The two experts joining me today are Rebecca Sutherns from Guelf Canada and Greg Holland-King from Melbourne Australia, who will answer the questions:
\n\nWhat different challenges does ongoing uncertainty present to managers who may have successful managed change in the past?
\nWhy is collaboration so important during periods of uncertainty ?
\nWhat are some of the obstacles teams face everyday that can get in the way of collaboration? And what can be done to overcome those obstacles?
\nIf a manager wants to be a champion of collaboration, what are some of the most important skills they should develop? And how might they best develop them?
\nAre there any common everyday things that team leaders do that may unwittingly hinder collaboration?
\n“If you build a relationship at the time of need, it’s too late.”
\n“When you’re in the storm, that’s not the time to be replenishing your supplies on the boat.”
\n“As soon as you become a manager, you lose the luxury of being a cynical bastard.”
\n“Collaboration – you first go slowly to then go quickly.”

\n]]>']In this episode, we ask culture and leadership experts Fiona Robertson and Celeste Halliday:
\n\nWhat is culture?
\nIs creating a sense of belonging more difficult during COVID and remote working? Is culture?
\nAre there any new behaviours that are consistently sneaking into teams that are causing team performance issues?
\nOrganisations and people leaders spend a lot of time and resources on managing their culture but not so much about their “Why” or “Purpose”. Often their Purpose or Mission is just another poster on the wall. Why is this potentially a problem?
\nHow can front line managers create a sense of purpose in their teams?
\nCan managers build a positive culture in their team when the wider organisation’s culture is dysfunctional or toxic? How?
\n“We have evolutionary super-powers.”
\n“Culture are the rules of belonging.”
\n“We get the culture we deserve.”
\n“Your culture is impacted by what you do, and don’t do.”
\n“Vulnerability is courage.”
