The criticism has been enough to drive the CIPD's chief executive, Peter Cheese, to defend the profession's work in an open letter.

Send us a text“It wasn't until I stopped drinking that I realized how bad life got.”  ~ Duncan Bhaskaran BrownGuest Bio: Duncan Bhaskaran Brown drank. Wine, cider, brandy. Whatever people had.  After 20 years of wanton excess, he cleaned up his act and trained with the world's most successful stop smoking clinic. Which wasn't enough. He studied at Cornell University, the Chartered Management Institute and a windowless room in Peterborough. Which wasn't enough. He wrote a couple of books, including ‘Real Men Quit', the armchair macho guide to beating booze. Which wasn't enough. He's interviewed sober superstars and conducted research projects which involved watching TV. Which wasn't enough. What would be enough? Imagine if alcohol-free was the default, if sober was normal and if alcohol stops destroying people. Maybe then Duncan would grab a mint tea and sci-fi novel and relax.

Dominic Monkhouse explores the importance of intentional leadership and creating a strong company culture with John DiJulius from The DiJulius GroupA recent survey of 4,500 UK workers by the Chartered Management Institute found that 82% of those in management positions are 'accidental managers', and have little training or qualifications. The problem is that to be an effective leader you need to develop a whole new set of skills and competencies. John and Dominic highlight the need for formal training for managers and the lack of training in areas such as difficult conversations and interviewing. Their conversation also delves into the concept of purpose in the workplace and the changing attitudes towards hustle culture. The recruitment process is discussed, emphasising creating a unique and engaging experience for candidates. The importance of knowing employees' aspirations and helping them achieve their goals is also emphasised. In this conversation, John DiJulius and Dominic Monkhouse discuss the importance of encouraging and believing in others to help them reach their full potential. They also talk about the power of positive thinking, the impact of personal experiences on leadership, and the value of creating a remarkable customer experience. John shares his personal journey of overcoming challenges and how he has used his experiences to inspire and motivate others. They also touch on the concept of making price irrelevant and the importance of treating customers and employees based on their individual needs.Keywordsleadership, company culture, formal training, difficult conversations, interviewing, purpose, hustle culture, recruitment process, employee aspirations, encouragement, belief, potential, positive thinking, leadership, customer experience, personal journey, challenges, price irrelevant, individual needsTakeawaysLeaders should be intentional and create a strong company culture.Managers should receive formal training, especially in areas like difficult conversations and interviewing.The concept of purpose in the workplace is important for all generations.The recruitment process should be unique and engaging to attract top talent.Knowing employees' aspirations and helping them achieve their goals is crucial for employee retention.

Ever wondered if you might be drinking a bit too much or eating without being hungry? Or escaping from certain feelings and trying to numb them with an external "habit"? In this episode, my guest will share his deep experience and guide you to create your freedom from not only alcohol but any type of addiction you might have. Meet my guest: Duncan Bhaskaran Brown is a Speaker, Author, and Morris Dancer. Duncan has done his fair share of overindulgence. Strictly speaking, he's drunk more than his fair share of wine and eaten more kebabs than he cares to remember. After 20 years of overdoing it, he cleaned up his act and trained with the world's most successful stop smoking service. But that wasn't enough. He studied at Cornell University, the Chartered Management Institute, and in a windowless room in Peterborough. All this led him to write a couple of books, most recently ‘Real Men Quit,' the armchair macho guide to beating booze and finding the life you want. He's interviewed scores of sober superstars and conducted research projects which involved watching TV.   Connect Duncan here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/soberwarriorcoach/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/duncanbhaskaranbrown/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BhaskaranBrown Website: https://www.bhaskaranbrown.com/ Amazon:  https://amzn.to/4aoXvQf Listener freebie: https://www.getover.uk

