About this listen
We’re back for episode two of A Little Bit Forward — short, five-minute episodes designed to wake up your brain, start the new year fresh, and provoke new ways of thinking about the things we usually take for granted.
In this episode, Simon Waller takes aim at our growing reliance on mandates in organisations and the public sector. He explores how mandates are often used to create quick action, but can just as easily shut down engagement, curiosity, and genuine commitment.
Using familiar examples, Simon invites listeners to pause and notice where “being told” replaces real understanding — and what that costs us in the long run. This episode isn’t about answers, but about questioning the tools we reach for most readily, and whether they really move us forward.
Five minutes. One idea. A small nudge to think differently — and move, just a little bit forward.
