In a fast-changing world, leaders and managers need to trust and empower their team members – especially in a hybrid workplace. This is especially challenging when we’re asking them to make critical decisions that affect our organisation’s reputation, brand, and bottom line. DOWN&...
When creating a plan, you calculate the return on investment, or ROI, for taking action. But unless you also calculate the cost of inaction, or COI, your plan lacks context. ROI answers the question, ‘What are the benefits of this change?’, and COI answers the question, ‘What is the cost of n...
Although my first sporting love is cricket, I’m also a fan of Australian Rules Football. We’re in finals month now, so it seems like a good time to talk about it. A common defensive tactic in Aussie Rules is ‘shepherding’, where you assist a team mate from a distance. In brief, if a tea...
If you have been following the latest buzz around leadership and workplaces, you might have come across the phrase ‘quiet quitting’, which refers to employees who do what they are paid to do, and no more. Does that describe some of the people in your team? I think it’s a bizarre society when ...

I’ve been doing a lot of work recently with leaders and leadership teams, and the biggest topic on their minds right now is the future of the office. Specifically, how do you manage a team that doesn’t want to come back to the office full time? Early in the pandemic, when organisations with off...
Last week, I started working with two leadership groups – from two very different industries – who wanted help with thinking about their future. Both groups were smart enough to realise they knew a lot about their own organisation, but didn’t know enough about external forces that cou...
