Leading with Systems, Truth, and Tough Love — with Tasneem Bhamji

Ever felt like you’re drowning in tasks, targets and noise — while still trying to be a decent human at work?

This week I sit down with Tasneem Bhamji — strategist, transformation leader and founder of Office Real Talk. She knows what it takes to lead under pressure and still bring people with you.

We talk about:

• The hard skills no one teaches (exec papers, chairing, speaking up)

• Why one-to-ones are the non-negotiable heart of leadership

• Building systems and frameworks that stop you being run by the to-do list

• How to get followership and the underestimated edge of being easy to work with

This is leadership without the gloss. It’s tough love, practical tools and a reminder that strategy and humanity are one and the same.

If this hits a nerve and you want support, reach out — I coach executives and teams on exactly this.
