The conversation featured Tom Rowley talking about Ellie Hughes at River Group Publishing. Tom Rowley is the editor of Healthy for Men and Ellie, the editor of Healthy magazine, the customer magazines from Holland & Barrett. As well as a thriving magazine Tom presides over a terrific podcast series, also called Healthy for Men, which won Best Branded Podcast at The Publisher Podcast Awards earlier this year. It’s a beautifully calm and peaceful conversation with a philosophical air to it. As well as covering three ‘brilliant boss behaviours’ we touch on imposter phenomenon and running valuable team meetings
The three brilliant boss behaviours Tom chose:
1. Leading by example
2. Giving everyone a voice
3. Highlighting people’s strengths
The most regrettable line manager behaviour Tom chose (not from Ellie): intimidation.
The one people manager Tom would like to be common practice: sitting down with direct reports once a month to talk about how they are (a conversation in addition to regular work-focussed 1:1s)
