    Leading through complexity: Tools for thinking and acting clearly (Ep. 43)

    In today’s fast-moving world, leaders are rarely solving simple problems with neat, linear answers. Most challenges are complex - full of moving parts, shifting priorities and unpredictable human dynamics. In this episode, Lucy and Juliet unpack what it means to lead through complexity: how to recognise when a problem can’t be ‘solved’ with more data or analysis, and what leaders can do instead. They explore how to pause, think differently and act with courage and to help your teams stay confident amid uncertainty. They explore: The difference between complicated and complex problemsWhy our brains crave certainty (and why that makes complex work hard)How to slow down and see multiple perspectivesThe value of small, safe-to-fail experiments and learning fast from the resultsWhy courage, curiosity and reflection are essential to leading well in complexity Episode links Making time to think (Ep. 1) "Simple Habits for Complex Times: Powerful Practices for Leaders" by Jennifer Garvey Berger, Keith Johnston Connect with Lucy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucygower/ Don’t miss out on practical tips and tools to build your confidence and skills at work - sign up to the Lucidity weekly email Connect with Juliet LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/julietcorbett Get tips on finding your strategic focus, empowering your team and regaining control over your time straight into your inbox - sign up for the newsletter Download the free ebook, 'The Strategic Leader' Explore coaching with Juliet Feedback Thank you for listening to Juliet and Lucy's Quiet Leadership Revolution podcast.

    The hidden reason your strategy isn't working (Ep. 42)

    Most leaders assume strategy fails because of lack of resources, time or clarity. But there’s a hidden reason that can trip up even the smartest leaders: ignoring the role of intuition. In this episode of the Quiet Leadership Revolution, executive coach and strategist Juliet Corbett and facilitator, trainer and coach Lucy Gower explore why strategy isn’t just about cognitive processing and analysis. Together they discuss: Why slowing down is essential if leaders want to hear and trust their intuitionHow sharpening strategic focus helps cut through noise and competing prioritiesWhy taking action is the only way to test and refine strategy in the real worldThe traps leaders fall into when they lean too heavily on just one of these areas Juliet also shares the backstory behind her new Strategic Flow Map - from her early career in strategy consulting to the turning points that reshaped her approach, including Cal Newport’s 'Deep Work', Michael Neill’s 'Inside-Out Understanding' and even some unexpected lessons following breaking her ankle. Listen in to discover how slowing down, sharpening focus and taking action combine to unlock strategic flow - and why missing one of these steps could be the hidden reason your strategy isn’t working.
