KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Most companies are good at training employees to do their job. But very few train them to treat each other in the right way.
• Leaders need to understand the personal missions of each person they lead and help them to fulfil them, while also playing their role in achieving the business´ mission.
• Leaders set the tone. The best way to teach is to lead by example.
• Leaders need to live by the 10 Wes too and be prepared to be challenged diplomatically by our colleagues.
• Challenging others has to be done in the right way.
• Consistently doing the right thing is essential.
• Our commitments to our teammates and internal customers are just as important as those we make to our customers.
• Be tough on the mistakes, not on the people who make them.
• Challenges come regardless, embrace them, let them galvanise you and be ready to change if you need to.
• Care about what you do and your impact on others.

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
