What does it take to get the best out of people? Well, firstly, they must be in the right roles. How do we ensure that? The last couple of years and because of this pandemic, CEOs may be asking themselves if they are in the right business and if they have the right organizational structure for growth. It all boils down to the leadership structure. In this episode, I target the pressing questions to lead you to the right path in having people in the organization work on the roles that work for them.

In this episode:

  • I discuss about John C. Maxwell and why you should look into The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership
  • I share insights on the quote from the book Leadership Gold and the significance of roles and task delegation within the company 

Key Takeaways:

  • Identify your employees and let them do what’s best for them
  • Consider the existing skill set and experience of people
  • Be smart about utilizing the people well
  • Be wary of not having the right people in the team
  • Undermining the attributes of high performers is the worst
  • Be clear on what you want to happen in the organization
