#66 Is now the time for strategic patience? 9:58

cách đây 12 ngày trước9:58

9:58

Effective leadership isn’t merely about decisive action—it’s also about recognising when not to act. In this episode, I explore strategic patience as an underrated leadership skill. We’ve all seen hasty decisions that create bigger problems later. So, how do you know when to hold steady and when to move? I've just launched a new LinkedIn newsletter, called The Suite Spot, packed full of essential insights and practical strategies for C-Suite leaders and those who develop them.

#64 Exploring the breaking points of Big Healthcare and Big Food 10:32

cách đây 8 weeks trước10:32

10:32

I’ve been reflecting on two stories from late last year—stories that aren’t just news headlines, but signals of deeper, systemic cracks in industries we depend on. The first story: The tragic murder of United Healthcare’s CEO, Brian Thompson, in broad daylight. While the act itself was horrific, the public’s reaction was startling: social media erupted with jokes, and many Americans seemed to view the act as a violent expression of anger at a healthcare system accused of prioritizing profit over people. The second story: A groundbreaking lawsuit against 11 major food corporations, alleging that ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are engineered to be addictive, contributing to a public health crisis. For many, these foods have become as harmful as cigarettes once were. What connects these stories? Both are about systems that have lost their purpose. A healthcare system that denies care to boost profits. A food system that prioritizes addiction over nourishment. As executive leaders, what should we take from this? I believe we need to start asking tougher questions: When is enough, enough? What happens when a system’s priorities become so misaligned with its purpose that it breeds distrust—or worse, existential threats? If you'd like to read about this topic, I've also created a blogpost, which you can access here: https://waldencroft.com/when-is-enough-enough/ If you'd like to stay up to date with the work that we're producing to enhance the Collective Enterprise Leadership of Executive Teams, you can receive our bi-weekly newsletter.

#58 Executive Loneliness with Nick Jonsson 43:52

There’s an epidemic of executive loneliness is the corporate world today. On this episode of the podcast, I’m joined by Nick Jonsson, author of Executive Loneliness , where he shares his personal experiences of striving for success whilst struggling with the negative consequences of a winning mindset. He shares how self-doubt, anxiety and a colluding organisational culture that simply wanted to him to smile and be successful led him to turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms, including addiction, and eventually to him leaving the corporate world in a personal crisis. Whilst at his own rock bottom, a friend of Nick’s took his own life. It was then that he realised how important it is that we support leaders who may be experiencing loneliness and depression in the workplace. This provided a catalyst for a new life purpose and the drive to turn his life around and help others. You can find out more about Nick at his website: https://www.nickjonsson.com/…

#56 In Praise of Slow with Carl Honoré 58:08

cách đây 24 weeks trước58:08

58:08

Is your life an endless rush from one thing to the next? That was certainly the case for Carl Honoré, my guest on today’s podcast. He is the author of the phenomenally successful book In Praise of Slow . Carl explains his journey to the slow movement, triggered by an epiphany of recognising the need to slow down and reconnect with the art of living in the moment when he found himself trying to rush the bedtime stories to his son. He discusses how our fast-paced culture permeates all aspects of life, from the boardroom to the bedroom. And he shares examples of absurd manifestations of the go-faster culture, such as speed yoga and drive-through funerals! The executives I work with are incredibly busy and have large and important portfolios of work that they’re managing. They're also experiencing an epidemic of burnout. The idea of slowing down is anathema to many executives. But as Carl explains, slowing down is not just about reducing speed but about being present and doing things well. It’s also about knowing when speed is important, and when giving yourself a bit more space around your work would enhance it immeasurably. __ Carl Honoré is an award-winning writer, broadcaster and two-time TED speaker. The Wall Street Journal hailed him as “an in-demand spokesman on slowness.” CBC Sunday Edition called him “the world’s leading evangelist for the Slow Movement.” His bestselling books have been published in 36 languages. While researching his first book, In Praise of Slow , Carl got slapped with a speeding ticket. This link has all of his books, courses, etc in one place: https://linktr.ee/carlhonore In case you missed it, he made a thing recently for BBC Radio 4: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0021hc4…

How do we balance AI integration with a human-centred organisational culture?

What does it mean to be authentic as a leader? Are there ways of being that are authentic, or is it just an excuse for some pretty bad behaviour under the guise of 'that's just me, I say it like I see it?" Welcome to the new season of the Advanced Executive Leadership podcast. We're back to a fortnightly cadence with guests, and solo episodes.

#53 Renewables and Leadership with David Currie 26:41

cách đây 37 weeks trước26:41

26:41

We’re interrupting our podcast season break because this week I’ll be speaking at the Global Offshore Wind conference in Manchester. I’ll be inviting those in attendance to consider that as we transition away from extractive technologies and the associated ways of thinking and operating, so must we move to a more generative model of leadership. One that enables people and organisations to thrive in our new world. To mark the conference, I had the opportunity to speak with David Currie, who has over 30 years’ experience in the energy industry. He joined Proserv in May 2018, first as its Chief Executive Officer, and since July 2022, as Chairman. David is also a member of the Scottish Government’s Ministerial Trade Board, which was established to support and boost Scotland’s exports and a Board Member of the Energy Transition Zone, which has a pivotal role in establishing the North East of Scotland as a global leader in energy transition to net zero. On the podcast, we explore in what ways the energy industry's transition towards renewables requires effective leadership, innovation, and talent development. We explore both challenges and opportunities of navigating the transition and the need for a middle way approach that acknowledges the complexity of the transition whilst embracing the potential of renewables and reducing carbon emissions. You can listen to the podcast by clicking the link below. And if you’re attending the conference, please come and say hello – or better still come and participate in my talk.…
