In this week's #founderhacks we look at Turnaround.

Can you develop the discipline to focus on controlling the controllable when you are turning things around? Removing those emotions and frustrations, rage, or anger that can paralyse us might prompt us not to fight back but to fight forward.

In this week's #founderhacks we look at Reaping what you sow.

Do you keep your reputational bank account a healthy balance? You never know when you may find yourself making a withdrawal when you need it the most. Do you appreciate messages of support? Are you someone ready to send a message of support when a friend or a colleague needs it. Could you build it into the culture of your business so your whole team can learn to show gratitude and help everyone to feel part of your mission. 

In this week's #founderhacks we look at Engineering.

When do you need to step in and engineer a new approach? How do we engineer a deal? Finding a way to shine a light with little and often and create a new rhythm can throw challenges into a whole new relief. 

In this week's #founderhacks we look at Legacy.

What is the legacy you want to leave? Your role is to find yourself better at everything. Can you replace yourself? Are you a founder with a shelf life? Overcoming the the 10 year mark seems to be a curious challenge for many entrepreneurs. Do you take the time to reflect and make sure you do make the right choice to step away from your business and move onwards?

In this week's #founderhacks we look at Time and a Place.

What does it take for a business to endure? Does place affect your brain? Is different thinking always something of inherent value. Could you leverage place to break your patterns and generate newness and energy and discover what that could offer you?

In this week's #founderhacks we look at Getting it wrong.

Who is your tribe to test where you are? A trusted inner circle perhaps who you trust to believe in you, but also to be honest with you and keep you grounded. Being open to challenge may perhaps also help you have the best chance of not getting it wrong and surrounding yourself with people who look and think like you and only want to agree with you might not always be the best choice.

In this week's #founderhacks we look at Bide your time or Blow up the room.

Do you force a resolution or wait for things to naturally come to a head? AI will transform our working lives and our societies within our lifetime so how do we engage with these technologies, these huge paradigm shifts?

In this week's #founderhacks we look at Interpersonal.

Do you listen with your eyes? Do your team look and feel ready to win? How can you play your part in making sure that they are? Do you speak emotion? Can you use a textured understanding of emotion to gather more data and make better decisions?

In this week's #founderhacks we look at Feedback Revisited.

What do you want? Do you know? Is it critical for you as a founder of a business to be clear about what you want in terms of the relationship with your business and your expectations of those within it? Can you make a commitment to learn how to give feedback brilliantly well?

In this week's #founderhacks we talk about Coping with the Imperfect.

Can you dispel the myth of the perfect employee? How do you manage your natural instinct to make the fundamental attributional error? Can we assess our staff as we do ourselves?

In this week's #founderhacks we look at Clarity.

How do you contract with your team? There is always that initial opportunity to put on the table the realities of being part of a business and a team. How do you feedback to your team and does the feedback have the impact that you intend? How do you measure that? Do you balance your criticism and celebration?

In this week's #founderhacks we talk about Changing the Lens.

When the fields you plough go from fertile to baron, how do you change lenses? Leading from good times to the bad is of course a challenge to your leadership and how do you manage that shift of perception that is going to determine that outcome?

In this week's edition of #founderhacks we talk about the entrepreneurial Butterfly Effect.

How do you allow teams to take control and make an impact? Are you direct?  Is there a knock on effect? Can a small change in mindset have a butterfly effect for your business? Could you and your business become better at solving problems in the long term?

As our 2nd series continues we bring you the concept of "choosing the right attitude".

As a founder / entrepreneur do you have to choose your attitude dependant on the situation you find yourself in?

We would love you hear your thoughts....

So, as the Beatles once sang, this is Christmas. After another challenging year for many of the world's small businesses we decided to take a look back at some of the things we didn't have time to talk about during 2021 and celebrate some of the good stuff.

Let's face it, we all encounter injustices in our lives and businesses on a regular basis. In #founderhacks this week, our 50th edition no less, we dissect the thorny issue of how, when and if we chose to fight them.

This week on #founderhacks we bounce around ideas on the topic of reframing our thoughts to gain deeper perspectives.
