The pandemic really brought home the importance of what is fundamental in people management. Adveristy is challenging us to question our decisions, motivations and chosen pathways and makes the blinkered pursuit of our own ambitions seem selfish and futile.So, as we look and plan for the new year, we need to do so with a fresh mind formed from this experience.

Humanity is being tested by some of its greatest challenges and HR has a vital role to play. The one thing the pandemic has taught us is we need to start focussing on our fundamental needs, to prioritise our self-care and look out for each other.

Are you in the habit of defining yourself as introvert or extrovert, this personality or that? Do you realise your predetermined judgements or beliefs may be limiting your growth (fixed mindset)?

Revolution or Renaissance?

The Fourth Industrial Revolution or the Collaboration Age?

The Linear Rational Mindset or the Open Creative (System) Mindset?

In these uncertain times, are we experiencing a similar sequence of events that preceded the Renaissance - the transformative period that introduced the first Creative Age? Populism (autocracy and religious control), pandemics (plague), fake news (witches)…

A country’s level of cultural evolution will indicate the leadership characteristics they vote for – 1. Dependent Impulsive, 2. Reactive Compliant, [Transforming - Goal Oriented Achievement], 3. Independent Collaborative, or 4. Proactive Adaptive. We are witness to the social and economic decline of dependent impulsive cultures where hate, fear, and division is used to weaken and control populations.

So what cultural stage will allow our populations to come together, combine intelligence, build the awareness, and rapidly create the responses to bring balance to a failing planet? What is likely to happen in 20-30 years when Climate Change will force the requirement for adaptive leadership?

Here is an exert from my book published last year.

I will be presenting on at the BrightTALK Transformational HR 2020 summit on Wednesday (August 6 at 5PM AEST) on "Humanising the Workplace for Cultural Transformation Success". In the online presentation I will be introducing the cultural change workshops designed to prepare HR and business leaders to successfully lead an internal culture change program. I will also provide an overview of my behavioural development framework from my book “Best Behaviour” (www.tonyholmwood.com). I hope to see you there.

Recruiting and retaining the best talent has become very difficult as employers compete fiercely to attract top tier applicants. Successfully attracting talent depends on how a company manages the hiring process and keeps them engaged once hired. Employers must enhance the candidate experience to pr...

Here is my latest article published in on how can successfully lead and coach for in their workplace. A special acknowledgement to Adaptive Cultures for allowing me to reference their "Cultural Evolution" framework.

Effective leadership and evolving cultures are widely recognised as imperative to creating healthy, thriving organisations. Companies who score highest on creating an equitable, consistently high-trust culture for all employees achieve 3X higher market returns than those on the bottom.

On this day a year ago I launched my book which sets out an innovative behavioural framework for developing and high performing growth cultures. And I am truly humbled by the response including making the finals of the Australian Business Book Awards and book of the month in Literary Titans & Humanity in Business. And a book review from that says the book has the potential to "reinvigorate the HR Profession", and to "turn your world on its head" (https://bit.ly/3cbed6k).

And in November, an invitation to speak alongside some of the worlds most respected coaches at the World Business & Executive Coach Summit ( ) on "Coaching Leaders as Coaches".

Thanks to all your support over the past year. Onwards and upwards.

My latest article featured in CEOWORLD magazine is very dear to me given I mentor with the Australian HR Institute (AHRI) and with aspiring LGBTQI+ leaders at Out for Australia, StartOut and work with the Sydney Gay and Le***an Business Association (SGLBA). And there are a lot of counter intuitive arguments and learnings for any leader who wants to make more of an impact by being authentic.

If you'd like to learn more about how to develop the qualities of leaders in the top percentile of leaders, then sign up to my presentation at the BrightTALK Global HR "Future of Work Summit" via this link:

If you speak about ingesting disinfectant or taking the Kool-Aid, you probably have not progressed beyond first base in this development model, and engage less than 2% of your potential.

The Balanced Behavioural Development Model (BBDM) brings together Attachment Theory to build self-value and inner strength, appreciates employee circumstances will positively influence personality and uses experiential learning to move beyond comfort zones. The progressive cycle of behavioural learning can achieve an adaptive, full system, leadership capability.

Only 15% of leaders make level 3. If you count yourself an expert, a specialist, successful or directive then you are likely utilising less than 13% of your potential (level 2).

, humility, being humble, socially aware, shared purpose and meaningful relationships define or leaders who achieve level 4 - Influencer.

And this model is so perfectly balanced, it also works for an organisation, a community, in fact, any human system.

According to theHRDIRECTOR, this model, when taken seriously, will potentially turn your world on its head.

To learn more on rapidly transforming your culture with a trusted all-in approach, sign-up to BrightTALK on May 5, 6:00 pm (AEST).
