Episode Description

In this episode, James Lawther and Jimmy Barber are joined by leadership development guru Frank Devine. Frank shares insights about which methods of leadership development work and which don't.

After a long and varied career within HR working with some of the best organisations, people and academic research, Frank shares what he has learnt testing different "best practices".

His research led him to develop the Cathedral Model (check out this link or visit the episode web page to see a diagram). It emphasises skills like recognition, coaching, and constructive feedback. We also discuss the pitfalls of traditional reward systems and the importance of creating a culture from the bottom up.

Tune in for practical strategies to enhance your team's performance and drive organisational success. You can also hear James and Jimmy's latest successes... a daughter landing a job and a punter landing tickets for the FA Cup semi-final—no prizes for guessing which is which.
