Two weeks ago, our Symphony PE leadership team attended the PEI Operating Partners Forum in Napa. In addition to hosting a panel session at the conference, we also co-hosted a dinner with Riviera Partners at Domaine Carneros, bringing together tech leaders, founders, and investors for insightful discussions on industry trends and opportunities. In 2024, we have already participated in two successful PEI conferences in London and Napa, and we’re excited about our upcoming third stop in New York City this October. Building on our experiences so far, we look forward to continuing to exchange ideas with PE experts and expanding our network within the community. Over the past few days, we have shared key takeaways and learnings from recent events and are now preparing for the next conference to deliver even more insights from Symphony. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to these conversations. We look forward to continuing them in New York! Special thanks to Private Equity International for a well-organized conference and Riviera Partners for co-hosting a great dinner event!

For those of us lucky to live in the DC area, there are a wealth of great museums and monuments telling our nation’s history. One monument that often gets overlooked is the Dwight Eisenhower memorial located just south of the National Air and Space Museum. I visited there one time a few years back and I was always struck by a quote on the monument that I thought inappropriate at the time. It says something to the like “leadership is the art of getting someone to do something you want done because he/she wants to do it.” It’s a mouthful so take a minute to let it sink in. When I first read the inscription, I thought this to be very underhanded. But the more I’ve tried with leadership positions, the more I feel this is wise wisdom. Essentially it boils down to two points. 1. Destination: As a leader you have to have an idea where you want to go. You are leading people somewhere so it’s vitally important you know this and can explain it. 2. Motivation: Your destination can be clear but you’ve got to motivate and inspire others not just to follow, but have the same desire as you do to get there. Destination without motivation leads to drudgery. Motivation without destination leads us nowhere. Thank you to all the amazing leaders out there for your wisdom, inspiration, and vision.

Today, I gathered some insights from Mas Riko Sapto Dimo (Founder of Orely) about what he learned while building a design agency: 1. Leadership As a leader, it's essential to set an example for your team members and ensure their needs for growth are met. To achieve this, you should: - Facilitate them (provide devices, tools, books, etc.) - Ensure that you and your team share the same goals - Be confident, and don’t underestimate yourself 2. Resilience and Consistency As an agency owner, we must consider how to build a sustainable business, especially in today’s fast-paced world. Additionally, consistency is crucial to achieving the goals we set. 3. Staying Relevant Staying relevant means keeping up with technological advancements. New developments are meant to be learned, not avoided. Let’s approach this with consistency and persistence, and let's see the results in a few days, months, or years. Thank you, Mas Riko, for the insightful session!

As people take leadership roles in Start ups and elsewhere, this 30 item palette offers a variety of choices to pick & paint the picture they want. Though the palette offers variety, it is important that leaders don’t pick too much or too little. Great paintings are composed using 3 or 4 colours only but combine them into a myriad of shades, tones and textures. Measuring the right KPIs is important to drive right behaviours of employees , depending on different stages of an organisations trajectory . For example, measuring on time performance when an organisation is developing a product is certainly a bad choice while measuring number of lead users is a good choice and so on and so forth … With limited resources during initial stages of growth, it is very important to focus and measure right few things and execute well on those and move on .. Love to hear you

Head of Human Resources | People & Culture | Organizational Development | People and Management | Transforming people who transform generations 💡
Last week, we had the honor of hosting the key global leaders of Munksjo at our Caieiras facility. This visit provided an excellent opportunity to showcase the Formobile fair, strengthen relationships with our main clients, conduct executive meetings, and present the business review. Following the presentation of the People area results, I gained valuable insights into the strategic role of HR, aligned with the business. The leadership feedback was positive, indicating that we are on the right path. They highlighted the engagement of our people and the team spirit. We initiated a Change Management process 18 months ago, and I would like to share some significant indicators from this period: 1. We increased female leadership representation in key positions from 30% to 44%, and the participation of women in production rose from 4% to 10% in the hiring of machine operators. 2. We conducted 100% feedback within the unit for performance evaluation and adherence to our values. Our turnover rate is just 1.7%, following some replacements of employees not aligned with our new culture. 3. We launched a career path for 100% of our employees, outlining the next steps in their journeys, with internal promotions at all levels. We implemented a Next Generation program with a 42% success rate for future leaders. 4. We established our leadership academy with the Munksjo Leader style, working diligently to build our succession pipeline through a talent-focused mindset. These actions led me to the following reflections: Move from the circle of concern to the circle of influence Stop fearing change and become an advocate for it Be open to a change in perspective Promote significant changes I believe our role as leaders is to create psychologically safe spaces, ensuring all voices are heard, and engaging in difficult conversations daily. This awareness is fundamental to building a culture of trust and collaboration. Thank you, Valmir Piton, Manfred Bracher, Anders Falkeström, and Michael Schirle, for trusting our work and believing that a team can achieve much more together! Thank you to the Munksjo Caieiras team for all your dedication. Together, we will build stronger and more sustainable results.

