Humble, humourous and honest.
From East End builder to London Underground Elder, Gary Rogers shares with us his wisdom and experiences in a way which engages and provokes. Why the candy-striped shirt and tie? You may well ask … it’s worth listening to the whole episode to find out! He’s a man with heart, who isn’t afraid to bring it to work and through that achieves great results and a career to match. Now Head of Investigations at Lexan Corporate Services, Gary describes himself as an investigator in workplace conflicts; bullying, harassment, misconduct, investigation into fraud, bribery, corruption allegations and a like.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Procedure and policy
“When you're dealing with people, the trouble is it’s driven by policy and procedure…it's not about people really its about compliance… the challenge is being compliant with a policy to meet every situation”
Current phrases of the moment
“....bring you whole self to work…. Okay that doesn't make much sense…. some people are private. They don't bring their whole self to work. Some people like to keep private life separate. But being human is just being who you are….”
Conflicting priorities
“We’re not practicing what we preach… there are priorities, external factors, pressure that these senior teams face…..I've got a team that supports me. I've got people that will come to me and help me, I've got people I can speak to… so if they're not coming along with me, then I'm going to fail miserably. If they do come along, I'm talking to them, and I know that they can trust me and talk to me and speak to me… I'll be honest and open with them. And suddenly, you've got what we're all looking for, which is a great working team.”
Undervalued vs Respected
“Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to.”.. I love this saying by Richard Branson…
Being Human - it’s not about policy and Procedure
“…It's about treating people as people but to understand that you’ve got to speak to them, and you listen. The only way you can speak to them and understand it, is if you allow them to speak and you listen.”
