Join the leadership reflection group

If you’ve landed on this page, please consider this to be your personal invitation to join the leadership reflection group. We’ve got issues with leadership, and we need to find some fixes!

Why is leadership shit?

At the International Positive Psychology Association World Congress in July, I attended a workshop where we were invited to create ‘provocations’ for discussion.

The group I landed in discussed the provocation ‘Why is leadership shit? We know all the things to do, so why don’t we do them?’ It was a lively and fascinating discussion, and I want to extend the conversation to include more people.

If you’re interested in this topic, whether as a leader, trainer, or interested by-stander, please join our first conversation on Monday 4th August, at 4pm NZST.
