The Social Factor - The Science Behind the Future of Effective People Leadership
Saison 4 · Épisode 1
lundi 8 avril 2024 • Durée 01:15:26
Today’s first episode for 2024 is a little different. I recently launched my White Paper – The Social Factor – The Science Behind the Future of Effective People Leadership and today I present it to you in audio format, as some people prefer to listen than to read.
The White paper introduces you, the listener, to the concept of Social Leadership. It opens with the big picture and the challenges faced by todays leaders, examples being the gap between what leaders believe that employees want and what they really want and need. We explore the myriad demands of today's leader and the potential cost, mentally and emotionally.
We cover the people leadership journey - 'from Crisis to Conviction' and why the focus needs to be on developing leaders both formally and informally.
The Changing Face of Leadership tracks leadership Development over the ages and what 21st Century leadership looks like today in the Social Age.
The White Paper then introduces you to the concept of Social Leadership and the social cognitive neuroscience underpinning this approach.
The SOCIAL Model of Core Needs is presented in terms of elements, scope, detail and a detailed description of each element; how the absence of these needs can create a 'threat' response, and ways we can reduce this to create 'reward' responses in our people (the concept of threat and reward and also explained).
We each have a unique 'point in time' hierarchy of needs and this is explained in the paper, together with applications of the model and a case study of how it is being used by a global engineering consultancy.
Finally we look at balancing the focus on people and performance and the consequences of focusing too much or too little on one or the other.

A Conversation with your Podcast Host Clare Edwards
Saison 2 · Épisode 30
mardi 6 décembre 2022 • Durée 01:08:38
Today I bring you a conversation with a difference, it’s with me.
Over the past few months I have been approached by listeners with the odd question and so the idea emerged to answer them in a podcast.
I approached the wonderful Trent Rosen, Learning and Development manager of Canteen Australia and asked if he would interview me as he knew me a little from work we had done together pre covid but he didn’t know me too well.
It was certainly an experience and I have developed even more admiration of and empathy for my podcast guests as committing to the essence of being real, raw and authentic can also be a place of vulnerability.
No real show notes - that would be a little self-indulgent!

Books
The Values Factor The Secret to Creating an Inspired and Fulfilling Life
The 7 Secret Treasures A Transformational Blueprint for a Well-Lived Life – released 25th October 2022
Here is a short excerpt on values from the book
“Look deeply and profoundly into your life and find out where your mind is already alert. You know you have it, so don’t lie to yourself by saying you don’t. Where is your mind most alert? Where is it creative? Where is it spontaneous? Where does it have the power to answer questions quickly? Where does it think creatively?
Don’t stop until you find that area. Acknowledge it, write it down, and don’t let anybody on the outside impose on you the belief that you don’t have it.
I don’t know about you, but I have yet to see anybody who gets up in the morning and says, “I want to be less. I want to shrink.” There’s a yearning inside all of us to expand our awareness and potential. We serve the world by shining, not shrinking, and as a result, we have a desire to expand our mind. If we don’t, we constrict our life.
