Delusion of Trust is Compromising Growth

Do you have absolute trust among your ownership and leadership teams? Do not answer yes too quickly. Every organization tells me they have trust, yet most do not. There has been no research around how much money lack of trust costs organizations every year, but I am confident that you can increase your revenue and profits substantially by facing this issue. If you have cracks in trust you are missing the foundation to teamwork and will find it impossible to achieve peak performance in your organization.

Why everybody lives by selling something – part 2

For some time now I have been testing the concept of ‘everybody lives by selling something' with almost everyone I meet, including senior leadership teams (comprising of HR, Finance, IT, Operations, and Sales), primary school teachers and administration staff, senior banking risk professionals, and health professionals (including my podiatrist and GP). I am curious to see how people respond and how they see themselves in relation to the concept of ‘everybody lives by selling something'. Often when one mentions the words ‘selling' or ‘sales' you can see people visibly recoil in disgust, with many immediately saying something like "I don't sell" or "It's not my job".

Urgency

Doing lots of things, multi-tasking and running yourself and the people around you hard is exhausting. But after all the sweat and agitation at the end of every day -- you can't necessarily say that you've created the constructive urgency that moves groups to bigger and better things. You need to re-assess, to create urgency that works for you, for the individuals you lead, and for the organizations you aim to take into the future.

Building a Leadership Team - Part 3

Talent is necessary for building a winning leadership team, but talent is not sufficient. You can recruit the very best in every functional area of responsibility in your organization, but unless they work well together, you will fail to create sustainable value. And in a competitive environment, you will lose to teams with far less talent if they work well together but you don’t. There is a tongue in cheek axiom that comes as a corollary to this – “I’d rather be lucky than good.” If you believe in blind luck, go with God and stop reading. If you believe we make our own luck, I’d like to share three principles for creating a great leadership team and some practical insights into each: agreement on the mission, clear communication, and balance. Part 3 = Balance

When The Leader Speaks...

When great leaders speak, things happen! People become engaged. Teams gel. Customers are served. Problems are solved and products are invented. Such is the power of a leader’s communication. So important is communication that it is difficult to find a leadership text that does not devote a significant portion of its pages to the topic. Unfortunately, most such works present communication as simply another important leadership competency up there with project management and strategic thinking. Communication is not a leadership competency; it is your leadership. Leadership and communication are synonymous; virtually all of one’s leadership is manifest through communication. As James C. Humes wrote: “Every time you speak, you are auditioning for leadership.”
