| 39. Four ways to benefit from the great resignation with Prina Shah | 30 Sep 2022 | 00:06:43 | |
4 ways to benefit from the great resignation Have people left your workplace? Have they quit to move on to other things? Have they been fired because they refused to get vaccinated? Either way, you’re probably doing more work with fewer people. You may be in it for the long game. If that is you, this episode speaks to you! I share 4 ways to benefit from the great resignation 1. Continue to deliver. It can be easy to drop your productivity to suit the environment that you are in. Continually doing this may inhibit the way you work and it may in fact create a new habit and a new way of working leaving you being potentially less productive. 2. Continue to learn. That which is in front of you is your teacher. Even learning how not to do things is excellent learning! Learning need not be from a traditional training perspective in this respect; you could learn by observing others, observing the way systems are used and by observing the culture. 3. Don’t dismiss. It is easy to dismiss others as being not as focused when we you are ready for the next pivot in your career. Often I find with my coachees that they are high achievers. Not everybody is, and there is nothing wrong with that. We are all different with different work and life needs. 4. Have the conversation. Talk to your manager about your career needs. I find often that this is the step that people feel the most uncomfortable about, which is why I recommend these pointers to guide your conversation.
planning on staying with the organisation, outline where you hope to get to by x months and ask you manager if that is realistic and whether they can support you get there. I wish you well in your career!

| 17. Seven Tough Questions to Ask About Your Leadership Culture | 29 Apr 2022 | 00:09:16 | |
I have been told by many CEOs that they have invested heavily in leadership development and are still not seeing the results. I have supported many CEOs on enhancing their organisational cultures. These CEOs were not happy with their leaders for some of the reasons I discuss below. There was something amiss. We uncovered there were two factors at play: 1. The CEOs had not clearly articulated their vision of the culture (and their expectations of leaders.) 2. The Leaders therefore created their own habits. 1. Do your leaders empower and trust their staff or do they deploy the more directive style where what they say goes? 2. Do your leaders actually get on with each other and work constructively with each other? (A diversity of leaders and a difference of opinions are needed, what I am asking here is do your leaders have a good working relationship with each other?) 3. Do your leaders have the full picture, or are they working in their own patches? In silos? 4. Are your leaders on the same page about the organisation’s strategic direction? Or do they have their own versions of it? 5. Do your leaders share information freely or hold onto it with the mentality that knowledge is power? 6. Do your leaders inspire their teams? 7. Are your leaders emotionally intelligent? Do they have the capacity to be aware of, control, and express their emotions, and can they handle interpersonal relationships judiciously and empathetically? Fun fact: A study by Deloitte states “More than 80% of the jobs created between now and 2030 will be for knowledge workers, and two-thirds of jobs will be strongly reliant on soft skills.” What are you doing to develop the soft skills of your leaders?

| 13. Change Management, The Japanese Way | 01 Apr 2022 | 00:09:21 | |
You may have had to focus on change management on the fly at times over the past years. As we now focus on recovery, let us not forget the importance of planned change management… You have probably experienced failed change projects some time in your career. An ex colleague explained the Japanese concept of Nemawashi to me long ago. Nemawashi in Japanese means an informal process of quietly laying the foundation for some proposed change or project, by talking to the people concerned, gathering support and feedback, and so forth. It is considered an important element in any major change, before any formal steps are taken, and successful nemawashi enables changes to be carried out with the consent of all sides. I simplify it to a formula: Meeting Before the Meeting (During and Meeting After the Meeting…) I have applied this process in many aspects, one of which is in change and culture optimisation projects that I have supported my clients with. Here are some useful pointers from what I have learned. In this episode of Ways to Change the Workplace, I share:

| 10. 8 Ways to Bring Your Company Values to Life: The Success Stories! | 11 Mar 2022 | 00:08:28 | |
If Culture eats Strategy for breakfast, I’d say your Values may eat your Vison for brunch. Values are an integral part of an organisation’s culture. Your Values ideally should be the guiding principles in which everyone in your company behave, serve their customers and achieve your Vision. The Issue: People either don’t know the company’s values OR don’t like them.
So, what to do? 8 Ways to Bring Your Company Values to Life: The Success Stories: I have had the pleasure of supporting companies that live, apply and own their Values, and in this episode I share what I have seen work.

| 7. How to Use Your Positional Power for Good (vs. Evil!) | 18 Feb 2022 | 00:11:17 | |
How to use your positional power for good! I have spoken to many CEOs and Senior Leaders whom I support about the notion of positional power. Put simply, positional power is the use of your power (of authority) to get things done. This type of power is something you exert over others. It is the use of your authority. Positional power is a preordained source of power given to a person as a result of their position. Types of positional power: 1. Your manager can use their positional power to allocate tasks to you 2. Your coach could use their positional power to hold you accountable to the actions you committed to in your coaching session 3. It can also be applied in a forced way (dictatorial rulers use their power to ensure their people do as they say) 3 Ways and Tips to Use Your Positional Power for Good. Here are some points to consider as you lead your organization’s culture. 1. The higher you are in the hierarchy, the further you may be from the grassroots. 2. Now that you are a conductor of the orchestra, you may well feel lonely at the top. 3. A result of the abovementioned points is that you get piecemeal information. You may not always have the full picture. I liken this to the story of “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” A classic tale talking of positional power and the fear the Emperor’s people had of speaking the truth to him. People may not feel they can be completely open with you as a result of your position. With great responsibility comes great power. How are you using your power? Further Reading:
