How many people will continue in the same job for another 20 years? Many people who reach midlife and want a change, maybe boredom has kicked in, their salary expectations have dropped, their role no longer exists or they no longer find it fulfilling. Continuous learning makes you more employable and keeps your mind more resistant to long-term diseases like dementia (which studies have shown*). Career coaches can help you find that next career move, as this can take time and work to get a good fit. *BMJ Open. 2019; 9(7): e027719 - Continuing education for the prevention of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s-type dementia

I'm heading into town for the inaugural roundtable of the Nature Market Dialogue, The Broadway Initiative project to bring all the voices together to build unity and consensus. First up, market governance. Land-based and farming friends, what would you be hoping would be discussed? This roundtable is the start of a process. There will be working groups, workshops, consultations. There will be other workstreams besides governance. Everyone's voice should have a chance to be heard, head here if you want to share a view: https://lnkd.in/eeXEezQ2

Interesting update from The Forum-Group https://lnkd.in/eifD_2mC on the Chief Communications Officer role. Especially relevant if you look at what happened with Carta https://lnkd.in/ecX3d979 this week.

Without purpose there is no strategy https://lnkd.in/gh-GhpxY

Ironic, isn't it......that the time when you, a leader, need concepts like purpose, or core pillars of organisation differentiation like values or the defined culture the most...is also the time when those principles come under attack. Why would that be? What's the alternative agenda? That discord is the loudest signal you'll get that you need to double down on your inclusive development effort and accelerate your organisation development and engagement strategy. Most of our leadership coaching discussions at the moment seem to involve three key concerns: - leadership and management clashes across generations - hiring and retention challenges - resilience and sustaining performance (at all levels). These are tough times. There are leadership crises everywhere you turn. So it's hardly surprising. Scratch the surface and in many of these situations: a) there's a lack of clarity about the organisation's true purpose and innate character, sending out weak, mixed and generic signals b) they're looking for the wrong people in the right places c) there's no golden thread between the organisation's strategy, goals and individual accountabilities Every business has a story, a narrative that should be shared and owned. It needs to look back as well as forward and should act as a beacon for like minds and also attract those who can see the potential ahead and help the leaders get there. Whatever the state of the recruitment market, retention and development of your champions is within your gift as leaders. You have agency. Stop expecting external forces and the market to bring you the answers. Cultivate the capability within and start by reminding yourself and those that truly matter, why you're in business at all. What matters and what must happen next will suddenly become a lot more apparent.
