Leader Manager Coach Podcast Rob Ryles

Rob discusses the book "Courage is Calling: Fortune Favors the Brave" by author Ryan Holiday, highlighting the key findings and lessons from the book, which align with the philosophies discussed on the podcast.

Rob emphasises that courage is not just physical, but also moral, and explores the importance of facing fear, taking small steps towards bravery, and standing up for what you believe in. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS



Courage is a key virtue that encompasses both physical and moral bravery. It involves taking small steps and practicing bravery in everyday life.



Fear is a normal part of the courageous journey. It is the first step in recognising that you are on the right path and being challenged.



Courage is about answering the call and being committed to noble ideals. It requires standing up for what you believe in and speaking truth to power.



The heroic journey involves selflessness and transcending personal desires. It may involve periods of depression and facing challenges alone, but it is necessary for growth and defining oneself as a hero.



Heroism is about making choices and following one's ethical line. It is not just about one monumental choice, but a series of choices that shape one's character and contribute to a heroic path.



BEST MOMENTS

"Im going to talk about the outstanding findings that affect us all"

"Reading is where it's at"

"Embrace fear and choose the path and jump in"

"Find your passion and find that thing that drives you!"

Rob discusses the concept of leaders who are also great coaches, drawing inspiration from an article by Bill George and Zach Clayton in the Harvard Business Review. Rob highlights the importance of care, organisation, alignment, challenge, and help in effective leadership.

He also talks about the fact that a leader's title may make them a manager, but it is their ability to inspire and lead their team that truly makes them a leader. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Leadership is not solely determined by one's title, but by the perception of those being led. Being a leader means gaining the trust and respect of your team.
The acronym COACH (Care, Organise, Align, Challenge, Help) highlights key qualities and actions of successful leaders who also act as coaches.
Care is essential in building relationships and trust with your team. Genuine care for your team members will lead to better communication and collaboration.
Organise involves placing individuals in roles that align with their strengths and skills. Effective leaders understand how to assemble a team that complements each other's abilities.

BEST MOMENTS

"Your title makes you a manager, but your people make you a leader." 

"People don't care what you know until they know how much you care." 

"Your job is to organise and put people, as the Harvard Business Review says, in their sweet spot." 

"Your job is to explain, show, demonstrate, and bring to life the vision that everybody will die for."

Rob shares his thoughts and insights on various topics related to personal growth and development, beginning by discussing the concept of hierarchy and how our perception of authority figures can impact our feelings of disappointment or frustration.

Rob then delves into the importance of maintaining inner peace and not letting external circumstances disturb our consciousness. He emphasises the need to focus on personal evolution and growth, seeking wisdom from others and following one's own hero's journey. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Hierarchical levels in organisations and society are man-made and do not define one's worth or value. It is important to focus on personal growth and evolution rather than being concerned with positions of power.
Maintain a peaceful relationship with themselves, their soul, and a higher power. By not allowing external factors or opinions to disturb this peace, individuals can navigate challenges and hierarchies with a sense of calm and confidence.
Rob highlights the importance of answering the call to embark on one's own hero's journey. This involves stepping out of comfort zones, facing challenges, and following one's heart and true purpose, even if it scares them.
Take responsibility and move forward: By taking ownership of one's actions and choices, individuals can make progress and grow personally and professionally.

BEST MOMENTS

"The only hierarchy is consciousness." 

"You have to worship your own, whatever you consider God to be." 

"From the wound comes the salve. From the problem comes the answer." 

"Shoulder as much responsibility as you can and move forward."

"He was one of my best mates there as well, even though he was about five years older than me." 

"He suggested to Don Revy that they play me up front. And he did, he played him, he did what Sid asked and the rest was kind of, it was the best thing that happened to me." 

"He was strict that way. Yes. Yeah. It was all for you though, what he was doing and having a go at. It was all for you, for the benefit of you." 

"I felt he was. You heard a lot of people nearly had them to tears. But it was all for your best, you know what I mean?"
