Leadership Update | October ’22
In this month’s Leadership Update, we lean into ongoing headlines about the great resignation, the challenges of hybrid working and quiet quitting.

The 3Ws: it’s one of our core frameworks (we wrote about our other favourite framework the 3Cs here. It’s another great tool to keep in your back pocket, especially when it feels like your team is stuck).

Leadership Update | August ’22
As Europe endures a heat wave, employers are feeling the heat too with the Great Resignation continuing to shift control to employees.

Teams of Teams
Andy Chevis, LIW’s head of design and research talks about Teams of teams and explaining why another structure change on its own isn’t enough and why the answer might already be in your organisation.
Thought Leadership – Doing to learn
Successful leaders and their teams apply a similar doing to learn process to the execution of their plans. A ‘Plan, Do, Review’ approach embeds learning into a team’s day-to-day activities. Regular touchpoints like sprints, stand-ups and retros enables teams to plan, review and execute plans in the short, medium and long term. Adopting a learning or experimental mindset, where you’re constantly learning means you can flex and adapt activity while never losing sight of your end goal.
