Description

In this episode, host James Lawther and Jimmy Barber discuss some common 'corporate myths' that hinder performance at work. 

They explain that while targets will drive performance, it necessarily result in the performance you want, the fallacy that senior management has all the answers, and the misconception that long hours equal productivity. They also highlight the value of small, tactical improvements over big strategic projects, the benefits of treating suppliers as partners, and how introverts can make exceptional leaders. The episode wraps up with a reflection on social media perceptions versus reality, emphasising the need to focus on genuine rather than perceived performance. If you have any 'corporate myths' that you'd like debunking then please get in touch!

And we also learn what James has in common with Pedro Pascal, and it's not highbrow French films!
