Introduction: John McCusker is the VP Global Head of Talent management for Bacardi. He sees himself as the fitness coach for 7300 colleagues or as Bacardi says cousins, to help people grow professionally and personally. John has spent most of his career in talent management working for Kraft Foods and Dixons in the UK. John has travelled extensively and has picked up a fluency in Spanish, Portuguese and French. He believes himself to be a reforming Imposter and this part of his being has informed much of John's purpose.   Podcast episode summary:  In this episode John explored the Bacardi approach to Leadership, Culture and Team & Individual development. We discussed formal and informal approaches to development at Bacardi. John spoke to the many who have influenced him and some of the more dynamic practices he has employed to get at Creativity and Innovation and organisational wide buy-in. We discussed topics like Mindfulness, Presence, Conversational excellence,  creating moments that matter, Psychological Safety, Authentic Leadership, Emotional Intelligence & relational support. Bacardi is intent on creating a culture based on three curated pillars; Fearless, Founders and Family. Bacardi wants to be a catalyst for magical moments in peoples lives.    Points made through the episode: Travel has been a big part of John's life-learning French, Portuguese and Spanish along the way. His parents exercised a huge influence on the choice of career that has become his passion John confessed to suffering from Imposter Syndrome. A huge part of his way was in pleasing people and not being conscious about what he wanted. This being has influenced how he is towards others and the purpose he has set himself to help more people plan and unlock their own potential both professionally and personally. At Bacardi John is the self- professed “fitness coach” Bacardi knows that if it wants to have the next best 10 years it needs to engage its people and culture to be the very best. John has done his own personal work to acknowledge the imposter within him and to understand & appreciate his own emotions in a way that helps him manage conflict constructively John is endeavouring to build a culture at Bacardi where people feel appreciated for who they are, and not what they “should” be in order to unlock potential and performance Bacardi encourages Coaching, Team Coaching and Development to help people work collaboratively and across boundaries rather than towards a title. Bacardi has employed concepts like Hackathons to unleash energy and commitment to company-wide ideas – doing so has improved company engagement scores by 10% Bacardi wants culture to be owned by everyone and not just a few As a Talent Manager John has learnt to appreciate being less attached or attracted to Avant- Garde ideas & more focused on execution & simplicity He is also keen to slow down and to allow the organisation to really implement well When John thinks team he thinks the following; Laughter, Cohesion, Irreverence, tightness to support each other professionally and personally We spoke about Patrick Lencioni and the work he has created around the 5 dysfunctions of teams. John uses the corollary of the dysfunctions to engage hearts and minds. John is not keen on labelling or classifying people. He uses models and frameworks lightly and is more interested in the conversation for possibility Amy Edmondson introduced the Bacardi Leaders, 50 who were on a bespoke leadership program to Authentic Leadership. She spoke about creating a fearless organisation. He liked how she spoke about framing work for people ,so they understand what is expected and how to create a culture where mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn We are so busy being busy that even though we are extremely connected we are disconnected. How can we build the pause to be present to each other? Bacardi is working hard to be relevant in a society where people are interested in drinking less but drinking quality drinks. The company is doing a lot to self-regulate. It is promoting slow drinking in France, Drink Driving campaigns in Russia and Portugal. The Cocktail business is growing by virtue of people wanting less but better. Bacardi is also moving into the business of no and low alcohol What matters now to John is the idea of promoting mental wellbeing at Bacardi. He was taken by a presentation given by a former Unilever executive, Jeff McDonald who spoke passionately about encouraging discourse on mental wellbeing at work.   Resources: the following include the resources we alluded to over the course of our conversation   Amy Edmondson: The Fearless Organisation The GOT Podcast episode 25 with Sarah Hill Patrick Lencioni: The 5 dysfunctions of a Team bacardi.com

Introduction: Covid-19 struck like a thunderbolt and has thrown the world upside down. Many are still reeling as we grapple to right side for a new order. All of us have been forced to wake to a new reality, to pause and immediately assume a virtual reality for most of the population. Teams have been beset too. Episode Five is an invitation to look at how we make meaning and how we re-emerge as a collective. I was curious about  what we chose to  embrace and reflect on as we experience Covid-19  & what we can generatively create with grace and gratitude. Podcast episode summary: To answer these and several more questions I interviewed John Baldoni, John McCusker and Richard Boston. The conversation spoke to the very real uncertainty and grief that exists in society and the huge variability that is evident in terms of how people are responding. The panel spoke about societies polarities, the swift change in orientation to value people and connection and the many assumptions around organisational life that are being questioned. The pause had put a lot into perspective and the panel left the conversation being hopeful that as a resilient species we will figure our way out and hopefully make some meaningful changes to the way we relate to life.   