Episode 59: What's holding you back: What's holding you back from being your best? Many of us know deep down we could be so much better than we are today, but we struggle to do anything about it. Some of us struggle because we want everything we be perfect. Others struggle because of a narrative or belief system we tell ourselves, and some of us struggle to commit to ourselves because we think there's nothing we've managed to commit to, in our lives. Join Amrit as he explores what can hold us back and how we can overcome this. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 22: Evidence Based Practice - Dr Thomas Evans: How can we better use data across organisations to improve decision making and create a more evidence-based practice?

To help answer these questions and more, Dr Thomas Evans joins Amrit Sandhar to share his insights and thoughts. At the end of the podcast, Dr Thomas Evans refers to a scientific paper. The actual paper he meant to highlight was 'A Manifesto for Reproducible Science'. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 27: The Language of Leadership - David Marquet: We all know the impact of employee engagement and engaging leadership, but despite knowing this, it can still be difficult to let go of control and the engrained behaviours of being in charge.

Episode 21: Social Media, Diversity & Inclusion and the Impact on Society: Social media whilst created to bring us together, has had an almost opposing effect, by reinforcing views and dividing society, taking us away from the need to compromise and work together. The fantastic documentary on Netflix called The Social Dilemma, caused a discussion between Amrit and his daughter, exploring the impact of social media. What good does having an organisational Diversity and Inclusion agenda have, when outside of work, we are exposed to division? This is what this week's podcast explores, and raises the question of whether organisations could be a force for good, to help educate wider society on the positive impacts of diversity and inclusion. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 39: Normalising Mental Health: Despite 1 in 6 people potentially suffering a mental health problem last week, many people are still reluctant to talk about mental health, to accept it or to normalise it. Our brains are powerful computers and although we use powerful computers all the time at work, we seem to be more accepting of our laptops or PCs freezing, stalling or shutting down, than we do of our precious minds. Join Amrit as has shares his thoughts about Normalising Mental Health. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 25: Your Music Collection And Your Values: There's a reason why the music industry is so big.

But have you ever explored what your music might be telling you about your personal values? Join Amrit this week as he explores this having gone on a little journey of self-discovery for himself. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 34: Celebrating Workplace Memories: Do you get that daily ping on your phone reminding you of past memories saved in your photos? On Sunday morning, my family and I ended up going back over wonderful memories - the shared experiences we had together, but ones I had forgotten. It ended up being a lovely trip down memory lane, leaving me feeling great. How often do we have great experiences at work, only to be forgotten about months later? Even remembering the great colleagues we worked with, could have a profound impact on our current experiences of work. Join me (Amrit Sandhar), as I explore what organisations can do to create great shared experiences, and then remind us of those experiences, impacting how we feel about work today. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 26: Reflective Practice: Our productivity at work is often measured through how much we achieve, and rarely through the quality of our thinking. Without great thoughts, it's hard to achieve great work. We need to find a balance between thinking and doing but all too often, thinking takes a back seat, as we struggle to get everything we need to get done in a day. Join Amrit as he shares his own personal story of how he got into reflective practice and the impact it's had on him. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 12: Toxic Cultures and Ethical Leadership: We've recently heard in the news feedback from former British Olympic gymnasts in how they were treated - humiliated, belittled and bullied.

Join Amrit as he shares his thoughts on the need for leaders to become more aware of their personal values to stop these scandals that still keep being brought to light. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 95: Boosting Personal and Business Performance: Over the last few decades, many organisations have moved away from deliberate strategies to more emergent strategic approaches. This has allowed organisations to reman agile, but has this had a longer term impact, preventing organisations from achieving their full potential? Is VUCA the new norm, meaning we need to rethink our strategic approaches? And how do we go about improving our personal performances at work? Amrit refers back to history seeing what lessons we can learn from pre- and post Russian history to improve our personal and business performances in this week's podcast. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 94: Breaking the Caste - Creating Inclusive Workplaces: What drives discrimination? If the colour of someone's skin is the only reason, how did the holocaust happen with Nazi Germany creating a 'Master race'? What then do we make of the caste system in India, where some people born into castes are considered untouchable, where their very touch could pollute another? Is race a version of a systemic caste system where humanity has artificially created superior groups and inferior groups, putting in place structures to perpetuate this very notion? Despite all the efforts by organisations to create more inclusive workplaces through ED&B initiatives, could this be the reason we haven't seen an impact? Join Amrit as he explores this topic, driven by the film 'Origins', highlighting the book 'Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents', in this week's podcast. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 93: Flexible Working and the Hybrid Ceiling: Just when you thought companies had adapted to remote and hybrid working, Boots announces that all their employees must come back into the office five days a week. The reason? Because they felt remote and hybrid working was having an impact on their culture. Cultures are made up of the values we hold most dear. What are the values driving Boots? Are companies making decisions aligned to their values? And for those who choose to work remotely, what impact is this having on their chances of career development and promotion? Join Amrit for this week's podcast on Flexibility and the Hybrid Ceiling. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 92: Are You Communicating to Your Employees Like Investors?: Have you noticed how when companies have had a fantastic financial performance, they share the great news, but then tell employees they cannot invest in any additional resources because they just don't have the budgets? It leaves employees confused about the decisions being made, and questioning where all the money is going to? Leaders are working in a different time zone to employees, and if this isn't taking into account, it can cause disengagement, rather than driving engagement.

