Active CEO Performance Tip

Build Your OWN TRIBE To Upgrade Yourself – 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. Who are the mentors, coaches & people in your proximity? 1. Identify and write down a list of every skill you want to upgrade. 2. Write down a list of people and/or types of people you need in your proximity to upgrade those skills. 3. 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.

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.
