We’ve spent the summer in rooms with leaders, teams and organisations, and we keep noticing the same thing. The problem is rarely the strategy, the structure, the software or the org chart. It’s the conversations that aren’t happening.

• Teams who’ve worked together for years and couldn’t tell you what each other actually care about.
• Managers doing one-to-ones that are really status updates.
• Away days full of icebreakers everybody cringes at.
• Leaders who genuinely want to know how people are doing, and have absolutely no idea how to ask without it sounding like a performance review.

Better conversations are the cheapest performance intervention available to you.

Use them in team meetings, one-to-ones, away days, inductions, kitchen conversations, or on the train home with a colleague you’ve never really spoken to. Pull one card. Ask the question. See what happens.
