#281 Minisode: Building a personal operating rhythm
“I have a weekly reset where I sit down for about an hour every Monday morning, and I look at everything on my plate personally and from a business perspective, and I plan my week in a fair amount of detail.”
In today’s minisode, I am going to go through how I build my operating rhythm and how you can too.
There is a great quote from author William Edwards Deming, "If you can't describe what you're doing as a process, you don't know what you're doing." And this is absolutely a process.
🎧👉 chiefmaker.com/281 👂
REGISTER FOR OUR NEXT MINI-MBA INTAKE: chiefmaker.com/minimba

✅ Optimising your personal routine for your career strategy
✅ How to incorporate quarterly, monthly, weekly, and daily activities into your business or department’s operating rhythm
✅ Why offsites are essential, for both your personal and work planning.
Stay epic,
Greg

Customer Reviews
Tips from a leadership mastermind
This podcast is a must for any current or future C-Suite leader. Greg has a style that is optimistic and charged full of energy.
Love it !
I find as a leader in an organisation with few role models to benchmark, this podcast a is a fantastic resource for me to get an understanding of the thought process, mindsets and advice of people in the next level role and phase in career. “we stand on the shoulders of giants”.
Top podcast!
As a LinkedIn Trainer the episodes I’ve enjoyed the most are Ted Prodromou and Natalie Speers - however, I’ve yet to hear a guest on this podcast that I didn’t enjoy! Greg has a fabulous voice that I could listen to all day and he adds his own insights at just the right point in a way that is very real and unassuming. There is no egos here - just great expertise and a curiosity on how to be the best manager and leader. Thanks Greg, Karen Tisdell
