Stuck in the storm
There is a storm going on right now for many businesses in the midst of this pandemic, where uncertainty is causing staff to dwell in the storm for far longer than they need to. If the team can’t see a way forward with certainty, and the what-if discussion goes round in circles, then the team can find itself languishing in the storm from where others have already emerged.
Leadership Lessons from the Motor industry.
Are we going to be a gold digger, a wheelbarrow salesman or a Mustang Maker. All three business models have merit, and all three are significantly different ways to approach this crisis.
The journey out of COVID
Be authentic. We can’t know everything about a future that has so much uncertainty. We’ll need to make decisions, and we’ll inevitably get some wrong. People will expect that, and people will see that, so don’t try to hide it or spin it so that it looks right. Own your good decisions and own your bad decisions, and you’ll earn people’s respect. After all, people would rather follow a leader who is always authentic, than one who is never wrong.
Find your phoenix
Perhaps it seems like our intended mission has been aborted and that we are facing the worst disaster we’ve ever experienced. However, maybe, now is also the time for our finest hour, if we can find a way out of this season and rise, renewed, like a phoenix from the remains left from the embers of our predecessor.
Making decisions in the dim light of incomplete information
When I came back to the bike sheds to cycle home at the end of the day, of course, it had gone. My bike had gone. Forever. And I didn’t get a replacement for several years; my parents decided it would teach me a valuable lesson, and it did!
Do we need faster horses?
When I was working on a PC I would scan the keyboard for letters that I know I used to be able to find easily. The M key had disappeared, or rather it had moved! It wasn’t until I noticed that the keys at the top of the keyboard no longer spelled out “QWERTY” that I discovered the reason.
PRIZE Leadership Quotient
Leadership is the art of making decisions in the dim light of incomplete information, and leadership is measured with the illumination of hindsight.If we want to be sure to be as well equipped as possible when the time comes for those dimly lit decisions to be made, then we need to make sure that our leadership skills are as developed as possible in preparation, and the PLQ provides a helpful benchmark against which we can assess our progress.If we can measure it, then we stand a chance of being able to deliver it.
What’s your motivation?
I have found without exception, when working with teams, that by helping them to understand the things that motivate them and their colleagues, they can learn how to improve their combined performance, productivity and profitability.
What will my story be
Five years from now we’ll look back on this season as one where the adoption of online communications took off, where working from home and not travelling to work became mainstream and a preferred option for many, and where travelling for business meetings became a thing of the past. We’ll discover that we don’t have to do it as we always did!When we get there and take a look back with some personal stories to tell, what will my story be? I can start writing that history today.
Collateral Beauty
So what could “collateral beauty” mean? Well, maybe it could be described as an unintended bonus, benefit or beneficial consequence resulting unexpectedly from the midst of a tragedy.
Living in an online world
My current plan involved spending the morning with over 200 other people, and then going directly to visit with two people who were considered to be at high risk of being seriously affected by this growing pandemic should they contract the virus. That didn’t seem to be a wise plan of action.
Tech Tools for Life Online
I have been using the online environment for over 15 years, and today I’ll be bringing some of the main ideas from this experience. We will look at some great ideas for encouraging participant engagement in the online environment, and we’ll have the chance to explore some of this mysterious online world together.
Engaging with Life Online
How do we go about influencing an audience so that they do change their behaviour, and turn Shelf-Development into Self-Development? This post looks at video conferencing, and in particular, at some additional tools we can use to encourage participation and engagement in online meetings.
Are you an influencer?
If we can’t get people to change their behaviour by changing their behaviour, how do we go about Influencing an audience, so that they do change their behaviour, and turn Shelf-Development into Self-Development?
Why focus on Difference Makers?
"I suspect that the future will be uncomfortable for companies who don’t pay attention to all five key components that will distinguish difference-makers. These key components are:Passion, People, Planet, Profit and Philanthropy."
Intentional Neglect, and Productivity
Do you know where you’re going to?Well, everyone ends up somewhere, but few people end up somewhere on purpose! Will you?
