06.01.2022 Could a large toy elephant transform your business? You’ve guessed it, Ellie is ‘the elephant in the room’, and she’s available for action if you want to call out something in a leadership team meeting. When you pick her up, the rest of the team know that you need to get something off your chest and it may ruffle a few feathers. One of the most powerful ways I’ve seen Ellie used was at a planning session when the CEO revealed that a co-owner hadn’t been doing their job for ma...ny months. The CEO grabbed Ellie, hugged her tight and talked about the co-owner's poor performance. She even dived deeper into an underlying issue around the co-owner’s values misaligning with the organisation. It was uncomfortable at times, but the Ellie-led intervention began a transformation that saw the co-owner dropped from the leadership team within six weeks, and they were out of the business within four months. The moral of the story? If you tackle the elephants in the room, you will make sure the business doesn’t end up as a white elephant. If you’re planning to grow your business in 2021, send me a message, and I’ll happily send you a copy of my book, Scaling Your Business in Unpredictable Times. #leadership #entrepreneur #teamhealth

05.01.2022 Do you think better when your hands are busy? Maybe you’re like Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) in A Few Good Men. The Navy lawyer grabs his baseball bat and says I think better with my bat when he’s plotting to nail Colonel Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson). Because of clients like Kaffee, I put things like fidget spinners and Rubik’s Cubes on the table during our quarterly planning days. Some people within a leadership team get more clarity around the business’s direction whe...n their hands are otherwise occupied. Plus, with no mobile phones allowed, the desktop toys are more of a tool to focus rather than a distraction. It works a treat, but having run planning sessions for businesses for many years now, I’m slightly disappointed by two things. 1. Nobody has ever finished a Rubik’s Cube. 2. No client has yelled, You can’t handle the truth! at their colleague (although a couple have come close). What do you do to focus the mind? Let me know in the comments. If reading a good book helps you focus, please send me a message, and I’ll happily send you a copy of my book, Scaling Your Business in Unpredictable Times. #leadership #entrepreneur #businessgrowth

02.01.2022 There’s light at the end of the tunnel but is anyone worried it just might be a bear with a flashlight*? Right now, thousands of Australian businesses are so keen to emerge from the tunnel they haven’t really considered that the ‘new normal’ could be an even scarier place. As the light gets closer, I think leadership teams have two options.... 1. ‘Fingers crossed its business as usual; let’s go!’ 2. Take a good look at the business and make strategic decisions now before everything gets lost in the day-to-day. I help my clients break everything down into manageable, bite-sized chunks, and now is definitely the time to look at short-term goals and the numbers that make the business tick. I use a tool called a ‘Scorecard’ that quickly and easily captures the handful of measurables leadership teams need to make decisions each week. It’s all the high-quality data that you’ll need to remain agile, and bear-bite free over the coming months. Are you ready to tame the bear? Come along to an upcoming Boardroom Insights Session where we shine a light on scorecards.
