This Episode: `The Highlights of 2021`

In this very special New Year’s edition of The HR Uprising, Lucinda talks about her personal top ten moments from the podcast in 2021, and presents a special selection of clips to illustrate what an impactful and insightful year 2021 has been.

Key Takeaways

Short term thinking generally comes down to a cultural issue. Many managers, if they have a role to fill, do not have the breadth of knowledge required to make informed decisions.
Scientists have proved that we have more chance of being hit by lightning than we have of being someone who can survive on next to no sleep.
We assume that if someone is doing a great job then they must know it. But this isn’t always the case. As managers, we must be diligent in providing feedback.
There are ways in which we cause unnecessary stress and overwhelm for ourselves. This is because we have not naturally been taught to perform brain hygiene. It’s similar to a toddler being overstimulated who grows tired when overloaded.

Best Moments

‘There’s a classification of managers being talent producers’

‘Everything we learn in a day is consolidated when we sleep’

‘Diversity comes from this compliance’

‘It’s really important, to deliver that feedback’
