BY MICHAEL TINGSAGERβ
Five minutes each week that could change your leadership and Γ658business forever.
LATEST EPISODE
My latest guest was Matt Tebbit, Head of Bars and Dining at the University of Reading.
I was super excited to have this conversation as I'm very big fan and believer in the "Menus of Change" framework which the University of Reading is spearheading in the UK.
We delve into the university's approach to food and menus and what they have learned from doing things differently. The conversation also covers the challenges of implementing sustainable and ethical food practices in food service.

MINI-UNIVERSITY
For years, I have been studying what makes Mavericks leaders successful.
β
Through hundreds of interviews and lots of deep research, I have identified a common set of behaviours among them.
β
A key one is a strong level of humility.
β
When I started to ask myself 'how can I practice and apply more humility to my life?', a big shift happened in my way of seeing and operating in the world.
β
So what is humility really?
β
Humility is a quality that is often overlooked in leadership, but it is of the utmost importance to cultivate it to make leadership impactful.
β
It's when you recognise your limitations and accept that you have much to learn and are not infallible.
β
It's a sign of strength and maturity, not weakness.
β
Itβs when you can accept constructive criticism and feedback without becoming defensive.
β
Itβs when you can remain humble and open-minded even in the face of praise and accolades.
β
It's when you can remain grounded in your successes, not allowing yourself to become too arrogant or overconfident.
β
It's essential for personal growth and development, which we should all strive for.
β
As the old proverb saying goes, βPride comes before a fall.β
β
βHow can you practice more humility to become the person you want to be, reach your full potential, and positively impact people, society and the planet?

Wise selfishness vs foolish selfishness.Last week, I was captivated by a Netflix documentary featuring the late Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama titled "Joy." Here, they discuss how to find joy and happiness during troubled times. At some point in the interview, they discuss the need to care for yourself without hurting others.They state that you must take care of yourself, or you can not survive or be helpful to others.But caring for oneself should not hurt others. The Daila Lama brings up...
The Power of Positive Energy.None of us can expect to get through life and work without obstacles. Life and work do not always go our way.But that does not mean you canβt navigate it better. You need more POSITIVE ENERGY.In my work observing what Maverick leaders KNOW and DO, I have found that they see positive energy as THE fuel for driving themselves and their organisation to greatness.When I talk about positive energy, I do not think about the rah-rah kind. I think about:- Optimism.-...
Slow down to go far...In the bustling landscape of entrepreneurship and life, finding the silence and solitude one needs to think clearly can be challenging.In the last few years, I've recognised its profound impact on my life and work.Not only when it comes to coping now but also to ensure I can keep going.Silence is often overlooked in our fast-paced world.It holds the key to bettering ourselves and enhancing our leadership.When we neglect this vital space, the quality of our...
