This is a man’s world, this is a man’s world But it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl. James Brown and Betty Jean Newsome.

by François Moscovici | 28th Jun 2010 | Blog, Great reads & links, Leaders, Opinions, Women

Are our attempts to develop women to function well in a ‘man’s world’ misguided when: 60% of university graduates worldwide are women 80% of the market is female or female influenced gender balance has been repeatedly proven good for business Why are...

Forever Blue… Not!

by François Moscovici | 14th Jun 2010 | Blog, Leaders, Leaders in action, Opinions

I was going to write a learned entry about managing Talent but an unforeseen event happened last night that reordered my priorities… We went to see Chris Isaak at theShepherd’s Bush Empire, a West London theatre now dedicated to good live music (Buddy Guy is playing...

Why can’t we just get along?

by Averil Leimon | 18th May 2010 | Blog, Great reads & links, Leaders, Leaders in action

I was in the BBC studio last week with Fred McAuley. He had been in London for the Sony Radio Academy Awards as part of the News Quiz team so it was nice to have him in the studio for a change rather than me sitting alone with just a pair of headphones for company....

“Run politician run”: the other marathon

by François Moscovici | 5th May 2010 | Blog, Great reads & links, Leaders, Opinions

Today’s politicians are fit for purpose. What does it say about business leaders and their responsibility to keep their business in shape? As if a six-week campaign was not gruelling enough, I was astounded to learn that all three British big party leaders had...

It’s a Marathon

by Averil Leimon | 26th Apr 2010 | Blog, Great reads & links, Leaders

I love the London marathon. I live in Blackheath and watch the place transform every year. I am so impressed by the military precision with which everything is organised. This has improved year on year as lessons are learned and changes put in place. From the set up,...

Trains, boats, planes, taxis and volcanoes

by Averil Leimon | 22nd Apr 2010 | Blog, Leaders, Opinions

Aren’t people amazing? Faced with the unprecedented situation of volcanic ash filling the skies but invisible to our eyes during the traditional Easter holidays, chaos ensues. But you can’t keep a good person down. Instead of staying put and watching the holiday money...

We Need Your Vote!

by Averil Leimon | 7th Apr 2010 | Blog, Great reads & links, Leaders, Leaders in action

I am writing this on the day that the election was finally announced for the 6th May. Well, that was hardly a big surprise, was it? I have listened to the assorted leaders and I have read the pundits and I certainly have no desire to get all party political on you...

Peter Graves: the death of the Perfect Plan

by François Moscovici | 15th Mar 2010 | Blog, Great reads & links, Leaders, Leaders in action

News just in: Peter Graves, the team leader in the original Mission: Impossible (1966-1973), has passed away last night, aged 83. Forget the diluted Tom Cruise remakes, Peter, along with Martin Landeau and Greg Morris were the real thing! Peter and friends represented...

Bullying at the highest levels – Call in the ‘soft’ experts!

by Averil Leimon | 8th Mar 2010 | Blog, Great reads & links, Leaders, Opinions

Alleged bullying at a high level has been much in the news in the last week or so. We often only think of bullying in connection with the more junior and most vulnerable in the organisation. Not so. Over the last six months I have seen a few breathtaking instances of...

The Rabbi’s leadership wisdom

by François Moscovici | 1st Mar 2010 | Blog, Great reads & links, Leaders, Opinions

A couple of weeks ago I was invited to one of my friends’ son’s Bar Mitzvah. These are usually exciting affairs: lots of symbolism, proud parents and a good party afterwards. However, I was, as usual, dreading two things: an overlong service (typically twice as long...

Ship arriving too late to save a drowning witch

by François Moscovici | 15th Feb 2010 | Blog, Great reads & links, Leaders

This week’s smile comes from Frank Zappa’s album cover which he himself borrowed from Roger Price’s Droodles. The message, obviously, is that timing is everything. As the current recession slowly washes away, one of the lagging indicators will be – as usual – the...

Lie To Me?

by Averil Leimon | 8th Feb 2010 | Blog, Leaders, Leaders in action

I have really enjoyed the TV series Lie to Me for a number of reasons: it is good, glossy American entertainment yet stars the brilliant aging punk Tim Roth as Cal Lightman the deception specialist and also because it is based on the real sound science of Dr Paul...
