Following on from yesterday’s article about the Zelensky lesson, today’s video goes deeper into the fact that we must be intensely conscious of how our teams are feeling during these times. In this video we speak about the level of cognitive dissonance that would be required to ignore how we...

The fact that I am losing followers on this newsletter every time I go on a people-related rant is in fact, good news. It’s very freeing, it means the ones of you who stayed aren’t looking for a certain narrative to “share internally” and aren’t afraid of the reality of the human work. In fact,...

A lot is being written about what the new normal will look like now that we are finally exiting the Covid nightmare. We work with hundreds of teams across industries and geographies and while of course, each situation is unique, there are more commonalities than there are differences. Last week...
