“The key to successful leadership today is
Ken Blanchard
influence, not authority”
Everyone is unique and their perspectives are different, based on many vital influences such as their own life experiences, culture, learning styles, personality type and education.
Who do you trust to be yourself with?
Everywhere we look, we are bombarded with cost savings, process improvement, blame, responsibility, poor behaviours and stress. Seemingly out of nowhere, business leaders are at last realising the importance of taking time for themselves
just to think, and take time out of the normal working environment to replenish their energy. For many senior business people Artemis & Apollo has become that place where everyone can be themselves, and feel that they are able to contribute their views and that these will be valued in a trusted and professional environment.
Are these some of the contradictions you might currently think about?:
- You really do want help and advice. The fact that no one seems prepared to come off the fence and offer a solution is a source of considerable irritation.
- Some of the advice you have been getting has been poor, with the result that recent judgements have been questioned.
- There is no one in the organisation you trust to have the really difficult ‘wicked problem’ discussion.
- Your top colleagues seem to keep disappointing you.
- You’re every move is analysed. You need to be immediately available. One slip can destroy you.
- You wonder if you are taking on too much. Are you out of your depth?
- You find yourself less tolerant of criticism.
- You talk to yourself more than you used to do.
