Wise words from one of our great mentors! Thanks, Nigel Scott! #leadership #mentorship #mentors
In her new book Emma Hayes makes a beautifully succinct point about being a leader when she says… Leadership is draining. Having left the Circus, one of the biggest wins of the past six weeks for me is to not have to lead anyone other than myself. It’s been quite liberating really and has allowed my mind to wander around all the fringes of my mind and go and investigate those corners of my thinking that don’t often get the time they deserve. But now, I have to admit that I miss it. As Hayes continues… “You have to constantly listen well, communicate clearly, and reflect wisely. You must have a deep understanding of the human condition and be hyperaware of what makes people tick. Assume nothing. The range of motivational factors within your workforce is surprisingly wide.” What a treat to be in a position where that is your job. So I’m really happy that GroundFloor have let me into their team of mentors. I had my first call yesterday, and another one today, and I loved it. Here's hoping for many more.
