Welcoming In. Allowing Loss.
Episode description
Rob relates some fantastic wisdom from the renowned Henri Nouwen, a psychology, social justice, spirituality and community driven philosopher. He has great ideas on team building including welcoming people to a warm, expressive and comfortable community where they can feel free to create their best work.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Rob refers back to a previous episode to demonstrate how he is still learning and being reminded to apply the principles he believes in.
- Look to create a special inner community. You need people different to you in attitude, philosophy, knowledge and thought process so you can tackle the biggest number of situations with the widest variety of solutions.
- Welcome in people, their ideas and skills warmly.
- You cannot know the full impact your words will have in the future. Consider your words carefully and be aware that you may forget what others will remember forever.
- Accept the ups and downs. Don't dwell on difficulties.
- Create a home for you and your people in which they can freely work and feel comfortable. Include rest and recuperation.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Catherine's (Mattiske) message is often that we speak in our own language, and we take in information in a preferred way ourselves, and we give it out in a preferred way, and we miss so many opportunities by doing that.'
‘We don't want to have a team of people that's all the same as us. It's no good having a team of Sir Alex Fergusons. There can only be one Alex Ferguson.'
‘If your path of life takes you through hell, make sure you walk it as if you own the place.'
‘You are trying to facilitate freedom in people so they can be free to do what they are best at, act in their best way possible, so they don't feel restricted.'
‘I was trying to set up international zoom calls in different time zones and I got myself all wound up and stressed out because I was sending out invitations to different people in different time zones. In all honesty it was a bit of an embarrassment. I didn't try to defend myself, I didn't make excuses. I just said, hey look, I'm really sorry I messed up, can we try again? Be vulnerable.'
