Why checking your heart rate could be the key to leadership development
On World Health Day, we explore why your heart rate is inextricably linked to your leadership performance. Leadership development is usually about assessments, training courses, secondments and coaching. That’s all valid, but we believe that your heart rate – or more specifically heart rate variability (HRV) – could be key to understanding and transforming performance. […]

Rewilding … a company not the countryside
Strictly speaking, rewilding is about letting nature take care of itself. It’s a progressive approach to conservation that aims to restore and protect the natural processes and wilderness areas. However, at Complete, we believe the principles of rewilding can successfully be applied to organisations. In fact, we run our company on the environmental theory of […]

Bottling happiness
March 20th is the International Day of Happiness – a global event sponsored by the United Nations to promote the idea of being happy as a human right and to nurture and celebrate it.

Leading through connecting and curiosity
I confess, I am an out and proud science geek! This week is British Science Week, so it got me thinking about the role science has played in my life and work. As a kid I always pestered my parents with the question – “Why?”. Luckily my dad knew a lot, so he often fed […]

Lessons in coaching women in leadership
Last year, I wrote a blog about how system justice is at the heart of greater diversity. It generated quite a lot of interest. On World Day of Social Justice, it’s a topic I am keen to return to. Social justice is about much more than diversity, it’s about the many inequalities in our society. […]

Achieving a mutual understanding
We’ve talked a lot recently about the importance of empathy (see the era of the empathetic boss) and appreciating diversity. Much of what we’ve discussed has centred on understanding and creating a mutual understanding. It’s something that’s at the heart of the UN’s International Day of Fraternity too (4 February 2023). Reaching a mutual understanding […]

Trust: elusive but essential
According to Edelman’s annual Trust Barometer, our trust in public organisations is not just on a slow, but marked decline. In fact, in 2022 for the first time, businesses were more trusted than government or the media, and even NGOs. However, the result is nothing to be proud of. Only 61% of survey respondents said […]

Managing the stress of the festive season
Christmas can be particularly stressful. It’s not just the practical things like presents, cards and parties, it’s also the emotional turmoil of families and friends, and the ‘Insta-perfect’ time we’re all supposed to be having. It’s no wonder that all that pressure can dampen our enthusiasm for the festivities and leave us exhausted. So, what […]

Can your colleagues make or break a job?
We asked for your views in our recent LinkedIn poll and the answer was a resounding ‘yes’. More than nine in ten of you (92%) said that work colleagues really can make or break a job. Given the amount of our lives we spend at work, it’s no wonder the people around us really matter. […]

The era of the empathetic boss
More than 30 years since Gordon Gekko declared “greed is good”, have we finally woken up to a more empathetic leadership style? Our LinkedIn family certainly thinks so. When we asked them in a recent poll to tell us what they considered the most important leadership trait today, 81% said leaders should be empathetic and […]

When differences are strengths – the value of assessments
Let’s be honest, it’s so much easier to work with people who think like we do. When you’re already aligned on the best option, you can quickly reach a decision. There’s not so much debate and evaluation. All good, right? Wrong! Better decisions come when we embrace our differences, but that’s easier said than done. […]

Walk this way … to emotional management
We recently asked you about your walking habits. Ever since ’10,000 steps a day’ was conceived by a Japanese pedometer manufacturer in the 1960s, we’ve been encouraged to go on a daily walk. We’ve now moved on from pedometers to smart watches and fitness trackers, but the walking habit has stood the test of time. […]
