I’m thrilled to share the latest episode of the Thriving Leaders Podcast, featuring an insightful conversation with Claire de Carteret, Managing Director of Gallup APAC. If you’ve ever wondered what truly drives high performance in teams, this episode is a must-listen.

Gallup is renowned for its global research on engagement, wellbeing, and leadership. Claire brings the data to life with real-world strategies that leaders can apply immediately. We talk about the 12 conditions required for high performance, how to shift away from outdated hierarchies, and why "having a best friend at work" is more than just a feel-good phrase.

In this episode, we cover:

– The evidence behind Gallup's definition of engagement and how it's linked to high performance

–The enduring power of the Q12 elements—and what makes them still relevant today

– Why most engagement strategies fail (and what to do instead)

– The four key needs of followers and how great leaders meet them

– How to create meaningful conversations that drive trust, stability, and hope

One of my favourite takeaways? Claire’s simple but powerful strategy: One meaningful conversation a week. That alone can shift the dynamic of your team. If you're committed to building a thriving team culture, this episode will give you fresh ideas and evidence-based frameworks to do just that. I’d love to hear what resonates with you.
