Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

84. What Scale Up Founders Go Through
Q: What is the one takeaway you want listeners to have?
Be really employee-centric, as a leader you have to vocally support decisions and frameworks for them to be effective.
80. Navigating Through an Uncertain World
Q: How do you suggest someone begins to figure out what they truly want?
Start with small, low-consequence decisions to exercise the muscle of desire and agency; for instance, deciding what to eat or how to spend your Saturday, which can help build confidence in making larger career choices later on.
80. Navigating Through an Uncertain World
Q: What are the most relevant permissions for mid-to-late career professionals?
The first permission, 'Be willful,' stands out as it encourages individuals to connect with their own desires and aspirations, which are often overshadowed by duty. It's important for people to explore what they truly want as they navigate their careers.
74. The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings
Q: How do we make sure line managers are effective?
Line managers need training, feedback mechanisms, and modeling from senior leaders. They're fundamental to employee experience and should be linked to organizational values.
74. The Art and Science of 1:1 Meetings
Q: What are the common mistakes you see in one-on-one meetings?
Common mistakes include irregular cadence, talking more than the direct report, cancelling meetings, and not having a clear ending to discuss outcomes and commitments.
