In Conversation - Gayle Smerdon "Can't we just do ONE THING?"

“And the current book, which is called do one thing and do one thing deep is about organizations and how we can just be more effective as an organization when we all understand what our purpose is, what the direction is that we are heading, and the part that we play in that.” “Making sure that they're recognising people who are doing the one thing well and holding others to account who aren't particularly in their leadership teams. Yeah, so rewarding and recognising and celebrating what's happened, so that everyone can see, you know, that the journey has been one worth taking.”  TIME STAMP SUMMARY01:09 “Can’t we just do one thing?”06:26 Fitting into organizations the right way12:32 Needing a bit of certainty during these times17:21 Creating a sense of purpose Where to find Gayle Smerdon?Website                               https://www.gaylesmerdon.com/ LinkedIn                               https://www.linkedin.com/in/gayle-smerdon  Who is Gayle Smerdon?Gayle Smerdon, PhD, is a sociologist and workplace culture expert who believes that given the right environment, people have immense capability waiting to be revealed. Gayle works with curious and committed individuals, leaders, and teams, often in government and not-for-profit organisations, to identify and achieve ONE THING that will drive their success. The author of two books, "Do ONE THING and do it deep: how to focus and energise your organisation" and "iDevelop: take charge of your professional development by becoming a conscious learner", Gayle runs her own practice from Melbourne, speaking, coaching, and writing.
