  • Adaptive Leadership #4: Recommendations - with John Bull
    Oct 22 2025

    “What are the practical things we can take away, now, and do as Adaptive Leaders?”
    That’s the heart of our latest conversation on Adaptive Leadership.

    In this mini-series, MF’s John Bull and Hugh Reynolds explore what it takes to be effective at continually adapting: spotting when change is needed, mobilising people to respond and testing new approaches when the old ones fall short. It’s a timely reminder that in a world of disruption, uncertainty and shifting demands, effective leadership is as much about humility and experimentation as it is about authority.

    Through the series we mention the research of Ronald Heifetz and colleagues, and works by Jim Collins. You'll find more about them and other great sources of interest in our booklist: Adaptive Leadership - Bookshop.org

  • Simon Eastwood on Getting Leadership Skills to Stick
    Jun 3 2025

    Hello, and a very warm welcome to this podcast from Management Futures. I'm Hugh Reynolds, head of digital learning - and in this series, I'm holding some informal conversations with my colleagues, associates and friends. They're all expert practitioners in fields related to - but not restricted to - coaching, culture and inclusive leadership development - all things that enable individuals, teams and organisations to thrive.

    In this episode, we're going to get to know one of our outstanding people. He's Simon Eastwood, and he's head of Leadership Skills.

    Simon is a true master in supporting Leaders and their teams to get from good to great. I wanted to find out how he goes about that, and explore together how he's a huge advocate of "LEARNING BY DOING". So we got together on the deck of the floating harbour studio boat in Bristol where we had a really insightful chat. I hope you enjoy listening to it, as much as we enjoyed making it.

    If you'd like to explore more around this topic or other shared interests, do visit us at www.managementfutures.co.uk. There, you can find lots more really useful content in our Resources section - INCLUDING the "My Feedback Planner" tool, and other cool things Simon, myself and the team here at MF have developed.

    Until next time, take care.
