Guide to Self-Leadership

Throughout history, our perception of ‘the great leader’ has become intrinsically associated with an ability to exert positive power and influence over others. However, in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and often ambiguous working world, have our continued efforts to effectively lead others limited our aptitude to effectively lead ourselves?

Creating a Safer Workplace

What does safety at work mean to you? Whilst traditionally regarded as protection from any form or danger, risk, or harm, our perception and application of ‘safety’ has significantly shifted in the past years (particularly in light of events such as COVID-19 and an increasing emphasis on pressing issues such as employee wellbeing). Consequently, an organisation’s approach to safety now far exceeds its obligation to maintain hazard free workspace.

Leading Organisational Agility

What does it mean to be an agile organisation? Whilst many of us may instinctively be drawn to connotations of speed, true agility represents a delicate balance between flexibility and stability, and a capacity to not only react to the demands of an ever-changing market, but also a desire to constantly rethink, reinvigorate, and reinvent our approach to business.

Winning The Talent War

The term “war” may seem somewhat overdramatic when placed in the context of talent management. However, make no mistake: we face a very real battle when it comes to holding on to our best people. With the average UK worker choosing to change employer every five years, it’s no exaggeration to suggest that the journey to long-term business success may become quickly derailed should we fail to keep hold of those who are most pivotal in guiding us toward our vision, mission, and objectives.

Leading Productive Innovation

Innovate or die. For modern businesses, the choice is really that simple; we either enthusiastically embrace a culture of innovation or passively prepare for organisational extinction. At a time when 77 new UK companies are being founded every hour, we no longer have the luxury to rest on our laurels. Instead, we as managers and leaders must be proactive in working to create a blueprint for organisational success, built on a foundation of positive products, processes, and people.

What's Next for Workplace Equality?

Take a moment to envisage your perfect employee. How do they conduct themselves? How do they encapsulate your organisation’s core values and philosophy? How do they interact with their colleagues and customers? Upon reflecting on these searching questions, what other characteristics do you begin to associate with your personalised concept of the ideal worker? Are they a particular age? Are they male or female? Are they a specific race or sexual orientation?

Playing the Wellness Game

In the wake of the fourth industrial revolution and the ever-increasing adoption of digital ways of working, our interest and reliance on 'the internet of things', 'big data analytics', and 'artificial intelligence' has never been more apparent

Adapt to the Future of Work

How can we best prepare for the future? Should we be expecting an imminent artificial intelligence (AI) invasion, be developing contingencies in preparation of another global pandemic, or should we simply remain cautiously optimistic that the 'new normal' in 2021 will be largely reflective of traditional working practices of the past?.
