In this reflection episode, I offer some thoughts on the conversation I had with my colleagues from The Leadership Context, a boutique consulting firm that I am co-founded with several friends and Partners. We regularly receive feedback that our programs are different. Why? Because they work! We talked about the principles of: Swimming in the context to ensure we are addressing the right areas, Aligning the program to specific parts of the organisational strategy, Getting hyper clear on a small number of objectives, Aiming for learning depth, Structuring groups to learn together which mitigates against losing the benefits when individuals leave the organisation, and myth busting mirrors! Effective leaders will always outperform ineffective leaders over time! Hi, I am Pod O'Sullivan. For over twenty years I have coached, mentored and supported corporate leaders and leadership teams all over the world to become impactful, effective and high performing. This is a podcast that taps into that experience. It is recorded for and about senior business leaders, C suite leaders, Founders and CEO's. I interview leaders and experts about ways to optimise leadership. What are the useful habits and thinking patterns? What are the secrets to high performing teams? How do they continue to nurture their effectiveness day after day? In other words, what is their leadership diet? www.theleadershipdiet.com
