Presentation
In The Leadership Shift, Matt Taylor takes aim at the uncomfortable truth most organisations avoid: leadership doesn’t fail because people don’t know enough — it fails because the conditions around them make good leadership almost impossible. Drawing on years of hands-on experience designing global leadership programmes, The Leadership Shift is a no-nonsense guide to what really drives leadership behaviour at work. It explores why capable, well-intentioned leaders become cautious, compliant, and risk-averse and how cultures quietly train people to stop thinking, stop challenging, and stop caring. Rather than offering another list of competencies or abstract models, the book focuses on practical shifts leaders and organisations must make to unlock trust, accountability, and performance. It looks at power, permission, psychological safety, decision-making, and the everyday signals leaders send often without realising that shape how people show up. Written for leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone frustrated by performative leadership development, The Leadership Shift is an invitation to rethink how leadership is grown and to create environments where leadership isn’t taught, but lived.

Keeping Up with Change: Design for Mentors, Not Modules - L&D as plumbing, not the fountain—make knowledge flow between people. When the job changes weekly, the old idea of L&D as the “fountain of knowledge” breaks down. In this conversation, Chris Perriton (Head of Learning Pathways) explores how organisations can centre mentors and buddies to keep pace with operational reality. We’ll discuss shifting from expert‑broadcast to peer‑powered learning, making capability visible and social rather than hidden inside content libraries. Expect a candid, people‑first dialogue on culture, governance, and manager enablement—with pragmatic insights for a high‑churn transient workforce.
