This is the podcast all about making work, work for more of us. In these short 15 minute monthly conversations we explore the big themes – culture that works, leadership that makes a difference, and the people stuff that matters most. Whether you are in a small business, a big business or are looking to make a positive contribution in your career or to your community, the themes of this podcast will be relevant for you. Tune in to get a weekly dose of Wickvale's signature optimistic yet pragmatic big thinking across all things work, topped off with a giggle of two!
This week on Article 23, Rhonda and James talk about why public debate feels more broken than ever, what we can learn from people living well over a long life, and the controversial decision by BOLT to cut its entire HR team. Thoughtful, honest conversations about work, people and where things are heading next.
Tackling the very big topics of 100 year lives and psych safety, we avoid dumbing the best ideas down, and instead, lean into their complexity for better answers
High performance is often framed in terms of individual brilliance, but organisations don’t work that way. In this episode, we unpack what a High Performance Scorecard actually looks for, why leadership is fundamentally collective, and a practical lesson from client work: if you want people to improve culture, you have to make the work less scary and far more doable.
Tune in for three key insights: what the latest reporting season reveals about people, timeless simple ideas, and a crucial lesson from our clients; high performance requires accountability and fair share.
What does fairness truly mean at work? And why “having an edge” - constantly seeking excellence - attracts 'like' and requires a whole lot more curiosity and generosity than you might expect. We unpack insights from thousands of culture data points, explore why our own beliefs influence our perceptions much more than we think, and share a powerful client lesson:Multiple truths aren’t occasional — they’re constant.
In this episode of Article 23, we explore common patterns and approaches to handling two-speed teams, examine a sensible path through the current trend of employees suing their employers, and highlight the positive news from the inaugural McKinnon Index, which garnered representative views of Australians on democracy.
This week, Rhonda and James discuss the often overlooked criticality of culture assessment in Mergers, Acquisitions, and Integrations; why independence, proximity, and intent matter in Culture Reviews, and some emerging themes from our clients on CEO performance measurement and learning in sport.
Tune in this week to hear Rhonda and James share the story of bidding mwah. a fond farewell, and introducing a new, serious name for our serious work... Wickvale!
Rhonda and James discuss key principles of Leadership Development, where we need to be better at some critical areas, and an amazing wrap-up of the Aurora Ball, Rainbow Giving’s annual fundraising gala extravaganza.
Rhonda and James get a bit carried away talking about why every organisation deserves a smooth transition (and most importantly how to orchestrate one), before breaking down the common myths that divide high performance and psych safety (when in reality they go hand on glove), and then land on the living inspiration that is Professor Richard Colyer.
