The importance of head and heart when leading teams, with Margot Faraci of Derwent

Episode Two of the Spiique Up Podcast features Margot Faraci - Managing Partner at Derwent, leading their Financial Services Practice. After starting out as a lawyer Margot’s interest in how people treat each other led her to a career in banking and finance and ultimately senior leadership roles. In this conversation Margot shares her thoughts on how permission to engage in respectful debate can help create a culture of speaking up not simply doing what we’re told, the importance for leaders to regularly ask ‘have I missed anything’, that workplace flexibility is a mindset leaders must embrace in the future and that listening, yet being strong in your decision making, will help optimise outcomes.
