MY BUSINESS HELD THE ROYAL WARRANT TO SUPPLY HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN.... How we got there is key. It is also one of many business related stories within the book, 'McMaster and Commander The Business of Winning', that I co-authored with Aberdeen Legend and Gothenburg Great, John McMaster. As is related in the book, supporting others to act on their initiative is key and as is mentioned '....allowing individuals within any business to have a degree of free flow and empowerment to take actions as they see fit for the benefit of the business'. Of course not every initiative will be successful. That is just the way it is. However if you don't try, then you'll never know. Show me a team, business or organisation that is successful, I'll show you a team, business or organisation that has overcome many challenges/obstacles to get there.

Our thoughts exactly.

"The Crown" is one of the most critically acclaimed series in recent years, depicting the story of the British royal family, with a particular focus on the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. While watching this show, I realized there are many valuable lessons that can be applied to leadership in the professional world: 👉 Adaptability and resilience: "The Crown" highlights the importance of adjusting to new situations, dealing with challenges, and overcoming adversities, something crucial in any career. 👉 Decision making: Queen Elizabeth is constantly confronted with difficult decisions. Learning to make assertive and ethical decisions is fundamental. 👉 Leadership and communication: The way the Queen communicates with her team and political leaders shows her ability to lead with empathy, listen attentively, and communicate clearly. 👉 Crisis management: The series portrays many moments of crisis, demonstrating the importance of staying calm and making effective decisions in order to mobilize resources to deal with unforeseen events. This show is a must watch! #thecrown #leadership #decisionmaking #inspiration

I typically I look at history for lessons on leadership. The past gives us more wholistic insights on the people, their circumstances, actions and outcomes, than the present. I just read (tried to finish it by July 4th) 1776 by David McCullough (https://lnkd.in/gTW8fw6m), one of my favorite authors along with Malcolm Gladwell and Ken Follett. The book, a historical account, tells a vivid story of the American Revolution. This note captures my assessment on the leadership disposition and the role George Washington played in leading the Continental Army during the trying fall & winter days of 1776. So what made him an effective leader after his appointment on June 19th, 1775. Let's start with what Washington did not do well. He was not a great orator (though he often addressed his troops), nor was he a great war tactician (he often divided his forces). At times he was indecisive and led to dire consequences as in the case of Fort Washignton surrender. While an experienced soldier, he struggled to manage at scale and lead the poorly outfitted & disciplined volunteer militia. But his strengths overcame his weaknesses ... Washington excelled in people judgement (promoted Knox and Greene, fended off Lee), and had the EQ required to bring together the Yankee (most of his volunteers were from New England) spirit and his Southern values. He handled himself well under pressure even when running from an engagement with a superior, more organised adversary. The battle of Brooklyn Heights could have been the end of the rebellion. Throughout the war, Washington's character was never in question. He didn't blamed his subordinates in failure, in most cases kept his disappointments to himself and praised generously displays of courage. Keeping an inexperienced army together was a massive undertaking for any experienced leader, but Washington gained the respect of his troops by leading them from the front in several engagements with the enemy. Lastly, he build support beyond his leadership team, communicated often with Congress and sought feedback and support for his actions. My main takeaway is that you don't have to be perfect, but your areas of strength have to be meaningful (e.g. integrity, courage, grit) and savvy enough complement yourself with other leaders' skill, and motivation. #leadership #lessons

Loyalty and Branding Loyalty is a key component of great branding, displaying constancy and dependability in both owners and employees. Ruth, a biblical example, demonstrated unwavering commitment to her mother-in-law Naomi by proclaiming, "Where you go, I will go" (Ruth 1:16). Her effort fostered trust and left a lasting legacy. Similarly, Jonathan's commitment to David exemplifies selfless support in relationships. Despite being the king's son, Jonathan prioritised David's life before his own, deepening their friendship and demonstrating that true loyalty can overcome personal ambition (1 Samuel 18:3–4). This loyalty strengthened David's leadership and future kingship. Follow Ruth and Jonathan's lead in creating a positive and productive environment. Owners and employees should both commit to each other's success, thereby strengthening the brand's integrity. Encourage one another to work hard and faithfully to create a strong, trustworthy brand that reflects Christian principles. #PositiveWorkPlace #TheEdges #ChisebweFumbeshi #ChristianBusinessMentor https://lnkd.in/eUh44bga

Beautiful to the core. Powerful. So many ways to apply this in life and business.

What an incredible message about facing fear head on and how we can all work to be more courageous by being vulnerable enough to work together to find solutions. This can be applied to all areas of life. If you are a leader I ask you this: Are you courageous enough to be vulnerable so that you can truly serve those who follow you? People often put leaders on a pedestal. It’s a natural thing to do when you respect someone. However, it often overshadows the many failures that the leader has overcome to get them to their current point in life. Leaders, you have a DUTY to be vulnerable with those that deserve it, but especially with your direct followers. Help them grow from your past struggles and subsequent lessons. Share your wisdom. Share your passion. LEAD the way!
