Leadership Digest - May

Welcome to the latest edition of our Leadership Digest newsletter, wrapping up all our activity from the past month.

Here are some of the highlights from May, in case you missed them:

• RIDE ON TIME: We frequently hear that people are short on time – but it's worth acknowledging that this can be because of their own leadership behaviours and activities. So if you struggle to delegate or give people autonomy, it might be worth taking a moment to consider how that affects your time management, as Matt explains in this post.
• LEAVING DISTRACTIONS AT THE DOOR: Many people arrive at meetings mentally unprepared for the focus and deliberation needed to make the session effective: some are ready and eager, others annoyed that another person is still emailing, possibly one is worried about a text message about family... Find out how we work with senior teams on overcoming this to boost the effectiveness of their meetings.
• MACHINE LEARNING: We’re constantly thinking about how AI has the potential to change that leadership development is designed and delivered – and this article is an interesting look at how the rise of generative AI offers opportunities to revolutionise and personalise learning experiences. Read more about whether AI can replace human connection and let us know if you agree.
• CATCH-UP: Didn't see our recent post about the inner chimp? Find out the difference it can make to your professional and personal life. Want to learn more about the value of taking the time to prepare for negotiations? We shared an example from a delegate on our leadership development programme that led to a win-win.

Need our help working with senior teams, or leading change? Looking to build on your leadership development plans this year? Contact Matt Eccles or Dr David Kearney for an informal chat about these or any of the topics above.
