“Not everything urgent is important.”

And not everything important gets the attention it deserves.

Prioritisation is a leadership behaviour.

Compass Toolkit: The Eisenhower Matrix

The Eisenhower Matrix is a simple way to prioritise tasks by separating what is urgent from what is important.

Many people spend their time reacting to urgent work, leaving little space for the things that truly move work forward.

The matrix divides tasks into four categories:
• Urgent and important – do
• Important but not urgent – schedule
• Urgent but not important – delegate
• Neither – remove

How to use it:
Take 5 minutes at the start of your day or week to map your tasks into these four areas. It can quickly highlight where your time and attention are really going.

Compass Toolkit: Circle of Control

The Circle of Control helps people focus energy on what they can influence rather than what they cannot change.

When teams face uncertainty, it’s easy for attention to drift towards things outside their control.

The model separates:
• What we control
• What we can influence
• What we cannot control

How to use it:
When facing a challenge, list the issues you’re thinking about and place them into these three areas. Then focus your effort where you have the most ability to act.

Earth Day feels a little different this year. The world feels noisy right now. Uncertainty. Volatility. Big questions about the future.

Days like today can easily become symbolic gestures. A post. A logo change. A few green hashtags. But this year’s theme reminds us of something important:

Our Planet. Our Power.

Power is not only about influence or authority. It is about responsibility for the systems we are part of and the choices we make within them.

In leadership conversations we often talk about performance, delivery and results.
Leadership also includes stewardship. Creating organisations where people think long term.
Where decisions recognise their wider impact. Where curiosity shapes action and responsibility guides direction. The future of our planet is shaped by collective choices.
The future of our organisations is shaped the same way.

Earth Day is a reminder that power lives in what we choose to do next. 🌍

Compass Toolkit: The Ladder of Inference

The Ladder of Inference describes how quickly we move from observing facts to forming beliefs and taking action.

Often, we think we are responding to reality when in fact we are responding to the story we’ve created about it.

The ladder moves from:
Data → Interpretation → Assumptions → Conclusions → Actions

How to use it:
When a situation feels tense or confusing, pause and ask:
• What facts do we actually know?
• What assumptions might we be making?
• Are there other possible explanations?

This simple pause can change the quality of conversations and decisions.

“If people don’t feel safe, they don’t contribute.”

Psychological safety isn’t about comfort. It’s about contribution.

When people speak early, teams think better. When they stay silent, risk arrives late.

Many teams don’t have a thinking problem.

They have a speaking up problem.

“Silence is rarely agreement. It’s often fear.”

When people hold back ideas, risks, or different perspectives, performance narrows quietly. Psychological safety creates the conditions where contribution happens early rather than afterwards.

Sometimes meetings become difficult because people are thinking about the same problem in very different ways.

One person is asking for data.

Another is highlighting risks.

Someone else is generating ideas.

The Six Thinking Hats, developed by Edward de Bono, is a simple way to structure thinking so teams can look at a decision from multiple perspectives.

Each hat represents a different way of thinking:

White – Facts and information
Red – Feelings and intuition
Black – Risks and caution
Yellow – Benefits and opportunities
Green – Creativity and ideas
Blue – Process and direction

A simple way to use it:

Work through the hats one at a time so everyone focuses on the same type of thinking.

It often leads to clearer discussions and more balanced decisions.
