Just like Philby, the Heart of Arabia Expedition used camels for some of their journey. In the eastern deserts of Saudi Arabia, Mark introduces us to their camels and explores the role the camel has played in Arab history and culture with their guide from the Camel Club of Saudi Arabia. As the expedition moves west towards their goal of Riyadh in the camel pad prints of Philby's caravan, Mark considers his life as an explorer and what drives him to be constantly curious about our world, it's people and cultures. Drawing on his own resilience and comparing himself to other great leaders he questions what makes us resilient. To answer this, leadership expert Jo Owen provides us with insight into how resilience has evolved with time and is a reflection of our society today. Philby was aiming for Riyadh. His ambition was to meet Ibn Saud and convince him he had the authority and power to bring the various warring tribes together under him and form a new nation. As Mark and the team arrive at the ancient city walls of the Masmak Palace, Philby's grandson, Mike Engelbach and the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the UK HRH Prince Khalid Bin Bandar explain how the meeting between these two great men developed.

This week, Lucinda is joined by special guest, Jo Owen, the author of 'Smart Work: The Ultimate Handbook for Remote and Hybrid Teams', to talk about this fantastic new resource, as well as why the concept of managers needs to change, and how we can better motivate people through a new way of viewing leadership. KEY TAKEAWAYS We expect managers to motivate their teams, but this is a flawed concept. You cannot tell people to be happy and motivated. These things come from within. Change is more effective when it is embedded in rhythms and routines. It is about constant analysis of what is taking effect, and incrementally changing patterns based upon the effects we are observing. If we change the nature of the discourse around motivation, to how we can create, systemically, the conditions of motivation, then we are much better placed to find success. Everything is harder when performed remotely, but this is actually good news. Managers are being forced to re-examine procedures and systems and actively improve them. BEST MOMENTS 'If you can re-engage teachers, you're going to succeed' 'Instead of telling managers to be motivational, all you can do is put in place the conditions where the team will rediscover their intrinsic motivation' 'You've linked both mastery and growth with very supportive relationships' 'The first person to discover how to motivate via email will make a fortune!' About The Guest, Jo Owen Jo is one of the leading social entrepreneurs in the UK. He founded Teach First which is the largest graduate recruiter in the UK. He is the founder or co-founder of seven other NGOs in education and re-offending. His charities have a combined turnover in excess of £100 million annually. Jo is also a multi-award winning author and speaker who practices what he preaches about leadership. He is the only person to win the CMI Gold Award four times for his books which have been published in over 100 editions globally. His titles include How to Lead, Tribal Business School, Mindset of Success and Global Teams published by the Financial Times. His current book is Smart Work, on hybrid working, published by Bloomsbury in September. He was previously a partner at Accenture, and started his career at P&G in brand management. Lastly, his career highlights include getting sued for $12 billion; building a business in Japan; starting a bank; becoming the best nappy salesman in Birmingham and putting the blue speckle in Daz.

Award winning author Jo Owen practices what he preaches. He is a founder of eight NGOs with combined turnover above £100million pa, including Teach First which became the largest graduate recruiter in the UK. He has worked with over 100 of the best, and a couple of the worst, organisations on our planet. Today we discuss Jo's career and his new book Smart Work: The Ultimate Handbook for Remote and Hybrid Teams In a world still adjusting to the impact of the pandemic, remote and hybrid working is new territory for most people. But many managers can be poorly equipped to deal with it: the more casual ways of managing in a physical office simply don't work with remote teams, and most tasks will be more challenging when conducted at a distance. Aspects of this will be great news for some people: managing remote teams can often raise the bar for leaders and managers, as well as for the teams themselves. But office-based, face-to-face leadership, while certainly effective, is often more informal and ad hoc, and a number of basic management tasks can be much harder to complete remotely: - managing workloads and performance; - resolving problems and miscommunications; - motivation (and the lack of); - professional development and ongoing training; and - identifying, setting and measuring goals and targets. Smart Work shows how leaders, managers and team members can raise their games to meet the challenges of 21st century leadership and our new age of working.
