077: Has AI changed the definition of high performance? In Good Company with Bobby Barry

Every major technology shift creates leverage. AI is that most recent shift. What high performers tend to recognise is that shift earlier than other people. They tend to leverage and incorporate that into how they work before other people and, in doing so, they're the trendsetters that raise the standards for everybody else around them. Bobby Barry, the founder of Condor Consulting and former senior leader at LinkedIn, joins us to explore how AI is reshaping performance, leadership and development. In this episode of In Good Company, Bobby shares why the organisations seeing the biggest gains from AI are focusing on more than technology alone. While most AI conversations focus on tools, automation and efficiency, Bobby argues that leadership, mindset and development will ultimately determine who succeeds in an AI-enabled world. From rethinking what high performance looks like to treating AI as a learning partner, this conversation explores how leaders can help people adapt, develop and thrive through one of the most significant workplace shifts in decades. This episode involves: ✅ How AI is changing what high performance looks like ✅ AI as a coaching and learning partner ✅ Why leaders should see AI as a development challenge ✅ Rethinking the Eisenhower Matrix for the AI era ✅ Leadership behaviours that help people navigate change Bobby Barry is the Founder of Condor Consulting and a former senior leader at LinkedIn, helping organisations turn investments in people and technology into measurable business results. If you're interested in AI, leadership development, learning, performance, organisational change or the future of work, this conversation offers practical insight into how high performers are adapting and why leadership matters more than ever during periods of transformation. 🎧 Listen / watch now to find out more. 🔔 If you like this... why not subscribe to our YouTube and Spotify channels so you never miss an episode of In Good Company?

075: People speak up. Then what? Bystander effect explained: In Good Company with Professor Mark Levine

"The problem wasn't that people weren't speaking up. The problem was that speaking up was never successful."The bystander effect is one of psychology's most famous theories, but according to Professor Mark Levine, much of what we think we know about it is wrong.In this episode of In Good Company, Mark challenges the idea that people are naturally passive in the face of wrongdoing. Drawing on decades of research into helping behaviour, he explores why people often do intervene, why the real challenge isn't getting people to speak up, and what leaders can do to ensure concerns are heard, supported and acted upon.We discuss:✅ The myth of the bystander effect✅ Why people are more likely to help than we think✅ Speaking up versus successful intervention✅ Lessons from the murder of George Floyd✅ How leaders can harness the power of the group✅ Why senior leaders need bystander training tooProfessor Mark Levine is Professor of Social Psychology at Lancaster University and Director of the Lancaster Policing Academic Centre of Excellence.If you're interested in leadership, psychological safety, employee voice, organisational culture or group behaviour, this conversation offers a powerful rethink of what it really takes to create change.Listen / watch now to find out more.🔔 If you like this... why not subscribe so you never miss an episode of In Good Company?

073: How leaders win attention with storytelling - In Good Company with Andrew Panay

Your strategy might be right. But if your story isn't landing, nobody's listening. In this episode of In Good Company, Hollywood producer Andrew Panay - creator of Super Bowl campaigns for Microsoft and T-Mobile and producer of films starring Ryan Reynolds and Bradley Cooper - shares what leaders can learn from storytelling.

068: Understanding change differentials at work - In Good Company with Steph Oerton

One change, many realities - sound familiar? The challenge organisations face today isn’t just change - it’s that the same change creates very different realities. Depending on your role, your life stage, where you work and what you’re measured on, change can feel like opportunity, pressure, freedom or threat. In this episode of In Good Company, Steph Oerton from Network Rail, draws on 30-years experience of leadership development to explores these change differentials - and what leaders need to notice if they want engagement, trust and wellbeing to survive ongoing change. The podcast covers:🚇 Why the same change can feel energising to some and unsettling to others🚇 What reciprocal mentoring reveals about experience, confidence and technology🚇 How leaders carry their role differently🚇 When wellbeing depends on telling it like it is “People need to understand why the change is happening. Creating a compelling vision helps people understand why - and then how they can contribute to that. Often change comes in like stealth and if people don't get it, they don't understand.”Steph OrtonListen / watch now to find out more. 🔔 If you like this... why not subscribe to our YouTube and Spotify channels so you never miss an episode of In Good Company?
