Negotiating Difficult times with Alison Hill CEO of Pragmatic Thinking

This week I caught up with Alison Hill, CEO of three-time AFR Fast 100 company, Pragmatic thinking.   Pragmatic thinking are a behaviour and strategy motivation company who work with organisations to build better leaders and better cultures through their people strategies. Alison shared how business strategies live and die through their people strategies and that teams need to be engaged, lit up and motivated to deliver great business outcomes.  Alison and her team work mainly with company leaders on leadership development, developing a leadership narrative and story that people will want to follow. Plus how to have the critical and tough conversations within teams and people when they aren"t performing or motivated.  Alison finds that having a strong feedback culture can improve a business incredibly plus the impact of culture on performance.  We also discussed how this year during Covid that leadership and team work had affected every company dramatically and going forward companies are going to want to see evidence that leaders had lead virtual teams.  If you are leading a team or you work in HR - Alison shares some great advice about on-boarding team members plus having difficult conversations and providing performance feedback.  This conversation is not to be missed.  You find find Alison and her team: www.pragmaticthinking.com About me:  My name is Samantha McIntyre and after 30 years in business and technology - from starting out on the helpdesk to getting to and staying in the C suite, being on Executive boards and being a mother and entreprenuer!  I am passionate about helping women in their careers.  What I have enjoyed the most in my roles is helping those around me succeed - particularly women!   I have lead technology teams for some of the biggest businesses and brands in Australia and the world such as Tesco, Loreal, Coles, Woolworths and Sportsgirl.