Back in March, I attended Day to Grow, an event by Maxwell Leadership. One of the speakers was Jamie Kern Lima, who sold her company for 1.2B and recently wrote the book Worthy. She said, "When you double your self-worth, you can double your net worth." I've been to enough of these events to know that building a network of like-minded people is one of the best things you can do for yourself. These people—your people, help you to learn, build your confidence, and support you. When you do this, you'll see what Jamie said is true. I write about my experience at events like Day to Grow all the time in my Limitless Growth Newsletter. If you want to hear these stories, check the link in the first comment to join the list.

Neurologist | International key note speaker I Cambridge MBA I Brain Coach | Integrative Medicine expert
The words shall fall short of the excellent hospitality and conference held by @worldoftomorrow and Aalim Mohamed We had the best learning times and sharing times. My topic was Neuroleadership. I was excited to share the work done by LIMILTESS BRAIN LAB on mapping the successful leaders. A few key insights 1. Leading others always start by leading self 2. The brains of the leaders have a well developed frontal lobes 3. Debate between beta CEO vs Theta CEO ? Beta is a fast wave in the brain and theta is a slow brain 4. How can one slow down AMYGDALA - fight, flight and fear response. 5. How to quickly know the work from our book @future readynow about MYBRAINDESIGN assessment. 6. The gender differences in the brains - man vs woman actually MAN AND WOMAN and not VS. How unique biological diversity is required for the growth of the organizations. 7. HOW TO NOT LEAD>??? any small thing which you can do with a smile and a difference, you are a leader. I GET REMINDED OF ROBIN SHARMA'S JANITOR VIDEO WHERE HE CLAIMS HIM AS A LEADER as he just does his job the best. The leaded self, guided self , the curated self, the serving self becomes the serving country, nation and world at large. It was a delight to have had the opportunity to interact with many speaker leaders in their own fields. Each as mentioned by Aalim were total delight. Maldives hospitality is always number 1. And people are just also the best.

Passionate K-12 Education Leader | 25+ Years of Purpose-Driven Leadership | Dedicated to Student Success, Lifelong Learning, and Community Empowerment
How has your week been? A simple question today had me overwhelmed with appreciation and gratitude for those that are showing up in my life. I see my leadership team and team players showing up by managing the present, while creating the future toward eradicating illiteracy. I see my network making themselves available for me to share and vet ideas. And, educators showing up every day to help bring opportunity to their students and communities through literacy. It's like the song goes, "It doesn't matter what you wear, just as long as you are there." How has your week been and who is showing up for you?

Standing with two living legends, John Maxwell and Don Wenner is pretty special. DLP Capital puts on outstanding events that pours value into people and changes the world. If you are wondering how you can help solve the Attainable Housing Crisis without consesionary returns then learn more about DLP Capital. Keep Climbing! #leadership#stewardship#impactinvesting#realestatepassiveincome#realestatedevelopment
Over the last year, you’ve heard a lot about John Maxwell from me. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside him on vision trips, sharing the stage with him at DLP Capital's events, and, in a full-circle moment, I recently welcomed him to lead the DLP team in discussion at a meeting of our leadership book club, Driven 4 Greatness (D4G). During our meeting, Maxwell talked about how he surrounds himself in his office with books he considers life-changing and transformative. That’s exactly what his books have been for me, starting with The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership. One of those 21 laws is the law of empowerment, which taught me that leaders will be remembered for those they empowered. This concept has inspired me to adopt the mantra of “leaders made here” at DLP, offering team members groups like D4G for growth and development. On a bigger scale, it’s a driving force behind our Thriving Communities concept, which seeks to empower families to live fully, with access to enrichment programs and much more. His books have had such a transformative presence in my life that for some years now, Maxwell has been listed as an ideal mentor on my Personal Compass, one of the core tools of our EES program. His presence in my life this year didn’t happen by accident or because I sent an onslaught of LinkedIn messages; it is a testament to the power of intentionality in pursuing my purpose. It’s this dedication to living intentionally that put me in the same circles as John Maxwell, whose vision and values aligned so closely with mine that as I pursued them, we naturally found ourselves in the same place at the same time. Last May, I met Maxwell for the first time at an event in Oklahoma City led by David Green, the founder of Hobby Lobby, which we were both attending. From there, our lives continued to overlap, and in January of this year, we started a friendship after connecting in St. Augustine. Over the next year, I will have welcomed Maxwell to the stage for several DLP events, including as the keynote speaker at our Extraordinary Impact & Legacy Event in November; that is undeniable proof of the power of being clear on your purpose, driven in pursuing your goals, and living each day with intentionality.
