56% of employees in APAC demand flexible work options to sustain productivity, which makes sense; #hybrid and #remote work is still work. #Microsoft Viva is the latest in tech that lets #employees to connect to business #goals, culture and one another.

When we look at #leadership as just a top-down phenomenon, we limit the potential of our #teams. Organisations truly #thrive people have the space to add to the culture, not merely conform to it. Simon Sinek never fails to provide much needed #optimism:

Valuable content for the entrepreneurially minded from Masters of #Scale on how we can amplify the positive side of having co-founders while avoiding the negatives. A point I found interesting to consider: how do we stay #inspired while #remote?

In any #collaborative effort, it's how well we're able to #listen that makes the biggest impact. I couldn't have put it better myself - adapting how we listen is the gateway to broadening our #influence. https://t.co/mdGUA4QzfL

I totally agree with Alexandra Kalev here - thoughtful policies around #flexibility, dependent care and time off improve outcomes for everyone, from #managers to #employees. Valuable listen: https://t.co/RLdUy9E1wu

[Fred Joye @wheresfredagain]

Great piece here on how we can mitigate #development team #burnout through process improvements. Developers now are under more pressure than ever before - progressive deployment might just be the #solution to alleviate it. https://t.co/bdUZTTmQS3

Consistent capture #systems, inspired by GTD author David Allen, are #reliable go-to-spots to record information instead of storing it in memory. This is an insightful episode of the GTD podcast with some helpful #productivitytips, from the author himself: https://t.co/DRjEwZbNT4

To say that #hybrid has redefined what it means to work flexibly would be an understatement. With this comes a new layer of complexity for #leaders. Good reminders here on how we can #manage effectively from a #distance: https://t.co/iSdIsKnkrP

Valuable article here for #startup founders on how to manage rejection from #investors. You'll likely hear a lot of ''no's'' on your #journey, but don't give up - these no's are often the blessings that set you on the path to receiving the right ''yes''. https://t.co/ds0BAkI8UW

This is great stuff from Simon Sinek on the importance of #rewarding employee #behaviour. Building a thriving company #culture is often more about incentivising the cause (the behaviour) than it is about rewarding the effect (the outcome).

As leaders, we have a responsibility to grow the skills of the people within our company. Apprenticeship isn't outdated - in fact I think it's still a powerful tool for increasing collaboration and developing talent.

Managing people at work is all about choices; when to intervene, what to prioritise, what to work on. As entrepreneurs, founders and managers, I think we'd do well to tap in to our intuitions more often.

''Enhancing entrepreneurial ecosystems can support digital startup founders.'' I couldn't have put it better myself. I think we need to double down on digital entrepreneurship education - it could really help to spark innovation.

The widespread use of complex data to manage projects confirms the advent of intelligent software engineering. We can leverage this data to track useful metrics like software quality, developer productivity and more.

Mental and physical #wellbeing - the yin and yang of health. We're now aware of the havoc that stress wreaks on the body, yet when it comes to employees the dangers of bad mental health are often pushed aside. We need to do better!

Getting into the habit of saying 'no' more often is, in my opinion, a good step to cultivating a better work-life balance. Setting realistic goals is another facet of this. If you're overwhelmed, it's worth getting some outside help.

[Fred Joye @wheresfredagain]

It's vital to remember that your identity isn't just tied to work. Calendars aren't only for scheduling meetings - why not pencil in your time off too? Doing so can help you mentally unplug more - creating more space for deep work

[Fred Joye @wheresfredagain]

Working with software developers is like working with any other individual - show respect for them, and they will respect you in return. And, as with all working relationships, an understanding of employee values goes a long way.

To succeed in any startup funding endeavour, you'll need a strong narrative to support your numbers. Showing good unit economics is just as important as having a compelling argument as to why you'll stay relevant in the long term.
