There is often a fundamental misconception about nature of the relationship between corporates and their partners in the international development and charity sectors. The misconception is based on the belief that it is largely one way – businesses offering money, resources and expertise and those in the international development and charity sectors simply being the recipients of these. However, t...

The path of entrepreneurship is rarely a smooth one.  The perceptions so commonly held about the excitement of the entrepreneurial life belie a more pragmatic reality for many - days and days of hard, hard work, hopefully punctuated by pockets of success.  As entrepreneurs, we need to ensure that in the drive to achieve, to win in business and become the successful entrepreneur - the nar...

A focused and passionate commitment to innovation has to be one of the prevailing themes that drives all businesses. If you fail to continually focus on genuine innovation  – in your creative thinking, in your people, your processes, your products; over time in the inevitable will come to pass – declining revenues, irrelevant products, disillusioned employees and leaders, frustrated sharehold...

There is real power in true diversity in business – it motivates minds, creates competitive advantage and builds brands with brilliance, relevance and longevity. It is, and must be, a critical component of a business’s strategic and commercial tool kit to ensure it both represents society it resides within and crucially, also understands the needs, desires and emotional triggers of the customers i...

So much of leadership is about the ability to perform at the highest levels - under pressure, day after day, commercially, mentally, emotionally.  Key to this is the skill that lies in intelligently anticipating and rapidly adapting to an everchanging environment. High performance athletes are masters at this - anticipating and reading the game as it plays out and quickly adapting their game...

The entrepreneurial journey can be richly rewarding in many ways. It can also be challenging and filled with self-doubt as the entrepreneur battles both the external and internal voices that question the worthiness of their entrepreneurial idea and their ability to successfully deliver it.  This week, The New P&L speaks to Business Strategy Coach and 'The Resilient Entrepreneur' podcast h...

There's a lot of talk about "build back better" with business leaders, organisations and think tanks contributing ideas and concepts to paint the picture of a better future. However, we also need to focus on the doers - those taking action, and willing to fail, in pursuit of the reimagining of business today. In particular, at times of crisis, these entrepreneurs are seen as leaders who can emerge...

Resilience in a crisis is a critical asset for a leader and the need for leaders to make calm, rational and clear decisions has rarely been more important than right now for many businesses, as they wade through multiple challenges faced by the pandemic and the uncertain future it has created. This week on the New P&L, we speak to resilient leadership specialist and Canadian Armed Forces veter...

Authenticity, integrity and trust are key characteristics of an ‘enlightened leader’. However, all of these leadership characteristics require a healthy dose of self-awareness first – the ability to clearly recognise the impact of your actions upon others and to empathise so you can motivate. These key characteristics also require a leader to keep their ego in check, on the right side of excess -...

Creativity is part of the essence of who we are. It excites us, moves us, and encourages us to ask more of ourselves. It is also a mission-critical asset in business; one that is, however, often undervalued and frequently misunderstood. This week we had the privilege of welcoming internationally respected social entrepreneur, humanitarian and creativity thought leader, Firdaus Kharas to The New P&...

Talking about ‘Purpose’ – a brand’s Purpose - is increasingly de rigueur within the business community today. However, sometimes a large gulf exists between a brand vocalising commitment to its defined Purpose and it then authentically and enthusiastically weaving it into the heart of its culture and delivering on it every day. This week, The New P&L speaks to Markus Kramer, Managing Partner a...

This week, The New P&L spoke to TEDx Speaker, #1 Bestselling author of The Six Habits and Life Mastery Coach, Laura DiBenedetto. After retiring at...

A more diverse and inclusive workforce – where there is equality of opportunity and all employees feel included, heard and respected is ultimately a more productive and commercially successful one. It is also one that is rightly more reflective of the fantastic diversity of ethnicity, culture, gender and social experience that exists in society itself. However, there remain significant systemic an...
