Leadership is not all helicopters and speedboats

Great leadership is not all about winning $billion contracts. It's not helicopter and speedboats.

Far from it.

For most of us improving our leadership is about making small but significant changes that lift our results. Consistently, over time.?An evolution.

Your Personal Evolution

When we consistently change and respond to the conditions around us we stay relevant. Our thinking grows and our beliefs change with the people and practices we work with. When we evolve we continue to add value and keep up with what is best or needed most from us.

But we can also become lazy or complacent. Letting things slide or neglecting our need to keep growing.

Be a force of change, not forced to change.

I was coaching a Director of Operations. He was widely known as a dinosaur, because his thinking was outdated, his beliefs ancient and his results were average. He resisted every single bit of insight and?advice I gave him. His team resented him. He created a pool of apathy around him with his reluctance to change. His troops had given up.

If I am honest he was a nightmare to work with. And eventually he was "resigned". Gone. And his Division evolved happily without him. A revolution.

When we fail to take time out and proactively take on influences from our team or industry, that is when we become irrelevant. We can fade away. Like a relic from another era we become known for being out of touch or not up to speed.

Sometimes this can happen because we have had other priorities. Then we feel lost compared to those that kept up.

Get better: EVOLVE

To keep up and stay relevant try to:

1. Make?time to reflect?on where we are and need to be

2. Understand what is?changing around us.

3. Convert changes around you into?meaningful actions?for yourself?so that you grow and morph with the needs of your team, business or industry.

That is exactly what I help experts and leaders do at my FREE?monthly workshop.?

In just one hour I share insights into changes afoot at work and in our workforce. Everyone that attends converts these into actions to get better and lift their expertise or leadership. That is why it's called EVOLVE, because we learn and grow together. We become a force of change.

The EVOLVE Workshop is free and goes for an hour on 12 July and monthly for the rest of 2023. Pick a date and book here.
