Have you ever wondered why you get on really well with some people and others just annoy you as soon as they walk in the room?

Recognising the traits and behaviours that you and your colleagues (and friends and family) display will help you get on better together and understand how small changes in behaviour by all parties can transform teams and relationships.

In this episode, Giles Miskin explains more about how this works in a work context and how it leads to new ways of working together.

Giles Miskin
Giles founded The Colour Works International Ltd in 2003, now the largest distributor in the world of the Insights Discovery personal profiling system. The company specialises in team and leadership development programmes for clients large and small all over the world.

Vulnerability-based leadership is what he espouses – having the courage to accept your own fallibilities is a prerequisite to showing the necessary humility that not only allows others in but also enables you to ask for help and value what others bring. Only when we’ve built those respectful, trusting relationships can we truly be said to lead.

Giles loves promoting the interdependence of the ‘hard’ and the ‘soft’ – good emotional intelligence creates constructive working relationships that produce healthy tangible outcomes. For him, this applies to the leaders and leadership teams of large corporates just as much as to those of small start-ups, or indeed to the socially-disadvantaged youngsters he’s chosen to work with through The Colour Works Foundation.
