Joining Anthony McDonnell to answer some of these questions are Olive McCarthy, Director of the Centre for Co-operative Studies at UCC, Yvonne Cooney, Head of Sustainability, Ornua, and John Curran, Head of Sustainability for Musgrave.

While society lauds whistleblowers for their bravery and integrity, the truth is that, despite protective legislation, whistleblowing is still a fraught experience often ruining lives and careers.
Why is that and how can society, organisations and businesses ensure that whistleblowing can be more accepted and does not always have to address deep-seated infrastructural change?
These are just some of the fascinating questions that Kate Kenny, Professor of Business and Society at NUI Galway, and one of the foremost experts on whistleblowing, answered on this latest episode of Insights, the CUBS UCC podcast.
For more on this topic, Prof. Kenny’s books include: Whistleblowing: Toward a New Theory (Harvard University Press, 2019) and The Whistleblowing Guide: Speak Up Arrangements, Challenges and Best Practices (Wiley, 2019).

While the environment is the most important issue affecting our lives, and we may decry harmful policies of governments and multi-nationals, what about our own consumer lives and how does our daily behaviour influence the future of the planet?
These are the questions being asked by Dr. Stephen Onakuse, a lecturer in food business and development at UCC who believes we need to look more at our own individual behaviours and actions to best influence consumption and sustainability.

Dr. Jane Bourke joins Anthony McDonnell on this episode of Insights, to explain why Irish small businesses are content to keep their business to their current scale, with only 1 in 4 looking to grow into a national or international business.
Jane co-authored the study – Micro-Business Report in Ireland – which surveyed 1,500 Irish micro-businesses to identify their ambition, innovation and adoption of digital technology.
She discusses the study's findings, the importance of micro-businesses in Ireland, why they don't want to scale, and how government policy runs counter to the ambitions of these business owners.

The latest episode of Insights, the CUBS UCC podcast, is focusing on the topic of leadership and the importance of respect for relationships in work. More recent ideas about leadership emphasise the importance of relationships as central to leadership effects. This suggests that the impact of leadership arises from the nature and characteristics of specific relationships that leaders and followers share.
Professor Nicholas Clarke from EADA Business School, Barcelona was speaking recently at the Human Resource Research Centre (HRRC) In partnership with the Irish Institute for Training & Development about this topic.
In this lecture Nicholas draws upon research over the past 10 years to argue that respect lays at the core of leadership and is critical for achieving positive outcomes in organisations beyond simply better employee performance. Nicholas will examine how the concept of mutuality has received minimal attention in research both within the field of leadership as well as HRM more broadly, yet is a critical aspect of the leadership relationship and the place of respect within it.
The lectures brings together key findings from Nicholas’ own research over the past 5 years in this area to highlight why mutuality in respect matters and how it comes about in leadership relationships. The lecture concludes by exploring its potential implications for enabling organisations to become more sustainable and socially responsive to meet the challenges of today’s business environment.
