From May 2017, Malcolm and I, along with our Global Leadership Fellows, have started bringing together networks of like-minded leaders to collectively make a difference across the world. We’re doing this through our global initative: ‘Tables of Ten’. At a time of widespread disconnect, lack of inclusion, separatism, competition and greed, we are inviting authentic and [...]
We've recently been working with a very profitable organisation that is now ‘on the market’. In preparing for the sale process, the business is organising itself in the usual way – clarifying assets, revenue, profitability, etc. – to assist potential purchasers with their financial due diligence. However this organisation is going a step further. They [...]
In our conversations with others about the concept of the ‘line of choice’, we often describe ‘below the line’ as a place we go to in order to stay or feel safe in difficult situations. Let’s look at an example to further explain this. Imagine a colleague at work comes up to you in a [...]
In mid-October 2016, over 500 representatives of nearly 300 ‘B Corps’ from 19 countries converged on Philadelphia for three days of service, collaboration, and celebration. The theme of the three days – ‘Towards an Inclusive Economy’ – provided each of us with the challenge to understand what this actually means for us and our organisations [...]

There seems to be an increasing number of articles and discussions around the benefits and successes mindfulness can bring – personally, professionally and from an organizational perspective. Leadership mindfulness is finally beginning to get traction. The world [...]
Reflect on the last time you went to ‘delegate’ a task but didn’t. What were you thinking as you made that decision? Was it: ‘It is easier to do it myself’, ‘If I want it done properly I need to do it myself’ or ‘No one else knows how to do it, so I will [...]
In 2014, more than 1,500 employees from Germany, Australia, China, India, Mexico and the United States were surveyed by Catalyst on ‘inclusion at work’. The study, reported by Forbes, revealed that employees, both men and women, who felt included at work were more likely to suggest new product ideas and ways of getting work done. [...]
