People are not your most valuable resource.

Keith Hatter

Firstly, because us humans are not carbon based units of production. I am not a resource and I don't think anyone else is either. Secondly, because in so many of my conversations with leaders over the last 30 years, the one thing that regularly comes up as their most precious…

Why HR could be doing so much more for you.

Keith Hatter

A few weeks ago I was chatting to a HRD preparing a talk about the role of HR. Their theme was that HR shouldn’t exist. The idea that when it comes to people stuff, expertise should sit with functional leaders in the organisation isn't new. I get that in many…

Hybrid working – 3 ways to improve the development of our future leaders

Keith Hatter

There’s been a lot written on here and elsewhere about the challenges, opportunities and different approaches to hybrid working, a term I’ve come to increasingly irritated by because I think it’s unhelpful and in itself, nothing new. Every leader I’ve worked with over the last 35 years has worked in…

It’s basically Martin Scorcese chatting with Fran Leibowitz and it’s a beautiful, funny, enlightening and thought-provoking series of conversations. In one episode,…

What if you just surrendered?

Keith Hatter

Being on a team can be hard. Being on a proper team is really hard, which is why most people have never had that experience. The real reason why it’s hard is seldom discussed and definitely isn’t solved by doing ridiculous team building activities. Otherwise all you’d have to do…

Most people haven’t been on a proper team

Keith Hatter

Calling something high performance, doesn’t make it high performance. Be really clear on what you need. Leaders say they want high performance teams however, “performance” is a word that’s widely misused and therefore widely misunderstood.
