Lighthouses, Oak Trees and Chimneys
Episode description
From an idyllic perch in the Peak District, Rob shares his personal passion for lighthouses, oak trees and chimneys as analogies for leadership in his imagination. All three are symbols of differing types of strength in the arena of leadership and coaching.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Lighthouses. They stand on the most brutally dangerous, open, exposed places. They are beacons of success in mans ability to create and have longevity and provide safety.
- Oak trees. The grandest and most substantial. Hundreds of years old and have seen lifetimes pass. Create breathable air and shelter.
- Chimneys. Take away unwanted product. Their process provides warmth but their workings are hidden and unnoticed.
- They are all built upward against gravity which symbolises the constant battle of life and growth without complaint.
