Top Tips for Leaders – The Art of Being in Control

How do you manage to keep control of everything that’s going on within your organisation? You need to position yourself where you can have the greatest impact. This is about situational leadership. It’s about taking different approaches to the scenarios you face. So I would suggest you need to be on a daily basis, even an hourly basis, where the action is, as that is where you can have the greatest impact.

Top Tips for Leaders – Make Action Your Goal

Leaders should constantly commit to take action. Taking action is what leaders are all about. How do you take action? Ask yourself a simple question ‘What is the next action step I need to take to move this project forward now?’ Then, the key is to commit to take that action. Next, apply that methodology across all of your projects, and a sense of momentum suddenly starts to take place across everything that you’re responsible for. You are taking action. Make action your goal!

Top Tips for Leaders – Empowerment

This video shares with you a process, what in the military we would probably refer to as a force multiplier. A way of increasing your influence, your impact, your authority. That process is called empowerment. Many CEOs who have adopted an environment of empowerment within their organisations all report increased motivation, increased loyalty and increased outcomes. Empowerment is a process and it is complex. It will mean changing much of the cultural way that you approach leadership within your organisation. We should remember sharing your workload is delegation, but sharing your power is empowerment.

Top Tips for Leaders – Take a ‘time out’

This week’s 2 minute video asks: How do leaders cope in a crisis? How do leaders cope when deadlines are looming and passing, when there is crisis all around them? There is chaos, poor communication, advisors coming at the leader with differing opinions which the leader has to make very difficult judgments upon. The answer may sound illogical, but leaders need to walk away, to take a ‘time out’. It could just be a couple of minutes. It could be hours. It could be half a day or even a full day, but leaders need to walk away. It will be a time to reflect, think, get the bigger, greater perspective and, only then, come back. Great leaders don’t work harder, they work smarter. Watch the video here
