    Self sabotage and other leadership hazards

    It's so hard to keep perspective in business when few, if any, are prepared to give you honest feedback. Deep down we tend to know the habits and traits that don't always serve us well, yet change or even improvement can seem very elusive. This is particularly relevant to owners and managers given the huge influence they have over productivity, culture and 'navigation'. This in itself can be a source of stress, particularly when you know, or feel, your methods are not at the level you would like them to be. If you ever find yourself saying 'I am what I am' or if you know there's more you can be in your role this episode is for you. We'll discuss the issues and improvement methodologies for really optimising your outcomes as a leader. as well as heading off on plenty of tangents (asusual). Enjoy!

    Why can't my people just get on with it?

    How frustrating is it when your people: 1. Have a diminished care factor - 'not my problem, I just work here' or 'I just do what I'm told' 2. Won't take accountability for their actions or take ownership of the job at hand. 'Not my fault'. They love to play the victim card, right? Some people just fail to use their initiative to get the project done and are constantly asking silly questions about stuff they should already know. Sound familiar? Of course, this all sounds a bit dire for as we know we also have great people whom we trustand rely on. The worry is, how do we stop them becoming disheartened through the unfairness of workload share and the general negativity of the low care factor brigade? This situation can become chronic in an economic environment where quality, skilled people are hard, in some cases impossible, to find. Rock and hard place, right? Want to get a handle on ‘where to from here’ with your people? Tune in now.

    The Key Elements of Business - An Overview

    Part of setting up, running, growing and sustaining a business lies, at first, in identifying the elements that Ross (Bluff) and Paul (Swagger) refer to as the scaffold of business.  As usual the discussion seeks to be simple and pragmatic so you can apply some or all of the information easily.   The scaffold is also a great tool for analysing where you are 'now' with a view to delivering relevant strategy for moving forward. As always thanks for listening and apologies in advance for the dad jokes. Want to know more about Paul and Ross? ⁠⁠Click Here
