Catherine Fox is an innate Optimist who thinks we can change. In her own words she is at a stage in life where she can say and do things that women in mid-career can't. She makes no bones that we are far from an equal playing field. Join Catherine and I as we discuss the why that drives her, the hypocrisy that drives women into the ground, tokenism and how to get beyond box ticking. Catherine shares that in her experience the male leaders who really listen to the females in their organisation are often utterly shocked at their experience of working in the same organisation. Stop Fixing Women is one of five books that Catherine has authored. With three decades as a journalist and advocate, Catherine is one of Australia's leading experts on leadership, the future of workplaces and the status of women. Her career has included interviewing management gurus, Nobel Prize winners and international CEOs. She has written five books, won a Walkley Award, presented at conferences and appeared in the media around Australia and internationally. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have had this conversation.

What do leaders need to do to prepare for it?  What are the questions about the workplace of the future that are yet to be answered?  Listen now: https://podfollow.com/inter-views-cracking-the-entrepreneurship-code  —---- Download my eBook - https://www.laurentnotin.com/get-my-ebook #podcast #workplace #hybridwork #entrepreneurmindset #entrepreneur

Terry Young is the Founder and CEO of sparks & honey, “a cultural intelligence consultancy helping organizations understand explosive and immediate cultural shifts, as well as cultural tastes that develop over time.” By leveraging the power of culture, sparks & honey seeks to open minds and create possibilities in the now, next, and future. Mr. Young is a frequent speaker and writer on the largest shifts that will shape the future, most recently addressing such topics as precision consumer 2030, the rise of Generation Z, new semantics, open business, diversity OS, and the future of giving. His deep understanding of consumer behavior and digital and technology platforms allowed him to architect the sparks & honey model and cultural intelligence platform, QTM. In our interview with Mr. Young, we discuss the future of workplaces, the meaning of true diversity and how to achieve and measure it, and how to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning to build cultural intelligence across a wide spectrum of future topics. The following bullet points highlight key insights from our interview: Cultural intelligence can help us understand why humans make the decisions that they make and how we can translate that information into opportunities. At scale, it can identify weak signals and emerging threats and help organizations anticipate change. sparks & honey leverages AI and man-machine teaming to identify the impacts of cultural trends. QTM — their AI cultural analysis system — uses natural language processing to analyze and map cultural trends at scale by scouring myriad sources — social media, patents, blogs, influencers, policy changes, academic papers, scientific discoveries — and then building a taxonomy of culture to categorize, cluster, and quantify these different ‘signals.’ The humans in this man-machine equation translate these signals into opportunities by adding nuance, intuition, and context to make sense of these trends and where the world is heading. Cultural trends are classified in a ‘stack’ with three levels. Megatrends, like climate change, will structurally change society in the long term, 8-10 years out. Macrotrends will create impacts in 1-3 years, while Micro-signals indicate short term changes. Cultural Intelligence identifies the drivers of cultural change – not just what is happening, but why it is happening. For the military, cultural intelligence could help identify the emergence of radical ideologies and track new and convergent trends affecting the Operational Environment. sparks & honey predicts that cultural changes are trending towards equity in organizations. This is something that is on the radar of many large organizations, but is being dismissed as a non-priority. Due to changes arising from the COVID-19 global pande

“Don't walk away from management, quite yet. Embrace it. See if it works. Talk to people. Don't treat management as management. Always treat it as if you're a mentor, or you're talking to a friend. And you'll see that It's going to bring a lot more value to your personal growth vs just bringing the value to someone else.”Kevin Hasley shares a new way to think about hiring, managing and retaining engineering teams in his conversation on this episode of The shape of Work podcast. As the CEO of RootMetrics and one of the top experts in the mobile and telecommunications industry, Kevin combines deep, in-the-trenches insight with examples from his vast array of experiences (developing a benchmarking program at Texas Instruments to being the CEO of RootMetrics) for a conversation every people leader should hear: How did he react to ‘The Great Resignation' as an employerTeam structure at RootMetrics: From contract-based hires to full-time employeesWhy hiring the right engineering talent has become a challenge with the ballooning salariesHow does RootMetrics manage the personal and professional aspirations of its employeesTech leaders on the biggest challenges managing teams: why managing teams doesn't come easy to everyone1.     Thoughts on ‘The Great Resignation' wave as an employer.Kevin says that ‘The Great Resignation' phase is challenging as an employer. After a year filled with lockdowns, there are so many opportunities and challenges coming out of the pandemic world. Although organizations that had held back on hiring have finally opened their gates. It's far from perfect. Kevin feels that there are both pros and cons to this intense phase of transformation. The biggest pro is that it allows you to attract amazing new talent, and the main con is that you lose stellar talent to your competitors. However, he believes in being courteous and respectful to an employees' choice of resignation.2.     How does RootMetrics manage the personal and professional aspirations of its employees?RootMetrics provides two paths to growth for its employees: a management tech ladder and a technical tech ladder. The organization encourages its engineering talent to embrace management opportunities when they hire contractors for projects. Kevin says that managing contractors helps engineers to hone their management skills. Moreover, sharing their own work-life and technological experiences with contractors is a good growth opportunity. For example, how they code, how they develop code, organizations, and more. 3.     Tech leaders on the challenges managing teams: why managing teams doesn't come easy to everyone.Kevin believes that the choice largely depends from person to person. Typically, most engineers perceive the change from an individual contributor to a team manager as a drastic change of career track. He says that if you consider your job as a long-term endeavor, then you must embrace the managerial side of the engineering profession. Leading a team as a manager provides you with the opportunity to manage your team's coding as well as learn from their skills, and elevate your career. Overall, developing managerial skills is important to build a holistic engineering career. Lastly, seeing your team grow in their role is a very fulfilling experience as a manager.Follow Kevin on LinkedIn, Twitter & Instagram Produced by: Priya Bhatt Podcast host: Abhash Kumar
