KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There is nothing to fear and the days of ruling by fear are gone. Show by example and don't let fear rule you or your colleagues.
- Dare to be different and unique in your management style. Your players or team will all be different too. Celebrate those differences.
- Teach your people that the answer to what they are looking for lies within them. It is their effort and journey and as a leader you are there to guide them, not achieve for them.
- People make mistakes. Mistakes are part of progress. Don't dwell, learn and continue.
- There will be pain, defeats, wounds, and disappointment. Learn to live alongside those things. Have patience.
- Teach people to be grateful for their strengths. Encourage, cultivate, showcase, present and reinforce the strengths in your people.
- Choose responsibility. There will always be an easy path but be aware that the higher path will give better experience and rewards.
- When listening, be fully present. Engage with people by eye contact, encouragement and show interest fully. Be available for people.
- There is no such thing as a ‘little problem'. Details make all the difference between average and great. Incremental problem solving is part of training and success.
- Learn. Learning is a job that is never over. Never stop.
- Be open to help and support. Allow yourself to receive. Make sure that you have support and inspiration from those around you.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You are going to be criticised. The higher you put yourself up, the higher you stick your head over the parapet, the more people are going to have an opinion.'
‘Remind yourself that failure is ok. You just have to pick yourself up and learn to deal with it and get on with it.'
‘It's teaching by example that is the journey. It's falling in love with this part of the process. Yes, we're on a journey. Yes, we have a vision. Yes, we are looking for the sunshine, we are looking for that plateau and, of course, we are looking to move on.'
‘To be able to be in a quiet space, fully present and aware and available for somebody is a rare talent and a rare skill. People will walk over hot coals for it. If you can create that in your organisation, in your family, in your business, you will have an amazing, amazing asset that will yield results beyond what you can imagine.'
