“You can’t just pay people money and tell them what to do.”

Most companies run on that exact theory, and they call it culture.

Pawel Hajdan is a battle-tested leader in the world of tech. He was headhunted by Google to build Chrome, then worked at Citadel, and now helps founders and CTOs worldwide build exceptional tech teams.

We asked him for one idea- that one thing that separates the companies that struggle from the ones that are successful- and he said two words: tech leadership.

Not the tooling. Not the headcount. The good old unfashionable leadership.

We are extremely proud to announce that Pawel has joined Oxford Talks as a Fellow. Stay tuned for exciting ideas worth doing from him.

Welcome to the club! 🎉

Comment ‘Anisa’ and we will send the full talk straight to you.

We are taught to measure relationships by how long they last, as if the ones that end were failures and only the permanent ones counted.

Anisa Telwar Kaicker offers a gentler way to hold it. Some people are there to help you build a particular chapter of your life, and the fact that they do not stay for the whole book does not make what they gave you any less real. A mentor, a partner, even someone whose leaving hurt. Each can matter without being permanent.

It is the third of the three lessons in her talk, and quietly the hardest to live by.

Comment ANISA for the full talk.

Comment ‘Anisa’ and we will send the full talk straight to you.

Here is an uncomfortable question worth asking about the people you rely on. Do you actually trust them, or have you just not been let down yet?

Most of us cannot tell the two apart until something forces the issue. We lean on how long we have known someone, or the fact that nothing has gone wrong so far, and we call that trust.

Anisa Telwar Kaicker makes the case that it is nothing of the sort, and she learned the difference the expensive way.

Her clip lays out a test that reframes every working relationship you have. Comment Anisa for the full talk.

What do you do when the one thing that saved your life becomes the thing standing between you and your future?

This is the question at the heart of Hema Tallman’s Oxford Talk. She examines the hidden cost of the defences we build to survive, the ones that serve us for years and then quietly start to limit us. Her case is that the work is to notice those defences rather than tear them down, to catch the moment an old reflex makes a call the person you are today would make
differently.

Beyond The Trust Deficit is out now on Youtube.

Straight from Anthony ahead of Monday’s workshop.

He’s been hearing the same thing from founders everywhere: the feed keeps changing, and the work going into content isn’t paying off. His read is that there’s a genuine gap between how modern media works and how the human brain is wired, and most people are fighting it without knowing.

That’s what Monday is about. A small, private workshop for founders discussing the problems he sees businesses hitting right now, and what to actually do about them.

A few tickets left. Monday 3 August, London. Bring what you’re stuck on. Link in bio.

Most founders think their problem is the product.
It’s usually the ninety seconds before anyone gives the product a chance.

Anthony Smith is the Director of Trailers at the Diary of a CEO. His whole job is making a stranger commit hours of their time in the first ninety seconds, and the psychology behind it is the same thing that gets an investor to lean in or a customer to buy.

On Monday, 3 August he’s running a live workshop in London breaking down exactly how it works. Three hours, built for founders, limited places.
Swipe through for three of the ideas behind it.

Comment ‘link’ and we’ll send you the ticket page.
