Joining us on the show is Salma El-Wardany. Writer, speaker and Founder of Digitally Human, Salma is deeply passionate about DEI. She is here to speak to us about stripping back the language of diversity. While terms like “non-binary” and the use of pronouns in titles may make perfect sense to you or I, for others they could be entirely new concepts. Getting to understandable levels is important, making it more comfortable to ask those uncomfortable questions, to educate yourself and bring clarity and belonging to the forefront.

There has been an immense evolution in executive recruitment. Our guest, Simon Mullins – author of Leadership Recruiting and Chief Facilitator at ESIX – will be chatting to us about how the lens of this profession has broadened. No longer solely focused on leadership roles, it now also relates to critical talent gaps in organizations that are difficult to source. And this encompasses so much, from talent at a variety of levels to diversity and underrepresented groups.

What do you think is the biggest challenge facing managers when it comes to remote teams? Technology immediately springs to mind. Maybe geographical distance or communication? Well, according to our guests on The Shortlist this week, it’s actually mindset. Linda Jonas and Jason Lauritsen believe that how a manager thinks and approaches remote work is vital to its success. Cultivation mindsets can lead to very effective results, while a destructive mindset can unravel the whole process.