It is an indictment of the value organisations place on management, in Ann Francke's view, that 82% of those promoted into these roles have had no proper training.This week on Leadership Lessons, the Chartered Management Institute's chief discusses why the prevalence of so-called 'accidental managers' is bad news for organisations, the economy and, of course, the individuals being managed.She also explains why blanket return-to-the-office edicts are about "control", how self-confidence and self-awareness are the foundation of good management, and the reasons why she chooses to be honest about past failures.Credits:Presenter: Antonia Garrett PeelProducer: Til OwenArtwork: David Robinson#management #leadership Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to Compliance Clarified's 100th episode!This week Rachel Wolcott, senior editor and Lindsey Rogerson, senior editor in London speak to a specialguest Ann Francke Chief Executive of the Chartered Management Institute in London, a professional body for management and leadership. This International Women's Day podcast looks at the backlash that's hit efforts to get women into the workplace and on an equal footing. We focus on financial services, but this is an issue that reverberates throughout society. In financial services, there has been a backlash against environment, social and governance (ESG) initiatives and despite a lot of talk about diversity and inclusion, such efforts have stalled. Fear of ESG and D&I has been conflated into an anti-woke and in some places, anti-woman agenda and with some politicians and pundits describing measures to tackle climate change and inequality as a societal risk. Equality initiatives are also some of the first to get cut when things get tough.The Chartered Management Institute, for example, found that one in three male managers (31%) think that too much effort is going into ensuring workplace gender balance. So, how do companies, financial services firms and regulators who want to take D&I or ESG forward stand up to the political and societal backlash?More on Ann:She started her career at Procter & Gamble and has held senior executive positions at Mars, Boots, Yell and BSI. In 2020, Ann was awarded an OBE for services to workplace equality. Ann is an expert on gender balance in the workplace and speaks frequently in the media and conferences on this and other management topics. Her book (https://amzn.eu/d/bCRewdP) on gender balance - Create a Gender-balanced Workplace, published in September 2019.Links to previous International Women's Day podcasts:2023 Season 7, Episode 7: International Women's Day special: How to ensure diversity and inclusion initiatives deliver meaningful outcomes - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/season-7-episode-7-international-womens-day-special/id1548510826?i=10006032625242022 Season 4, Episode 6: Celebrating International Women's Day -https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/season-4-episode-6-celebrating-international-womens-day/id1548510826?i=1000553278776 Contact usrachel.wolcott@thomsonreuters.comlindsey.rogerson@thomsonreuters.comMore information about Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence: https://legal.thomsonreuters.com/en/products/regulatory-intelligence Compliance Clarified is a podcast from Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence.Listen to wide-ranging, insightful discussions on all things compliance for financial services firms.

The role of managers are pivotal in our working lives but most managers aren't trained or prepared for the responsibilities that they are given.When we look at the research from Gallup about burnout and why people hate their jobs managers are regarded as having the biggest responsibility. Half of people who say they don't rate their manager say they are looking for jobs. So what can we do to make our relationship with our managers better?

Nigel Paine and Martin Couzins take a look at the latest research from the Chartered Management Institute into the state of UK managers.

Is UK management just not good enough? Ever wondered why UK companies are still struggling to recover from the 2008 financial crisis, while their international counterparts seem to have moved on? Curious about why no UK company features among the world's top 25? Join us on Bob and Jeremy's Conflab to explore these realities and delve into the heart of the UK's management crisis. We dissect the factors behind this problem, from the lack of tech giants and innovators, to a surprising satisfaction with mediocre financial success among the UK's entrepreneurs.Imagine a scenario where 80% of senior positions are occupied by 'accidental managers'. Sounds like a recipe for disaster, doesn't it? Well, that's precisely what's happening in the UK, according to a recent survey by the Chartered Management Institute and YouGov. These managers, unprepared for their roles, demonstrate poor leadership and are responsible for poor morale and plummeting productivity. The lack of appropriate investment in training managers and the resulting impact on employee performance and loyalty is another alarming trend we discuss.What are the solutions? We discuss the role of 'accidental sales managers' and the harmful impact of short-term strategies. We highlight the importance of every customer interaction and the potential benefits of investing in quality managers with the appropriate skill set. Wrapping up this enlightening episode, we share a quote from the visionary Steve Jobs, encapsulating the essence of customer experience. This conversation promises to be both eye-opening and thought-provoking, so make sure to tune in!For more info, free resources, useful content and our blog posts please visit www.realitytraining.comReality Training - Selling Certainty

We can probably all think of examples of bad bosses – the people who we love to gossip about with our colleagues outside work. And even if you're lucky enough to have had good experiences of management, you may be familiar with bad bosses from popular culture. But what makes a good manager and how can you inspire people in the workplace? It's a question that's been debated since the Industrial Revolution when rapidly expanding companies needed a way of controlling their workers. From there developed various theories of management, some of which drew on aspects of sociology and psychology. Rajan Datar is joined by Ann Francke, the chief executive of the Chartered Management Institute in the UK; Monica Musonda, the CEO of Java Foods in Zambia; and Todd Bridgman, Professor of Management Studies and Head of the School of Management at Victoria University of Wellington / Te Herenga Waka in New Zealand. We'll also present a selection of comments and experiences sent in by Forum listeners. Produced by Fiona Clampin (Photo credit: Getty/Luis Alvarez)

