Leadership Matters

On this episode of the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast, Craig Johns speaks with Peter Baines OAM about how leadership matters, critical decision making in high stakes environments like the Thailand Tsunami and the psychology of managing extremely difficult situations as a leader.

We also dive deeper into how we could cope from the mental effects of difficult and traumatic situations, leadership in the current world and why decision making skills are important during these times. 

Peter Baines OAM  –  Leadership Matters

Peter Baines OAM is the founder of Hands Across the Water, a global keynote speaker, board director and author of the book Leadership Matters. With a background that weaves through the corridors of Canberra Institute of Technology, where he studied forensic science, to the prestigious halls of the University of Sydney, where he delved into law, his insights into leadership are a fascinating fusion of disciplines.

From unraveling criminal mysteries to advising the likes of Interpol and the United Nations, his two-decade career as a forensic investigator has taken him to the epicenters of crisis in Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia. But it was the call of compassion that shifted his trajectory. In the aftermath of Thailand’s hardships, he founded Hands Across the Water, a beacon of hope for children without homes or families.

Karen talks about:

  • How leadership matters in handling difficult situations
  • Characteristic leaders must have in the current world
  • His experiences growing up as a public servant
  • How he was able to prevent the adverse effects of working in the crime industry from affecting his own mental health and well-being
  • His experience working in the disaster unit during the Thailand tsunami. 
  • The differences between handling disasters in Japan vs Thailand
  • The challenges of informing family members regarding sad and difficult circumstances
  • How to handle pressure in difficult situations
  • Developing critical decision-making skills
  • Transitioning from handling big situations to smaller ones
  • The fulfillment of speaking on stage 
  • Things that leaders should talk about when writing their books

“I couldn’t change what had happened, but I could feel like it was within my capacity to do something around what happened next.” Peter Baines OAM talks about helping kids recover from the tsunami in Thailand on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“True leaders are identified by what they do and the decisions that they make.” Peter Baines OAM talks about the characteristics of a leader on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

“That’s the beauty of it and how interesting it is to know more about yourself, what you’re capable of, what you’re what you’re thinking, where you’re thinking comes from, how you shape ideas and thoughts, or how you’re limited in your understanding and knowledge on particular issues.” Learning about oneself by Peter Baines OAM on the Inspiring Great Leaders Podcast.

Active CEO Performance Tip

Own Your OWN FREEDOM – Are you content with how you are living your life or the way that you might be living someone else’s life? Find the passion, happiness & direction in your life. What fuels the fire in your belly? What are you willing to sacrifice to fulfill your passion? What allows you to feel content and fall asleep at ease? What is your purpose and direction in life? Questions to ask yourself – 1. What makes you come alive. 2. What are your innate strengths. 3. Where do you add greatest value

Tweets

“Everyone looks through their own lens at the world. Meet people where they are. Attempt to see the world through their eyes. Listen intently to what is said and not said. Try to imagine yourself dealing with the pressures with who ever you are speaking with is dealing with on a day to day basis, because everybody has them.” Fiona Robertson on the rules of belonging, on the active CEO Podcast.

“Our brains are very good at keeping us safe, they believe that to belong is to be safe. They will resist consciously and unconsciously a change to the rules of belonging.” Discussing how the human brain reacts to change with Fiona Robertson, on the active CEO Podcast.

active CEO Podcast #105 Own Your OWN SPACE

active CEO Podcast Own Your OWN Space Craig Johns High Performance Leadership Expert

By Craig Johns

Own Your OWN SPACE – What is the impact you have on the world through your own unique set of skills and the way you have put them together?

We are all unique and our uniqueness is what allows us to differentiate ourselves and stand out from the crowd. Besides becoming world-class in one skill, talent can come from having a unique stack of skills that no one else has.

Your edge is who you are! What seems normal to you is absolutely amazing to everyone else.

Own Your OWN SPACE

You just need to believe in yourself and have absolute clarity on your vision and then you and your unique set of skills, will become attractive to your target audience.

How can you combine different skills to create value in a way no one else can?

Wouldn’t it be great to become one-of-a-kind in your own league?

Two key aspects that stand out to develop a skill and achieve skill mastery are: you need deliberate and repeatable practice.

7 Steps To Achieve Skill Mastery

Lets look at how you can develop skill mastery.

  • Focus on the task at hand and remove all distractions.
  • Break the skill down into simple tasks or movements.
  • Start out slowly or in slow motion.
  • Gradually increase speed and quality of repetitions
  • Frequent repetitions with a lot of breaks
  • Multiple daily repetitions with limited duration.
  • Visualise through imagining the task or skill being performed with greatness.

