David Berz has led teams at Meta, LinkedIn, The Walt Disney Company and Mozilla. In this episode he joins Dan to talk about leading hybrid teams, from how online platforms can help encourage people to be human at work to what’s next in the world of hybrid learning.

In this episode Dan interviews Sylwia Chada, a people leader who we first met when she was General Manager of TikTok Poland, Central and Eastern Europe – she’s also a weightlifting champion. Sylwia has an honest approach to leadership: “Your title doesn’t make you a leader. It is the way you behave.” Join the conversation to explore how leaders can help people achieve their full potential, engaging GenZ and Millennials and how to manage ego.

Doing business is becoming increasingly complex, with ever-changing societal and environmental issues that require our attention, in order for organisations to continue to thrive sustainably.

Sustainable innovation is about creating and integrating new business strategies, products, and services that accelerate positive social change and protect and preserve environmental integrity, whilst enhancing business performance. It is a process through which environmental, social and financial considerations are integrated into company systems, from idea generation through to research and development and commercialisation.

In this episode, Impact's Scott Rose is joined by Ryan Hamilton, Chief of Staff for the Environmental Defense Fund, to discuss how change can be influenced within our organisations.

The issue for organisations isn’t that they are not learning organisations; it isn’t that they can’t learn. The issue is whether our organisations can actually learn something new.

Human-centred organisations are new learning organisations; they are committed to learning new things that change mindsets and behaviour, that help them to grow, to move beyond frozen mental models, identities, fears, and previous experiences.

But what does ‘new learning’ really mean?

In this episode, we listen to Impact’s Jo Appleby and Grahame Broadbelt as they discuss A New Learning Organisation.

No organisation is an island. Every organisation is intrinsically dependent for their success on the wider social, economic and environmental context, on both local and global scales. Human-centric organisations see no boundary between what is happening inside and outside their organisations; instead they see only  relationships, interconnection and interdependence. In this episode, we join Impact's Jo Appleby and Grahame Broadbelt as they discuss why Ecology is Everything.

It’s a common misconception that leaders and managers are different roles, but in human-centered organisations, leaders and managers operate on the same continuum, defined less by their job title than the work that they do. Because leadership isn’t a character trait or a job title; it’s a special and particular form of action that anyone can take, at any time.

Join Impact’s Grahame Broadbelt and Jo Appleby as they discuss human-centered leadership and management. 

Extremely difficult to build, but quick and easy to erode - trust is the oil that makes relationships work. Listent to Impact’s Grahame Broadbelt and Jo Appleby discussing how organisations can foster an environment of trust, and why this enhances business performance.
