Leaders, particular executive-level leaders, rise and fall on their ability to have good judgement, whatever that is! Yet, most leaders never learn how to develop this situational level skill.
I am joined by Meahan Callaghan, CHRO for RedBubble. She is one of the most experienced CHRO/ HRD’s (Chief People Officer) in the technology sector globally having led the people function in three different technology unicorns.
We discuss:
- the importance of HR professionals to get some line experience in order to fully understand the implications of implementing HR policies,
- Why leading a call centre is one of the fastest ways to realise the clashes between commercial realities and people aspirations,
- What is judgement?
Classic mistakes aspiring leaders make when learning how to utilise good judgement, - Why is the notion of ‘good judgement here looks like this’, so important?
- Five key steps organisations can use to help elevate good decision making amongst leaders,
and a whole lot more…!
