Press Release: Spirit Energy Partners with FidesOak® to Strengthen its High-Performance Culture

Leadership development programmes hold immense potential to transform organisations by equipping leaders with the skills they need to inspire and empower their teams.

Leadership development is not a one-off event but a continuous process that supports leaders as they navigate the complexities of their roles.

In today’s dynamic business environment, effective leadership is crucial for organisational success.

Measuring leadership development is a nuanced process, requiring approaches that consider both the observable and the less tangible aspects of leadership.

Leadership development programmes are essential for cultivating the skills and qualities leaders need to inspire, support, and empower their teams.

Did you know that psychological safety in the workplace could generate massive economic benefits for the UK economy?

In policing, where decisions, actions, and behaviours directly impact public trust, safety, and community relations, culture is foundational.

With nearly 25 years in operational policing and extensive experience, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges and rewards of building high-performing, ethically grounded teams in environments where safety and decision-making are critical.

In high-hazard industries like oil and gas, mining, construction, and renewable energy, safety is essential and regularly cited as an organisational value.

Poor organisational culture has been central to several high-profile scandals in recent years, from FTX to the Post Office. In today’s business landscape, organisations often focus on operational and strategic aspects to deliver value, yet a critical element frequently overlooked is organisational culture.

The global push towards a more sustainable and greener economy has brought mining into sharper focus. As a result, rather than becoming obsolete, mining is at the very epicentre of this global energy transition.

In today’s competitive business environment, leadership that is grounded in compassion, service, and benevolence is increasingly proving its value. This approach, based on authenticity, not only supports employee well-being, but also drives organisational success.

In a recent episode of Everyday People, Extraordinary Performance, we had the pleasure of speaking with Marie Harvey, an Advanced Psychology Practitioner at NHS Grampian.

Systems thinking is a holistic approach to understanding complex environments by examining the interconnectedness and interdependencies of elements within a system. Rather than analysing components in isolation, it focuses on how elements interact and influence each other, shaping the behaviour and outcomes of the system as a whole.

It has been well documented, and discussed, that failure can be a powerful tool for growth and learning. However, there are industries where failure cannot be tolerated due to the significant consequences that may result. So when is it okay to fail, and when it is it not?

My son is of the Xbox generation, and I have noticed his need for more instant gratification and a desire to experience success quickly, particularly now that he is in his subject choice and exam years at school. As he takes on new and unfamiliar learning in his final school years, he appears ‘unsettled’ by his inability to be able to achieve things relatively immediately. Is this result of his gaming experience and has this encouraged a more fixed mindset?

In today's business landscape, organisations often focus on operational and strategic aspects to deliver value. However, a critical element that is frequently overlooked is organisational culture. This oversight can lead to missed opportunities for performance enhancement and result in increased risk exposure.
