Active CEO Performance Tip

“With great power comes great responsibility” – As Spiderman once said, while sharing his wisdom. As a leader you not only have a responsibility for yourself, your family and your people, but also for the industry you work in and humankind. We are not leaders if we shy away from inappropriate behaviour and negative decisions. We have a responsibility to ensure that the industry we work in grows in a positive manner as the actions of the negative few can have a harmful effect on everyone. Ask yourself the question, is these actions and behaviour moving the industry forward or taking it backwards? What is the consequence to human beings as a result of these actions and behaviours? How responsible are you as a leader?

Active CEO Performance Tip

Create Your CEO Legacy – Having a purpose in life and aligning it to the work that you do is important if you wish to enjoy what you do, be productive and perform at a high level. Some people have a desire to go beyond the world they work in and leave a legacy for future generations to benefit from. CEO Legacy is all about finding a greater purpose through a project or movement that creates a ripple effect across an area, industry or the world. A great example of this is Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which is guided by the belief that every life has equal value. They wish to help all people lead healthy, productive lives. In developing countries, it focuses on improving people’s health and giving them the chance to lift themselves out of hunger and extreme poverty. In the United States, it seeks to ensure that all people—especially those with the fewest resources—have access to the opportunities they need to succeed in school and life. What is your legacy?

Tweets

“When you surround yourself with people who are massively obsessed with their purpose, you also get sucked into that energy.” Karthik Madugula talks about surrounding yourself with the right people, on the active CEO Podcast.

“All of us are selling lemonade. All that makes the difference is the flavour you add to the drink. It just needs to be your flavour.” Making your mark on the world with Karthik Madugula, on the active CEO Podcast.

6 Principles To Be A World Class Leader

Today we are talking about the 6 Principles to be a world class leader.

What separates the good leaders from the great? From the great leaders to the world class leaders?

This episode will explore my 6 principles that will allow you to be a world class leader.

First you need to effectively lead yourself, then you are in a position to lead other people. Refer back to the first 3 phases of Breaking The CEO Code – Foundation, Performance & Influence for ways to lead yourself effectively. Secondly you need to be prepared to leading where everything is not about you!

To be a world-class leader you need to develop 6 leadership principles.

PURPOSE Create A Ripple Effect
PEOPLE Serve People Who Matter
PERFORMANCE Productivity Starts With Happiness
PERSONALITY Unlock Your Limiting Beliefs
PASSION Influence From The Heart
PIONEER Life Is An Experiment

We introduce each principle in this active CEO Podcast episode and then will take a deep dive into each principle over the next 6 episodes.

PURPOSE Create A Ripple Effect – We dive into your own personal WHY, mission, vision and values. The most successful leaders have absolute clarity on their vision.

PEOPLE Serve People Who Matter – People are our greatest assets so it is important that you serve those who matter, through a coaching leadership approach where you create a growth and learning environment.

PERFORMANCE Productivity Starts With Happiness – Enjoyment is the greatest recruitment and retention tool in the world. Productivity and performance increases when people feel happy and enjoy what they do.

PERSONALITY Unlock Your Limiting Beliefs – people have subconscious beliefs that hold them back from achieving their potential. Lets unlock your personality and mindset so you can lead effectively.

PASSION Influence From The Heart – be the calming influence and emotional epicenter for the people you work with. When it comes from your heart you are genuinely authentic in the way you lead.

PIONEER Life Is An Experiment – Foster innovation and creativity through creating a learning environment where mistakes and failures are considered experiments and opportunities to grow and evolve.

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.

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?
