Interview Summary
A lot of managers are working on improving culture in the workplace with geographically spread team members who they don't see as much because of flexible working arrangements.
A franchise system involves a balance between creating a culture in which we're asking people to comply with certain principles and processes but also to be driven and show initiative.
The debrief
The dirty dozen can apply to organisations across the spectrum and leaders need to support people to evolve and be prepared to have challenging conversations with those who won’t.
The temptation to fill an empty seat-or avoid creating one-comes at a cost. When the pool of recruits is shallow , do we make that better by making our workplace less attractive to work in? That is what we do when we recruit the wrong person - or retain someone who no longer fits - for fear of the empty seat.
