I'm pretty excited about this one, because words like 'gamification' tend not to be taken all that seriously within businesses and you might be forgiven for thinking "what's that got to do with leadership anyway?" until we join the dots to other words like behaviour, motivation, and neuroscience. So in today's episode I'm speaking with Roman Rackwitz about ALL of the sciences, the brain stuff, the tricks of human behaviour and motivation, how this leads into gamification in the productive, useful ways (and not the gimmicky nonsense most of us will probably have encountered before) and how all of this links back to leading more successful teams.

How strong are your resilience anchors? This week on Leading with Integrity, Joyce Odidison and I are discussing 3 of the big issues of leadership right now: burnout, conflict and resilience. Joyce is a conflict analyst and an expert on wellness, mental health and psychological safety in the workplace which meant we had plenty to talk about from both leader and follower perspectives. From the critical role of resilience anchors in personal and organizational success to self-belief and core values in aligning with a vision. Joyce shares her experiences as a conflict analyst and introduces her resilience mapping framework, which helps individuals and teams assess their resilience across nine dimensions.

Ever noticed how some leaders seem to thrive (almost) effortlessly, while others struggle despite having similar technical skills, similar experiences, similar levels of seniority? What if the "secret" to effective leadership were in how you connect with others and less to do with your technical skill? In this episode I'll be looking for the answers to these and other questions with my guest, Anthony (Tony) Silard. We talk implicit norms and their impact on culture, loneliness at work & for leaders, the role emotional intelligence and social skills have to play in these, gender dynamics, societal expectations, salary gaps, longevity, well-being and more.

This week I'm joined by Jenny Green to talk about two quite different topics, which we've not really covered before: 1. working parents and how to support them as a leader, and 2. creepy bosses and how to spot them/avoid becoming one! We talk wider topics too, like work culture, the pressures and expectations placed on parents (and students!) by schools and society, the impact of technology and AI, the balance between professional responsibilities and family life and the emotional challenges faced by parents. This chat was really good fun, from our own early career experiences to the good, great, and terrible leaders we've each encountered, right the way through to time travel, space, and leadership heroes.