Are you ready to Own Your OWN SPACE?

How Do You Choose When Everything Is A Priority?

Priority How Do I Choose When Everything Is Important And Urgent?
Photo by Ferenc Horvath on Unsplash

By Craig Johns

Do you find that you are overwhelmed with a whole lot of ideas and items on your to do list, and you don’t know where to start?

I have found the Priority 2×2 Matrix my best friend when it comes to productivity, performance and effective output.

There are two great Priority 2×2 Matrix that will help you find clarity, speed up the decision making process and manage your time more effectively:

  1. IMPORTANCE vs URGENCY
  2. IMPACT vs EFFORT

IMPORTANCE vs URGENCY

When there is a sense of urgency and overwhelm, I first start with IMPORTANCE vs URGENCY. Start by creating a 2×2 grid (adapted from President Dwight Eisenhower) with IMPORTANCE on the y-axis (vertical) and URGENCY x-axis (horizontal). Then place your ideas or to-do item’s in the grid according to their IMPORTANCE and URGENCY. 

  1. High importance, high urgency (Top right box)
  2. High importance, low urgency (Top left box)
  3. Low importance, high urgency (Bottom right box)
  4. Low importance, low urgency (Bottom left box)
Priority How Do I Choose When Everything Is Important And Urgent? Importance and urgency

Choose the top 3 priorities that are positioned in the in the far right and highest point of the top right box (high importance / high urgency), and use these as your three tasks to complete today or first (if they will take longer than one day). After you have completed tasks in box #1, then you will need to determine which tasks in box 2 or 3 are more important. The IMPACT vs EFFORT Priority 2×2 Matrix will assist you in making this decision.

Sometimes it is really challenging to differentiate between the tasks, when they all feel important and urgent. That’s when the IMPACT vs EFFORT Priority 2×2 Matrix, becomes your go to tool to find clarity.

IMPACT vs EFFORT

Create a 2×2 grid (adapted from President Dwight Eisenhower) with IMPACT on the y-axis (vertical) and EFFORT x-axis (horizontal). Then place your ideas or to-do item’s in the grid according to their IMPACT and EFFORT. 

  1. High impact, high effort (Top right box)
  2. High impact, low effort (Top left box)
  3. Low impact, high effort (Bottom right box)
  4. Low impact, low effort (Bottom left box)
Priority How Do I Choose When Everything Is Important And Urgent? Impact and effort

Choose the top 3 priorities that are positioned in the far left and at the highest point of the top left box (high impact / low urgency), and use these as your three tasks to complete today or first (if they will take longer than one day). After you have completed tasks in box #2, then you will need to focus on tasks in box 1.

It is really important that you only choose a maximum of 3 tasks to complete each day, no matter whether you use the IMPORTANCE vs URGENCY or IMPACT vs EFFORT Priority 2×2 Matrix.

It’s time for you to find clarity, make a decision and own your time!

active CEO Podcast #89 How Many CEO Performance Habits?

CEO Performance active CEO Podcast Breaking The CEO Code Craig Johns NRG2Perform High Performing Leaders

CEO Performance

Craig Johns talks about CEO Performance, the third P of the 3P’s of the Leadership Performance Formula. CEO Performance is about developing high performance habits, effective routines and important cues, while removing unwanted contamination and negative influence in your life.

How many CEO Performance habits do you have?

Humans are designed for boundaries in their life. Without clear boundaries it is easy to head down broken path or fall into a trap. Sometimes boundaries need to lose to ensure creativity and innovation can occur, and other times they need to be tight so you limit the distractions.

High performance habits involve unleashing your courage, improving productivity, raising necessity, remaining focused and creating clarity.

What are the routines you can create to reduce time wasting, increase ENERGY, REFLECT effectively, improve HEALTH, curiously GROW, enhance your PROXIMITY, and positively INFLUENCE others?

High performing leaders eliminate the unnecessary habits and negative distractions in their life, so they can energetically execute with focus, confidence and clarity.

What habits and routines do you need to break or create to ensure that you can be more productive and perform better?

Check out the newly Breaking The CEO Code whitepaper. It provides an overview of Breaking The CEO Code and showcases the 6 key phases. We also go a little deeper into the 2nd phase PERFORMANCE, where we discuss the 3 P’s of the Leadership Performance Formula.

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.
