Bob was a legend in his media entertainment organisation. He knew everything about how it worked. He knew everybody in it. He had been in the organisation for decades and had literally grown up there. Becoming the head of the region.

The problem was Bob worked ridiculous hours. While he had a team of good people around him, he was a significant bottleneck. He was unintentionally preventing his people from realising their potential, because everything went through him. He was the source of all knowledge and wisdom.

Find out how Bob & I partnered to change his approach to leadership.

As a young leader in a fast-moving organisation, in the absence of the CIO, I was leading a major change program for the first time. Merging two technology divisions into one.

I had never done anything on this scale before.

This week I was interviewed by the incredible Sally Foley-Lewis for her annual Middle Managers Online Muster. The focus was on some of the themes from my latest book Confluence, and the global crisis of leadership.

The conversation got me thinking, yet again, about what is not happening in the sphere of leadership.

Too many people are coasting. Believing everything is, and will continue to be, A ok.

One of the most effective coach training programmes I ever delivered was for a government agency.

One of the challenges that came with this was the fact these leaders were nominated for the programme, rather than having the choice about whether they would like to attend it.

On the very first day of the programme, at the first morning tea break, one of the participants, David, came to me and said, "I really don't want to be here.'

I’ve been pondering … what is it that leads decision makers to choose not to invest in the development of their people?

A conversation this week reminded me of the context leaders are operating in right now, and consequently, how they are responding.

If you want to lead an organisation that enables, empowers, develops and supports its people and purpose – and who doesn’t? - then consider the possibilities developing a leadership coaching capability would create.
