WHO I WORK WITH
I typically work with people who are or want to do something big. They want to make a difference in the world. Often leading some kind of transformation, something new or changing. And they are heart based leaders. They know that to lead, it is about people. Not just the task, the deliverable, the outcome. They understand the need to integrate the two – people and task.
The people I work with are already high performers. They are doing a great job, though it may be taking more effort than they would like. To plateau is not in their nature, and it is also not the way to create the future. These individuals recognise that plateauing is a recipe to lose currency, to lose relevance, and to lose control over their destiny, their future. Not only for themselves, but also for their people, their teams, and their organisation.
Commercially savvy leaders are always looking at how they can become the leader they need to be to create that pathway forward, to make progress and be building a future. They keep an eye on the horizon, even when things are going spectacularly well today. Not only are they focused on what is required right now to keep us afloat, to keep us functioning, to keep us operational, they also have an eye on the horizon for, what do we need to build? Where do we need to create capability? What do we need to be thinking about? What else?
These individuals have a now and future perspective.
On top of all this, they are teachable. Because they know that to be a leader is to be a learner. They continue their own development, pushing their own boundaries, and becoming more.
