Good Evening Friends!
Having spent some good time learning about Steemit and how it is revolutionising the nature of social media, I feel it is the place that I’m deeply excited about being involved with. Even just reading the introductions has been inspiring and my only hope is that I can match the level of thought and energy that is demonstrated!
My wife and I live and work in London. We find it a hard place to live, yet also exhilarating and fascinating, but our cross-cultural background (she is Swiss, I am British-South African) stands us in good stead to understand the nuances and subtleties of living in this great city.
Nevertheless, I am fascinated by the intersection between culture and business, creativity and innovation. More specifically, where leadership culture affects financial outcomes. It is these relational grey-areas, these unquantifiable drivers and leadership nuances that intrigue me. I hope to communicate some of my learnings and observations here on Steemit so as to benefit anyone who reads what I offer, in order that the environment in which you exist becomes a more integrity driven and generous space to exist.
This is just the start of the adventure as I set out to make my thoughts more accessible, so welcome! Further down the line I hope to create short videos and articles focussed on leadership and culture-creation. Finally, any insight into this conversation, from whatever context you come from, is so welcome because I am committed to learning from whatever I can!
Hopefully this short video will give you a taste of who I am:
Great intro, welcome to Steemit Jonny!
Thank you!
Fantastic intro Jonny! I am interested to read your thoughts in upcoming videos and articles.
Just to connect with you people of similar interest - you may find @hilarski intriguing. I think you guys would gel with the leadership and culture creation interests you have.
Morning @lydon.sipe! Thank you for the heads up, I've followed @hilarski so will go have a browse! am still getting the hang of this platform so really appreciate the help and friendliness of everyone so far!
Welcome to Steemit! @jonnymiddleton :D
Welcome to Steemit! ^_^
Welcome to Steemit.
How leadership culture affects financial outcomes and the state of companies is an interesting topic. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.
Hi, thanks so much for the reply, would love to see and chat about some of those insights. I've followed you to learn!
I havent been writing about it but its an interesting topic. Particularly the short term, short sighted financial rewards and churn there is in Senior Management positions. In many companies today its about cutting costs, getting ROE and forgetting about the long term future of the company, the employees and whether the current situation is sustainable. The senior Execs will have their bonuses and be gone before the music stops. I must write about this in more detail.
Unfortunately I think it's pretty endemic across business. Like you say, most of the focus is on short term gain and fixing things quick as opposed to taking a long term, relational and sustainable view point. I think it's fair to say that creating a powerful and sustainable culture requires a minimum of three years before it yields fruit, however, the wealth created is vastly more improved in the long term...
Hello Jonny, welcome to Steemit! :-)
Nice to meet you @gtg!

Welcome! I love London, so I'm envious!
I live on Vancouver Island, Western Canada.
@dragon40 yes it's a great city! Where is your home?
Welcome Johnny, glad you have joined us here!
Welcome Jonny! Great to see some more Brits joining steemit. Enjoyed watching this ... you had better be on 'open mic' soon! There is a group on FB called aspiring whales and dolphins. Good for general community and support for ... whatever. If you are interested, click here
Hope to catch up soon!
Hello @ebryans! It seems like steemit is really unknown here in the UK and it's a great opportunity to pioneer something here a bit! Thanks for the heads up about the whales and dolphins group, I'll go have a look and see how to get stuck in! Otherwise, take care and I'll be following you right away.
That's a powerful intro! Congrats and welcome to Steemit!
I've never been to London so far, so I hope to learn more about it.
Keep us posted!
Following you :-)
