Leading with integrity: Leadership talk

Ep.44: Learning about leadership from Star Trek & other popular culture

For those who know me, you will understand how excited I was about recording this episode. It's one where two of my great passions collide: Star Trek and Leadership. Joined by guest, leadership expert, consultant and founder of the Starfleet Leadership Academy, @Jeff Akin. At some point we fell into a wormhole and/or temporal rift and completely lost track of time debating which is the best Star Trek episode/Captain/film.... but I'm pleased to say we did make it back onto the topic of leadership.Jeff has some great insights to share and this one is well worth a listen. If you'd like to learn more about the Starfleet Leadership Academy then check out his website: https://www.starfleetleadership.academy/ If you're interested in learning more about how to lead with integrity, head over to our website at https://live.leadernotaboss.co.uk/free If you enjoy this episode please take a few minutes to leave a review, every bit of feedback is appreciated and helpful.

Are you fulfilled at work? As a leader? As a business-owner?

It's not a loaded question, but it is an important one. This week on Leading with Integrity, I'll be chatting with Business Coach, Author, and Entrepreneur Robin Waite, who shares his journey from running a marketing agency to becoming a business coach. Key themes of the conversation include the importance of personal fulfillment, the challenges of corporate life, and the need for a supportive work environment.

The discussion touches on the effectiveness of corporate well-being initiatives, the potential benefits of a four-day work week, and the limitations of the traditional education system in preparing individuals for success in business (and life - and I'll confess to you now, I may get on my soapbox a bit here!!).

We also explore common mistakes that lead to business failures, why effective business planning is crucial; and what that can look like - it's not always a flash slide deck or 400-tab financial model. Leadership lessons are shared, we talk about trust and autonomy in management, and some inspiring examples of effective leadership.

It's a big conversation about big topics and there's some vital lessons & advice here for leaders and founders alike.

Do you often have disagreements at work or with friends?

Have you put much thought into the way leaders and colleagues should disagree, or how to do so without disrespecting each other?

Central to today's episode is an idea that is too easily forgotten in the heat of the moment with all of the modern context and stresses: it’s ok to disagree with someone. Disagreement doesn’t have to mean animosity, disrespect isn’t necessary to explain an opposing view. And perhaps most importantly, the role of conflict or disagreement isn't necessarily about bringing the other person to 'your side' or persuading them they are wrong.

This question is pivotal to effective leadership, great leaders recognise the value in opposing views, see the benefits of healthy confrontation, and are active in the way they encourage and develop these things within their teams. My guest today is Philip Blackett, a consultant and entrepreneur who previously has worked with big companies including FedEx, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America. Philip has authored several books, including "Disagree without Disrespect: How to Respectfully Debate with Those who Think, Believe, and Vote Differently From You" which is incredibly relevant!

This week I'm speaking with HR Professional, Katie Howard, who's on a mission to put the FUN back into HR. Katie shares some of the wild stories, as well as some enlightening and entertaining ones from a career in HR spanning government, corporate, and consulting. We talk about the red flags to watch out for in companies and in leaders, the pace of change, what great leadership looks like. One of the big topics that we discovered a mutual interest in was the changes in work and workplaces resulting from generational shifts, and this became a bit of a theme of the episode as we explore the differences, trends and stereotypes of Gen X, Millennials and later, and what the opportunities and challenges involved are. Katie had some insightful thoughts on how leaders need to be able to speak to every generation if they're to successfully maintain a functioning team.
