This week we are celebrating a milestone in our podcasts – 250 episodes! So we thought we might talk about information overload as it relates to leadership.

(Of course, we don’t consider these podcasts as information overload.)

In this podcast Kim and Fulyana look at ways to filter information so you can improve your leadership skills without penalising your team or your decision making abilities.

We do appreciate all those who listen to our podcasts as well as the many generous guests we have had since we started on this adventure in 2015. Planning is already underway for episode 300…….

This week we look at a case study sent in to us by a listener. It covers some of our suggestions for approaching a perceived need to improve a process when you are new to a team or an organisation.

How can you not be seen as the “new” person who thinks they know it all?

This week we have a case study looking at a delayed internal transfer and how to manage that within a team.

Have you asked for a transfer only to have it ignored?

Listen to the suggestions from Kim and Fulyana from both the team leader and team member perspectives.

Do you despair of the next generation of managers? Does your organisation promote on time or ability?

This week Kim and Fulyana look at what organisations and individuals can do to ensure business leadership is moving in tandem towards the future.

The link for the earlier podcast episode mentioned in their discussion is below.

Do you use the “S.E.E.D.” system to select potential managers?

Managing Your Digital Profile with Beck Cofrancesco

In a previous podcast (link below) we have looked at the value and approaches to knowledge transfer in organisations. What if you, as the knowledge owner, are blocked from transferring your knowledge by political or personal issues with a new team or management group?

This week Kim and Fulyana look at how to work around roadblocks using an actual example from Kim’s experience.

Knowledge Transfer podcast referred to during the above episode.

This week Kim and Fulyana explore the effects of micromanaging a project when its outcome may reflect on your personal profile in an organisation.

Are you a micromanager? Have you been subjected to micromanagement which led to you feeling you were not trusted with leading a team or project?

Listen to the discussion for some simple tips and approaches to this common work life situation.

Do you worry that someone will tap you on the shoulder and say “you don’t belong here”? You are not alone!

This week Kim and Fulyana explore what is called “imposter syndrome” and find it is far more widespread across organisations and careers than you might expect. They discuss ways you can address it (ways they have tried themselves) and share insights from their own experience.

It has been a little while since we shared a case study with you, so this week we are looking at a dilemma for a listener.

Having set a goal to start a business after reaching a certain point in a career, there are now two further (and prestigious) opportunities being offered right at the time of finalising activities to start the business.

What would you do? How would you decide? How would you tell others about your decision?

In the final part of our discussion with Nancy Giordano, we explore what the future and future leaders might be.

Will you be curious enough to explore that scenario?
