In this podcast, we’ll share more about how to understand behavioural patterns of yourself and those around you. We’ll tell stories we’ve experienced and the tools to use to flex behaviour.

In this episode, we explore the role of leadership self-awareness and why it’s only the starting point for true leadership growth.
While self-awareness is essential, it’s not enough for effective leadership. We delve into the importance of understanding your team’s behavioural styles and preferences and explain why assumptions based on self-awareness alone can be misleading. We also discuss the critical role of context, and how leaders must apply self-awareness within the unique dynamics of their teams and environments.
Finally, we highlight the need for organisations to invest in the development of their leaders as well as their teams to ensure long-term success.

In the final episode of season one of the Misbehave podcast, we’re talking about one of our favourite things: change.
Whether forced or elective, change is inevitable. But successful change management is not. In fact, most change initiatives fail. And the consequences of mishandling change can be catastrophic.
In this podcast, we discuss how behavioural insight can transform the way you and your business manage change. You’ll see how to positively influence change by understanding the dominant behaviours in your team and getting your communications right.

Getting recruitment wrong means losing time, money and productivity. In fact, the cost of a recruitment mistake for your business can average anywhere from £30K to six figures.
In episode five of the Misbehave podcast we discuss each stage of the recruitment process, from job adverts to interview questions, to show you how applying behavioural understanding allows you to better predict success prior to hire.
You'll also hear our three actionable tips to make this a reality in your business and recruit more intelligently.

In this episode, we’re talking behavioural pitfalls in workplace culture.

Ultimately, we share how understanding employees’ behaviours and building this into your culture will result in a team of motivated, driven people, and elevated company performance.
