  • The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) has been our favourite personality profiling tool since we first became accredited facilitators more than 20 years ago.

    Other profiling tools have come and gone as ‘flavour of the month’ over the years, many of which are simplified versions of the MBTI, but the MBTI itself is the tool we are most often asked to use, and with very good reason,

    The wisdom behind it is timeless and the applications endless, and no matter how many times we deliver our MBTI workshops, they never fail to deliver life-changing insights to course participants.

    But how many organisations or participants get value from their MBTI profiles on an ongoing basis? How many people or teams review their profile regularly for insights as their career or organisation progresses?

    Most people give their MBTI profile consideration based on their circumstances at the time they took their test, but as circumstances change, e.g. a promotion happens, new team members arrive, the demands on the team change, etc, they might only give a fleeting thought to their MBTI profile (if at all), and how that might be relevant to the change,

    In this episode, we explore ways in which you can squeeze more value out of your team’s MBTI profiles in the months and years after first having the profiles done. With very little effort, and with big rewards, the MBTI can be the ‘gift that keeps on giving’ to you and your team.


    Episode Highlights:

    02:00 Exploring the Value of MBTI in Teams05:01 Utilizing MBTI for Individual and Team Development09:14 MBTI's Role in Organisational Dynamics11:50 Diving Deeper with Myers Briggs Step Two16:51 Leveraging the Myers Briggs Team Report18:29 The Universality and Practicality of Myers Briggs19:16 Encouragement to Engage with MBTI

  • For many years now, we’ve been using the Change Curve model, created by John Fisher, a constructivist, psychologist, and coach. It’s a powerful tool for helping people navigate the different stages of organisational change.

    We were thrilled to be able to speak with John directly on the podcast and to discuss the application of the Change Curve in leadership programs, the emotional journey individuals go through during change, and strategies for effective change management.

    John emphasised the importance of communication, trust, and understanding individual motivations in navigating change.

    We shared our experiences with using the Change Curve in our work and discussed the impact of COVID-19 on organisations transitioning to remote work.

  • In 2014 we began working with Ian Perkins, CEO of lawlab, which, at the time, was a small and growing conveyancing firm.

    We’ve worked with him every year since, and have helped him expand the business to 50 staff nationwide. Ian was kind enough to jump on a call with me to discuss their growth, and the role People Leaders has had in building his team over the years.

    We discussed the focus on team leadership, cultural change, and the importance of staff retention and effective leadership.

    We hope it gives you some insights into what might be possible if we were to work with you and your team. Whether you have two staff, two hundred staff, or two thousand staff, the principles that we apply are universal, and we’d love the opportunity to discuss what your needs might be.

  • Our focus for this year for our content is going to be small and medium sized organisations (SMEs), specifically, how to create high-performing teams. We're also creating programs that cater for SMEs. Watch this space for details...

    There is a very different dynamic for small and medium businesses than there is with larger organisations, particularly when the owner is the leader of the business. Often these owners are what we would call "accidental leaders," meaning they didn't specifically set out to become a people leader as such, but it's come about as a natural consequence of the success of their business.

    They can, of course, still be outstanding leaders, but can sometimes need a bit of extra help, particularly when it comes to creating their own leadership team, and developing a culture that doesn't revolve around the owner making all the decisions.

    So, as you can imagine, we'll have a lot to talk about, and have kicked it off already with our first podcast episode: Elevating Team Engagement and Performance for Small to Medium Businesses

    Join us on this episode for insights that are sure to become a pivotal part of your leadership toolkit.

  • Today’s topic of choice is one we have found people leaders really struggle with, and can really open up so many opportunities for them: delegation.

    In coaching or workshops, we often hear managers say, "Yes, but I'm so busy, surely I can't push any more work down on to the people that report to me." Our answer is simply, “Ask, you might be surprised by the response”.If it's the right kind of work and is something your team is interested in or think it may help with their growth and development, they’ll likely say yes. Rarely do people say no, so managers shouldn’t use that as an excuse.

    It's important not to assume, especially as a people leader, because there are so many benefits of delegating.

    Episode Highlights:

    The main reason managers don’t delegate - fear and a lack of trustLeading rather than managing - delegating tasks for development opportunitiesAccountability vs responsibility - understanding the difference when delegatingThe dos and don’ts - knowing which tasks are OK to delegate to others and which tasks should be always done by youHow to decide what to delegate and who to assign the task toThe 5 questions to ask when preparing to delegate: a suitability indexUsing our delegating template

  • Leaders often have good intentions and great ideas, even great visions, for themselves but often they don’t succeed in bringing those intentions to fruition.

    This is not exclusive to leaders of course, but the result of a leader falling short of their potential, is that their team can often be affected as well.

    In this interview, with Jenna Holloway, Jan discusses the impact of limiting beliefs on our performance. The underlying cause of limiting beliefs, how they play out in day-to-day life, and what we can do about them to stop them limiting our potential.

    Listen closely, especially to the bits about non-judgment and self awareness. And let us know if this episode hits the spot with you or if it gives you food for thought.

  • One of the qualities that separates leaders from managers is self awareness.

    A manager with low levels of self awareness is unlikely to bring out the best in themselves, let alone their team. Whereas a leader with high levels of self awareness, is going to naturally develop the skills needed to bring out the best in the people working with them.

    They will be more likely to display the humility, the compassion, and the authenticity that people leadership requires.

    Many leaders only develop their self awareness either by chance or by professional development that includes a component of self-awareness training within it.

    One of the most underrated ways of developing self awareness is through leadership journaling. And while a first reaction might be to think, “I simply do not have the time for a luxury like journaling,” we encourage you to think again.

    The reflective nature of journaling is such that you will become aware of ineffective behaviours and habits that are reducing your effectiveness as a leader. In other words, instead of exhausting yourself through non-supportive behaviours and actions, you’ll enliven yourself through behaviours and actions that are on point.

    The bottom line is, deep leadership starts with self leadership, and self leadership starts with self awareness.

    Enjoy the episode and remember to download the People Leaders Toolkit from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store so you can start becoming a more effective leader today.

  • One of the biggest mistakes we see in the leadership field is promoting someone above their natural level of leadership.

    For example, someone who is an outstanding performer on your sales team, might not necessarily excel as a sales manager. Yet many organisations promote based on technical performance rather than their people leadership potential.

    This shows up in the stats, with 60% of new leaders evaluated as underperfomers in their new leadership role.

    To make matters worse, often new leaders are thrust into their role without the support they need to perform at their best.

    In this episode, we share five signs to look for when looking for leadership potential in your team, the necessary people leadership and performance skills to look out for, and how you can best support your new leaders to maximise the chances of success.

    It’s a short episode but it has lots of value packed in it, so be sure to have a notepad handy.
