Not as evil as the media would have you think (or the below the line comments in The Times). Mostly up a mountain (if I get the choice). Work, leadership, organisational behaviour and social impact.

Leadership isn’t a game of two halves, it is a constant. There are no rehearsals, no practices and your mistakes will happen live and in real time. That’s ok, if we embrace that as a strength.

We talk a lot about fairness at work. But how often do we consider what we need to give up or compromise on in order to create a fairer workplace?

Job titles...they don't matter and yet they matter A LOT. It is time to drop the ego and simply describe what you do.

Commentators on ITV rugby berating people from leaving the rugby in Rome early. Then put the game on at a time that suits the crowds attending and not the TV schedules. It’s nearly 6pm on a Sunday there.

The big admin blob that drains us all I was struck the other day by a post that Tim Baker shared on Linkedin suggesting that one in three HR professionals in the UK were considering leaving the profession, with 41% suggesting unnecessary admin as one of the causes. Now, of course, the company…

Fast news is bad business When I was starting off in business, we didn’t know a lot about what other organisations were doing. Of course there were newspapers, there were magazines and there were conferences, but the speed at which we learnt what was going on was…slow. You might get the odd piece…

Culture is complex Culture is a funny thing, people will tell you they can measure it, improve it, encode it, decipher it. I’m really not that sure they can. Culture is so many things, moving in intertwined ways throughout organisations, it is complex and ethereal and yet most of us will be able…

It’s ok to say, “I don’t know” If you were asked direction to a location you didn't recognise, what would you do? You might get out your phone and go to a source of information - a mapping app - and see if that might provide the data you need. You might suggestion the person speak to someone with…

Does anyone else have a moment when they’re writing 2025 and suddenly feels ridiculously old? Just me then.
