Pausephobia - When “I Don’t Know Yet” Feels Too Risky
A difficult question lands and there is a perfectly reasonable option available: pause, think and say, “I need to check.” But sometimes leadership decides that an immediate answer feels more competent, even when the information is not actually there yet. In this episode of Leadruption, Emma Last...

Silenceensus - When Nobody Objects, So We Assume Everybody Agrees
The proposal has been presented. There are two minutes left. The leader asks, “Any concerns?” One person is still processing, another is deciding whether it is safe to speak, and somebody else has just found the unmute button. Excellent. Apparently, everyone agrees. In this episode of…

Feedblacklash “Please Be Honest”… Just Not Like That
Have you ever asked someone for completely honest feedback, then immediately started explaining why they’ve got it wrong? We say we want honesty, but sometimes what we really want is reassurance delivered in the shape of feedback. In this episode of Leadruption, Emma Last explores Feedblacklash,...

Confrontcrastination: The Conversation Everyone’s Having Except You
There’s a difficult conversation you know you need to have. You’ve thought about it, rehearsed it, maybe drafted the message six times, and possibly discussed it with everyone except the actual person involved. Welcome to Confrontcrastination, where avoiding the conversation doesn’t make the...

The Say-Do Gap vs The Say-D’oh Gap: Why Good Leaders Still Create Poor Experiences
You can be a good leader, care deeply about people and still create an experience you never intended. That’s the uncomfortable territory between what we say, what we believe we do, and what other people actually experience. In this first episode of Leadruption, Emma Last explores the Say–Do Gap,...
