Both leadership podcasts about managers and coaching are excellent. The post about remote work is also interesting. People are different, so are organisations. Leadership The future of work? “The manager as a therapist” [Podcast] - I think I used that line before. I am not sure if this is a good thing. Extras #24 - Building High-Performing Teams Through Coaching - with Steph Yiu [Podcast] - interesting stuff from Automatic. I would love to see that kind of support in all companies. ...

Good podcasts this week: about the Heisenberg principle, and the silencing of climate protesters in the UK.

Leadership Do bonuses actually make us work harder? [Podcast] - it is very tricky, and can go awfully wrong. The Hagakure #76: Why Are You Not Hiring Junior Developers? - Your juniors will be faster seniors than you expect. But AI is working against them. ...

The two leadership podcasts are good this week, both about trust. I also like the Vision Pro review. Leadership Trust and Inspire With Stephen M.R. Covey 6 | 5 [Podcast] - pretty good episode with a guest talking about trust. Jacob Morgan, 5x Best-Selling Author & Futurist [Podcast] - “Futurists” are always suspicious. His premise that being vulnerable without leading doesn’t help. ...
