1. The “work from home” issue isn’t about location; it’s about trust.
2. The worst time to offer someone a promotion is when their notice has already been handed in.
3. Culture extends beyond bean bags and free beer. It’s about values and behaviour.
4. Employees don’t just leave bad jobs; they leave bad managers.
5. If your team hesitates to say “I don’t know” or simply disagree with you, it’s time to address those glaring issues.
6. Regularly giving feedback leads to 4x better employee engagement.
7. Pay employees what they’re worth. Otherwise, your competitors will.
8. An “entry-level” role that requires years of experience is not entry-level. You’re simply shortchanging experienced workers with a lower salary.
9. Micromanagement does not work. Trust your team and give them autonomy.
10. Sick days or family emergencies shouldn’t count as annual leave, be empathetic and let them prioritise health.
