How a UK tech leader scaled from 35 to 100+ employees while shifting from a “start-up” mindset to a mature, high-performance culture.
Psychological safety, what it really means to create it, and how easy it is for good intentions to land as pressure instead of support.
I unpack the difference between responsibility and accountability, why psychological safety matters so much, and how leaders can accidentally kill accountability through micromanaging, vague expectations or punishing mistakes.
“Bring your whole self to work” is one of those phrases that sounds plausible until you stop and really think about it.
I’m joined by Leah Boxell, CEO and founder of Enable Lists, for a conversation about legacy, impact and the people who shape us often without realising just how much they have done.
