- In your first book, Talent Liberation, you introduced a new performance management framework. Can you briefly talk us through the 4 elements to the DIRC model?
- What differences or commonalities have you found between workplace challenges and workplace culture in South Africa versus the UK?
- We saw a post by you on social media where you seem to be having a bit of a disagreement with your children’s school and you linked this to leadership and culture and unintended consequences. For folks who haven’t seen the video, what’s it about?
- What are your predictions for future skills requirements in a world where AI and automation really seem to have taken off?
