The most successful organizations throughout history are those that tap into the unique ability of people to be creative. It's a natural human desire to create, contribute and interact with things that are bigger than ourselves. Yet most HR systems don't deliver that, they prioritize compliance ahead of engagement control, ahead of leadership and tasks ahead of outcomes

I'm delighted to be talking with Andrew Seinor, co-founder of The H Factor, a very different kind of human resources system.

We talk about:

· performance appraisals, dating back to the 60s and 70s

· the performance appraisal process that was so demotivating that performance declined

· why HR gets a bad rap

· why people leave managers

· why excessive focus on being a good person is not a good management strategy

· how to lead people who come to work each day with the best intention

· why employing a manager to “fix” the business is not a good strategy

· drawing on skills and talents that are beneficial for the person and the business

· creating space for curiosity – the culture of trying new things

· the problem with HR performance rating systems

· the courage to say “I don’t think this is the right task and here’s why"

· what are your people actually doing?

· letting go as a leader

· the system that goes on forever

· “Oh, you’re kidding! Why didn’t we know that?”

Belle Lockerby is the best-selling author of “Awkward is the New Brave. Wipe-outs Happen, Get Back Up Anyway”.

Belle has a unique way of telling her story and helping others to repurpose the past with humour, honesty and kindness.

Belle has coached and inspired over a thousand people to create change in business and in life, encouraging everyone to be brave enough to be themselves and awkward enough to try uncomfortable things.

I caught up with Belle shortly after her book was launched and hit the best-seller list. I couldn’t wait to share her wisdom and practical advice about what to do with fear - from crawling to the edge of the Grand Canyon to handling a frog.

We didn’t talk about surfing, which is a big fear-busting challenge that Belle talks about in the book, but I’ll leave that for you to discover yourself when you read the book.

• Awkward is the New Brave. How the title came about
• The value of hiring an editor.
• Asking for help, even if it feels uncomfortable, and how connections flow
• The bits that didn't make the final cut
• When leadership is thrust on you; Awkward conversations handled with compassion and grace.
• Should I put my kids in my book?
• You do not deserve to be hidden, use your voice. Ask for help. Tell your story. Celebrate who you are
• Being vulnerable - someone to hold your hand and do scary things
• Dealing with amygdala hijack
• Looking over the edge of the Grand Canyon and fear of frogs and screaming in the back yard
• Seeking out predictable things is not always the right thing to do.
• Lessons from self-publishing a book - learning the mechanics behind things.
• I hit that bestseller list because of the community and the small but engaged group that I have.
• Marketing campaign - Facebook Lives, I can wash dishes and chat to you at the same time.
• One big learning in terms of reaching PR people.
• How to be effective with a small budget and use what I've got and just work with
• Recognising the stuff that you need to let go of for this period of time
• Big goals involving Reese Witherspoon and Keanu Reeves - putting it out there.
• Book number two; The Willow Trees, about diversity around our migration history, the challenges, and how you can start to break generational stories
