What’s the difference between an OK leadership team and one that outperforms expectations?
It’s one where everyone:
- Is pulling in the same direction.
- Has each other’s backs.
- Understands each other’s intricacies.
- Learns, develops and grows together.
- Prioritises time for regular, scheduled and meaningful communication.
- Can have healthy debates and constructive conflicts without hurt feelings.
- Is accountable.
Think of all the hours wasted on petty arguments, politics, blame-shifting, inattention and avoidance of disagreements. Drama saps all the good energy away.
That energy could be going back into your business to lift it to the next level. Think of that.
It’s no wonder that the first Rockefeller Habit is ‘The executive team is healthy and aligned’.
I love both of those words: healthy and aligned. There’s something very organic about them, but they also speak volumes about the importance of being organised and cohesive. It gives a joined-up thinking vibe.
There are human beings at the centre of this process. What better way to make sure everyone brings their best ideas to the table than by creating a space that is safe and everyone feels heard?
So as a leadership team, how much time do you spend learning? How much time do you spend learning together? Do you schedule routine check-ins?
What’s your next challenge?
The Rockefeller Habits checklist is just one of a whole library of tools we use to deliver the Scaling Up Master Business course. It has been specifically designed for CEOs, successful business owners and high-level entrepreneurs who are aware that they’ve got as far as they can go on their own.
What I love about it is that it’s hands-on. It’s real-world thinking and doing in a way that’s completely adaptable to your ambitious dreams for your business.
Our next cohort starts training on September 6th. Why don’t you join us? There’s a free taster webinar to get you started. Just click here.
Enjoy your day.
