Appearances
discussions with the individual about their development and you have discussions about where they're we're doing really well and you have those in a way that's creates trust and uh creates a framework where they feel like they're personally growing.
But I think in terms of broad-based decision making, I think it's important to be able to step back and say what's the right leadership style for a particular situation.
And sometimes that's pushing the organization and saying, look, I want to get to 2X, or I want to get to X, so I'm gonna paint a vision of 2X and we'll get to X.
Sometimes it's been supportive, sometimes it's been conciliatory, sometimes it's different, different styles work in different situations.
And I think probably the greatest lesson
as I've gotten older and somewhat wiser, is I tend to step back a little bit more and tend to give people a bit more time.
and tend to let people understand that there's there's many different ways to get to a particular destination.
And sometimes it's important to let other people make the choice.
And they might take a longer path to get there.
But that sense of ownership and pride that they have in in the execution and the sense of achievement is so important in in scaling up a broader business.
And I think it's it's hugely important to have other people in the business that behave differently.
So it's it's really important that you've got people in your in your business that are much more focused on people and softer skills and they're the connectors.
You got other people that are pushing the organization even harder and they're all about outcome.
And as a team, as you come together, um, you get these wonderful combinations of personalities.
And uh
a group of very different thinkers and very different personalities in terms of the way they tackle a problem will achieve a much better outcome than everyone being exactly aligned in exactly the same way.
Yeah, I think it's so important to have switch off uh mechanics and some people that's you know, a glass of wine.
Some people it's, you know, uh doing X, Y, and Z.
I have lots of things that I do that are really my passions and hobbies and sometimes that's family, sometimes as simple as reading the book, watching a T V show.
But it's about having those things that you love.
