From the desk of Caspar:
Building Resilience
“We need to be more resilient”.
“We need to look after our mental health”. “
We need to create a more inclusive work environment”.
How often do we hear these statements? In times of forced change, the desire for growth at work reveals the cracks that hold a team back from achieving their potential. I hear these challenges across all industry sectors and from companies large and small.
What is is that ties these challenges together and what can each person in your team, starting with you do differently about it. The first step is to think differently. The second step is to then act differently. It’s only when you think and act differently will you likely see a different outcome.
The Idea Espresso Hit
When leaders force change they evoke fear and resistance,
When leaders suggest experiments, they inspire curiosity.
The Disruptors Mindset
What got you here, won't get you there.
This might well be a useful mantra for any team or organisation that's looking to achieve its Big Bold Goals.
How then do you get a team or organisation to think differently, feel differently, and then act differently?
The Disruptors Mindset is a way of thinking that challenges the normal way of doing things. It's something that ambitious leaders can set about cultivating deliberately.

Big and Bold vs Incremental Change
In the wake of COP26, there’s been some progress but clearly not enough to deal with the single biggest issue the world faces. As the world struggles to face up with disruption caused by climate change, the thinking we are seeing epitomises incremental thinking rather than radical thinking. I don’t know if this clip is true, but the humour captures the essence of the tokenism we are seeing so far.
Is your team ready?
Is your team ready to tackle their challenges? Do they have what it takes in the tool kit to take on audacious goals. If your team needs inspiration and the tool kit to move ahead in times of uncertainty, I can help.
