    070: When even James Bond isn't enough - In Good Company with Chris Blade

    When even James Bond isn’t enough to save your business… what do you do next?In this podcast Dan talks to Chris Blade - the CEO of Cumbria Crystal, the UK’s last manufacturer of luxury English crystal - who made the extraordinary decision to step down to protect something more important than his role: the skills that keep the business alive. This isn’t a podcast about crystal making, it’s about what happens when external factors conspire against every positive step you take. And one uncomfortable truth for all leaders: “without the skills of the staff, there is no company.” Chris's conversation with Dan covers: 🥃 The realities that forced a CEO to step down 🥃 How leaders can protect critical skills in their organisations 🥃 The personal cost of leading when there are no good options 🥃 The surprising link between craftsmanship, creativity, and economic growth Listen / watch now to find out more. 🔔 If you like this... why not subscribe so you never miss an episode of In Good Company?

    068: Understanding change differentials at work - In Good Company with Steph Oerton

    One change, many realities - sound familiar? The challenge organisations face today isn’t just change - it’s that the same change creates very different realities. Depending on your role, your life stage, where you work and what you’re measured on, change can feel like opportunity, pressure, freedom or threat. In this episode of In Good Company, Steph Oerton from Network Rail, draws on 30-years experience of leadership development to explores these change differentials - and what leaders need to notice if they want engagement, trust and wellbeing to survive ongoing change. The podcast covers:🚇 Why the same change can feel energising to some and unsettling to others🚇 What reciprocal mentoring reveals about experience, confidence and technology🚇 How leaders carry their role differently🚇 When wellbeing depends on telling it like it is “People need to understand why the change is happening. Creating a compelling vision helps people understand why - and then how they can contribute to that. Often change comes in like stealth and if people don't get it, they don't understand.”Steph OrtonListen / 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?

    065: Rethinking resilience - In Good Company with Jay Muthu

    Jay Muthu is no stranger to the way challenge can strengthen us. He contracted polio at 18 months old, and his experiences as a disabled child growing up in India have shaped his thinking on ambition, resilience and the importance of role modelling ever since. Jay is currently the Country HR Leader for BT Group in India and has spent his career working for global organisations across the world, with a focus on people development, culture and unlocking the potential in people. In this episode of In Good Company, he joins Dan to discuss: 💬 Why resilience is about flexible strength, not mindless resistance 💬 How our childhoods shape the type of leaders we become 💬 The advantages, and limits, of strength based leadership 💬 Surfacing your purpose and aligning it to organisational purpose "I’ve always believed: if you can’t walk, roll… and here I am today. I strongly believe minorities need positive role models, because you cannot become what you don’t see." - Jay Muthu #leadership #resilience #leadershipskills #leadershiplessons #purpose Listen / watch now to find out more. 🔔 If you like this... why not subscribe so you never miss an episode of In Good Company?
