The Social Factor - The Science Behind the Future of Effective People Leadership
Today’s first episode for 2024 is a little different. I recently launched my White Paper – The Social Factor – The Science Behind the Future of Effective People Leadership and today I present it to you in audio format, as some people prefer to listen than to read.
The White paper introduces you, the listener, to the concept of Social Leadership. It opens with the big picture and the challenges faced by todays leaders, examples being the gap between what leaders believe that employees want and what they really want and need. We explore the myriad demands of today's leader and the potential cost, mentally and emotionally.
We cover the people leadership journey - 'from Crisis to Conviction' and why the focus needs to be on developing leaders both formally and informally.
The Changing Face of Leadership tracks leadership Development over the ages and what 21st Century leadership looks like today in the Social Age.
The White Paper then introduces you to the concept of Social Leadership and the social cognitive neuroscience underpinning this approach.
The SOCIAL Model of Core Needs is presented in terms of elements, scope, detail and a detailed description of each element; how the absence of these needs can create a 'threat' response, and ways we can reduce this to create 'reward' responses in our people (the concept of threat and reward and also explained).
We each have a unique 'point in time' hierarchy of needs and this is explained in the paper, together with applications of the model and a case study of how it is being used by a global engineering consultancy.
Finally we look at balancing the focus on people and performance and the consequences of focusing too much or too little on one or the other.

The Essence of Inclusion in Leadership - a Conversation with Toby Mildon
Episode 39 of the Rawthentic Leadership Podcast is an insightful exploration into the world of Diversity and Inclusion in leadership, with a focus on Inclusion.
My guest is D&I consultant Toby Mildon, who I worked with when he was working at the BBC. Our conversation has many levels of depth and covers a broad area, which makes it the perfect resource for any manager or leader wanting to get to grips with this critically important topic and also hear from Toby’s lived experience.
Here are some highlights from our conversation:-
How Toby ‘fell’ into D&I
The 10/90 Iceberg analogy
The scope of diversity
Micro aggressions and micro inequities – what’s the difference?
Why some people don’t challenge micro-inequities
Representation unpacked
The criticality of representation (in leadership and throughout)
Fear of causing offence and its impact
Diversity washing a.k.a. window dressing – the rhetoric gap
Calling out and calling in – what’s the difference?
The ‘where D&I sits in the business’ conundrum
One of the first questions Toby asks when consulting with new clients and the critical follow up question
Essential elements to achieve ‘the golden standard’
The difference between equity and equality
Integrating D&I into ‘the way we do business – and a clear comparison
The hierarchy, chronology and priorities of D&I
