TVC057 The 3 Pillars For Ultimate Leadership In Business and in Life
In this podcast I share the top 3 pillars of creating change as a leader and living the life you love, not only in business but in life with your family, with your friends and just for yourself.
As a parent you’re a leader.
As a good friend you’re a leader.
As a colleague you’re a leader.
As a Manager, as a CEO, as a Senior Executive, you’re a leader.
We are all leaders in life.
Whether you're running a business, building your own brand or just trying to balance family life with your own personal happiness - then you need this magic trifecta to have those around you acknowledge, understand and support what you do.
Leading from within
Leading by example
How to lead others
Here's what's up on today's post:
Why those three things all interconnect and are so vital for harmony, peace, and conviction when you really want to live a life you love - right now.
How can we create change, and be the change that we want to see
In the podcast I also discuss the power of the DNA model, recognising tight spots for growth and awareness. What to leave behind and what to take on with you each phase.
Here's how
Step 1: Lead From Within 
There are really no short-cuts to having a life that you love.  It is actually about living it yourself.  So whether you are talking about managing change for your own life, managing that of a company, I want to talk to you about the role of leadership - of being the best person you possibly can.
What lies behind us, and what lies before us, are tiny matter compared  to what lies within us. Ralph Waldo Emerson:
It doesn’t mean that you have to be an expert in all these areas of life or business.  Contrary to the point, great leaders continue to learn, hone their skills, keep informed, and look for fresh ideas.
Whatever it is, you need to keep educating yourself; test out your theories; do your research; and believe in your plans that you put into place. From admin and finance to fitness and family - we continually learn and evolve if we're open.
A great leader, a great parent, a great entrepreneur recognises the need to delegate too the values and skills that you need around you in your dream team.
Define your goals, then create a game plan.
Action those elements daily and weekly that reflect the direction you want to go.
 
Step 2: Lead by Example
If you don’t walk the talk, and demonstrate by example with consistency and integrity, then how can you expect those around you, those you work with, or your kids, to do the same?
Great leaders don’t tell you what to do, they show you how it’s done.
Once you start leading from within and practice what you preach, and actually put best practice into place, you can start leading by example.
We are all decision makers in our lives, whether it’s inside an organisation or just our own day-to-day life.
Do you want to grow a culture inside your family and inside your business that maintains it's values.
Do you want to have core performance.  To achieve what you want to do, and sustain it.
Do you want to be agile with change, go with a new strategy, overcome roadblocks, being flexible to deal with everything that comes across your path is vital.
Recognise your actions are backing up your words.
