EP49: How to lift up your team by tuning down work

With Charlie Rudd, CEO of Publicis and former NABS Trustee

Charlie Rudd is CEO of Publicis, and a huge NABS supporter – in fact, he was one of our Trustees for nearly ten years.

Charlie’s a big believer in the power of managers to ‘detune’ the pressure at work and feels a keen responsibility to watch out for others at work – something he’s felt since losing a much-loved colleague to suicide in his early career. Charlie’s full of clear and warm wisdom and this is a wonderful chat.

Key takeaways:

  • Looking out for each other matters – watch out for the signs if someone is withdrawing.
  • Mental wellness isn’t a one-size-fits all approach – work out what works for you.
  • Flexibility makes a huge difference. Don’t make it into an issue when it doesn’t need to be one.
