    Episode 42 - Leadership Lounge - Deliberate Delegation

    How to delegate well is a key component of leadership. But yet, so often delegation doesn’t go well and can lose its way with deadlines missed and outcomes that don’t match expectation, causing the leader to utter those immortal words, “I might as well do it myself!” But there is a better way. Delegation is not just about giving someone a job to do. Delegation is the act of giving someone else the responsibility and transferring authority. In this podcast, Colin Tapscott and Anna Hennell James explore how delegation therefore needs to be planned, purposeful and strategic. When delegating leaders need to think about skill strength, development opportunities and organisational capacity. They look at the 6W’s in delegating and clear time planning with review points and buffer zones and how to ensure that the person is clear on expectations. If you want to know in simple terms how to make delegation successful, then join us in the Leadership Lounge to hear how.

    Episode 41 - Leadership Lounge - Leading Without The Badge

    s leading all about the badge that you wear? But what if you haven’t been given a badge yet that says leader? Can you still lead? Colin Tapscott and Anna Hennell James believe you can lead without a badge and they discuss what this looks like. Leadership is rooted in purpose and a sense of presence that comes from that. You start being a leader when you lead yourself and then you can lead others with presence. Tune in to hear more how you generate purpose and presence and can lead without the badge.

    Episode 40 - Leadership Lounge - Kindness

    What do you think of kindness? How important is it to have in our organisations and what should it look like? Our interview in the Leadership Lounge is with Rachael Wyartt, Director and Co-founder of Kiltti, a training, coaching & consultancy business where kindness and consideration is at the heart of everything. Colin Tapscott explores with Rachael how kindness is much stronger than you think, brings clarity and boundaries and can have an impact on you, those you work with and your organisation. They explore how self-compassion and self-acceptance helps us accept our whole self which can be helpful in then accepting and loving others with their rough and smooth. This doesn’t mean that kindness means accepting things that are not ok. Kindness means we communicate with clarity and with a core driver of person centred and improving things. This podcast will help you reassess kindness and the power it can have.

    Episode 39 - Leadership Lounge - Navigating The Unexpected

    In leadership and life we are often taught to evaluate, strategise and plan. These can indeed be important for us as leaders. Life and leadership though does not always go to plan and the unexpected can happen. Colin interviews Alex Menhams about ‘Improv’ as he is a Trainer, Speaker and Improviser who runs the ‘Here & Now People’ Improvisation Community. So Alex has the perspective of ‘Improv’ to help us not fear the unexpected moments but in fact to engage in them in the moment.

    Episode 37 - Thresholds

    We often find ourselves in moments of transition. Moments of moving from one thing to another, whether that is a new job, a new moment in life, a new approach at work or a new way of doing something. The moment when we process this transition is the threshold. Thresholds can feel scary, but Trevor in his new book ‘The Gift Of Thresholds: Flourishing Through Challenging Transitions’ helps us see the beauty and opportunity that thresholds can offer us.

    Episode 35 - Mastering the Minimum

    Our topic today is ‘Mastering the minimum’. As a leader, we are encouraged to ‘paint the picture of the future, go there and people will follow’ as Seth Godin put it. We are the artists of the culture we want to create. In reality, we know that painting the picture we want established is not always followed. People have their own ideas and standards that are different to ours. Therefore, as a leader, establishing the parameters, ensuring the minimum standards are met are key to maintaining the culture.
