As leaders we all strive to have high performance organisations and teams. We often define ‘high performance’ by our results and outputs. In fact though, it’s governed by the behaviours and culture of the organisation.

How are you currently influencing the culture of your organisation? Are you embodying the values and behaviours you want to see your teams demonstrating?

In the world of work, the environment around us is undergoing a profound shift, driven by geo politics, the macro economy and AI.
This transformation affects how we work, engage with colleagues, and adapt to technological advancements. What does this mean for us as leaders, and how do we need to adapt our approach as we progress through the 21st Century.

Have you had the expectations conversation yet?
The expectations conversation is one which people rarely have, especially with stakeholders, no-one is training anyone on, and guess what - it's probably the thing that will solve most friction and conflict in the workplace.
A no brainer I here you say! Well yes, it is. So, if you've never heard of it, or have a difficult team member/ customer/client/stakeholder relationship that you'...
How aligned is your team and organisation?
Those of you who have worked with me will know I'm passionate about this and can bang on about it for hours.
Instead, I've condensed my thoughts into a 12 minute podcast in this week's Being Leader Bites episode. A super short injection of ideas to start your day.
In this whistlestop tour, I cover engagement, capability and people development, return to the office mandates and reflective...
Welcome back to series 5 of The Being Leader. Over the next 12 months we'll be releasing at least one monthly Being Leader Bites.
These are short 5-10 minute podcasts, focussing on 1 topic and giving you some actionable tips and reflective questions to use in your leadership every day.
Our first episode is looking at our stance as a leader, and asking the question: how are you showing up?
It's that time of year, as we move toward the holiday season when people get a chance to pause and think, that many find it useful to do a check in, an annual review if you will to think about the year that has passed, and the year that is just about to start.
This short podcast is an audio guide to your annual review. In it I share the questions I use myself and offer my clients, and now I offer them to you.
I therefore invite yo...
In this final episode of The Being Leader, I reflect back on series 4, pulling out my highlights by episode, and leaving you with some reflective questions to consider about the human systems and teams you are part of.
Much of the work to help move a system or team forward would benefit from partnering with a systemic coach. If you'd like to learn more you can connect with me at https://www.linkedin.com/in/annabelgraham-coach-faci...
Have you ever worked in a family or founder led business?
This could be a small organisation, or one which has grown into a multi national, but at heart still embodies the essence of the founders.
In this episode I discuss this fascinating topic with Executive and Team Coach Preeta Cooley, herself a former founder, and uncover the challenges and benefits they bring.
Leaders, do you have consent to lead?
Does this come with the job title? Is it inferred in the psychological contract we have as employees in organisations?
When we take over a team from someone else, is the consent for our leadership transferred? Is it tacit or overt?
What if we don't consent to be lead as team members?
This and more I have the privilege to explore with author and coach Jos Burton. Thank you Jos for a great socia...
In episode 3 of Series 4 of the Being Leader, I am joined by executive coach Claire Bradshaw to explore how our need to belong shows up in the teams and organisations we are part of, and how this can impact how we feel and behave. We also reflect on loyalty, the upsides and downsides, and how it influences the decisions we make.
In the first of the full length episodes of Series 4 of the Being Leader, I am joined by Executive and Team Coach Patrizia Amanati to delve into systemic principles, constellations and the impact of order on human systems. This is a superb episode where we reflect on the organisations and teams we have worked with and been part of, and share where challenges have come up because of the hidden forces that underpin human systems.
Welcome back to the podcast, and this is series 4 of the Being Leader.
In this series we’re going to be looking at leadership and organisations systemically, and exploring with my guests some of the hidden aspects that show up all around us every day, that we aren’t necessarily aware of.
Over the next 4 episodes, I'll be joined by some great guests to explore this in depth, as well as offering you some reflections to think about wh...
Is change affecting your team? Not sure? Well, have you had any new team members, change of mandate, change of environment, moving of goal posts in the last 3-6 months?
All of that? Well - it probably is.
In this episode of the Being Leader with Nick Howell, we discuss the subject of how change impacts teams and share some of the things we’ve observed in our careers being in and leading teams, and also in our work together as Team...
Let's talk about something often ignores when we talk about change.
Transition – that sticky bit, the bit in between when people get stuck, frustrated and it all becomes a bit difficult.
Why don’t people talk about it? Well we often view change as a linear entity, a journey from 1 point to another, with a series of steps in the middle that will get us there, but we forget we are dealing with humans, and we're just a bit messier.
...How does change impact organisations? And if you are implementing a change project - large or small, what do you need to take into account.
In this episode I'm joined by Chris Barrett, experienced Transformation Director, COO and board advisor who shares his experiences from 20 years of transformation and change initiatives.
We explore change and transformation projects, and learn the key things we should and shouldn't be doing wh...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
