To get different results, you have to do something different

[Matt Alder @mattalder]

🎙 Many aspects of how companies hire have been set in stone for decades, making change a challenge.

I loved recording this episode with @donjuliobruno!

His thoughts on mindset shifts are powerful and in a world still getting to grips with the 'Great Resignation', we need to learn how to redefine success and find fulfilment in both work and life.

I had the privilege of chatting with @Sue_Fennessy, CEO of @WeAre8Official where she reveals what truly ignites her passion for change. 💡

She embraces the power of 'sunshine' to solve the biggest issues that we face today!

Great to see a report that holds institutions accountable when it comes to tackling climate change - this time business schools.

Businesses have the power to help solve the climate crisis, so shaping future investors and founders is imperative!

Debt collection... not an industry to get excited about!

But I spoke to Jamie Waller, author of Unsexy Business, about what he did to change it.

Listen to how he turned an industry on its head - and some remarkable stories & insights along the way!

There are all sorts of tools for team productivity, but that's what they are - tools!

They don't address micromanagement, only prioritisation.

Empower teams by fostering objective clarity, personal freedom, and deep trust. I've found it's this formula that drives success!

[Jeff Dewing @JPDewing]

My first ever podcast guest, and this one is special to me!

I enjoyed reading this in the FT this week.

The flip side of remote working is that younger team members get less contact time with mentors.

We have a duty to allow people to work flexibly, but we also have a duty to nurture our next-gen talent!

(4/4) 💡 Remember: If you want to grow – let go!

[Jeff Dewing @JPDewing]

(1/4) 💭How many emails do you get a day?

One big mistake leaders make is thinking the number of unread emails in their inbox is directly correlated to their importance in the business.

This is NOT true, in fact it’s a symptom of a bad culture.

[Jeff Dewing @JPDewing]

(3/4) How did I fix this? I focused on empowering people to make their own decisions and to collaborate with their teammates. I trust my people to make great decisions – I give them clarity and freedom to do so, and when they need me I’m here too.

[Jeff Dewing @JPDewing]

For parents, it's the dreaded summer holidays!

But as business leaders, we should embrace flexible working all year round!

There's no such thing as work-life balance - there's only life. So let's help people fit work around their all year round.

What do you think?

[Jeff Dewing @JPDewing]

Culture is the silver bullet!

In @TechRoundUK this month - no matter how much @CloudfmUK is innovating and disrupting, we’ll always have a winning culture that’s people first at the centre of everything 💥

What’s a Return on Commute & how is it measured?

This @Forbes piece shows how companies are incentivising the return to offices.

Nice ideas, but they need to be backed up by empowering people to choose how they work - that's what adds real value!

[Jeff Dewing @JPDewing]

From a leadership and business perspective, we should be careful to not get caught up in work that we forget about real, human connection.

So let’s step back and reconnect, prioritise meaningful connection and look after our loved ones and our health too!

[Jeff Dewing @JPDewing]

We've been talking a lot about mental health of late and it's highlighted that loneliness is as harmful as smoking for overall health - and people around you could be suffering without anyone even realising.

Whether at work or at home, remember to reach out to those around you!

[Jeff Dewing @JPDewing]

@CloudfmUK (4/4) To me this is a huge disconnect and it got me thinking - is the real problem data literacy levels in our business leaders and workforce today? Let me know your thought!

[Jeff Dewing @JPDewing]

(1/4) We make 35,000 decisions a day on average, probably more if you manage a team or run a business! And our energy declines during the day, our decision making gets duller.

Decision fatigue is why Mark Zuckerberg always wears the same outfit🔋

[Jeff Dewing @JPDewing]

@CloudfmUK (3/4) It shows 83% of #businessleaders say data should make decisions easier, but 86% said that data makes them less confident about decisions.

91% of businesses say the volume of data has limited their success, and 72% say it has stopped them from making any decision at all!
