The Cost of Meetings...

Gina Gardiner 29 Jan 2020 Leadership 0 comments

Just come out of yet *another* meeting, got two more to attend today before you can even begin to get on with your work? Let's think about the cost of the meetings you attend during your working week. It's a relatively simple equation.

How's Your Vision?

Gina Gardiner 28 Jan 2020 Leadership 0 comments

Does your company or department have a compelling strategic vision? Does it actively support your ongoing development? Who owns it? How do you know? Analyse any successful organisation to determine what makes it “good” and you are bound to find a strong sense of purpose and direction.

Why Not Just Hibernate in January to become a Better Leader/Person?

Gina Gardiner 17 Jan 2020 Over doing it 0 comments

We are just past the middle of January – a month that is heavily-laden with lots of expectations that we do a review of our year - a look back that can maybe involve us confronting some difficult times and issues. And, having completed this analysis, there is the expectation to craft a new vision of who we will become in the 12 months ahead of us, meaning more work of course. All of this traditional self-analysis and self-work comes straight after the hectic, and often fraught, festive ‘holiday’ period and, certainly in the northern hemisphere, when the weather it is at is most grey, dark, wet and freezing. The nights are still long, the days so short! I am wondering if it is the right time of year to do anything of a massive endeavour!
