You'LL Learn

  • A leader has to have clarity in creating his objectives and see clearly how everybody plays as a team, communicating and being connected together and knowing each member’s strengths and development areas so they interact seamlessly
  • A leader has to be clear about when to push hard and when to pull back because the risk is too high
  • A leader must also think about the culture that he creates within his teams, how much trust he has in them, how much trust they have in each other and what a difference that can make on performance
  • Leaders have an accountability and responsibility in terms of how they handle other people, on how they engage with them and support them because this can have a huge impact both positive and negative on the individual
  • Leaders must understand context and background and invest in discovering that because he/she must never make assumptions about people and their behaviours
  • Leadership is about the being and the doing of leadership and leaders find themselves doing a lot of things to meet KPI’s, quotas and budgets, but often at the cost of not focusing on or engaging with the being of leadership
  • The being of leadership is that emotional connection whether introspective around one’s own emotions or whether it’s the emotional connection between two people or the group – it is important to achieve a balance between the two
  • Being a leader it is important to ask “How do you feel?” and “How do I feel?” because a leader has to connect with himself/herself and trust in the information he/she gets – the more aware the leader is the better
