Humans Leading Humans

This weeks guest is Kim Polman, Co-Founder and Chair of Reboot the Future. She inspired Katz to build the Imaginal Leadership story into the core of the bible according to beep. In this thought provoking conversation, Kim presents her version of the Golden Rule. You know the one.. you learned it at school: “Treat others as you would wish to be treated.”

She explains why this one simple, powerful statement has been pivotal to philosophies and religions throughout history - and why it is a priceless principle for business. She asks us to imagine a world of work where every leader in every department, at every level, runs every action, every decision, through the lens of that one simple rule…. and tells the story of a UK business whose leaders operate according to it. With an annual growth of 22% every year over 14 years, the impact is clear.

Ask yourself this question : Are you leading the way you would like to be led?

Leanne Lynch is Director Of Technology and Cyber Defence at Heathrow and 100% Imaginal Leader. After working for telecoms, internet, manufacturing, FMCG she joined Heathrow. 9 months later she was asked to head up, not the one department she signed up for, but all four technology departments.

This is the first time in this series that my guest Leanne, and I teared up. Her stories will resonate with every leader who fell victim to the unexpected and unwelcome explosion that was COVID. This courageous, caring woman tells three authentic stories about how she creates environments where people blossom and shine. She explains the need to continue to care and take ownership especially when the chips are down and the pressure is on.

Sir John Timpson has proved that CREATE Leadership absolutely works.  Timpson is the UK’s biggest retail service provider with 5,600 colleagues, 2,000 stores and 119 "Snappy Snaps" franchises across the UK . It turns over £330 Million every year.

How did he get there ?

At a time when less and less people were having shoes repaired, he bought back the network of retail outlets and set about proving that “just because it’s normal doesn’t make it right.”

Realising that people who deal with customers know what customers need better than any lofty leader,  he scrapped Head Office and banned managers from telling colleagues what to do. Then started actively recruiting prisoners. What could possibly go wrong.

His stories are an inspiration. Sir John has proved that a leaders only job is to CREATE culture where humans thrive, that agile is something companies everywhere can do and that doing good is good business.

He is most definitely an imaginal leader.
