COLIN ON CULTURE

Purpose is an inconvenience
It’s a statement of what you won’t do
We’re all fallible
To err is human
The banker who gave Britain reason to rest
When we take a break we do everything better
Knowing everything, doing nothing
Information is useful if we do something with it
Feedback is data not instruction
There’s a difference between receiving and obeying
The half we keep ignoring
Autonomy is nothing without heteronomy
There's no AI without the human
People first then machines
Declining meetings
How you spend your time is your decision
Your body language sometimes lies
Crossed arms isn’t always a sign of dissent
Culture starts and ends at the top
Leaders are always accountable for employee conditions
Slow down, think more
Making time to think improves the value you add
Lessons from Dad
Learning from the people that raise us
The leadership clarity and prioritisation problem
How leaders set direction on what’s important
Stop trying to win arguments
Disagreements aren’t battles
Ambition without wreckage
Progression doesn’t need a trail of destruction
What small talk says about your culture
Let’s not talk about the weather
The cost of delivering bad news, badly
People won’t forget how you tell them
Leadership and culture
The interconnected nature of who and how
Talent isn’t finite
We can always improve how talented we are
The belief you’re already defending
Be aware of what you prefer
