Curious what's actually holding your leadership development back? It might not be a skills gap. It might be an inner one.

We've written about the Inner Development Goals (IDGs), a framework built on the idea that lasting change starts with the inner capacity of leaders, not just their strategy or skillset.

"My husband walked into the room, coffee in hand, and said ‘There’s some sad news. Dolly Parton is dead!’ My heart clenched in real pain and I started to cry. ‘She lived a good life’ he said. ‘I know it.’

I have wondered how the world will react with her passing for a while now . Personally I will mourn her for her love and humour, her inestimable talent and far reaching generosity. I will mourn the passing of her leadership. I will think long on how love of another, for Dolly, in particular, her long standing husband who most of us know passed last year, and how we can struggle to find our centre when they are gone."

As organisations continue to navigate hybrid and remote work, this research offers an important insight: employee wellbeing is shaped less by proximity and more by culture.

At Dattner Group we have often found the same, that leaders who foster trust, autonomy and meaningful connection can help people thrive, wherever they work.

This research is from the US, but may likely apply to Aussies as well: https://www.colorado.edu/today/2026/08/12/remote-workers-report-highest-well-being-study-7700-employees

Finally a good news story! AI adoption doesn't have to mean workforce reduction.

IKEA's experience shows how organisations can use technology to boost efficiency while creating pathways for employees to learn, grow and contribute in new ways.

Worth a read for anyone thinking about the future of work.
