Building a balanced team
October 20, 2021 19:00 - 9 minutes - 6.82 MBBuilding a balanced team is a tricky proposition. We're limited by a number of factors that push us towards homogeneity, or in other words, having a team where people look pretty much the same. When building a team, there is no recipe for the right balance – at least, not exactly. While a good chef may be able to cook without instruction, they still have a rough idea of what they want to come out of the oven. Like cooking, team building is “both an art and a science,” and it’s certainly n...
How to ask better questions
October 18, 2021 20:00 - 8 minutes - 5.65 MBMuch of an manager’s workday is spent asking others for information—requesting status updates from a team leader, for example, or questioning a counterpart in a tense negotiation. Yet unlike professionals such as litigators, journalists, and doctors, who are taught how to ask questions as an essential part of their training, few business owners think of questioning as a skill that can be honed—or consider how their own answers to questions could make conversations more productive. That’s a ...
How to make effective decisions
October 08, 2021 23:00 - 7 minutes - 5.52 MBDecision making is the process of making choices by identifying a decision, gathering information, and assessing alternative resolutions.

Leading through mental health challenges
October 03, 2021 19:00 - 13 minutes - 9 MBAround the world, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on our health. It’s not just our physical health that the virus has hurt – it’s also done a lot of damage to our mental health.

Why you need a diverse team
September 29, 2021 20:00 - 12 minutes - 8.81 MBStriving to increase workplace diversity is not an empty slogan — it is a good business decision. A 2015 McKinsey report on 366 public companies found that those in the top quartile for ethnic and racial diversity in management were 35% more likely to have financial returns above their industry mean, and those in the top quartile for gender diversity were 15% more likely to have returns above the industry mean. In this weeks episode we chat about the benefits and some of the challenges you ...
Leading remote teams
September 28, 2021 07:00 - 15 minutes - 10.9 MBIt may not be widely known that heading into this pandemic about a quarter of the workforce in the Unites States already worked from home – at least a portion of the time.

How to run an effective online meeting
September 22, 2021 20:00 - 14 minutes - 9.65 MBLast episode we spoke about effective meetings, but with a global pandemic we are running online/virtual meetings more than ever before. It seems unlikely that we will ever fully return to a world where we only hold business meetings face-to-face, or where so many people work from offices in the centre of cities. We were already edging towards an understanding that not all business travel was necessary. This means, however, that knowing how to run and present at remote meetings and conferen...
Running a effective meeting
September 19, 2021 21:00 - 10 minutes - 7.04 MBMeetings often get a bad rap as annoying interruptions to our “real” work. However, a well-run meeting can and should have quite the opposite effect. A great meeting should produce collaboration - a sense of dialogue and community among participants, clarification - new and useful information, and invigoration - a renewed energy for continuing activity after leaving the meeting. In this ep we share with you how to run the most effective meeting! @leadingherteam www.leadingherlife.com
How to be taken seriously as a leader
September 15, 2021 21:00 - 15 minutes - 10.8 MBStepping into a leadership role doesn’t guarantee immediate respect from the team.

This ep takes you through how to be taken seriously as a new leader. We also dive into what its like to be a young new leader! @leadingherteam www.leadingherlife.com

Leadership is supposed to be fun
August 25, 2021 20:00 - 8 minutes - 6.05 MBWe spend a lot of time talking about the difficult elements of leadership, and how to overcome them.

August 22, 2021 21:00 - 12 minutes - 8.48 MBWe wish we had been given this advice when we started out and that’s: no one starts as a great leader but you at least have to accept that the challenge exists and shouldered responsibility for becoming better.
