Do you even 360?
In recent Workology Co blogs, we have shared a little bit about Workology Co’s philosophy on how organisations can create exceptional workplace culture. In a nutshell, it is a combination of adopting the Sir Richard Branson mantra of caring for your employees, so they care for your customer + adopting a people first approach to leadership. [...]
Why a people-first approach is no longer just a ‘nice to have’.
When most people think about how to successfully run their business, I warrant that for the most part, they intentionally plan to adapt a profit maximising approach. However, there is a growing number of business leaders who understand that a people-first approach is what makes the difference between surviving and thriving. Which is why I want [...]
Know your stakeholders
Stakeholder engagement. What do you think of when you read those words? I’m willing to place a small wager (on a nice bottle of champers if you ‘re wondering) that the first thing that sprung to mind when you saw those words was your external stakeholders such as your clients, suppliers, contractors, referral sources. Do you [...]
Thank you, Sir Richard.
Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care of your employees, they will take care of your clients. I have never personally met Sir Richard Branson.

Happy New Year = Happy Self-Leadership reflection!
We interrupt your regular viewing to bring you the following post. Hey, hi, Happy New Year, Happy 2021! Good riddance to the cra-cra year that was 2020 huh! There is absolutely no denying that 2020 was as year like no other. Well, I guess unless you lived through the Spanish Flu. Which I suspect if you [...]
All the feels (Part 2 of 2020 Wrap-up)
In case you missed it, Christmas is here. I know, I know. It doesn’t seem possible. Time was frozen for so long during lockdowns, that it kind of feels like we skipped from the March long weekend (just before lockdown #1) all the way to December. At the same time as it felt like we were [...]
