Just read a thought-provoking piece by William Furney that dives into Kathleen Saxton's brilliant insights on leadership. 🌟

Saxton, a former executive headhunter and current psychotherapist, highlights a crucial issue: toxic leaders often keep their positions because organisations adapt to their harmful behaviours instead of addressing them. This "architecture of accommodation" means colleagues dance around the problem rather than confront it.

Her powerful statement resonates deeply: "Good leadership enlarges people. Bad leadership, at its darkest, persuades a person, slowly, to disappear." Bad leadership can make individuals retreat, stifling innovation and engagement, while good leadership boosts confidence and autonomy.

For HR professionals, the challenge is to see beyond strong performance metrics and recognise when a culture of silence and apprehension is taking hold. High employee turnover or repeated grievances should send alarm bells ringing. 🛎️

Ultimately, Saxton argues that leadership should be judged by its impact on people. If you're noticing a quieter workforce less willing to challenge ideas, it might be time to look closer at leadership practices. 💼💭

Has the idea of a four-day work week crossed your mind? It's not just a fringe concept anymore. In today's competitive job market, many founders are embracing this model, and it's proving beneficial in several unexpected ways. 🌟

From my recent reading, I learned that founders who have switched to a four-day work week report sustained productivity levels. They measure success by output, not hours spent at a desk. Andrew McLernon from Interlink mentioned achieving 100% of their revenue targets while implementing this model. Intriguing, right?

The secret sauce? It's about quality over quantity. By streamlining processes, cutting unnecessary meetings, and constantly reviewing the model, companies avoid turning four days of work into five days of stress.

Not only does this approach boost productivity, but it also significantly impacts wellbeing. Employees have more time to recharge, which in turn supports their performance at work. 🌿💪

Additionally, it's a fantastic recruitment tool. Gareth Hoyle of Marketing Signals noted that the four-day week has been a unique selling point for potential hires.

Of course, challenges remain, like ensuring client coverage or adapting team processes, but ongoing adjustments and team involvement seem to pave the way for success.

What do you think about the four-day work week? Is it the future of work or just a passing trend? Let's discuss! 👇

Despite fewer job vacancies, employers across the UK are struggling to retain talent. 🤔 According to the Office for National Statistics, job vacancies hit a low of 702,000 between June and August 2026, the lowest since 2014 (excluding the pandemic). One might think this would make it easier for employers to retain staff, but the reality is quite different.

Research by CIPD and Omni RMS found that 44% of UK employers believe retaining talent has become harder over the past year. Interestingly, half of UK workers are still looking to change jobs this year. So, what's driving this trend? 📉

Experts point to multiple factors:
- Rising costs are creating tension between employers trying to control spending and employees seeking higher pay to cope with the cost of living.
- Flexibility and development opportunities also play a crucial role. Employees are more likely to move if they find a role offering better pay and flexibility, especially when training and development are paused.
- Increased workloads and the pressure to do more with less can lead to burnout. Skilled workers often take on more responsibilities during hiring freezes, which isn't always met with adequate recognition and reward.

A proactive approach is essential. Regular check-ins and 'stay interviews' can address dissatisfaction early and identify what keeps employees engaged. Employers should also ensure that the reality of a role matches what was promised during recruitment.

Let's not forget that competition for well-qualified talent is stiff. Employers often find scarce, skilled workers through personal approaches rather than job adverts. This means that even if employees are not actively job hunting, they might be open to other opportunities if their current role doesn't live up to expectations. 🌟
