A chance to go deeper
Real and relevant experience is key to understanding the particular context a business operates in. Read our latest findings and articles about the current challenges businesses are facing.
Keeping teams engaged
Do you ever have those days where you’re working on something either inside or outside of work…but it doesn’t feel like work? This is because you’re fully engaged in what you’re working on. This level of engagement towards work is something that every manager or leader dreams of from their teams.
Managing our mindset
It’s safe to say that 2020 has been a year of reaction. The arrival of Covid-19 has forced us to adapt our way of living, working and thinking and it’s safe to say not everyone has the right idea... if you haven’t figured it out, stockpiling toilet paper isn’t going to help you.
Transitioning to leadership
When transitioning from management into a leadership role, one of the most common challenges faced is shifting your mindset away from approaching situations as a “Manager” and instead, approaching them as a “Leader”.
Marginal gains
“The Sky is the Limit” “Dream Big” - many of us set ourselves such high goals to achieve that it can be overwhelming just thinking about the amount of work and time we need to put in in order to achieve those goals. At work, we can be given huge projects or targets that - on the surface - seem unachievable.
How to positively say “no”
There are some people who just won’t take ‘No’ for an answer. You may be thinking “Good for them, never settle.” but sometimes people make demands that simply cannot be met due to limitations. When this happens and these individuals refuse to accept this, they prevent themselves from moving forward towards some kind of resolution that is positive for them.
Positive mindsets
Things will go wrong. It’s inevitable. No matter how much you prepare for a situation, there’s always a chance a curve-ball could be thrown leaving you feeling uncertain, demoralised, stressed, regretful, the list goes on. A key element that separates those that admit defeat and those that relentlessly persist, is the individual’s mindset during setbacks.
Culture of accountability
At some point, we are all responsible for something. Whether this is paying the bills, looking after a pet, managing a team, or completing a project. Most people enjoy being entrusted with responsibility as this makes them feel valued.
Accepting risk
At some point, we are all tasked with leading a project or are entrusted to solve a complex problem or issue. At first, the task may be seen as daunting, you’re not sure where to start, the uncertainty has you second-guessing everything and you may be scared to make a mistake. As a result, completing tasks can be slow as time is wasted pondering the ‘ifs’, ‘buts’ and ‘maybes’.
