As the calendar turns to December and the march to the end of 2022 gathers pace, the final Leadership Update of the year is dedicated to our workplace relationships and the conversations that sustain and nurture them.
Because while the end of the year might signal time to review the successes and achievements of the year, are people in the right place mentally to have those conversations? Equally, can you be sure that a new mental health and well-being initiative is enough to alleviate the workplace pressures people are under? Or do we need to pay more attention to the simple, everyday interactions and conversations that do so much to build strong, enduring relationships?
Join Andy and Juliet as they chat about the themes emerging from this month’s Leadership Update including conversations and retros, the benefit of involving the whole team in goal setting and how much we can still learn about leadership from the late Queen Elizabeth II.
We hope you enjoy the final Leadership Update of the year, and that you’ll join us for more in 2023.

The November 2022 leadership update is dedicated to hybrid working. Andy (in Melbourne) and Juliet (in Yorkshire) draw on LIW’s experience of hybrid and remote working with its 150 clients, near on 100 employees and associates spread across 20 countries to explore the points raised in a selection of articles on the list. Wherever you are in the hybrid conversation, it’s worth spending 20-minutes listening to this insight-packed conversation including agile as a way to support hybrid working, learning in a hybrid context and how to create culture in a hybrid organisation.
Elsewhere in the leadership update are articles on proximity bias, how outsourcing software development in the US is a response to talent shortage rather than cost savings and how two leadership styles are emerging in response to our uncertain world.

In this month’s Leadership Update, we lean into ongoing headlines about the great resignation, the challenges of hybrid working and quiet quitting. We agree with a lot of what’s written, but we also see good reason to feel optimistic, viewing this period as an opportunity to really shift attitudes to the way we work.
