On this episode of The Business Mastermind Podcast, Gavin is joined by Tony Brooks to talk about leadership, specifically what leaders should be doing differently in SMEs and corporates and where thy need to be putting their focus and attention.
We’ve been through a mammoth period of disruption with remote working, people being on furlough, and we’re now phasing back into the office, engaging with hybrid work patterns, there are people who have been on furlough for more than a year, some are reluctant to come back – much to the incredulities and frustration of business leaders. How do we get back to some form of normal and start to claw back the profits we were making 15 months ago?

BEST MOMENTS
‘Some companies have had a rougher time than others, but now’s a good time to stand back and see it’s a different climate out there, where are you going to take you business?’
‘Recalibration could lead you back to the same place, but there could be some really important shifts in thinking and strategy.
‘We have to appreciate that people’s anxiety levels are all different. Leaders need to be sensitive to that fact. There needs to be a sensitivity, but a line has to be drawn.’
‘Zoom has been amazing for communication, but you miss certain subtleties in body language and energy that’s there in the room. Perhaps, going forwards, it makes sense to have an initial sales meeting over Zoom to assess whether it’s worth sending salespeople across the country.’
‘People, for the most part can be trusted to get on a do the things they need to do and balance their work. But we need to be careful that it doesn’t swing too far the other way permanently.’
