  • 3: Simplicity series - How simplicity can be value, not just a process

    Focus, prioritisation, speed, agility - mastering simplicity makes all of these achievable and transforms your working life. Steve Jobs made it a way of life at Apple, and we have all benefited as a result. Simplicity efforts in organisations tend to focus just on processes. Most leaders do not see how they themselves create a culture of complexity around them, and how their own patterns of thinking and behaviour make it impossible to create a simpler, streamlined organisation. To master simplicity it has become a value, something so important that you will make personal sacrifices to achieve. Simplicity requires courage, but it is achievable. In this episode, the first in a series of four on Simplicity, Carolyn outlines the three personal drivers of simplicity, and how each of them is within your grasp.

Whichever culture goals and values you and your organisation aspire to, being smart about how you use symbols is the fastest way to signal change.

  • 1: "What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say." Are you walking your talk?

    Do you want to be seen as an authentic leader? That means living by the values you and your organisation espouse. “Be the change you want to see in the world”, said Gandhi, and when it comes to changing an organisation’s culture, that means translating aspirational goals like accountability, customer-centricity or one-team into day to day behaviours and actions. Many leaders are criticised for not walking their talk because they are not able to make this transition. This episode starts you on a practical, courageous journey to authenticity, one in which you can become a leader who can shape the culture you want.
