Ep 25 - When Nobody Owns The Outcome (opens the original)
Read excerpt
with Alec Pearson. What happens when everyone follows the process, does exactly what they are supposed to do, and the problem still isn’t solved? That is where ownership gets interesting. In this episode Alec Pearson explores what happens when responsibility is spread across teams, functions and organisations, but nobody is truly accountable for the outcome. A recent experience with a serious mechanical failure brought the issue into sharp focus. Everyone involved appeared to have a role. Everyo
Ep 24 - When Everyone’s Right and Nothing Moves (opens the original)
Read excerpt
with Alec Pearson. What happens when everyone around the leadership table has a perfectly reasonable case and the business still can’t move? Sales wants growth. Finance wants to protect cash.

In Part 1, Alec and Calvin took apart the comfortable version of wellbeing - the fruit bowls, the tick-box initiatives - and named the warning signs leaders are so good at driving past. This time it gets personal. Because there's a harder question sitting underneath all of it: what's really happening to the high achiever who keeps pushing long after the tank is empty? When we feel stuck, the instinct is to work harder. Calvin has watched where that lead
Ep 21 - The Wellbeing Lie: Part 1 - Wellness Isn't Wellbeing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
with Alec Pearson and Dr Calvin Lightbody. Every organisation says it takes wellbeing seriously. The fruit bowl, the yoga session, the mindfulness app someone signed everyone up to. And yet the people carrying the most keep quietly running on empty. Not because the perks aren't pleasant, but because almost none of it touches the thing that's actually wearing them down. What if most of what your organisation calls wellbeing isn't wellbeing at all? There's a difference between wellness and wellbei
