  • episode 37 - the word is hock
    Sep 15 2024
    In this, our 37th episode of ‘The Word is Leadership’, I tackle our random word ‘hock’ to uncover insights into leadership development and personal growth. Defined as the joint in a horse's leg, "hock" prompts images of forward and backward motion, connections, and adaptation which lead me to use the letter of a word itself to delve into development and change. I use the letters of the word HOCK as the foundations of our inquiry into continuous leadership development and personal evolution. I argue that we start by "Having" a clear vision of our goals and aspirations along with a clear assessment of our current situation. Next, we must decide if we will achieve our goals by acquiring new skills, knowledge, or resources ("Obtain"), make sure we play to our strengths (“Keep”) or adjust our existing situation to our desired state ("Change”). Through this cyclical learning loop, we harness the power of connections and forward-backward motion inherent in the definition of "hock." As we ponder our own leadership journey, it is always worth considering if we have a strong "hock" to propel us forward.

  • episode 36 - the word is enamel
    Sep 8 2024
    In Episode 36 of "The Word is Leadership", helped by our random word ‘enamel’, I ponder the question ‘do I possess the qualities necessary to be attractive without compromising my identity?’ which prompts reflections on the intricate artistry of leadership. We explore the profound parallels between enamel's protective surface and the essence of effective leadership. Just as enamel shields what lies beneath, leaders must strike a delicate balance between authenticity and the need to appeal to others. I introduce the two crucial principles of leadership attraction: understanding your tribe and donning your game face. I discuss how attraction alone isn't sufficient – leadership demands resilience and strength - like enamel, leaders must remain steadfast and unwavering in their beliefs. I explain why consistency and conviction are paramount for fostering trust and respect among followers. Join me on what I hope is a thought-provoking foray into resilience and leadership.

  • episode 35 - the word is protract
    Sep 1 2024
    In episode 35 of "The Word is Leadership," we reflect on the word "protract" and its implications for decision-making processes in leadership. I focus on the concept of “decision making protraction” - the idea that extending time in decision-making can add value. I highlight the difference between delaying, procrastinating, and protracting. Borrowing from the theory of system 1 and system 2 thinking, I emphasize the need for deeper, more deliberate decision-making processes, particularly in situations of dilemmas where opposing values are at play. I argue that protracted decision-making involves extending the breadth of thinking to explore innovative solutions. By asking deeper questions focused on outcomes rather than processes, leaders can reconcile opposing viewpoints and avoid suboptimal compromises. Ultimately, I prompt leaders to consider whether they have efficient system 1 decision-making processes while maximising the benefits of protracted system 2 decisions.
