#213 Why this is a Money Problem, not a Training Problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the leadership problem you’re trying to solve is actually a money problem? In this bonus episode, Lesley Thomas explores why traditional leadership development may not address what financial pressure is doing to the decisions leaders make. While leadership programmes can improve communication, trust and collaboration, they may not touch the underlying relationship with money and risk that influences high-stakes decisions.

#212 The One Thing You've Never Measured in Your Business (opens the original)

Read excerpt
Why can a straightforward business decision take six months when everyone involved agrees it should happen? In this episode of Financial Judgement, Lesley Thomas walks through a real-world example of a leadership team that took six months to approve an opportunity that could reasonably have been decided in six weeks. Month by month, she shows how every delay had a perfectly valid reason, yet the decision gradually shifted from an active opportunity to an item that simply remained on the agenda.
