CEOs with a verbally abusive leadership style have a profoundly negative effect on an organization’s top management team (TMT), undermining innovation and performance, according to an Academy of Management Journal article. What’s more, abusive CEOs at organizations that engage in more philanthropic initiatives have even worse effects on TMTs, hampering innovation and performance even more.

I’ve been a passionate advocate for creative people throughout my career. As a songwriter, musician, record producer, label owner and music publisher, I have always instinctively understood the importance of mutually beneficial creative collaborations and the multifaceted benefits of providing genuine opportunities for other people to advance their careers too. I was actively building “circular, sustainable economies” long before I knew there was actually a technical definition for them and I certainly had no notion of being a contributor to what is now deemed “The Creative Industries.”   What others refer to as “The Creative Industries” represents “another day at the office” for me and much of what has now attained very impressive official and sounding descriptions has always been fundamental to what I do on a daily basis. The Creative Industries are important economic “engines” that deliver substantial revenues to the UK coffers (not to mention an essential facilitator of invaluable social wealth), so I am absolutely delighted to discover the tremendous work being done by people like Leigh Natasha Salter and her Team Creative Industries Property Summit (CIPS) who are facilitating meaningful discussions and collaborations designed to encourage further growth in what remains a seriously underfunded and underrepresented sector.   I am grateful that I have been invited to share some ideas and thoughts with like-minded people. I will be speaking at an inaugural event hosted by Movers & Shakers named the: “Creative Industries Property Summit” (26th June 2024 at Kings Place, 90 York Way, London, N1 9AG). The theme for the event is “The Creative Economy - A key driver for UK Growth + the Power for Better Places and Lives.” The mere fact that such an event is taking place at all is a very encouraging sign that influential people are starting to recognise the underutilised potential of the Creative Industries and are interested in exploring ways to contribute in a substantive way.   CLICK HERE <https://lnkd.in/en4G4Hx5> for more information. I encourage you to attend and to use the opportunity to network with individuals who are seldom in the same place, at the same time and for a common purpose aimed at improving the prospects of creative people in the UK. #MusicJustice #Creativity #Community #Regeneration #Music #Enterprise #SocialValue #MoversandShakers

Sage advice on the topic of "thought leadership." 1. Avoid jumping on a bandwagon. ↳ if someone else is already all over a specific POV, you better be fresh and unique or you're not a thought leader, and it could backfire and people will think you're stale or lack awareness. 2. Don’t neglect the data. ↳The importance of using research and data to drive thought leadership ensures you’re not totally guessing what resonates with audiences. 3. Don’t rely solely on your founder's personal passion. ↳ Passion-focused pitches lead to irrelevance for the audience and media if it’s not aligned with your business goals. I have examples of topics founders have chased the coverage in this regard. ↳Be real. Shift Comms nailed it!
