In meetings, it’s tempting to pay attention to the loud, confident voices. However, the deep thinkers who hold back often have the key to unlock your problem and move forward. It’s not just a question of listening, it’s listening for the right things from the right people.

⛔️ STOP scheduling back to back meetings! ✋ Science now proves that it is bad for our stress levels and contributes to burnout. Put breaks in between meetings. Your health and productivity will be boosted. Ban back to back meetings in your organisation. ❌

A highly dysfunctional team sees other roles and departments within the same organisation as not part of the team. A BRILLIANT team sees other roles and departments within the same organisation as part of the team. This shift in mindset is everything for leadership and culture.
