Why UK Entrepreneurs Shouldn't Settle for Mediocrity

Talent is a scares resource, it comes at a premium and organisations are pulling out the stops to attract it. So what are you doing to attract talent, what reasons are you giving people to work for you rather than someone else?

Delivering change is one of the biggest challenges facing leaders. As leaders we recognise the benefits of change yet helping others to recognise these benefits can prove a significant challenge. Although it may sound extreme, pain is a great tool for helping people to tune into the benefits of change.

Change is often bound by an unwritten rule to change within the boundaries of our day to day lives. We accept a little change hear and there but resist change if it significantly disrupts our routines and rituals - 'change the fuel but not the way we consume or travel', 'change the bag but not the way we shop', 'change the way we offset our excesses but not the way we operate and behave'..................... Can we deliver a sustainable future without really changing - I have my doubts?! #netzero #sustaniability #changemanagement

It’s accepted that success is attributed to 5% strategy and 95% execution and that ‘madness’ is expecting different results from doing the same things, yet both principles are frequently ignored during the strategy development process. Compelling visions and stretching goal are created and talked about with great conviction yet the resources and strategies required to deliver rarely emerge. Why? Because developing ideas that are genuinely different is blooming hard! Most ideas, although presented in different ways, are mere evolutions of what’s gone before, they expect different results from doing the same things - they are madness! Because it's hard and because people feel the pressure to act, they accept mediocre ideas (that deep down they don’t have faith in). They fail to understand the problems that they are trying to address, they focus on the effects rather than the underlying causes and attempt to fix problems that people don’t care that much about.

Although we’re not suggesting the title of this blog is in direct relation (sorry both!) to the appointment of Michael Gove and Andy Haldane (and the provocative rebranding of Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to Department of Levelling Up Housing and Communities), these events combined certainly do feel like a catalyst (it’s certainly lit up the twittersphere!).
