Do you want to be more productive, creative, nicer to be around, full of energy and all whilst feeling healthier? Then you need to nap ... regularly.

Productivity (not to be confused with being busy) is excellent for raising your own chances of being successful in whatever you are pursuing but also we know it provides companies of all sizes a competitive advantage if you can be more productive than others in your sector. Today's episode extends work from the last two Tuesday sessions where we looked at TOC and Kanban, to a tour around Trello (No affiliation.)

Start of a new week means it's Strategy and Planning today. On this show we share some new research from McKinsey and the authors of a fascinating new book on strategy titled, "Strategy beyond the hockey stick."

On this show, we explore how some of those research findings might apply to leaders at all levels of an organisation.

We look at a model to explain the role of feedback and how to get yourself in the best place to receive feedback in way that you can then use it. As it was Film Friday we also shared some films that we find both fun and inspiring. I also did a really bad Darth Vader impersonation!
