What happens when the Rock Star leader leaves? It’s easy to be seduced by charisma. But charisma doesn’t build resilient systems. It builds followings. And followings, while powerful in the moment, tend to scatter when the leader exits stage left. That’s the crux of it. Charisma might get you applause but it rarely leaves behind a structure that can thrive without it.

If I asked your team to recite your company’s values, how many would get past the first one? Let’s be honest. Most people can’t remember them… let alone live by them. And yet, CEOs and leadership teams will confidently declare that “our values guide everything we do.” It’s a lovely sentiment. It just isn’t true. Not when the values are vague, generic, or worse, lifted straight from a corporate cliché handbook. In practice, too many values are nothing more than corporate wal

We’ve all heard the old adage that "people don’t leave jobs, they leave managers."  What makes a truly great leader today? It’s not just intelligence, technical ability, or even strategic vision, though all are important. It’s emotional intelligence (EI). The ability to lead with empathy, listen actively, and respond thoughtfully, it’s the difference between a disengaged team and one that thrives.

What started as a crisis response in 2020 has become the new normal for many organisations. We’ve all felt the shift, remote and hybrid working is now deeply embedded in how we operate. But while the logistical challenges of remote work have mostly been solved (thanks Teams and Zoom!), the real test lies in how we lead. Keeping people engaged, motivated, and connected when they’re spread across geographies and often time zones isn’t only a management problem but a leadership

AI is here, and it’s making inroads into almost every industry. The complication as I see it, is that many people either view it with a bit of suspicion "are the robots coming for our jobs?", or they see it as some abstract tech that’s miles away from their day to day. And when it comes to something as nuanced as finding the right interim leader, a role that relies so much on experience, judgment, and human connection, it’s natural to ask how can AI genuinely help?

How can we ensure that our tech investments are delivering real, measurable value and contributing to our long-term business goals?

We all know that change is the only constant in business these days. But knowing that and navigating it successfully are two very different things. You're likely facing a situation where your organisation needs to adapt, perhaps to a new market, a technological disruption, or even just internal restructuring. The complication? Finding the right leadership to guide you through it, especially when you need results fast. More often than not, the answer lies in the use of interi

We often talk about finding the right leaders for your business, but I've been thinking a lot lately about how we define "right". Are we sometimes too focused on fitting a perfect mould, a blueprint of what a “CFO” should be, based on industry expectations? You’re looking for a new COO. You naturally start by looking at COOs from within your sector. It's a logical step. They “get” your business, the regulations, the nuances. But what if you’re overlooking a hidden gem?

We all know great leaders. The ones who inspire, drive results, and generally make things happen. The thing is even the best leaders aren't perfect, despite how many management consultants say that they are. We've all got those "blind spots"... those areas where we just don't see ourselves as clearly as others do. It’s the flaws we can't see and these are the areas that can impact performance.

While many permanent CFOs excel at managing day-to-day finances, an Interim CFO often brings a broader strategic perspective.

Effective succession planning reflects a commitment to your employees' long-term career development.

A successful and sustainable offshore strategy lies in finding the right people, nurturing their talent, and strategically integrating them.
