    Trust, Psychological Safety and Values - What's Missing?

    Organisations work hard to create inclusive environments, where people feel they can express and be themselves. Trust is more important now with so many people working from home, yet managers still walk a tightrope with trust. Then we have all the work organisations do on Values - identifying the right ones, making sure people understand them, and then articulating the behaviours that truly express them for the organisation. Despite all this work, why do scandals such as the Dr who sexually harassed his junior colleagues, or the McDonald's managers who abused their employees, some as young as 17 years old still occur? Remember Starbucks closing all 8000 stores across the U.S. to undertake racial bias training? Something is missing. Join Amrit in this week's podcast to explore what more organisations can do to create safe, trusting and aligned cultures that allow everyone to understand the identity of an organisation and how it operates.

    The Painful Truth - Is Your Workplace Toxic?

    Why do people continue to work in toxic environments? Rational, bright and sane individuals endure the daily grind of subjecting themselves to toxic environments, but why? Many people have heard of the 996 culture in tech - 9 am to 9pm, six days a week. These people are celebrated, and we're told they love working the hours, as they love being in states of 'flow'. When you ask those people who hate their work, some will tell you that it's great. They can't seem to face into the fact that their workplace might be toxic, leading to cognitive dissonance. Do they talk themselves out of how bad it really is? Sometimes, we all need to face into the painful truth, that this is not the place for us, and we need to get out. Join Amrit as he explores why people stay, why they continue to publicly endorse their organisation, despite all they experience. The Painful Truth - Is Your Workplace Toxic?, this week's podcast.

    Self Sabotaging Your Organisation's Growth?

    This year proves to be anther challenging year. Our teams are expected to do more with less. Geopolitical tensions mean the old maps we relied on to navigate this complex world, have been torn up, leaving us trying to understand where we go from here. We desperately want to drive greater innovation and creativity but cannot seem to get off first base. Could we be unintentionally be holding ourselves back? Rather than looking externally for a magic solution, could the answer to greater performance and productivity be right under own noses? Join Amrit for this week's podcast where we explore how we might be holding our own performance back. Are you self-sabotaging your organisation's growth?

    A Second look - Authentic Leadership with David Hynam

    As many of you will have seen, we've been going through our back catalogue of guests, from our previous podcast series. Since then, we've rebranded, and some of our listeners, may never have heard the amazing guests we've had on our podcast. This week, we've decided to save the best. This podcast was the most listened to podcast of all the 100+ episodes we recorded. It has consistently been downloaded hundred of times since. David Hynam at the time of recording this podcast was in charge of Bupa Care Services. He has since gone on to become the Chief Executive at LV=. The reason we wanted to share this with you, is because he talks about Authentic Leadership, but doesn't just talk about it, he exemplifies it each and every day and has consistently done so. It was an absolute pleasure to record this podcast with David, and it's our pleasure to bring this back to our new audience! Enjoy

    A Second Look: David Marquet on Transforming a Command Culture

    L. David Marquet, a US Navy submarine captain, takes command of the USS Santa Fe, the worst-performing sub in the fleet. He’s trained for a different submarine class, so he doesn’t know this sub well. Early on, he gives an order that literally cannot be carried out (because that control doesn’t exist on this type of sub). The officer repeats the order anyway. Marquet realises the problem isn’t “bad people” but a leader–follower culture where everyone is trained to obey, not think. His experience led to his book 'Turn the Ship Around'. This episode is from our back-catalogue of our previous podcast series, where David joined Amrit to share his fascinating story. Here it is for our new audience on this podcast. Enjoy1

    The Neuroscience of Trust

    Back in the middle of lockdown, we had the opportunity to interview Paul Zak, one of the most cited scientists in the world. If you've ever undertaken any leadership development with ourselves, then you will have heard us speaking of the amazing research by Paul Zak and his team into Oxytocin and trust. Trust is, and will always be the foundation of an engaging workplace, and the critical ingredient for stronger relationships. So, since this podcast was first recorded when we were called 'The Engagement Coach', we thought it would be a great idea to bring this to our new audience. The Neuroscience of Trust - this week's podcast with Paul Zak!

    The Cost of Silence

    How many regular meetings are held across your organisation that are a complete waste of time? What routines are expected of most people but they are a complete nonsense, but everyone does them anyway? There are many practices that go on across organisations that add little value, and in fact probably do more harm, but no one calls them out. Self-silencing has an impact on the organisation, where people don't feel they can call out the 'emperor has no clothes on', but also on the individuals, who cannot express their true feelings. What makes people go quiet? Some might question why bother to say anything, as they don't think anyone is listening anyway. Join Amrit for this week's podcast as we explore The Cost of Silence.

    The Pursuit of a Happier Workplace

    When was the last time you heard someone described their workplace as 'happy'? Some people might even question whether we want happiness in the workplace, as they might see happiness as representing frivolity, poor productivity and poor performance. Others might argue that when people are happy, they might do their best work. Happiness could also be labelled as being 'satisfied', and when people are satisfied, are they likely to have the motivation to do more? Happiness it seems is complex. There is no doubt though, that the pursuit of happiness, is what every human being is after. Join Amrit as he explores what role happiness has in the modern workplace, and how we might achieve it. The Pursuit of a Happier Workplace - this week's podcast.
