I am fascinated with what makes companies and their people perform. This has led me on a jou ey of curiosity, from doing the work to managing the team that did the work to developing the managers who managed the teams that did the work to developing the leaders who run the companies so that everyone can succeed.
Along the way, I have picked up qualifications and experience in executive coaching, emotional intelligence, training design and delivery, personality tools, competency frameworks, performance management, interviewing, leadership development, personal and company values,…there’s a few more but you probably don’t want to hear about the degree in physics and math or the diploma in statistics.
Finally, during my spare time in 2011, I got around to writing and publishing a book,Values-Not Just for the Office Wall Plaque: How Personal and Company Values Intersect. I’m delighted because that had been sitting on my to-do list for a while.

Looking forward to connecting with you, Irial

The Starting Point of Leadership
Leadership, or the lack thereof, has been receiving a lot of attention over the last few years but, let’s face it, it’s a fairly woolly topic. There are as many definitions of leadership as there are people. Personally, I define leadership as the ability to look forward and clearly see the future you want for your organization, communicate this throughout the organization and to enable people to achieve it.

Charismatic Leadership: Help or Hinderance?
While recently delivering a module on leadership development, several participants suggested that charisma is high up on the list of important qualities for a leader. Research, however, would indicate that many effective leaders are humble, to the point that charisma is the last word used to describe them. So, is charisma a key ingredient to effective Leadership or does it undermine leadership?

How Personal Values Impact Our Daily Lives
Values is a much referenced idea but what exactly are values and what difference does understanding them make to someone's life? While there are many definitions of values, I use the following: Personal values are an internal set of standards that each of us expects ourselves, and others, to live up to. These standards are sufficiently worthwhile to us that we spend extra time and effort behaving in ways that uphold them.

Impact of Covert Conflict in the Workplace
When we think about conflict in the workplace, we often think of an obvious personality clash between two people which everyone is aware of and they try to avoid like the plague. In effect, it is an overt conflict and, if we think about it, this type of conflict is quite extreme and, relatively speaking, not that common. Much more common, and less obvious, is the covert conflict that happens on a regular basis between people and/or teams. Such conflict can damage an individual’s or team’s performance, resulting in the company underperforming.