Points made through the episode: Enormous focus and engagement is evidenced in organisational life Witness to huge variability and different phases people are at with respect to Covid-19 Wide array of emotions from panic initially to overwhelm to expediency and focus to now hope and encouragement “Nobody knows anything” a great deal of grief being witnessed in the world-the question is what next? The difference between business and life has been collapsed. We are allowed to show up as real humans. This is an incredible time to reflect, do some self-discovery and be inquiring of self and others Important that the tone from the top echoes need for compassion and understanding to know that people are in complicated and difficult situations dealing with family life and role expectations of an order that is unprecedented. Important that businesses look after the physical and mental needs of their people and the business will follow. This message has been communicated before, but it is now real. Huge amount of pressure on employees right now and the imposter syndrome if it existed is now exaggerated. Leaders need to lead with Grace, Generosity, Respect, Action, Compassion and Energy Leaders cannot project fear , but they can show concern Two strong values are emerging in corporate life include Gratitude and Goodness Assumptions about team life and organisational life are being questioned. Can we continue to be more questioning with our assumptions ? We need to invent new normal and we do not know how long this pandemic will last creating considerable ambiguity. Our mortality is being questioned. We are in the process of rehumanising our workplaces putting purpose and empathy centre stage. Purpose or our higher level purpose is now front and centre. This crisis has shown teams can operate in a very purposeful and creative manner. In some ways decision making is timelier and team work more expedient. Shines a light on purpose, our humanity and need for empathy. We cannot make excuses for not knowing we have never known. Probably only 6/7 possible choices from here. We need to sit down and start planning and same goes for teams. Practice anti-fragility This pandemic may be a dress rehearsal for future crisis as climate change continues. Are we ready to be with this new reality? In any uncertainty be with what you can control to square the circle. Important to act and change if we get things wrong. Perfection is the enemy Sad that it has taken Covid-19 for us to appreciate our humanity, our connectedness and our frailty The panel hopes that leaders and teams will find a way to collapse societal polarities When times are good Profit hides a lot of flaws Covid-19 has shown us the cracks. Virtual is Okay. There is an acceptance that video and connection virtually is powerful and can remain Virtual does not distract from our connection Zoom etc is same as physical and in some ways better, we can focus more and be discerning in how we ask questions and how we relate. A greater sensitivity is called for over virtual. Consider Purpose more often and ask about the purpose of organisational life. We have been reminded of the beauty of nature can we nurture it? The panel left the conversation with a few things they know and can rely on: We are stronger and more resilient than we think Trust your teammates for their support We will get through this-look internally for resource Be mindful of our narrative. Some of the language around Covid-19 is defensive. Can we be in choice about the story of recovery and our identity post Covid-19 Resources: the following include the resources I alluded to in this episode.

Hoy empezaremos por las calientes tierras africanas de la mano de Djeneba&Fousco y su “Kayeba Khasso” publicado este 2018 y seguiremos hacia el norte, hacia Escocia con Heidi Talbot&John McCusker y el EP “Love is the bridge between two hearts”. Djénéba Kouyaté y Fousco, alias Fousseyni Sissoko, aparecieron en el intervalo de un año en el programa de televisión de Malí, Tounkagouna . Fue al pedirle consejo a Djénéba, quién fue la ganadora en 2010, que Fousco probó suerte el año siguiente y también ganó el concurso. Terminan saliendo (¡solo musicalmente!) Y deciden cantar juntos con la única guitarra Fousco. Djénéba y Fousco se enorgullecen de cantar para su patria de Kayes y presentan un conjunto que respeta la música tradicional al mismo tiempo que agregan bonitos toques contemporáneos para su debut internacional, Kayeba Khasso . Heidi Talbot nació en Irlanda y se convirtió en una estrella popular en los Estados Unidos como miembro de la banda irlandesa estadounidense Cherish the Ladies, y ahora vive en Escocia. La artista se desliza sin esfuerzo entre diferentes mundos musicales, pero conserva una modestia personal arraigada en los músicos tradicionales. Heidi ha sido nominada a cantante de folk del año y mejor canción tradicional por BBC Radio 2, mejor actuación en vivo de los premios de música tradicional, la mejor vocalista femenina en los Irish Music Awards. Su anterior disco, en solitario, 'Here We Go 1, 2, 3' fue lanzado en Navigator Records en septiembre de 2016. John McCusker ha compartido escenario con personas como Paul Weller, Roseanne Cash, Paolo Nutini y Teenage Fanclub, además de ser miembro de la banda de Mark Knopfler desde entonces en 2008. John ha sido reconocido durante mucho tiempo por su habilidad para trascender los límites musicales: esforzarse por mantener su música fresca y emocionante, nunca dejar atrás el pasado, sino siempre abrazar nuevas aventuras sonoras. Además de esto son matrimonio y John ha sido el productor de los últimos álbums de Heidi. Con Love Is The Bridge Between Two Hearts, Heidi Talbot y John McCusker han creado algo que suena fresco y hermoso. Si este EP sirve como aperitivo, entonces, por mi parte, no puedo más que esperar un plato principal mucho más largo.
