  • S2 Ep1: What is Purpose-Driven Leadership?

    S2 Ep1: What is Purpose-Driven Leadership?
    Jun 25 2024
    People want more from their organizations and their leaders.

    Following Covid, The Great Resignation, and the cost of living crisis, it has become more important for people to have work with meaning. Similarly, the organizations that can align what they do with a reason for doing it - their 'Why' - have found great success.

    It comes down to Purpose: finding it, and being driven by it.

    Here's some stats we mention in the episode:

    • Companies with a strong sense of purpose outperform the market by 42%
    • Purpose-oriented employees are 54% more likely to stay at a company for five years and are 30% more likely to be high performers
    • Teams with a strong sense of purpose see a 41% reduction in absenteeism and a 17% increase in productivity

    In the episode, we answer the following questions:

    • What is Purpose-driven leadership?
    • What are the benefits for organizations, leaders, teams and individuals?
    • How can leaders identify and articulate a compelling purpose?
    • What strategies can leaders use to align their team’s goals and daily activities with the organization’s purpose?
    • What are the challenges leaders and organizations face when trying to instil purpose-driven leadership, and how can they be overcome?
    • How do people adopt a purpose-driven approach?

  • S1 Ep15: The Cost of Bad Managers

    S1 Ep15: The Cost of Bad Managers
    Jan 17 2024
    Bad managers can cripple a business. It can lead to people leaving, a disengaged workforce, and an archaic culture that is unattractive to talent. It has been partly blamed for the UK's current productivity gap, whereas managers who have been given the skills and knowledge required to nurture engagement and boost motivation outperform on all key leadership metrics.

    A recent CMI report highlighted the depth of the problem: 1 in 3 people have left work because of a toxic work culture, and half of people who say their boss is ineffective plan to leave in the next year. In addition, 82% of managers say they have had no formal training in being a leader.

    In this podcast, we go through the report's findings, identify the key issues, and offer our actionable insights on what can be done to make sure that your organization doesn't succumb to the cost of bad management.

  • S1 Ep14: Leadership Styles: Why All Leaders Need Coaching Skills

    S1 Ep14: Leadership Styles: Why All Leaders Need Coaching Skills
    Oct 3 2023
    Command and control is dead. In today's modern business world, leaders have to be more in tune with their people in order to get the most out of them. Whether it is due to hybrid/remote working, being more inclusive, adopting a growth mindset, developing an innovative culture - all of these rely on a leadership style that enables and trusts people and teams to deliver the strategic goals on their terms.

    The Leader as Coach is a way of doing all of that and in this episode we discuss exactly what that means: what are the key skills, what benefits do they deliver, how does it work in practice, what needs to be in place culturally, what are the barriers - we answer these questions and more.

    We are joined by two experts in leadership and coaching: Helen Caton Hughes and Bob Hughes from Forton Coaching, as well as IDG's leadership guru, Nigel Girling. Find out more about them and IDG using the links below.
