Active CEO Performance Tip

People Support What They Create – How often do you come up with a great idea, share it with your team, they agree, but they quickly lose interest?People will support what they create. If they aren’t involved in the development of a project, strategy or even a hire, then there is very little emotional connection to it and less likely to find the motivation to make it happen. Here are 3 ways to get employee or stakeholder buy in:1. Involve your team early, during the creation of an idea, project or strategy. 2. Position the idea so that it feels like your team came up with it. 3. Invite the team to determine the best way to solve a problem and deliver the outcome.

BUILD YOUR OWN TRIBE

Build Your OWN TRIBE – who are the mentors, coaches & people in your proximity

The recent events have led to a lot of self reflection, you realise you need to upskill and upgrade, but you don’t feel like you  have the right people around you to make the change

We usually surround ourselves with two types of people. First the cheerleaders and like minded-people who give us comfort through telling us what we want to hear and two those who distract us with negativity and lack of hope.

It is important to surround ourselves with people who ask the thought provoking questions, keep us accountable and ensure we stay true to our mission.

BUILD YOUR OWN TRIBE

Who are the mentors, coaches & people in your proximity?

  1. Identify and write down a list of every skill you want to upgrade
  1. Write down a list of people and/or types of people you need in your proximity to upgrade those skills
  1. Write down 3 curious questions that you would like to ask each person and make a phone call or send an email and ask for a virtual coffee
