Balancing dual leadership roles
“Making those steps from one industry to another you get to experience the best of everything. You never become institutionalised or entrenched in one industry or culture. You take a little patchwork of experience with you wherever you go.”
On this week's episode of Leadership Lessons, Jo Carman, director of Plusnet, discusses the lessons she learnt from her "squiggly" career, the major overhaul of Plusnet's customer offering and the challenges she faced when pitching her vision to Plusnet employees.
She also explains how she balances her role as director with being a chief marketing officer, including the "pitfalls of not setting boundaries".

The case for good management
It is an indictment of the value organisations place on management, in Ann Francke’s view, that 82% of those promoted into these roles have had no proper training.
This week on Leadership Lessons, the Chartered Management Institute's chief discusses why the prevalence of so-called 'accidental managers' is bad news for organisations, the economy and, of course, the individuals being managed.
She also explains why blanket return-to-the-office edicts are about "control", how self-confidence and self-awareness are the foundation of good management, and the reasons why she chooses to be honest about past failures.

How to become a 'friction fixer'
Every organisation is clogged with destructive friction – from convoluted meetings to antiquated technologies – that chips away at “our initiative, commitment and zest for work”.
That's the contention at the centre of a new book from Stanford professors Bob Sutton and Huggy Rao, which aims to teach people how to "live like a friction fixer".
This week on Leadership Lessons, Sutton shares some of the tips and tricks he and Rao learnt over the course of seven years spent researching the book.
Plus, you might not know them by these names but they'll probably be familiar: this episode also features discussion of jargon monoxide, power poisoning and decision amnesia.
