Covid-19: Responding to the crisis - a leader's handbookGraham Watson
This document summarizes the key findings from facilitated video conference networking sessions with over 20 CEOs and senior executives from various countries and sectors. Some of the main findings included:
1) Internal ways of working have changed, with different roles coming to the fore, productivity increasing in some cases, and it being harder to gauge employee morale without in-person interactions.
2) Doing business externally has become more difficult, with less opportunities for chance interactions and relationship building. Remote negotiations and business development also present new challenges.
3) Innovation is happening rapidly as companies find new ways to use technology, automate processes, and reconfigure operations in response to the crisis. Both structured and unstructured innovation is occurring.
Leading virtual teams in times of disruptionGraham Watson
The document discusses best practices for leading virtual teams during times of disruption. It recommends encouraging more open information sharing to help bond team members. It also suggests using experience sampling apps to take the emotional temperature of virtual teams and detect any outliers. While introverts can work well alone, including extraverts on teams can help maintain connections. Leaders should take advantage of opportunities for face-to-face meetings to rebuild social bonds weakened by virtual interactions.

developments and help them look ahead.
AGM Transitions challenges for our clients in 2017Graham Watson
Career strategies need to be more adaptable to change. Messaging must clearly express one's skills and fit with target opportunities and organizations. Successfully operating across borders requires additional focus given political pressures. Succession planning is crucial for business continuity as leaders must retain knowledge and strengthen relationships through leadership transitions. Reputations must be proactively managed, and social media presence is now essential, as careers are increasingly shaped by online profiles and networks.

Understanding the Quality and Functions of the Golfer-Caddie relationshipGraham Watson
The document summarizes research on the golfer-caddie relationship. It discusses:
1) Twelve professional golfers and caddies were interviewed to understand the nature and quality of their relationships and how it impacts performance.
2) Relationship development varied, but most golfers adapted to a new caddie within a few weeks while caddies took up to a week. Longer relationships were seen as most successful due to strong ties and understanding developed over time.
3) Caddie experience and pre-existing family relationships helped accelerate relationship development for partnerships with less time. The interviews explored relationship quality, maintenance, and the link to performance.

Mary Meeker's 2014 Internet Trends report outlines key trends in internet usage and technology. Global internet and mobile users continue to grow rapidly, especially in developing markets, while mobile data traffic is accelerating. Tablet unit growth remains strong at 52% annually. Mobile advertising spending is growing quickly and now accounts for 11% of total internet advertising. Cyber threats are also intensifying. The report provides updates on technology stocks, venture capital funding levels, and trends in education costs and outcomes in the United States.
This report examines why Scottish golfers have been largely absent from the top of world golf rankings. It finds that Scottish golfers often set goals that are too low and don't work hard enough on the right aspects of their game. They are also often ill-prepared for the demands of professional golf. The report recommends a 'no limits' pilot project to help elite Scottish golfers set higher goals and develop a winning mindset needed to consistently compete at the highest levels of professional golf.