Episode 91: Leadership - Power and Hypocrisy: Is it inevitable that power will corrupt? Is this something we need to accept as the frailty of the human condition, that as soon as we achieve powerful positions, corruption is inevitable, irrespective of who you are and your benevolent intentions? Whilst power tends to corrupt, could power attract those with pathological tendencies acting like a magnet, only enhancing and magnifying what already existed in those people? What can companies do to protect those positions of power from those looking to get drunk on power?

Episode 90: Values, Identity and Our Best Performance: How much does your reputation matter to you? Obviously, we don't want people around us saying horrible things about us, but for some people, that can matter far more than for others. How important is reputation to those best performers? What role does having a clearly defined identity play in helping performance? It turns out, quite a lot. Our Values and Identity play a pivotal role based on the experiences of authors of a new book 'Learned Excellence', findings we can all apply to improve our own performance. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 89: Are Your Employees Living in Poverty?: Would you know if your employees were living in poverty? What signs would you see? Would a drop in performance towards the end of the month be something you would ever associate with poverty, questioning whether some people are rationing food because they have no more money? This might sound extreme, but with the findings from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation highlighting how millions of employees are living in poverty, what does this mean to the role of the employer?

Episode 88: the Post Office Scandal - What can we learn?: Many of us will have watched the documentary called 'Mr Bates vs The Post Office', which showed the way sub-postmasters were treated after the roll-out of a new computer system which started to show hundred of sub-postmasters having huge gaps in their takings. Instead of questioning the system, the default of the senior leadership team was to blame their people. Not just blame, but to pursue criminal prosecutions and convictions, which were based on errors. Lives were wreaked, lives were lost, yet no one has been held to account. What can we learn from The Post Office scandal? Join Amrit for this week's podcast as he shares his thoughts. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 87: Stop Doubting Yourself - Imposter Phenomenon: Despite all the experience you have across your career, do you find you doubting yourself? Do you suffer from Imposter Syndrome?

How can we overcome this and what could we do to improve how we feel? Join Amrit as he explores this in this week's podcast. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 86: The Value of Work is the Value We Give it: How often do you sit there on Sunday night thinking 'I really don't want to go to work tomorrow'? As winter draws closer, the thought of work on a Monday morning may fill some with dread. But whilst most of us think work is a means to an end - if we could find another way of earning a living, we would, could work mean something completely different? What if work just happened to be an avenue for you to positively touch the lives of the people you come into contact with? How would this change how you thought about work?

Episode 84: Developing Leadership Open-Mindedness: Have you ever been accused of flip-flopping? When we think of leaders, we often have images of strong, charismatic individuals who are clear visionaries, with the ability to immediately know where to go and how to get there. Whilst this applies to some very exceptional people, the world is full of great leaders who are more open-minded. When being open-minded is a great predictor of workplace success, engagement and innovation, isn't it more important that we focus on developing this critical skill?

Episode 83: Embracing Personal Uncertainty and Change Whilst Being Our Best at Work: How is your home life? Perfect and all unfolding the way you planned it out? I suspect not. Whilst there's a huge focus on employee experiences and employee engagement, we can often forget the human beings experiencing life outside of work, trying to cope with the uncertainty life throws at us, and the constant change we are having to deal with. This week, Amrit shares his own challenges over the summer that made him reflect on how hard we can be on ourselves, trying to control things we cannot, whilst feeling guilty about not being our best at work.

Episode 82: Stop Blaming Gen Z: How many times have you heard the word 'entitled' when people describe Gen Z employees? What's so different about this generation than any other, that they can't seem to handle work? Well, maybe there's nothing wrong with them, and it's our work we need to fix. How supportive are our workplaces to those aged 18-24 years? Have we got lazy with job descriptions and recruiting the right fit, only to use Gen Z as our scapegoats?

Episode 81: Challenges of Promoting from Within: Many organisations are focused on promoting from within and whilst there are huge benefits, promoting someone to manage the team they were part of can be a huge challenge. The balance of still being friends, whilst managing performance can in itself cause problems and damage the very trust that underpinned those relationships. What can organisations do to better support newly promoted colleagues who are now managing the team they were part of?

Episode 78: Extraordinary People creating Extraordinary Companies: Would you describe yourself as extraordinary? Most of us would have an immediate reaction of 'absolutely not!. But what if we were all extraordinary, but we just hadn't taken enough time to see it, appreciate it, acknowledge it?

And as leaders and managers, if we cannot see the extraordinary in the people around us, how could we ever create remarkable companies?

Episode 75: Valuing You: When was the last time you indulged in time for you?

Episode 72: Learned Hopefulness: During challenging times, it's easy to get caught up thinking about worst-case scenarios and all that could go wrong. Whilst we might do this to protect ourselves, we can get into a habit of learned helplessness - resigned to the situations we find ourselves in. What if we were to focus on learned hopefulness?