Brits love to moan about their managers – but maybe they have a point. The vast majority of bosses in the UK get no formal training on how to lead, and most MPs don't think improving the quality of management should be a priority, according to polling and data from the Chartered Management Institute. Host Isabel Berwick speaks to Ann Francke, head of the CMI, to find out where British managers go wrong – and what better leadership could do for the British economy. Later, she speaks to the FT's US financial editor, Brooke Masters, and Lucy Fisher, the FT's Whitehall editor and host of the Political Fix podcast. They discuss what UK leaders could learn from their US counterparts, and why bad British leadership starts from the top.Leadership skills neglected for too long, warns UK management bodyCBI to recruit new president as part of governance overhaulWhat Lucy Letby tells us about the NHS culture of secrecy and denialWorkplace flattery gets you everywhereRead a transcript of this episode on FT.com Hosted on Acast.

No one's perfect, not even Barbie, and we should stop expecting it of our female leaders. That's the view of Tamara Box, this week's guest on Show Me The Way. She's a global business leader and Managing Partner, Europe and Middle East for law firm Reed Smith, as well as the trustee on the Chartered Management Institute board and chair of the CMI Women's Committee.  In this week's episode, Tamara talks about breaking expectations of female perfectionism in the workplace, and the need to create an environment where women can not only get to the top, but want to be there and stay there.  We discuss society's expectations of female leaders and the sad fact this means many end up falling off the glass cliff and we go into some depth on Alison Rose, the CEO of NatWest who recently resigned.  Hear her expand upon her view of the importance of kindness in leadership and the power of the corporate sisterhood, reinvention and resilience. Tamara also has some great book recommendations.     For Emmeline's bookshelf Tamara recommends:  The Magic Treehouse series Jack Stalwart Secret Agent

It has been a decade since HOPE not hate released its first groundbreaking Fear & HOPE report, the biggest investigation into identity undertaken in Britain. This year, following ten years of political upheaval, HNH has released a new Fear & HOPE report to better understand how social attitudes have changed during that time. In the recovery from a global pandemic but heading into economic recession, amidst a political context of culture wars, Brexit fallouts and fracturing across the political spectrum, our research finds a new alignment of identity politics, and the emergence of a new reactionary right threat.To tie in with the report's release Rosie Carter, its author and HOPE not hate's Director of Policy, sits down with Anthony Painter, Director of Policy and External Affairs at the Chartered Management Institute who co-authored the original Fear & HOPE.Taking a broad view, the two examine the key takeaways from the report and try to establish what has changed in the intervening years.You can read the Fear & HOPE 2022 report here: https://hopenothate.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Fear-HOPE-2022-FINAL-1.pdf------Podcast produced by Nick Spooner------♪ Alone (Prod. by Lukrembo) Link : https://youtu.be/fLXLhOyo-2w

Develop a magnetic message that will resonate with your ideal client that they'd want to learn more about you. Take all of your years of experience, skill sets, and expertise and package it in a way that your ideal clients would want to buy what you offer.Good marketing is all about getting in front of your ideal client consistently with a message that they want to hear, providing valuable insights, information, and ideas to clients. They won't only know you exist, they would be excited to hear from you. People don't just want to buy a product, they want to know your story; the real story of the people behind your company. Tell your story, because if you don't either clients will not be able to align with you or they'll make their own story about you.  “That's meaningful success - it's not just about the accumulation of things or money, it's really about being able to live a life that you desire and dream of on your own terms.” - Michael Zipursky Connect with Michael Zipursky: Twitter: https://twitter.com/MichaelZipursky Website: https://www.consultingsuccess.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zipursky/ Try Our Proven, 3-Step System, Guaranteeing Accountability and Transparency that Drives RESULTS by clicking on this link: https://oneofakindsales.com/call-center-in-a-box/ Click on this link to download a FREE digital copy of The Inside Sales Solution: https://form.jotform.com/212374882793164 Connect with Nancy Calabrese:  Twitter: https://twitter.com/oneofakindsales Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/One-Of-A-Kind-Sales-304978633264832/ Website: https://oneofakindsales.com Phone: 908-879-2911  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ncalabrese/ Email: leads@oneofakindsales.com

