Most of us want a fair and equitable workplace.

But how can we achieve it? Especially when a lot of the bad habits stopping us are locked behind the proverbial door of our unconscious minds.

Like all complicated things in life, fighting unconscious bias can become a lot less daunting when you break it down into manageable and actionable steps. And first up, as always, is educating yourself.

So join us as we give you a rundown of what unconscious bias is, as well as the different types that are common in today’s workplace.

The iron fist. We’ve all witnessed it.

Be it history, fiction or everyday life, tyrants are truly fascinating creatures. That is until you have to work for one…

But of course, there’s a name for that style of leadership – and it’s known as autocratic. But what exactly does that mean? And are autocratic leaders truly evil in every form?

If you’ve landed on this article, then you’ve probably heard the term “workplace wellbeing” getting thrown about. It is - after all - on track to being one of this decade’s biggest buzzwords (obviously behind ChatGPT and Elon Musk).

But what does it actually mean? And how does it apply to you and your work life? Don't worry, dear reader, prepare to be enlightened!

But first things first, let's define what workplace wellbeing actually is.

It goes without saying that we all want to be treated equally and be given the same opportunities. Although when you take a look at the real world, especially the world of business, that sentiment doesn’t seem quite so universal.

So what’s the holdup?! Why aren’t businesses still doing the bare minimum? There are no excuses whatsoever (as you’re about to see) for why workplaces should be bereft of gender diversity.

But before we take a look at the benefits of gender diversity in the workplace (backed up with stats and research), let’s make sure we’re all on the same page…

The term ‘coaching leadership’ does feel like a pleonasm – “the use of more words than are needed to express a meaning” (learn something every day). It is, in fact, a different concept from coaching, albeit very similar.

So let’s take a look at what coaching leadership means, its characteristics, history and some examples. And, of course, whether it’s worth your time.

Is feedforward a new buzzword that’s more buzz than word? Or is it an entirely new way to handle and give effective feedback?

Apologies for stating the obvious, but the pandemic changed a lot of things.

None more so than the business world. What once pulled the strings of our everyday lives, has now been relegated to a small laptop at home.

While remote working has been a blast for most, it’s been a real drag on others. Some remote workers have been experiencing loneliness, weakened social ties and feelings of isolation. Going into an empty office doesn’t offer much respite from these feelings - unless you enjoy the company of tumbleweeds.

One of the things we can take solace in during these not-so-happy times is that – generationally – we’re taking less s#!t from our jobs.

There was once a time when things such as weekends off and working less than 8 hours a day was considered crazy talk.

But as we head further into the 21st century, the next big business challenges will be cutting out the toxicity that is still rife in our day-to-day work life.

There is a dizzying number of ways you can lead your business. And over the years, people who have studied nothing but leadership theory have started putting handy labels on all of them.

While there are an infinite ways to approach leadership, here are the styles we’ll be looking at: Charismatic, Transformational, Transactional, Laissez-faire, Autocratic, Pacesetting and Coaching.

So, join me as I explore 7 different leadership styles from a business point of view, and what industries they work best in.

I get it - not many people want to be seen as a negative person. Many of us want to see our actions have a positive impact on the people we interact with and care about.

But this sense of thinking can come back round to bite us in the arse. Especially when it comes to work.

So, to help you walk the fine line between ‘Negative Nancy’ and ‘Pushover Pete’, here is an article on how you can stop yourself being a people-pleaser (at home and at work).

But first, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page with this simple question…

We’re at an age now where four different generations find themselves working together (Baby Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z). This generational gap can be tough to bridge, but the answer may lie in reverse mentoring.

So, join us as we explore the topic of reverse mentoring, including what it means, where the idea came from, and tips for creating your own reverse mentoring programme.
