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? Unlike academic research, where variables can be strictly controlled, our work places are not laboratories. It can therefore be difficult to measure concepts such as return on investment. 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 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 13: Innovative Cultures - Karen Bates HRD BrewDog: Whilst COVID has brought with it huge challenges, forcing organisations to rethink their strategy, offering and ways of working, it has resulted in innovation. But this hasn't happened in the same way across all organisations. What is it about those cultures that adapt and innovate? What makes them different to others? BrewDog has been a great example of this and Karen Bates, the HR Director of BrewDog joins Amrit to discuss innovative cultures. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 33: Organisational Culture in a Remote World: What happens to our organisational cultures when so many people are now working remotely? Workplaces are the shared experiences of people at work, so what happens to the organisational identity with such a shift in culture? These are the questions Dr Andrew Marcinko helps Amrit explore as we question how work cultures adapt to a new world of work. Leaders need to be aware of the Social Identity Theory and consider what impact hybrid or remote working has on their organisation and steps they can take to maintain their culture or adapt it to the new world of work. 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. This, combined with the recent news of how clothes have been manufactured in Leicester, and in light of the 'Me Too' movement and Black Lives Matter, raises the question of how people are being mistreated in this day and age. 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 29: Challenging Beliefs: In a world that seems to be more divided than ever, one has to question how we've managed to become so intolerant to even willing to listen to the views of opposing beliefs. What are beliefs? Are they so clear as to be 'wrong' or 'right'? How did the ancient philosophers seek to make sense of the beliefs of others? How would they have achieved this if they had a view that one belief was 'right' making the other 'wrong'? This is the topic of this week's podcast - making sense of opposing beliefs to understand others better. by Engaging People, Powering Companies - The Leadership Podcast

Episode 36: The Challenge of Moving on from our Mistakes: Do you ever find yourself consumed with the emotions of past mistakes? Mistakes make us even better, but despite all the wise quotes, when they occur, we can't help feel angry and frustrated with ourselves, even when years later, we see how valuable they were for us, we can't seem to let go of the anguish of making mistakes. This challenge we all face raises the question of how we go about creating learning cultures, when we struggle to overcome the judgement of mistakes. Join Amrit as he explores why mistakes are so difficult to overcome. 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 23: The Power of Beliefs During Huge Uncertainty: How is it that some entrepreneurs have created companies during the middle of this pandemic? Did they not get the message that the economy is on its knees and things are bad? Whilst economic data can paint a bad picture, it doesn't change a compelling vision, driven from powerful beliefs. Human beings have the ability to bring beliefs to life, even in challenging times. Join Amrit this week as he shares he thoughts on the power of beliefs and the impact leaders can create in having a strong organisational identity. 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?

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

As winter draws closer, the thought of work on a Monday morning may fill some with dread.

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.

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.

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.
