  • episode 70 - the word is simple

    episode 70 - the word is simple
    May 18 2025
    In this milestone 70th episode of The Word is Leadership I am faced with the random word simple - a concept every leader champions but rarely masters. I argue that far from superficial; simplicity emerges as a strategic balancing act between subtraction and coherence, dissected through analogies that reframe how we tackle complexity. The episode begins by untangling “complicated” from “complex”: a watch, with its myriad parts, exemplifies complication, while a murmuration of starlings - a self-organising system where the whole transcends its parts - embodies complexity. This distinction matters because leaders often misdiagnose challenges, applying subtraction (removing parts) to problems requiring coherence (reimagining relationships). Take the modern washing machine: its labyrinth of settings isn’t inherently flawed - it’s the incoherent user experience that frustrates. Drawing from Apple’s iconic one-button remote, I illustrate how brilliance lies in marrying minimalism with intuitive design. Apple’s engineers didn’t just strip buttons; they reorganised functionality into a seamless menu, proving that simplicity isn’t about less but about clarity. For leaders, this means resisting the allure of endless cost-cutting and instead fostering alignment through purpose - a lesson echoed in last week’s discussion on preserving institutional memory. Packed with actionable insights, this episode challenges leaders to rethink simplification as a dual discipline. Whether streamlining workflows or reigniting team purpose, the path to simplicity demands both the scalpel and the blueprint. Ready to transform complexity into clarity? Tune in and discover why “simple” might just be the most sophisticated leadership tool you’ll wield.

    epsiode 69 - the word is immemorial
    May 11 2025
    In what I hope is another thought-provoking episode of The Word is Leadership, I challenge leaders to combat institutional amnesia by rediscovering their organisation’s founding purpose. The discussion centres on the organisational flip law – the tendency for companies to transition from being “a purpose in search of assets” to “assets in search of purpose” as they grow. This shift creates bureaucratic processes that bury the original mission that once fuelled innovation. The solution lies in in memoriam im memoria– a Latin-inspired principle meaning “no memory in memory of.” Leaders must become organisational archaeologists, reviving core values through founder story rituals. I argue that true leadership requires temporal stewardship – using historical purpose as an “acid test” for modern decisions. Rather than chasing futuristic visions, sustainable success comes from answering: What has been true in your organization since time immemorial?1. In an age of AI disruption, this episode offers a contrarian anchor: the past holds keys to undying relevance. For CEOs, HR directors, and scaling startups, it’s a clarion call to transform dusty archives into living legacies. I hope that this episode will show you how excavating yesterday’s dreams can fuel tomorrow’s breakthroughs – because purpose remembered is future reimagined.
