Your company has a long history of putting together strategic plans. And you have diligently read them all in a search to understand the intentions of prior leaders. But as you look them over you are concerned. There are lots of todo lists, action items, and budgets, but the underlying plan seems to lack something important - a strategy. You can't quite explain why this is the case, but you can tell when that intangible quality is missing. Perhaps, there should be a better way to tell than just raw instinct, but how?

Inspiring Thin-Skinned Employees: Transforming Insults into Inspirations

Welcome to the latest episode of Chronicles from a Caribbean Cubicle Podcast. In this episode, our host Francis Wade shares insight on transforming the hypersensitivity found in employees into an urge for purposeful contributions. The discussion digs deeper into the significance of understanding the root cause of hypersensitivity in workplaces rather than addressing the surface-level symptoms. This enlightening piece reveals three strategic perspectives that can shape more profound senses of purpose and inspiration among office staff. The concept of Hurricane Heroics is introduced and explores how exceptional potential can be unlocked even without a catastrophic event. It highlights the idea that the anticipation of a significant future can alter human behavior and influence extraordinary output from employees. The discussion proceeds to explore the concept of an Urgent Inspiring Future as a tool for harnessing the power of purpose. By anticipating a return to normalcy, people are empowered to bounce back quickly after a hurricane. Similarly, crafting a joint future that deviates from the usual could offer employees a compelling 'why' and consequently foster higher productivity levels. Wade further discusses the value of 'Your Company's Peculiar Destination', advising managers not to shy away from asking for more output from employees. Through this, he encourages managers to challenge their staff with a potential meaning for them to fulfill, thus unleashing their gut desire for a sense of accomplishment and more value in their roles. This episode ends with a crucial advocacy for purpose over comfort. Vouching for this strategy, Wade confirms that by creating a shared future vision that transcends the mundane, managers can tap into their employees' inherent desire for meaning. This strategy ultimately leads to a more passionate and determined team that willingly surpasses its perceived limitations. Wade concludes the episode with an invitation to Caribbean companies facing unsolved problems related to strategy, productivity, engagement, or business process improvement to explore a fresh line of thinking through his previous articles.

In the period of extreme violence, Wade draws out how the U.N., and more broadly, how Western backers of the apparent political transition to democratisation contemporaneously ignored the unfolding situation.

In 2017, Myanmar's military launched a campaign of widespread targeted violence against its Rohingya minority. The horrific atrocities was later described by United Nations experts as genocide. This had been building since 2012, when earlier ethnic violence erupted between Buddhists and Muslims in Western Myanmar. These very grave incidents leading to the deaths and also the flight of thousands of Rohingya to neighbouring Bangladesh was the most concentrated exodus of people since the genocide in Rwanda in 1994. In Myanmar's Enemy Within: Buddhist Violence and the Making of the Muslim 'Other' (Zed Books, 2017, 2019), Francis Wade identifies the underlying causes which flamed division, segregation and resulted in a horrific loss of life and violence. Wade explores how the manipulations by a ruling elite turned prompted neighbours to take up arms against neighbour, by politicising ethnic identity.  The crisis is contextualised in the legacy of British colonialism which calcified the previously fluid dynamics of cultural groups across the country.The military junta is shown to have exploited these divisions in its campaign which targeted the Rohingya minority. In the period of extreme violence, Wade draws out how the U.N., and more broadly, how Western backers of the apparent political transition to democratisation contemporaneously ignored the unfolding situation. Through his on-the-ground accounts, Wade explores how citizens experiencing rights and freedoms unseen for half a century, under a much lauded civilian leaders such as Aung San Suu Kyi, became complicit in this humanitarian catastrophe.  Francis Wade is a journalist specialising in Myanmar and Southeast Asia. He began reporting on Myanmar in 2009 and went on to cover in-depth the transition from military rule and the violence which accompanied it.

In 2015, following Myanmar's first free election in a quarter-century, Western governments, including that of the United States, staked their hopes for democracy on Myanmar’s de facto civilian leader, Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi. Once regarded as a nascent democracy, Myanmar has sharply backslid in recent years. Suu Kyi’s denial of what the United Nations deems a genocide of the country’s Rohingya population coupled with her fall from power in February’s military coup, shows the limits, and perhaps naivety, of Western-backed democracy promotion.    This week, guest host and Eurasia Group Foundation research fellow Caroline Baxter speaks with journalist Francis Wade. They discuss America's attempts to curb the humanitarian and political crises in Myanmar, and the options (or lack thereof) confronting the Biden administration.   Francis Wade is a freelance journalist with extensive experience reporting on South and South-East Asia. He is also the author of Myanmar’s Enemy Within: Buddhist Violence and the Making of a Muslim ‘Other’. You can follow Francis on Twitter at @Francis_Wade.

The idea of these interviews is to be sharing great minds, great ideas and great people with you to help you be the best version of you.

Francis Wade: Thanks, Nathan. It's great to be with you and your audience. Nathan Simmonds: I'm looking forward to this because we had a really large conversation previously, and that just went backwards and forwards, and we got all these different ideas and concepts. It was a really fluid, flowing dialogue, and I'm looking forward to getting some of these ideas shared with more people in this moment. Francis Wade: Great. Time Management Mastery   Nathan Simmonds: I'm going to dive straight into this because people... I'm not sure how much of the audience we have know you, so I want them to find out more about you, and then we'll dive into what you're good at, your areas of expertise and your zone of genius. First and foremost, why do you do what you do? Francis Wade: Whoa, that's a big question. I guess I've always been interested in being productive as an individual. Long story short, I lived in the United States up until 2005, when I returned to live here in Jamaica. So I'm based here in Kingston, in the hills over Kingston here in Jamaica. It was really the transition that I made back from the US to living in Jamaica that got me to this heightened level of interest. It had been a passing pastime, I guess. I had led courses. I had done training. And I imagined that moving back, changing countries from a developed country to a developing country, wouldn't be all that hard. And I was wrong. Francis Wade: I discovered that my productivity plummeted, and I didn't know why. So I went looking for answers.

Let’s face it: it’s getting harder and harder to escape overwhelm now than it was twenty years ago. We have more triggers in our immediate environment than there used to be. We absorb more information in a day than our grandparents saw in a month, and nobody is trained to deal with the sheer volume of information on the internet. Data is like oxygen. And according to Francis Wade, author of Perfect Time-Based Productivity, psychologists haven’t caught up with the changes that we’re undergoing on a daily basis. They’re moving far too slow to keep up. How, then, can you escape overwhelm? If you don’t have a structure to routinely keep you from being overwhelmed, then you’ll be falling right into the Zeigranik Effect over and over again, clueless about where it’s coming from. The level of frustration that people experience is just not right. It’s one thing to find yourself in pain and in overwhelm. It’s another thing to have the wrong idea about where it’s coming from and then solving the wrong problem only to see time demands come right back.
