As leaders we all strive to have high performance organisations and teams. We often define ‘high performance’ by our results and outputs. In fact though, it’s governed by the behaviours and culture of the organisation. In this bite sized episode I share my 5 tips for the basics of creating a high performance culture.  

How are you currently influencing the culture of your organisation?  Are you embodying the values and behaviours you want to see your teams demonstrating?   In this bite size episode I'll ask you to consider your role in creating that culture and the way that we show up, influences those around us.

In the world of work, the environment around us is undergoing a profound shift, driven by geo politics, the macro economy and AI.  This transformation affects how we work, engage with colleagues, and adapt to technological advancements. What does this mean for us as leaders, and how do we need to adapt our approach as we progress through the 21st Century. This 5 min bite size podcast introduces you to some of the core skill sets and mindsets which could be helpful right now.    

Have you had the expectations conversation yet? The expectations conversation is one which people rarely have, especially with stakeholders, no-one is training anyone on, and guess what - it's probably the thing that will solve most friction and conflict in the workplace. A no brainer I here you say! Well yes, it is. So, if you've never heard of it, or have a difficult team member/ customer/client/stakeholder relationship that you'd like to be better, settle down and take a listen to this bite size podcast. Bonus: Listen to the end and you will find out how you can download a free workbook with frameworks to help you have these too.

How aligned is your team and organisation?   Those of you who have worked with me will know I'm passionate about this and can bang on about it for hours. Instead, I've condensed my thoughts into a 12 minute podcast in this week's Being Leader Bites episode. A super short injection of ideas to start your day. In this whistlestop tour, I cover engagement, capability and people development, return to the office mandates and reflective practice! Oh and the importance of consistency of communication and making sure anyone would understand your message. Ditch the jargon. You can learn more by going to www.successfultraining.co.uk
