Episode 101: Time and Urgency

Author: And Evolve Ltd July 8, 2024 Duration: 14:25
Welcome to our first podcast which is simultaneously being broadcast via the standard podcast channels, as well as for the first time, our YouTube channel. In this episode, Amrit shares his reflections having been to the Nudgestock event organised by Ogilvy, celebrating all things Behavioural Science. From the event, Amrit shares insights from a talk by Oliver Burkeman, the author of the book Four Thousand Weeks. It turns out that from the day we are born, until the average lifespan of most individuals, that's all we have on this earth - four thousand weeks! Join Amrit as his considers what this means and how it might help us focus on all that is important to us, rather than getting caught up in all that seems urgent.

At the heart of every successful company are the people who show up every day, and Engaging People, Powering Companies-The Leadership Podcast digs into the human dynamics that make organizations thrive. Hosted by And Evolve Ltd, these conversations move beyond abstract theory to examine the real, often messy, work of building great workplace cultures and effective leaders. You’ll hear practical explorations of how genuine employee engagement is fostered, why the employee experience directly impacts results, and what it takes to develop talent at every level. This podcast serves as a resource for anyone curious about the intersection of leadership, learning, and the social fabric of work-from managers seeking to improve their team's productivity to individuals invested in their own growth. Each episode considers how relationships and intentional management shape our professional environments, ultimately linking personal development to organizational health. It’s a thoughtful look at the systems and conversations that power modern companies, grounded in the belief that business is, fundamentally, a human endeavor. Tune in for perspectives that are as much about culture and self-improvement as they are about bottom lines.
