    077: Has AI changed the definition of high performance? In Good Company with Bobby Barry

    Every major technology shift creates leverage. AI is that most recent shift. What high performers tend to recognise is that shift earlier than other people. They tend to leverage and incorporate that into how they work before other people and, in doing so, they're the trendsetters that raise the standards for everybody else around them. Bobby Barry, the founder of Condor Consulting and former senior leader at LinkedIn, joins us to explore how AI is reshaping performance, leadership and development. In this episode of In Good Company, Bobby shares why the organisations seeing the biggest gains from AI are focusing on more than technology alone. While most AI conversations focus on tools, automation and efficiency, Bobby argues that leadership, mindset and development will ultimately determine who succeeds in an AI-enabled world. From rethinking what high performance looks like to treating AI as a learning partner, this conversation explores how leaders can help people adapt, develop and thrive through one of the most significant workplace shifts in decades. This episode involves: ✅ How AI is changing what high performance looks like ✅ AI as a coaching and learning partner ✅ Why leaders should see AI as a development challenge ✅ Rethinking the Eisenhower Matrix for the AI era ✅ Leadership behaviours that help people navigate change Bobby Barry is the Founder of Condor Consulting and a former senior leader at LinkedIn, helping organisations turn investments in people and technology into measurable business results. If you're interested in AI, leadership development, learning, performance, organisational change or the future of work, this conversation offers practical insight into how high performers are adapting and why leadership matters more than ever during periods of transformation. 🎧 Listen / watch now to find out more. 🔔 If you like this... why not subscribe to our YouTube and Spotify channels so you never miss an episode of In Good Company?

    075: People speak up. Then what? Bystander effect explained: In Good Company with Professor Mark Levine

    "The problem wasn't that people weren't speaking up. The problem was that speaking up was never successful."The bystander effect is one of psychology's most famous theories, but according to Professor Mark Levine, much of what we think we know about it is wrong.In this episode of In Good Company, Mark challenges the idea that people are naturally passive in the face of wrongdoing. Drawing on decades of research into helping behaviour, he explores why people often do intervene, why the real challenge isn't getting people to speak up, and what leaders can do to ensure concerns are heard, supported and acted upon.We discuss:✅ The myth of the bystander effect✅ Why people are more likely to help than we think✅ Speaking up versus successful intervention✅ Lessons from the murder of George Floyd✅ How leaders can harness the power of the group✅ Why senior leaders need bystander training tooProfessor Mark Levine is Professor of Social Psychology at Lancaster University and Director of the Lancaster Policing Academic Centre of Excellence.If you're interested in leadership, psychological safety, employee voice, organisational culture or group behaviour, this conversation offers a powerful rethink of what it really takes to create change.Listen / watch now to find out more.🔔 If you like this... why not subscribe so you never miss an episode of In Good Company?
