How Do We Build 21st Century Business Skills?

Tim Kastelle

“How do you teach people to be more comfortable with ambiguity?” That was the question from the person in charge of Talent for a big bank at a workshop we ran with them recently at UQ.

Stephen Shapiro

I am having to minimise contact with my grieving, narcissistic, abusive mother who has just lost her husband (second time in her life); as my support for her so far has left me a nervous, shamed, wretched wreck, with family members turning on me as well.

Innovation Launchpads – The path to connection

Wazoku

The path to creation is through collaboration. That’s the yoga teacher in me speaking, but it’s true and most innovators will subscribe to this perspective. The more we work together, the more able we are to initiate bigger change. Notably, social innovation and making a positive impact beyond the commercial four walls we work within, let’s face it, is what really matters.

Should Leaders Speak Last in Meetings?

Michael Roberto

Canadian enterpreneur Cameron Herold argues in this article in the Globe and Mail that leaders should speak last in meetings. He writes, When you have quieter, more reserved people in a meeting, the best thing you can do as the leader is hold your ideas back until the end. Too often, leaders offer their ideas first. But people don't become confident, or grow as leaders, by listening to what you have to say.
