This weeks pick from the Working Week archives airs a lively conversation with coach and mentor, Sean Weafer, someone who believes that it is time to put an end to “suit” thinking and embrace “rebel” thinking.
Sean is (among many others things), a founder member and an Honorary Vice President of the Association for Coaching, based in London. He is currently working on a new book, Rebel in a Business Suit.
The old ways of business leadership are changing, Seam explains, and leaders need help. We are moving away from the old age energies (competition, dominance, power through intimidation or subjugation, the cult of the ‘self’) which have served to develop our physical and mental powers through technology to a new age of energies (connection, co-operation, power through collaboration and the global community) which are about our growth as individuals and communities.
This week, we’re heading back into the Working Week archives to air again some of Wayne’s best interviews of the past couple of years. First out of the hat is a discussion with best-selling author and renowned executive coach, Marshall Goldsmith, exploring why many business leaders find it so difficult to hand over the baton to their successor
This week, Wayne talks to Neela Bettridge, executive coach and co-founder of consultancy Article13 about the ways organisations can implement and align corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies that have a positive impact on the bottom line as well as on their broader innovation efforts.
What Marshall describes as “Mojo” is the moment when we feel we’re on a roll and firing on all cylinders. When we’re moving forward, making progress and achieving our goals. Sports people call this being “in the zone;” others describe it as “flow.”
But Mojo also plays a vital role in our pursuit of happiness and meaning because it is about achieving two simple goals: loving what we do and showing it. And it becomes apparent when the positive feelings toward what we are doing come from inside us and are evident for others to see.
So if more Mojo equals more happiness, how can you enhance it if you haven’t got enough of it? Listen on to find out.
