Send us a textThe way we work is changing. What we expect of our employer is changing. “Hot-desking”, where you no longer have a permanently assigned desk at work, is becoming more and more common. Millennials are increasingly satisfied with freelance, temporary employment because it gives them greater control of their time. Robots are being considered for far more jobs that you would expect. How realistic are these trends? What other trends will change the way we work? More importantly, what are their implications for how we lead teams?

Send us a textTruly great leadership doesn’t just happen. Great leaders, the ones we admire, know the value of taking time to reflect on their own beliefs and patterns. While the outer work of leadership – looking at behaviors – is critically important; equally, the inner work of leadership is critical. The inner work is about examining ourselves, our beliefs, our expectations and noticing how those impact the outer image – the behaviors. Great leadership is more of a yin and yang process – looking at the inner and the outer, being versatile in what is required of you.

Send us a textCollaboration and collaborative leadership are hot topics in the business press today. However, practical realities today also expect leaders to control risk, meet targets and manage the performance of the team. Most of us have a deeply ingrained view that our role as leaders and managers is to be in control of the team we lead, make decisions and drive the team to success. This view leads to a hierarchical perspective of leadership instead of a collaborative one. There is another way and it’s called the Collaborative Operating System. Are you ready to break out of your hierarchical mythology and see the world of leadership in a new, totally different way? Do you want to challenge your thinking and your approach? Do you want to know how to lead in a different way even if your boss is very hierarchical?
