Workplace Culture

Following on from our previous coaching post, we’ve had a lot of great questions about M-Shaped Leaders. So, let’s dive deeper into this concept.

We often hear the question: “Why are your assessments so expensive?” It’s the business equivalent of ABBA’s “Money, Money, Money” playing on repeat. But the real question isn’t “Can we afford to assess?” It’s “Can we afford not to assess?”

As we navigate ever-evolving workplace, one question stands out: Do we need managers or leaders? Hamza suggests that new generations and knowledge workers yearn for leaders who inspire rather than
managers who control.

We’ve all been there. Performance reviews highlight areas for improvement, and we diligently focus on ‘fixing’ our weaknesses. While self-improvement is crucial, an overemphasis on our weaknesses can be detrimental.

At JP, we’ve spent considerable time scanning the leadership terrain, engaging with clients, and analysing emerging trends.

As we commemorate World Mental Health Day, it’s crucial to recognize the profound impact of emotional intelligence (EI) in fostering a mentally healthy workplace.

According to a recent GlobalForce workforce study, employees who are familiar with their company’s core values are significantly more likely to be engaged in their work.

Since the world of work is always in a state of flux, it is unsurprising that we are seeing shifts in expectations surrounding employee engagement.

In today’s competitive business landscape, organisations are increasingly recognising the value of diversity and inclusion. One critical aspect often overlooked is neurodiversity. Neurodivergent individuals, those with neurological differences such as ADHD, autism, or dyslexia, possess unique strengths that can significantly enhance workplace performance.
