Talent is Important, But... With Guest Tony Walmsley

When someone is struggling at work, it’s easy to assume they lack the talent, skills or effort needed to succeed. But what if the environment, conditions, leadership or individual differences are affecting how that talent shows up?

In this guest episode, we explore why people can perform differently in different circumstances, the importance of being curious before judging, and how small changes can make a meaningful difference.

We also look at leadership strategies for developing talent, creating a culture where people can do their best work, and why looking beyond skills may reveal a very different picture.
