    How to Coach the Person, Not the Problem

    Send us Fan Mail What if the real issue isn’t the problem someone brings you — but the way they are thinking about it? Or, perhaps it's how they're behaving... In this episode of Leading People, Gerry Murray is joined by coaching pioneer Dr Marcia Reynolds to explore a more powerful approach to coaching, leadership, and human development. Their conversation goes well beyond formal coaching. It looks at how leaders, HR professionals, and people managers can create better conversations by listening more deeply, reflecting more skillfully, and helping others find their own insight rather than rushing to fix, advise, or solve.   If you’ve ever wondered how to support real change in behaviour, confidence, and self-awareness — whether as a coach, a leader, or an HR partner — this episode will give you plenty to think about.

    Why We’re Not As Self-Aware As We Think We Are

    Send us Fan Mail Most leaders believe they’re self-aware. Research suggests otherwise. Studies indicate that while the majority of us think we understand how we show up, only a small percentage are accurately perceived that way by others. And under pressure — in uncertainty — those blind spots don’t stay hidden. They shape our decisions.Our relationships.Our leadership.In this episode of Leading People, Gerry Murray speaks with researcher and author Dr Julia Carden about why self-awareness is far rarer than we assume — and why it matters most in uncertain environments. We explore: Why other people’s perceptions of us don’t update as quickly as we thinkWhat makes feedback useful rather than threateningThe role of identity and ego in leadership blind spotsWhy self-acceptance is a quiet but powerful leadership strengthAnd how self-awareness builds adaptive capacity in unstable timesIf you’ve ever wondered why capable, intelligent leaders can still get in their own way — this conversation will give you language, research, and practical insight to reflect on your own leadership.

    How Employee Ownership Can Reset Leadership And Culture

    Send us Fan Mail What if engagement wasn’t the finish line — but the starting point? In this episode of Leading People, Gerry Murray is joined by Alli Gibbons, author of The Power of Ownership Culture, to explore how employee ownership can fundamentally reset leadership and culture — when it’s treated as more than just a new structure. Rather than focusing on legal models or financial mechanisms, the conversation centres on what really shifts when people are invited to take genuine responsibility — and why leadership matters even more, not less, in ownership environments. Alli shares insights from her journey across engineering, large-scale projects, and organisational culture, and explains why ownership doesn’t automatically change behaviour. Structure alone isn’t enough.  What makes the difference is how leaders  build ownership literacy tell a clear strategic story create decision rights that invite voice without losing momentum and shape environments where accountability feels meaningful rather than imposedTogether, we explore the practical leadership tensions this creates — psychological safety versus pace, participation versus clarity, and the pivotal role middle managers play as translators between strategy and day-to-day work. At its heart, this is a conversation about shifting from company-as-machine to company-as-community — where performance still matters, profit remains essential, but purpose becomes the anchor that sustains commitment over time. This episode is for leaders who are curious about ownership — or who simply want people to think and act like owners — and are willing to reflect on what that requires of leadership itself.
