🤔 Ahead of the England game this Sunday, I’ve been reflecting on some of the leadership lessons that are playing out (pardon the pun) during #Euro2024.   🏆 Critiques of England's timid performance against Slovenia remind me of Heidi K. Gardner's insightful arguments on why teams often underperform when it matters the most. Her research found that as performance pressure mounts, expert teams often grow more cautious and revert to tried-and-true solutions. In other words, when all that matters is winning, we might get too focused on not losing. When does your team pass backwards instead of going for goal?   🔊 By addressing the ‘unusual atmosphere’ at the game and asking fans to ‘boo me, not the players’, Southgate has prioritised creating psychological safety for his team, which is crucial for a healthy working environment. When was the last time you put yourself in the firing line so your team can regroup and grow?   🌀 One of the criticisms leveled at Southgate is that he fails to orchestrate the extraordinary talent in his team. We probably have the best players we've ever had in the tournament, but people feel they just don't work together well as a team. Proof that, even with the best group of individuals, there is still a role for a leader to bring them into a team to perform.   🔥 What game are they playing? Not the players, the pundits! Yes, it is their job to comment and critique. Yet, I am always baffled by the zeal and delight with which football pundits lay into England managers, effectively, "one of their own". They all used to wear the Three Lions on their shirt. With all the recent focus on mental health (not least in football), is this yet another instance of "I went through a baptism of fire, why shouldn’t you?” When was the last time you were the armchair expert?   ⚽ Will you be watching the game this weekend? What do you think of Southgate and his team?   #Euros #GarethSouthgate #Leadership #Euro2024 #UEFA #ThreeLions

"What is particularly striking is that the bulk of these schemes are squeezed into a relatively small part of the Square Mile, gathered around the cluster of towers that includes 22 Bishopsgate, the Gherkin and the Cheesegrater. At least 18 major schemes – most of them towers more than 30 storeys in height – are now being drawn up for a stretch of land running from Broadgate in the north, past Liverpool Street station, down Bishopsgate and ending at Gracechurch Street in the south. From conversations that Building has had with developers and consultants, it seems at least 10 more schemes in the area are also being developed but have yet to be made public." "If the construction timelines of the City’s commercial developers are to be believed, most of these schemes will be built over the next five years. This would transform what is already one of the busiest thoroughfares in London – anyone who has attempted to fight their way down the narrow pavements of Bishopsgate at rush-hour can attest to this – into one huge construction zone dominated by walls of hoardings for most of the rest of this decade." #construction In Building Magazine, Tom Lowe discusses the surge of proposals for big developments in the City of London as well as how this could transform the area and spark competition between developers. Lowe also discusses the City's past smaller schemes, what it takes for the proposed schemes to be picked over others, the issues that could arise if schemes go ahead at the same time and much more. https://lnkd.in/eWCtzuj2

We're excited to share our Whole Life Decarbonization Report, in partnership with global architecture, design and planning firm Gensler, and with contributions from Sterling Bay, Core Spaces, DLC Europe and EXP. The report covers best practices for reducing operational and embodied carbon, aligning decarbonization with fiduciary responsibilities, and implementing carbon reduction across various alternative real estate sectors — including a close look at life sciences, healthcare, data centers, student housing, senior housing, build-to-rent, and self-storage. Currently, constructing and operating buildings contribute an estimated 42% of the world’s carbon emissions. Our report highlights proactive strategies to mitigate this risk, ensuring long-term asset value and marketability.
