Friction. Focus. Firepower: The Real Collaboration Code
|
Hey Reader Ever notice how in Star Wars, the best scenes aren’t the peaceful ones? (I was listening to 'Good Bad Billionaire' on BBC Sounds on Saturday about George Lucas and now can't get Star Wars out of my head! ;-) Same goes for teamwork. Real collaboration isn’t a group hug: it’s friction with purpose. That’s clarity being built in real time. If your team’s starting to sound a little too polite for it's own good - maybe it’s time for a little creative lightsaber work. New blog: [The Collaboration Code: Why People Aren’t Difficult, Just Different] Short read. Big spark. Go on- start a little (productive) trouble. Or if you prefer listen to this week's podcast "The Maverick's Survival Guide" And if you or any of your friends have been made redundant recently you'll want to listen next week - we have a 5 day mini series on the podcast called 'Out of Office (for now)'. It's also good for anyone who is having a "is this it' moment too. I'll send you a reminder on Monday just in case this is for you. Have a brilliant day! |

In fact, the more intensity you carry into a room, the less impact you often...
Hey Reader Spring is in the air, the daffodils are blooming and the sun has finally decided to make a guest appearance.People are suddenly smiling at bus stops like they’ve remembered they’re alive again. And every year around this time, I notice the shoots of 'newness' in work too. People start to look up from the day-to-day noise and realise: Something they’ve been tolerating suddenly feels a bit tired. An idea they parked months ago starts nudging them again. A conversation they’ve been...
Hey Reader We might have ghosted you, but we're back and we brought gifts. Not the kind wrapped in paper with a ribbon on - the useful kind - sharper ideas, a better podcast experience, practical tools from real client work, and a brand-new digital home that makes working and learning with us ridiculously easy. It's all very exciting. CONFESSION TIME This newsletter quietly took a break over Christmas with the good intention of picking it back up in January. And then January became… February....
