Leadership Digest - January

Welcome to the January edition of our Leadership Digest newsletter, rounding up this month’s Monday Morning Messages.

Here are some of the highlights of the past month:

• ONCE UPON A TIME: The power of storytelling to spark action was clearly illustrated through Mr Bates vs the Post Office, the drama that had the nation talking – and the Government reacting. The treatment of hundreds of sub-postmasters has been shameful; it’s storytelling that has brought urgency to a lethargic response.
• (WO)MAN IN THE MIRROR: Taking time to reflect on our own styles and instinctive behaviours – and then adapting them – can help us better address performance issues of team members. Find out why raising self-awareness is one of the foundations of our leadership development work.
• STUNTING EMPLOYEE RESILIENCE: We shared this fascinating look at the new swathe of helicopter bosses created by remote working – and how workers are suffering as a result. You can also find out the results of our poll?on where businesses are positioned in the process of developing formal policies and structures for remote working.
• EXPLORE NEW TECHNIQUES: As 2024 gets underway, many effective teams will be reviewing how they’re working as a team and as an organisation. Sign up for a copy of our self-auditing tool for insights into ways to improve the experience and effectiveness of hybrid working, and read more about leading in a hybrid world here.
