Achieving a good career match between your ambitions and the roles available is your main priority when an organisation restructure is on the cards. But how do you do that? That was what I was asked to help one manager with. When I met Sarah she was a senior manager with 20 years’ service in
Last week I promised I would share my favourite 360-degree feedback tool with you, so here goes. But before I do let me declare an interest. I am licensed to use this tool so it’s in my interest to encourage others to use it. However, let me also be clear that I wouldn’t have become

This week I’ve been continuing my review of 360 degree feedback with a leadership team as they start of their coaching programmes. What struck me was how valuable the feedback was in helping leaders recognise the challenges of working remotely and identifying ways of addressing those challenges.
