Be A Dictator But Be A Nice One
Episode description
After watching Pete Thomas' “Finding Jack Charlton”, a comprehensive and detailed biographical documentary of the legendary football manager, Rob finds himself inspired to share some of the lessons Jack has learned through his extraordinary life. One of the standout lessons being you don't have to be abrasive to be an effective leader but you do need to be firm.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- To lead you have to express your own beliefs and values and have these actioned and followed throughout your team, organisation or business.
- This does not require you to be detached and distant however. You can still show care for your people and guide them gently and considerately.
- Keep your message simple and direct. People tend to avoid complexity so avoid over complicating concepts and issues.
- Try to focus on the positive traits in peoples characters and skills and overlook as much as possible any negativity that can be considered a triviality. Ignore minor irritants that crop up in your relationship with your team.
BEST MOMENTS
‘That was one of Jack's maxims. He was by definitions simple and direct.'
‘We don't look for complexity. We have complexity thrust upon us by our society.'
‘The superpower of kindness. That's what Jack had in bucketloads.'
‘He created a team spirit by allowing people to be who they were.'
