Some really interesting insights & talking points from ⁦@JPDewing⁩ in the keynote at The Workplace Event #TWE2024 about #leadership, engagement, purpose, feedback 👇😊

I loved recording this episode with @donjuliobruno! His thoughts on mindset shifts are powerful and in a world still getting to grips with the 'Great Resignation', we need to learn how to redefine success and find fulfilment in both work and life. https://t.co/PSmh5uYfQ1

I had the privilege of chatting with @Sue_Fennessy, CEO of @WeAre8Official where she reveals what truly ignites her passion for change. 💡 She embraces the power of 'sunshine' to solve the biggest issues that we face today! https://t.co/a44OG1gGdS

Great to see a report that holds institutions accountable when it comes to tackling climate change - this time business schools. Businesses have the power to help solve the climate crisis, so shaping future investors and founders is imperative! https://t.co/BqxHX4IH1a

Debt collection... not an industry to get excited about! But I spoke to Jamie Waller, author of Unsexy Business, about what he did to change it. Listen to how he turned an industry on its head - and some remarkable stories & insights along the way! https://t.co/gRQ8J6IcEg

There are all sorts of tools for team productivity, but that's what they are - tools! They don't address micromanagement, only prioritisation. Empower teams by fostering objective clarity, personal freedom, and deep trust. I've found it's this formula that drives success!

My first ever podcast guest, and this one is special to me! Clive share his secrets to running great teams and how great teams are actually all about the individual… Be a coach, not just a manager! https://t.co/z0sfbA5K0H

I enjoyed reading this in the FT this week. The flip side of remote working is that younger team members get less contact time with mentors. We have a duty to allow people to work flexibly, but we also have a duty to nurture our next-gen talent! https://t.co/Aj4ghR5yOX

(4/4) 💡 Remember: If you want to grow – let go!

(3/4) How did I fix this? I focused on empowering people to make their own decisions and to collaborate with their teammates. I trust my people to make great decisions – I give them clarity and freedom to do so, and when they need me I’m here too.

(2/4) The number of unread emails in my inbox is actually directly correlated with my ineffectiveness. If i’m constantly fielding emails and meetings, fighting fires and scolding people, then I’m not growing my business or making the right decisions.

(1/4) 💭How many emails do you get a day? One big mistake leaders make is thinking the number of unread emails in their inbox is directly correlated to their importance in the business. This is NOT true, in fact it’s a symptom of a bad culture.

For parents, it's the dreaded summer holidays! But as business leaders, we should embrace flexible working all year round! There's no such thing as work-life balance - there's only life. So let's help people fit work around their all year round. What do you think?

Culture is the silver bullet! In @TechRoundUK this month - no matter how much @CloudfmUK is innovating and disrupting, we’ll always have a winning culture that’s people first at the centre of everything 💥 Read more:

What’s a Return on Commute & how is it measured? This @Forbes piece shows how companies are incentivising the return to offices. Nice ideas, but they need to be backed up by empowering people to choose how they work - that's what adds real value! https://t.co/5Qej48Rf42

From a leadership and business perspective, we should be careful to not get caught up in work that we forget about real, human connection. So let’s step back and reconnect, prioritise meaningful connection and look after our loved ones and our health too!

We've been talking a lot about mental health of late and it's highlighted that loneliness is as harmful as smoking for overall health - and people around you could be suffering without anyone even realising. Whether at work or at home, remember to reach out to those around you!

@CloudfmUK (4/4) To me this is a huge disconnect and it got me thinking - is the real problem data literacy levels in our business leaders and workforce today? Let me know your thought!

@CloudfmUK (3/4) It shows 83% of #businessleaders say data should make decisions easier, but 86% said that data makes them less confident about decisions. 91% of businesses say the volume of data has limited their success, and 72% say it has stopped them from making any decision at all!
