Simply, Practically Human with Mark LeBusque Mark LeBusque

Excessive Meetings, Engagement Surveys, Narcissism and the difficulty of practising true Human Leadership are all questions thrown at Mark in this weeks podcast.



As usual Mark gives his unfiltered and unplanned perspective on each of the topics as a way of provoking you to think a little outside the square on popular workplace topics.



Go on have a listen. 

Micromanagers, Trust, Change Resistance and Molding My Manager all get a run in this weeks episode.



Be provoked and perhaps pleasantly surprised by the 'Purposeful Provocateurs' take on these topics. 

Mark was flooded with questions after his last "Ask Mark Anything' Poddy so he's had another 'off the cuff' crack at answering questions about workplaces as 'families', first impressions and the importance of gut feel, how to be bold and keep your boss onside when you want to make a career move, dealing with 'idea stealers' and those who 'want to always be in the photo' and taking control of your life design (aka work-life balance). You may agree or disagree with Mark's perspectives here and you'd both be right!!

I love questions with very little notice, and in this weeks episode I share my 'truth' on questions relating to workplace bullying, teaching leadership, leading when there's a personality and values clash, changing a deeply ingrained s****y culture and the mandate to return to the office (good or bad).



Oh and there's even a cheeky question about age appropriateness to wear a 'man-bun'. Have a listen, get triggered or nod your head (or both) as I give it my best shot. 

Author and Leadership Coach Julie Hyde's cancer diagnosis sent her into a dark place and she knew she had to make a choice there and then.



In this episode Julie shares her inspirational story of choosing victim or victor, the difference between a choice and a decision, why busyness is a 'jailor for choice', and how one can create their own hope.

Tiff Cook is back again and we reflect on the helpfulness and/or harmfulness of data around a range of related topics in this chat, along with how and why we judge people (motorbike riders for me), what makes us like (or dislike) them, and how understanding our strengths and personality styles (more data, incidentally) can help us work, grow, connect and conquer.



Again this is 'Podcast freestyling' at its very best. Take a listen - I dare you (and will judge you if you don't).
