Building Better Leaders

Each one. Reach One. The theme for this years National Inclusion Week which runs from 28th September to 4 October 2020.

Leading last week. Following this week - What can we learn about leading when we follow?

So, what is Leadership exactly? John & Rachael lift the lid on Leadership and in doing so they also draw comparison with management. The terms are often used synonymously, yet we find out that the roles demand very different attitudes, disciplines, and behaviours.

Leadership Essentials

In the Coaching Approach we catch up with Janet who is having a difficult time learning about the impact she is having on her team; transitioning from being the effective manager who was on top of everything, to a growing awareness of her reputation as a new leader. 

At Scaffold we understand that people are experiencing very uncertain futures and hard times ahead with the ever present threat of redundancy. This can feel very daunting and lonely; so if you are going through this or you know anyone in this position we hope this podcast will offer support, hope and understanding by helping reflect on re-shaping redundancy.

Join Rachael & John in discussion with Ant Cohen the founder of "Project Displaced" Australia's free, volunteer-run career support service. Ant shares his own experiences on having been made redundant three times, what he's learned, and how he's helping people in the same position.

Asking more questions in The Coaching Approach they consider what sapps peoples' motivation; what are the 3 Fears that lie behind our de-motivators, and how your own leadership style effects your motivation and that of your team.

As employees return to the workplace with different views of what they want from their working lives, John & Rachael take a look at the future of LnD post lockdown.

In The Coaching Approach we delve a little deeper and ask questions about your organisations key objectives for the next 12 months; what does "whole life" and "individualised" learning mean to you and your thoughts on leadership.

Many of us find ourselves caught in the middle between our Boss and our Team -  In todays episode John and Rachael look at: How we can best influence from this middle position.

Our Leadership Essentials:

In The Coaching Approach takes a more in-depth look by thinking about the bigger picture, how much value you can add through your influencing, finding room for people to challenge you, and that “difficult conversation” you know you need to have; through the eyes of our fictional leaders Janet and John.