Dan Toma is an innovation thought leader and the co-author of two of my favorite books on innovation. The award-winning book The Corporate Startup, (awarded "Management Book of the Year for Innovation and Entrepreneurship" by Chartered Management Institute and The British Library in 2018) and his latest, Innovation Accounting. Dan started his career in entrepreneurship, being involved with technology startups across the world. Puzzled by the questions "Why are innovative products mainly launched by startups?," together with his team at the consultancy company OUTCOME, he focuses on enterprise innovation transformation. Specifically on the changes blue-chip organizations need to make to allow for new ventures to be built in a corporate setting. A big proponent of the ecosystem approach to innovation, Dan has also worked with various government bodies, in Asia and Europe, helping develop national innovation ecosystems and implement national innovation strategies. Most noteworthy is his work in the economic aid program of the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Vietnam where he helped design and manage a nationwide business acceleration program and supported the capability development activities. Dan was also featured on the Thinkers50 2020 Radar list of "Management Thinkers to Watch," while also being a member of the World Economic Forum's working group on accelerating digital transformation. In this podcast he shares: Why the traditional financial metrics we use to manage our core business are inappropriate for measuring innovation.While many people say things like “you have to measure innovation differently” or “we need to start measuring learning rather than revenue for innovation to work,” Dan gives us really tangible, practical advice on how to measure the right things.He also argues that we should not be focused on big “moon shot” ideas and what we should be focused on instead.__________________________________________________________________________________________"There's a gap in the market. There's a lot that talks about employees.There's a lot that talks about customers, and then loosely we'll talk about them together. But what is the value? We went out and did some primary research, and we found that brands that do that really well in the U.S. is 1.8X faster growth rates. For a billion-dollar brand, it's a $40-million impact."-Dan Toma__________________________________________________________________________________________Episode Timeline:00:00—Introducing Dan Toma + The topic of today's episode2:32—If you really know me, you know that...2:50—What is your definition of strategy?4:40—What got you interested in strategy?5:27—What are you most known for?5:56—Could you tell us about how Covid-19 has shifted companies' approach to innovation?8:59—What are some of the pitfalls of financial accounting?11:10—Can you give us an indicator or metric that can help us gauge how much we're learning?12:50—How do you measure a learning? 13:30—What do people get wrong? 14:50—What's the error in measuring innovation of "moon shot" ideas?16:00—What's something you've changed your mind about?17:13—Could you describe the framework you lay out in Corporate Startup?18:36—How can people follow, find and learn from you?__________________________________________________________________________________________Additional Resources: Company page: https://weareoutcome.co/Twitter: https://twitter.com/danto_maLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dantoma/Books: https://weareoutcome.co/books/

Former British Army officer, now Dr. Graham Cable, is a Research Fellow in the Forces in Mind Trust (FiMT) Research Centre based at the Veterans & Families Institute for Military Social Research, Anglia Ruskin University (in the UK). His role is to provide advice and guidance to FiMT-funded researchers commissioned from among UK based research organizations (including other universities), and to author publicly accessible summaries and reviews of that research; all in support of FiMT's wider objectives to enable ex-military personnel make a successful and sustainable transition to civilian life. He also acts as his university's Armed Forces Community Inclusion Lead working alongside leadership, teaching, and support staff to ensure accessibility of courses and staff roles for serving regular and reserve military personnel, as well as veterans and family members. His former military career was cut short by medical discharge, which heralded a difficult transition, prompting him to undertake his doctorate to explore the experience. Graham saw his thesis as a means to continue his own lifelong learning journey, and to encourage other military leavers and veterans to do the same. It was this enduring sense of educational duty that brought him to his current role, as well as to membership of an international community of like-minded scholars and professionals; which led to this podcast. Graham publishes and peer reviews academic papers, supervises postgraduate (including doctoral) dissertations, and undertakes teaching and examining roles. He has also been appointed by the UK Government's Minister for Defence People and Veterans as a member of his regional Veterans Advisory and Pensions Committee, which ensures veterans are supported in his local area. He has recently been invited to join the editorial team of an international veterans' studies journal. Between leaving the Army and taking up his current position, Graham acted as a consultant in various NATO headquarters, as well as in teaching and undertaking professional roles in other universities. He is a member of the UK's Chartered Institute of Linguists (fluent in Spanish) and Chartered Management Institute. Just as he is determined to succeed in his own military-to-civilian transition, he strives to ensure others can do the same and sees education as fundamental to this. He discusses that in this podcast.
