There are 3 things I am not seeing enough of when it comes to solving problems right now: 1. Identify what the actual problem is. Define it. Have evidence of it. Be able to prove it and the impact it is having. 2. Use problem-solving techniques to create options. Just chatting things through is old school. Stop it. 3. Make a decision based on the cost/effort of implementing the solution PLUS make sure it has a high benefit/value. Just make one with more structured thinking. Then experiment and see what happens. We get stuck in thinking paralysis. It's not fun. And it's not helpful. Yesterday's session with the University of Melbourne got me excited again about how practical this is. #workplaceculture #problemsolving #workplacechallenges

Imagine a workplace where people actually respond to messages (yes, even yours), people apologise for late work, share learnings from missed targets without fear, and shut down gossip in favor of direct communication. Sounds pretty cool, right? But here's the thing: Are you ready to make it happen? It's easy to demand change from "the organisation" or "leadership," but the real challenge is changing ourselves. The solution isn't "out there" - it's in the next decision you make. #accountability #workplaceculture #personalgrowth #leadership

We’ve just had the Olympics in Paris, as you know. It’s clear that high performance equates to a medal in this environment. If someone doesn’t get a medal does that mean they are not a high performer? If the medal is the only goal then yeah maybe. Or maybe not. Are they high-performance or not? Find out what I think in my latest blog. #feedback #highperformance #highperformingteam #teamsuccess

People and culture leaders are craving more time with their peers. Jorgina Sheehy knows that working with other P&C leaders dealing with similar issues is a game changer! The P&C Circle does just that. Book in for an info session to find out how you can join the club. https://lnkd.in/em-_wyNh #pandccircle #workplaceculture #peopleandculture #workplace

Show me an awesome leader who gets stuff done who doesn’t have evidence of this. Yeah, pretty hard to do. Great leaders know what needs to be done, have clear measurements about how to get there and create clear, trackable initiatives to get there. They use evidence and data to make sure they get stuff done. What gets measured gets done. If we want great places to work. We have to have data-driven leaders. Every single day. Data-driven leaders give their attention to the things that matter the most: - They don’t avoid the hard stuff - They use objective and relevant measures to make decisions - They align the organisations strategy to produce results that matter They focus on people and results. And they measure both of them. With equal value. This is the seesaw of leadership. Leaning into to both. We know we need focus on both for a workplace to be at its best. If we just focus on results you get disengaged people. And ironically over time the results will suffer. If we just focus on people you get little results. And ironically, eventually the team will get disengaged. Are you a people-focused organisation or focused on results? Both of them are valuable and without them you can’t create a kickass culture and build amazing teams. If you don’t know, you are not measuring it. Just sayin’. We’ll be talking about all of these things and more at the P&C Circle. Join an upcoming info session with me to find out more. You’ll get to have conversations that matter, with a community that inspires. https://lnkd.in/em-_wyNh #PeopleAndCulture #Leadership #workplaceculture

If we want to move away from an old school ‘performance review’ culture where we still have surprise conversations – then we need to catch up regularly with our people. Yes, we get that.   The 1on1s become the system. Do they guarantee we have meaningful conversations and actually benefit both the leader and their team – Nup! That’s got to do with the quality and that needs to be driven by both of you. #workplaceculture #leadershipanddevelopment #workrelationships #leadership #leadershiptips

Remember, great leaders aren't born in boardrooms - they're forged in these intimate, regular conversations. They're how you show your team they're not just cogs in a machine, but the MVPs of your organisational kick@#$ery!. Maybe it's time to flip the script. Instead of viewing these as obligatory check-ins, see them as your personal leadership dojo. It's where you hone your skills, uncover hidden potential, and craft your team's success story. So, next time you're tempted to cancel, ask yourself: Am I dodging an opportunity to level up my leadership game? #leadership #communication #workplaceculture #oneononeconversations #leadershiptip

Leading people and culture is a tough gig. And I think we leave ourselves behind as the last priority in the business. And I’m not down with that. There are so many levers you can pull, and strategies to implement awesome workplace cultures. As well as focusing on our own goals. But which ones really work? Angela Cilia is well aware of how tough, and lonely, this gig can be. This club is about working through these answers - with a group of people who get it. To create cultures that people love. Like actually. If you want to know more, I’m running 45 min info sessions for you to come along with questions and I’ll have the answers. Book in for one of the info sessions here to find out more. https://lnkd.in/em-_wyNh #pandccircle #workplaceculture #peopleandculture #workplace

“It takes two to tango” - especially at work! We've all heard that leaders should design catch-ups, but here's the plot twist: it's not entirely on them. Employees, it's time to take the lead! Remember, engagement isn't a spectator sport. Whether it's at home or in the office, relationships are a two-way street. #leadership #communication #workplaceculture #conversationatwork #feedbackculture

Think about it - you wouldn't ask someone else to get a haircut for you, right? So why wait for someone else to drive your growth? Remember: Engagement isn't a spectator sport. Lead the discussion. Don't wait. Your future self will thank you! Read more in this week’s newsletter. #workplaceculture #leadershipanddevelopment #workrelationships #leadership #growth
