In the fifteenth episode of our second series, we have a very special bonus episode where I look to answer some of the listener questions which we have had. This is the first episode of this type and we would welcome many more listener questions as I would love to be able to do more episodes like this and share some thoughts on some of the challenges which are being faced by our listeners.

_____________

Some of the questions which I have answered in this episode are:

- What inspired you to pursue a career in leadership, and how has your approach to leadership evolved over time?

- What are some common misconceptions about leadership, and how would you debunk them?

- What strategies do you use to motivate and inspire your team, especially during times of change or uncertainty?

- How do you balance the need for innovation and risk-taking with the importance of stability and consistency in your leadership?

- Many leaders struggle with delegation. What strategies do you employ to effectively delegate tasks while maintaining control?

In the thirteenth episode of our second series, we have a very broad and passionate discussion with Eric Beck; Founder of Founders Fire.

_____________

In this episode Eric very passionately shares his message about providing employees a game worth playing. This message is so key, with employee motivation hitting a low and the epidemic of quiet quitting, Eric's message gives us a stark reality check around what may be causing this.

During this conversation we also touch on topics such as how society has out-paced biological development, leaving us with Neanderthal brains developed to fight or flight, within a society wrought with triggers. We also delve into a passionate topic of his, and mine, in terms of sustainability and the global crisis surrounding climate change and sustainable practices. How can we as leaders possibly have an impact on such a large issue?

This conversation was very different to many of the other podcast episodes we have had recently, but it is equally as enlightening and there are so many ideas and practices which can be taken on board and implemented. This episode's message is key; we must invest in the long term vision to build a sustainable and meaningful organisation, which provides its employees with a game worth playing!

Eric is a fantastic and passionate speaker, with many ideas which we can all take on board and learn from. Have a look at his LinkedIn, connect with him and go and explore what Eric has to offer on his website.

In this episode we explore the concept of Workaholism in Leadership. The culture within workplaces, alongside the organisational practices of rewards and promotions, can enhance this ever-increasing problem.

With many individuals either losing their motivation for work due to the demands, or experiencing burn-out and stress, workaholism is an ever increasing phenomenon, and leaders experience it in two ways; themselves or within their teams.

In this episode we explore the theory behind addiction and how this relates to workaholism, as well as exploring the impact workaholism has on our lives both within and outside of the workplace. We look at some of the approaches we can take to mitigate workaholism, although we do acknowledge the difficulties and challenges there are in addressing this.
