Active CEO Performance Tip

Titles Don’t Reflect Intelligence – Many people consider that having a title means they know more, have better answers and make better decisions. As a leader you need to be bring people to the table that know more than you do and be the conductor of intelligence in the room. Your roles as a leader is to guide, nurture and make sense of the collective intelligence, so that as a united team you can deliver something more special than any one individual. It is collective skill stacking, which allows the team or company to own its own space. This is how you develop true competitive advantage.

Tweets

Active CEO Performance Tip

Trust Based Leadership – Trust affects a leader’s impact and has a profound affect on a company or team achieving their goals. It is the foundation of a business. Like a building if the foundation is weak and shaky it can crumble. Trust based leadership is all about allowing your staff’s competence and motivation to get the job done. Signs that trust-based leadership is working include high-levels of autonomy and low levels of unnecessary control. Employees have the freedom, independence, and discretion to schedule work, make decisions and choose the methods used to perform tasks. Trust helps avoid hostility, improves change acceptance, receptiveness to negative feedback, builds team motivation, increases employee loyalty, encourages idea sharing, boosts morale and increases productivity.

Tweets

“To be a good interviewer, you have to listen, be prepared for where the talk is going and open up so they can share transparently and authentically.” Charles Fairlie delves into interviewing, on the active CEO Podcast.

“An honest person doesn’t need a good memory. You don’t have to remember the lies from the past and cover them up.” Charles Fairlie talks about authenticity, on the active CEO Podcast.

Active CEO Performance Tip

Performance By Design – Your performance should not occur by accident. The environment you and your team work in should be carefully engineered and positioned so that performance is enabled and not forced. Think carefully about how you design a project, program or event and ensure that you are not forcing performance. Establish key actions or opportunities that allow the team members to discover performance and shine by themselves or together as a collective. This is important for long-term growth and development of not only the individual but most importantly the team.

Active CEO Performance Tip

Own Your Own Mental Conversation – Everyone has a commentator inside their head which owns the voice that you can easily over-consume your version of the truth. The voice that is observing criticizing your own actions, behaviours and thoughts can blur your view on the world. You need to own your own thought-chatter and ensure that it has perspective and clarity. The more we tell ourselves something, the more it becomes in grained and leads to our own truth. If that truth is negative by nature, then it can have a profound affect on your mood, opinion and the ability to make clear and appropriate decisions. Be objective and look at home you can ensure the conversation is positive and open.

On this episode of the active CEO Podcast, Craig Johns speaks with Andrew Barnes about Perpetual Guardian’s 4 Day Week, changing the way people work, improving the wellbeing and productivity of businesses, and the fourth industrial revolution. We also speak about global financial crisis, customer service, empowered workforces and the more important benefits of the 4 Day Week.

Active CEO Performance Tip

Leaders Develop Leaders – Leaders don’t just lead people, they develop leaders. Learning how to recognize and most importantly develop potential and emerging leaders is important for the growth and succession of a company, organization group or team. Being able to identify behaviors, attitudes and habits are more important than job-related skills when it comes to leadership. Facilitating growth, supporting leadership behaviours and providing challenges to enhance your people’s skills should be your number one priority and people buy people not products.

Tweets

“I didn’t think the 4 day week was high risk, but if you are sitting where somebody else is it necessary doesn’t come across the same way.” Andrew Barnes talks about analysing the risk of the 4 Day Week, on the active CEO Podcast.

“I didn’t inform the board. I merely announced the 4 day week on national television.” Andrew Barnes launching the 4 Day Week at Perpetual Guardian, on the active CEO Podcast.
