How to Shake Up Your World
Episode description
Rob shares his insights and discoveries for this week in the hope that you will share, absorb, learn, understand or be inspired by at least one of the lessons in your leadership position. After listening to an interview with Gary Neville, former Manchester United Player of 600 games, England International player and now a respected TV football presenter, Rob has picked out some points that he has taken from this unusually outspoken discussion.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Neville’s work ethic was very evident. Phrases such as ‘leave nothing on the pitch’ and ‘the only thing in life we have to offer is hard work’ were scattered throughout the interview.
- We need to have a place of safety in order to grow successfully and regroup. Neville had this as part of his team. His support structure was rigid, family-based and unquestionable.
- Rob is reading The Gulag Archipelago: An Experiment in Literary Investigation, a three-volume non-fiction text written between 1958 and 1968 by Russian writer and Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, which covers the writers’ and others’ experiences in the Soviet Gulag system.
- The sort of courage epitomised by characters such as Muhammad Ali proves that people can shake up the world. And you can shake up your world too.
BEST MOMENTS
‘He just got up day after day after day and did it again and again and again. He talked about ‘finding a way to win’ and I don’t mind saying that it pricks my conscience a little bit because when I look back it made me look at the times and think ‘could I have done more?’’
‘He talked about his dad primarily. How he used to call his dad on the phone three or four times a day.’
‘And, ladies and gentlemen listening to this podcast, you have no idea what’s inside people unless you find out. You have no idea, more to the point, what’s inside you.’
‘Not only did Muhammad Ali achieve great things in the ring he stood up for what he believed in.’
