I was sat on the London Underground the other day and there was a guy, on his own, reading the Evening Standard. All of a sudden he burst into hysterical laughter! I mean he was howling, holding his stomach like it was waiting to burst. He then proceeded to walk along the train, telling everyone… Read more »
It occurred to me the other day that there aren’t many real characters left. You know those people that spark debate, love them, loathe them, they get you talking, they get your blood boiling, they make you shout at the TV. When did everyone become grey? I’m not talking about those close to you, I’m… Read more »
I recently read an article that suggested that if you were a child of the 70’s then you are very lucky to be alive. It’s a very funny piece of work and quite thought provoking. I am indeed a child of the 70’s, I played kerby, had a Raleigh Tomahawk (I was to small for… Read more »
Many of you reading this will have, at some point, had an idea. Some of these ideas have progressed to discussions. Some of these discussions have progressed to production. Sadly though, for some people this is as far as it goes. An idea that had belief, passion, energy, momentum has suddenly been placed away on… Read more »
There’s no getting away from it, Cycling is huge in the UK now. I’d argue it’s always been popular, but then again I’ve always done it. However with the rise of Team Sky, the success of Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome, Chris Hoy et al it’s all the rage. I’ve even seen the acronym MAMIL, middle… Read more »

How often do you think about the next step? Do you think about what you want to do next week, let alone in the future? How useful would it be to decide now where you want to be in 5 years time? Maybe the answer to that lies in remembering what you were doing 5… Read more »

📚📖Book recommendation from one of our Senior Facilitators 📚📖
Simon’s recommendation is:
The Infinite Game – Simon Sinek
How Leaders Lead in a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world.
The book describes how most leaders try and play a finite game (the rules are known, the players are known, there is an agreed objective and finally it has a beginning middle and end) in business where actually the opposite is the case (known & unknown players, few exact or agreed rules and no predetermined beginning, middle or end.
The book explores 5 principles a leader should explore and make their own:
A Just Cause
It must emotionally engage your people – more than a Vision or Mission Statement, affirmative and optimistic, inclusive, service orientated, resilient and idealistic.
Trusting Teams
Teams must feel safe to be vulnerable and the leader’s role is to make the team feel psychologically safe. They then can voice concerns, act innovatively, ask for help and act ethically.
Have a Worthy Rival
Identifying a worthy rival who does certain things better than us helps us get better at what we do and clearer on why we do it.
Existential Flexibility
A complete change of direction if your strategy is not meeting the Just Caues.
Courage to Lead
Leaders must be capable of making the difficult decisions that continue the strategy of driving toward the Just Cause.

📚📖Book recommendation from one of our Senior Facilitators📖📚
Dave’s book recommendation:
Read “Time, Talent, Energy”
By
Michael Mankins & Eric Garten
It will help you to fully utilise the potential of both your staff colleagues and your business.
Managers and Leaders can enhance their team’s productive power, and overcome the drag that reduces efficiency, by making the most of the three essential resources that they have before them.
Time – is often mis-used and poorly managed. How do you reduce bloat and remove complexity?
Talent – make the best use of the ‘difference makers’ in your team.
Energy – boost and harness the potential energy that is within your team by engaging and inspiring them to perform to their best. #fuellearning #bookrecommendations #training #motivation #leadership #time #talent #energy
