In Trinidad and Tobago we have a problem. Our young women go missing. Unfortunately some turn up dead.

Whatever is happening in the larger system is happening in the smaller system.  I have to ask

So many of us have watched at swooned over the Duke of Hastings form the show Bridgerton. ( Bridgerton is the name of a Netflix fictional drama set in  early 19th century England) 

While I myself admired the Duke's dashing good looks I paused at his decision making abilities.

In this episode I examine 2 leadership lessons from the Duke 

1. His Presence

2, HIs decision king abilities.

What other leadership lessons did you receive while watching the Duke of Hastings

We all witnessed the storming of the US Capitol. 

I've seen this scenario play out albeit on smaller scales in organizations that I have worked within and consulted with.

There is often the one rogue-leader who says what she wants behaves in a manner that raised eyebrows while other leaders stand by and watch.

Some questions to consider 

How is this leader hurting your orgnaistaion?

Does this leader represent your organisation's  core values

Why is the behavior of the role leader being tolerated?

Whenever something is the wider #system attracts a lot of attention I ask myself what lessons does it hold for the smaller system,

In this episode I look at the lessons from the US elections specifically the reactions of the incumbent President for our organisations.

Nirmala Maharaj is the Chief Social Justice Champion at the Social Progress Institute, 

In this episode she explains how leadership principles are used to serve NGOs and Faith based orgnaisatins.

Whatever is happening in the larger system is reflected in the smaller system.

The issues that play out on the public domain is a call for us to examine what is happening in our organizations.

As a leader when you see any dysfunction in the wider system, its a great idea to scour your organsaiton to see if these abnormalities are present.

Think of it this way.  It wouldn't show up in the larger system unless it pre existed in the smaller systems.

I always enjoy chatting with Nigel Romano.  

I have enjoyed our many conversations and I  also enjoyed this one.

Nigel shares his leadership experiences, how leadership has changed over his journey.  He also makes no apologies for wanting the brightest and the best for the most creative and challenging positions in the organization.
