By the time this episode is released, the UK will most likely be waking up to a new Prime Minister and Government (well, that's what the polls suggest!). And if your'e living in Europe, France is also in the midst of a Presidential vote too

So with politicians seeking votes, what happens when they also seek power? We've all heard the famous comic book line "with great power comes great responsibility" but can power also trap leaders into not being performant?

We'll be exploring the different ways this happens, and how leaders can leverage their power in productive ways too

Tune in and enjoy the episode!

Workplace authenticity, no doubt a key topic in your organisation's HR agenda to create a more welcoming, diverse workplace. In fact, many studies now show the link between authenticity and wellbeing .

But has the push towards it failed?

Too many employees remain fearful of openly discussing topics that may be deemed 'controversial'. Some out of fear of reprisals, others due to a lack of knowledge around workplace etiquette

We break it all down in this episode and also explore what authenticity means for leaders and how it can be a paradox in its own right

We frequently get told that middle managers are the problem. They are resistant to change, and in fact hold up change from occurring.

In this episode we explore these assumptions and question if they really stack up. Are middle managers simply corporate yes-men or is there more than meets the eye?
