9 Reasons to Attend the Leadership Showcase #6

We now return our reasons based on the topics themselves for our 6th reason to attend. You will remember leadership I rated such an important issue for us, not only in business but in life, so that for that reason alone the conference (http://www.astoundingleadershipinsights.com/) was worth attending. But there is also another prominent topic thatContinue reading “9 Reasons to Attend the Leadership Showcase #6”

9 Reasons to Attend the Leadership Showcase #4

My third reason for attending the leadership Showcase: Astounding Leadership Insights on the 8th September at the Dominion Theatre (http://www.astoundingleadershipinsights.com/) was the topic itself, leadership, which I pitched as being of incomparable importance for all of us.

So I shall write a blog on this as a reason to attend, but not sequentially now (to avoid the boredom of similarity), for in blog #4 I want to discuss a completely different of reason why one might attend this Conference: cost-benefit analysis!

Organisational Change Blocker #2: Busy-Busy Management

I looked last time at the first major change stopper within an organisation – dependency culture – and how this related to Motivational Maps and how Maps can help unravel this problem. The second major change blocker is similar: it’s the Busy-Busy Management style that is so prevalent within organisations, including the organisation of theContinue reading “Organisational Change Blocker #2: Busy-Busy Management”

Motivation and various Job Types!

My friend, Akeela Davies, asked me an interesting question recently.
