Bias might be built in to how our brains work, but that doesn't make it acceptable. When it comes to leadership, biases create a ';sticky floor', making it hard for women to rise to the top. An inclusive culture, by comparison, creates personal, social and economic value that will sustain an organisation's future success. The good news is that the change to gender balance can be accelerated if you know more about how bias works. In this book, Dr Karen Morley explains how biases, particularly the insidious unconscious ones, trip us up. She outlines an approach for minimising their impact in organisations with Bias Busters specific actions you can take with the goal of making it easier to notice, talk about and overcome bias.Beat Gender Bias is for everyone who wants work to be better to make a difference and play a bigger, more satisfying part in creating a more inclusive world!

The subject of organisational culture has become a particularly hot topic in Australia as a result of the recent Royal Commission into misconduct in the financial services industry. However, it is also a hot topic globally with regulators of financial services and other industries increasingly seeking to enforce culture measurement and management and to sanction leaders who do not properly do both - up to and including criminal prosecution. Practically every senior leader is now looking at how to measure and manage culture and is struggling to know how to address it. The somewhat tragic fact is that most of them don''t know what it is, let alone how to manage it. They consistently confuse culture with employee engagement (they are not the same thing!) and are running around trying to solve the wrong problem. We are seeing lots of frantic activity, most of which won''t achieve anything other than making it look like someone is doing something, but almost none of which will result in actual culture change. Meanwhile leaders at all levels in large and small organisations are stuck with dysfunctional teams and need a way to take action immediately that will actually make a difference. Improving the culture of their team will speed up their ability to implement and radically reduce the time they would otherwise spend on managing conflict and dysfunction. This book will show them how.

There have been many approaches to leadership over the years, from command and control to more inclusive styles. Some leaders micro-manage, others are quick to delegate. It is hard for new leaders who are perhaps just starting to manage a team to find the right approach. And equally hard for more experienced leaders who would like to be more approachable and supportive.According to leadership expert, Karen Morley, leaders who coach can double their engagement score. Even more importantly in today's technology-driven, fast-paced world, they can lighten their load and reduce the pressure on themselves.Coaching is all about refocusing how you engage with your team. Leaders who coach: Focus on the team and on developing the members of the team Trust their team and delegate, but are still there to offer support Encourage and applaud Listen to their team's challenges and encourage them to find solutions Ask coaching questions Develop next-gen leaders who pay the coaching approach forward.Lead Like a Coach is for leaders who care about the people they lead; care about their own success; and want to make a positive impact on their stakeholders, their families and their communities. It is packed with practical strategies and case studies making it easy for anyone to start to lead like a coach.
