Teamwork. This time last year we had an expensively assembled team. But. It was badly led with no direction, no clear goals and everyone pulling in different directions with their own agendas. It was destined to fail. This year is different. A unified team working together and well led. The whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. Whatever the result at Wembley it won't be failure, it will be a step towards the goal, because failure can't occur when the goal is clear. The similarities in sport and business are clear. Does your team understand it's purpose? Is your team well led and working towards a shared goal, clearly understood by everyone?

Dear Leader, Always remember you cannot give what you do not have. You give and will always show the road map. If you truely have no direction, you will replicate the no direction agenda in your team. You are the template your team is copying. #leadershipcroonings #selfleadership

This is why continuous learning is important for any leader. It's not just about empowering a Team. It's also about being able to aspire to greatness. It's pushing and expanding beyond the ceiling! A leader is one required to help guide, support and motivate but it one doesn't understand that then how can they build a high performing Team. If we don't accept mediocrity then why wouldn't you want to elevate oneself!

As a leader or manager, you cannot give what you do not have, if you do not grow, your people do not grow or they leave. Just like John Maxwell has said, Jim Rohn also said “For things to change, you have to change. For things to get better, you have to get better. For things to improve, you have to improve. If you grow, everything grows for you”. So the question is, Are you a growing leader?

You can’t take someone where you haven’t been. If you want your team to grow you have to grow. You reproduce who you are. Yikes. Growth isn’t easy. It’s a choice. The challenge in front of you is there for a reason. So choose thankfulness that you have an opportunity to learn something and therefore help someone else!! I’m 15 months into this cancer journey and 1.5 weeks from my last leg shot (14 in total). I’m cancer free!! I am beyond grateful. Cancer was the only thing in life I didn’t want yet the road I’ve walked has been a blessing. I am not the same person I was 15 months ago. Now when someone tells me they feel sick or aren’t doing well I empathize on a much deeper level. To be so sick you can’t walk up the stairs is next level. This mountain in front of you is there for a reason. Focus. Choose thankfulness!! #thankfulness #leadership #breastcancersurvivor #joy #growthmindset

Leadership 101 right here

This is it! You can't teach what you don't know, you can't show what you are not. This is what we must look for in the next years: be aware about our strengths and weaknesses, and evolve to the level we would like to see in our teams Become the mentor you would like to have when you were a junior! #coaching #ontologicalcoaching #mentorship #leadership #peakresilience #knowur #knowyouare

Good leadership starts with self-awareness, personal relfection, and growth. When this type of leadership is modeled - your team is empowered to do the same. #leadership

My favorite book is 21 Laws of Irrefutable Leadership. I read it every year and the Law of the Lid, described in the book and a little in this video, is fact. Your company and your team can never grow beyond your own lid. You have to keep learning, growing and becoming a better leader to raise your own lid and potential. When you do that, you raise the lid and potential of everyone around you. John C. Maxwell #leadership #GrowthMindset #entrepreneurship #success

Are You an Ideal Team Player? In his book The Ideal Team Player, Patrick Lencioni highlights that the key to thriving in today’s team-focused work environment is to possess three essential traits: humility, drive, and emotional intelligence. 1)Humble individuals put the team’s success above their ego and are always willing to learn. 2) Hungry team members demonstrate a strong work ethic, consistently striving for growth and taking on new challenges. 3) Smart refers to being people-smart—having the ability to interact well with others and navigate relationships effectively. These three traits combined create the foundation of a truly effective team player/ an ideal team player who thrives in a collaborative environment. #Idealteamplayer #Companyculture #GreatLeaders
