Cheeky Half Episode (27): When you feel the world is burning, what then? 17:36

1M ago17:36

17:36

KG has referred to this conversation topic as a little 'spicy'. Though we suspect many of our listeners will feel the heat in different ways, if at all. Before you listen, be aware this conversation is politics 'adjacent'. However, we do not delve into any political detail, and it is not really a response to an election result. It is, though, a res…

(4.09) Leadership and The Wisdom of the Horse. 55:40

2M ago55:40

55:40

Being aware of how we 'show up' in our workplaces, how we interact with our colleagues and what our bodies are telling us in even the most seemingly trivial interactions (am I anxious, tense, relaxed, energised?) is, at least in our experience, a critical set of skills for anyone practicing leadership - at any level.

Do you ever feel like things are getting just a little too 'noisy' for you?

(4.08) Leadership and Organisational Culture. 57:23

3M ago57:23

57:23

In some ways, the word 'Culture' is as difficult to define as one of our other favourite words, 'Leadership'. A number of competing definitions abound, but what seems common to many of our experiences is that, whilst a clear and concise definition may not always roll off the tongue, we certainly seem very clear when we see or experience 'bad' cultu…

Cheeky Half Episode (25): Leading without a 'playbook'. 16:03

3M ago16:03

16:03

When leading teams or organisations, there is often an unspoken expectation that, no matter how dark the challenge, those leading us will know a way through to the light. After all, surely they have done this before. They simply open their leadership playbooks to the relevant page, and there we go. But there we don't. In this Cheeky Half Paul and K…

The concept of Resilience is one whose purchase has increased exponentially in Leadership circles over the past few decades.

(4.06) Leadership and the 'Common Good'. 51:11

5M ago51:11

51:11

We often talk about leadership as if we all shared a common understanding of its purpose. But what is leadership for, really? Is it to ensure things get done? Is it to inspire others to a shared goal or purpose? What if its purpose were both grander and more noble than that? What if leadership practice exists to effect the 'common good' in society …

Cheeky Half Episode (23): Listener feedback: What makes a great leader? 18:22

18:22

Cheeky Half episodes are Paul and KG's attempts at articulating ideas on leadership they've been tossing around but not fully comprehended. It's a way of starting a conversation and seeing whether anything 'sticks'. It is also a great vehicle for engaging with a growing, and increasingly vocal, audience. And it's the latter that really pumps them u…

Cheeky Half Episode (22): Isn't branding just for livestock?!? 16:23

16:23

The need to present a professional persona to the world is now pretty much assumed. In fact, in some circles it is expected. Social media platforms have paved approaches and practices that allow us to reach thousands, if not millions, of eye balls. The process and outcomes of shaping our image and narrative for the consumption of others is often re…

What makes a great leader?!? It wasn't until a listener emailed Paul & KG this question that it dawned on them they had never actually discussed this topic.

Cheeky Half Episode (21): Calling it as I see it: Leadership and 'Naïve Realism'. 9:40

7M ago9:40

9:40

We do love a 'straight talker'. Someone who is courageous enough to call out the BS. Someone who feels comfortable to speak their mind, and call it 'as they see it'. But sometimes it doesn't take much for a virtue to transform into a form of 'violence'; all of a sudden, we feel disempowered by someone else's 'truth'. A 'truth' held so tightly that …

Cheeky Half Episode (20): What makes for better leadership, self-confidence or self-awareness? 14:08

14:08

Many of us know someone in a Leadership position that oozes self-confidence. They are highly skilled, backing every one of their decisions, as if they were fated. However, what happens when those people lack self-awareness? Many of us have experienced that fallout too. But this leadership character 'equation' may also be turned upside down. What if…

If you are currently a practicing leader, regardless of the size of your team or organisation, you really don't need us to remind you that it can be a tough gig. Good leadership practice is nothing to sneeze at. It's serious business. But does it always have to be 'serious'? Is there any room for light-heartedness or humour? Can laughter enhance ho…

KG & Paul often refer to leadership practice as being contextual. No one size, style or framework fits all.
