Everything changes with time, and leadership is no exception. How we were led is no blueprint for how we need to lead.

What do we keep and what do we discard in order to build an organisation better equipped to meet the challenges ahead, one that feels like “home” for all?

Old ways plus new ways lead to better ways.

It’s human to fear change. Lateral hires bring in new and potentially transformational ways of doing things, but this can disrupt existing teams, leading to a sense of threat and feelings of discomfort.

Our ability to make good decisions comes from being open to informing ourselves about what’s really going on, and moving away from making assumptions.

Build your people into a cohesive team with a clear mission, vision and strategy.

There is no ‘them’; there is only ‘us’ (the team) and ‘we’ (the context).

Turning fear into opportunity and growth.

Cancel culture stifles creativity and free speech. No team can operate at its full potential when people feel they’re walking on egg shells. Build resilience to tolerate others’ differing perspectives.
