Leanne Hoagland-Smith mentions in her article a quote by Peter Drucker: “Culture will eat strategy for breakfast.”

Culture is everything. Smart entrepreneurs understand that a ‘healthy workplace culture’ is paramount for running a successful business. But how do we create a culture that will help our people to become the best they can be, or become a magnet for new talents? And once we have those talents on board, how do we keep them?’

In this edition we take a closer look at talent management and what organisations can do to attract, develop and keep great talent.

“The way we manage organisations seems increasingly out of date. Deep inside, we sense that more is possible. We long for soulful workplaces, for authenticity, community, passion, and purpose.” These words by Frederic Laloux in his book ‘Reinventing Organisations’ are proof of a new shift in consciousness that is currently underway.

The most successful organisations today have taken a radical leap towards creating a new worldview. They are able to lift groups of people to punch above their weight, to achieve outcomes they could not have achieved on their own.

The articles in this edition pave the way to establish a new way of thinking about organisational structures and developing talented individuals.

We also take a look at the individual level; what you (and your clients) can do to prepare yourself for that next level of consciousness. Grant Soosalu does a tremendous job in integrating our Heart, Head and Gut brains and we have reviewed Marshall Goldsmith’s amazing new book “Triggers” that offers practical advice to master the daily triggers that influence our behaviour.

We hope you’ll enjoy it!
