The New P&L Business Book Review Club speaks to Owen Eastwood, author of ‘Belonging – The Ancient Code of Togetherness’

Today on The New P&L Business Book Review Club, sponsored by The Carroll Consultancy Group, we speak to renowned performance coach Owen Eastwood, author of ‘Belonging – The Ancient Code of Togetherness’ Owen is focused on building high performance cultures and teams and has worked with some of the most recognised teams and brands in the world including the England Football team, South African Cricket team, the British Olympic squad and NATO, as well as a number of leading global business brands Belonging considers the Māori concept of Whakapapa, which embodies our universal human need to belong and is a powerful spiritual belief that each of us is part of an unbroken and unbreakable chain of people who share a sacred identity and culture. Owen places the concept of Whakapapa at the heart of his approach to maximise a business’s and a team's performance. We discuss with Owen: - the essence of the Māori concept of Whakapapa - how Whakapapa forms a core foundation of Owen’s work - whether there is an optimal environment for performance - the chemical / biological / physical reactions that occur within the human mind and body when we feel we belong to a group - how you maintain culture and performance when new people come into teams or groups - who is ultimately responsible for recognising how a legacy and culture is evolving and acting as the guardian of it - how Owen ensures new entrants into a business or sports team understand the depth of commitment to Whakapapa or its origin story - how leaders ensure cultural commitment to purpose and evolution in the face of more immediate commercial and operational challenges Thank you once again to The Carroll Consultancy, our sponsors of The New P&L Business Book Review Club, The Carroll Consultancy is focused on dramatically developing people, performance and profits.
