Hone - how purposeful leaders defy drift

Friday, November 7, 2025 • Duration 28:15

In this episode of What Matters, we dive into the new book from Deloitte’s Geoff Tuff (Global and U.S. Sustainability Leader for Energy, Resources, and Industrials) and Steven Goldbach (Principal, Sustainability leader, Deloitte US), Hone: How Purposeful Leaders Defy Drift.

Hone builds upon the authors’ two previous books Detonate (2018), which challenged readers to blow up outdated playbooks; and Provoke (2021), which focused on creating future advantage by spotting risk early. This third book addresses the daily work of staying on track once you've positioned yourself for advantage.

What exactly is ‘drift’ and why is it all too easy for organisations to lose their edge in times of massive transformation?
How can the way in which a kitchen knife is sharpened deepen strategic insight?
What is the connection between how our nervous systems work and management systems?
What do four artisans - a chef, a documentary filmmaker, a nautical photographer and a Canadian rock band all have in common?
What can sailing teach us about navigating change?

In our conversation, Tuff and Goldbach make a compelling case for the power of purposeful, continuous, human-centred improvement – something that’s so much more appealing than the often-brutal top-down corporate transformation!

Exploring the Enneagram with Karl Hebenstreit

Wednesday, October 18, 2023 • Duration 26:35

In this episode, we explore the Enneagram with Karl Hebenstreit, author of "The How & Why: Taking Care of Business with the Enneagram".

The Enneagram is a personality model that describes people in terms of nine personality types, each with its own core motivations, fears and internal dynamics. The name derives from Greek (ennéa, meaning "nine" and grámma, meaning something "written" or "drawn"). The nine types are represented diagrammatically by the points of a geometric figure called an enneagram.

In a business context, the Enneagram is used to gain insights into workplace interpersonal dynamics. The ability to take on another person’s point of view is a vital part of getting anything done successfully, and the enneagram offers an effective route to open people up to other ways of thinking.

Karl Hebenstreit is a certified executive coach, leadership and organisational development (OD) consultant, author, and international speaker. He has more than 25 years of HR and OD experience across arrange of industries. As well as "Taking Care of Business with the Enneagram" (now in its third edition), Nina and the Really, Really Tough Decision.
