    EPISODE 2

    Time and Space

    Give yourself space to think and for decision-making, especially at critical points in a change or times of crisis. Quick decisions are often poor decisions. Find the balance. Time and space gives your brain a chance to weigh up your options. Don’t rush it. Embrace a moment. Even better, sleep on it or take a walk. Give yourself time. Your leadership will be better for it.

    EPISODE 4

    Our brains are overloaded

    Our brains are overloaded. Our modern world is tough. Things are coming at us from every angle. We struggle to prioritise. Make it easy for your team and changes are more likely to be adopted. Learn how to simplify, use the power of three to build simple statements and be consistent; repeat, repeat, repeat. Work smarter, not harder And look after you. Give your brain the chance to catch up.

  5. It isn't about you

    EPISODE 4

    It isn't about you

    It isn’t about you! Humans going through change are angry at the situation and their own response to it. We don’t get up in the morning, look in the mirror and head to work to be bad people, stuff just happens and gets in our way. Or we don’t have great survival skills, yet. Don’t take it personally. Be empathetic, but don’t take on the other persons pain. Time is a great healer.

  6. Ask for forgiveness not permission

    EPISODE 6

    Ask for forgiveness not permission

    Ask for forgiveness not permission. Asking for permission stops empowerment dead in its tracks. As leaders we love it when our teams ask us to make a decision. That is what we are here for. Thing is, when we make decisions we disempower our teams. It becomes a habit. Ask yourself; Do *I* need to make this decision? If the answer is No; Why won’t my team member make it? Empowerment requires your team to act like owners in applying good judgement. Build trust in your teams judgement. Break the habit of decision making. Ask for their recommendation, nudge if needed, but empower your team to make decisions. Use your extra time to be an even more inspiring leader

  7. Feel the fear

    EPISODE 7

    Feel the fear

    Feel the fear and do it anyway. Our biggest growth comes from taking on challenges that are fearful and out of our comfort zone. Embrace the unknown, the ambiguity and find the bravery to set the path. Trust your leadership and grow with the challenge. You will be a better leaders as a result. Be happy that every day is a schoolday. Our leadership journey and growth does not stop, it keeps going and growing.

  8. What culture are you creating

    EPISODE 8

    What culture are you creating

    Culture is the common beliefs, behaviours and assumptions held by a group, any group. A scout group, a soccer club, your book group or your company and work team -- When you go to your parents house, things don’t quite work the same way, they have different rules. This is the family culture. -- Think of it as the socially acceptable behaviours of the group. It isn’t foosball tables, beer o’clock Fridays, open plan offices or oddball job titles. These are symbols they only work if the underlying behaviours match them, which is why you often see unused foosball tables, empty collaboration areas and few people mingling at beer o’clock. The socially acceptable behaviours of a group are set by the leader, whether formally appointed or not. Yes, that is you! What beliefs and assumptions drive the behaviours of your group? Leaders get the culture’s (behaviours) that they deserve. What culture are you creating?
