Leading

There is an opportunity to come up for air, breathe, think together and work things out – the things that really matter.

It’s really difficult, uncertain, even chaotic. Leaders swim in the chaos and know there is no single answer and that there is only progress, but in what direction? They consider as best they can, informed by conversations with excellent people, and they point the way forward and their followers act in that direction.

There is a place to have these conversations – it’s called Curated Leadership Conversations. Here is an example.

Here’s my last blog post before Christmas.
In the New Year I start a series of Curated Leadership Conversations with the directors of an organisation. Early on we distinguish between ‘doing’, ‘managing’ and ‘leading’ and from then on we talk about leadership in the context of their business. Our time together is pure headspace and a rare opportunity to reposition and permanently operate at a higher level.
Happy holidays.

This week, something a bit different check out our vlog exploring why bigger goals are easier.

Headspace is what my customers value most. Even as little as an hour a month of purposeful thinking with excellent people can make a difference to the strategic soundness of a project or organisation. For this reason, I am setting up a Mastermind group…

The title of this post is based on one of my favourite films “We need to talk about Kevin”.
It’s a tough watch.
Kevin’s Mam thinks there is something wrong with him. His Dad says, “leave him alone he is just a normal kid”.
Kevin grows up and does something terrible.
We need to talk about values

We are now operating in Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous times.
VUCA was coined by the military, though applies to all of us, especially those leading businesses and projects.
You and I have got this far, we have developed strategies. I’m sharing some of mine here in my new video series; I’d love to hear some of yours
