Welcome to APG Talks, I'm your host Andrew Gray

On this Podcast you can expect to hear lots of transformative content related to Mentoring, Leadership, High Performance Psychology & Inner Life Health for Leaders & Influencers

Most people severely under-estimate the importance of sustainability built on a robust inner life framework. Too many people are focused on, and relying on talent alone, as an indicator for success and contentment. This is a massive mistake that's destined to bring them unstuck sooner or later. You see, you need a foundation. You need a plumb-line of values and convictions that you refuse to compromise on. Your talent will work. Your talent will grow. However, if you don't build on the rock steady platform of what's required in your inner life, your trajectory towards your potential is already diminished.

My task . . . My privilege, is to help you build that robust inner framework so that you maximise the likelihood of getting the best out of yourself, for you, and more importantly, for others around you. I'm here to impart wisdom, provoke new thinking, help unravel your knots, give you clarity, empower your self-awareness and engineer for you, a powerful new lens to see far into your future"

Most of our episodes will exist in the context of a season, where we take a deep dive one essential subject at a time

We'll also incorporate insightful conversations with special guests, panelists and others who can add real value

You can expect me to bring you the most important learnings from 25 years experience as an authority in this space. We'll have some laughs also and try not to take things too seriously when we don't need to. You can expect me to be the real me. I'm not here to impress you. I'm here to help you

So there it is. That's a little taste of what you can expect from APG Talks. I hope you will join me on the journey beginning in Episode #1 of Season #1

Why do some organisations fail while others succeed? What's the secret sauce to maintaining a thriving business? In the first episode of APG Talks, we uncover the critical role that leadership plays in an organisation's decline and potential failure. We dissect 12 headline reasons and ways that leadership contributes to organisational failure, focusing on three key reasons: leadership incompetence, failure to plan well, and failure to strategise well. We emphasise the importance of team selection, the costs of picking the wrong people, and the time and money spent in retraining when a wrong hire is made. We also emphasise the importance of effective planning and strategising for the success of organisations.

But that's not all! We'll also delve into the concept of season mismatch – the idea that different phases of an organisation's growth require different types of leaders, and how a mismatch in leadership style can have a negative effect on the organisation. We examine the effects of a leader with a controlling personality and the disempowering consequences that can arise. Join us as we navigate the complexities of leadership and its impact on organisations, providing valuable insights for anyone involved in a leadership role or working within a team. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the intricacies of leadership and organisational failure – tune in now!

Have you ever been part of an organisation that left you feeling drained, micromanaged, and unappreciated? In this eye-opening episode, we reveal the stark difference between hierarchical and distributed power dynamics within leadership, and how this affects the overall health of an organisation. By examining two analogies - "kings versus fathers" and "soldiers versus sons" - we'll help you better understand which style of leadership is more effective and whether it's time to reevaluate your current organisation's environment.

We also discuss the destructive relational dynamics of leaders that can lead to an organisation's decline. You'll learn how controlling, power-hungry leaders can stifle morale and suppress the strengths of their team members, and how this type of leadership can leave you with a sense of dread and apprehension. Furthermore, we delve into the dangerous drift towards narcissism that can occur as an organisation experiences success, causing leaders to develop an inflated sense of self-importance. In contrast, we highlight the importance of humility, lifting others up, and the attitude of custodianship to keep an organisation thriving. Don't miss out on these valuable lessons to help you recognise and navigate the complex world of leadership and organisational dynamics.
