Peak Performance Leadership

It happens commonly in all organizations. You've been promoted. Congratulations! However, now you are no longer a peer with your subordinates, you are their supervisor. The relationship has changed, you are still the same person who you were earlier but they no longer see it that way. It's a tricky situation to navigate which if done wrong can result in a lack of respect and trust, and ultimately broken relationships.

However, it does not have to be that way. Former peers now subordinates and you can have a healthy relationship moving forward, it will just take a little bit of time and a whole lot of effort on your part.

Topics

During this episode I discuss the following topics:

• How to overcome impostor syndrome
• Setting expectations with friends who are now subordinates
• Dealing with former peers who wanted your position as well
• How to earn trust and respect of your team

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported an estimated 840,000 blind spot accidents occur in the United States each year, resulting in around 300 fatalities. If that is what occurs while driving an automobile, an activity which many of us do everyday, imagine what it is doing to your organization. Blind spots can sink an organization as fast as a car can get into an accident. It’s time to bring the death of those blindspots and your BS along with it. 

 A sought-after keynote speaker, Likky Lavji is passionate about helping others “break barriers” to unleash their human potential. In fact, his middle name, Madat, translates to ‘help’ and he channels this into providing value in every relationship he has – personal and professional. With over 25 years as a CEO of a top IT company, Likky’s extensive experience in executive leadership has given him a unique perspective that remains unchartered by leaders and organizations in understanding the layers beneath human behavior and how it impacts growth and productivity of an organization. He has been acknowledged by prominent organizations, including Telus Corporation, Lenovo Canada and Royal Bank of Canada for his ability to create mindset shift when it comes to commitment and powerful performance to achieve results.

Topics

During this interview Likky and I discuss the following topics:

• How BS will destroy your leadership
• Why trust is important in eliminating your blind spots
• The different Blind Spot types
• How to be aware of your blind spots
• How to start addressing your blind spots
• Lessons from his failures as a leader
• The best ways to build cohesion and loyalty in a team

Most leaders don’t know what organisational culture is. They know it’s the defining factor in performance, but are unsure how to identify or change it, despite the profound impact it has on

every single aspect of the organisation. Culture is the rules of belonging. Change those rules and you’ll change your culture. Change your culture and you’ll change your results.

 Fiona Robertson is an expert in organisational culture, leadership and teamwork who holds an MBA from London Business School and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company

Directors (GAICD) and the Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership. She is the former Head of Culture for the National Australia Bank, has worked in and consulted to dozens of blue-chip corporates and all levels of government in Australia, and coached numerous senior executives in large and small organizations. Other clients have included the Australian

Graduate School of Management (AGSM), ANZ Bank, NCR, Monash College, Swinburne University, RMIT Online and IBM. Fiona is now an independent culture change keynote speaker, facilitator and coach for senior executives.

Topics

During this interview Fiona and I discuss the following topics:

• How culture and belonging will help leaders achieve peak performance
• How to drive cultural change in using belonging principles
• How to connect a disconnect between cultural expectations and actions
• How leaders can engage their people to drive cultural change
• How to enable subordinates to bring forward ideas 
• How to manage the differences in interpretation

If America were an NCAA basketball team, we’d be looking at a 0-32 season. Employees are missing crucial shots as job worries spike to levels we haven’t seen in years. Our co-workers and communities have split into politically polarized shirts vs. skins, and as a result, we’re fouling out and fumbling mission-critical assists. The answer, say authors Lynn Guerin and Jason Lavin, is to unify our teams like legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden did. Wooden wasn’t only a record-breaking coach who won 38 straight NCAA tournaments and 10 championships in 12 short years. He was a beloved mentor and teacher, and his lessons are more relevant today than ever.

 Lynn Guerin is CEO of The John R. Wooden Course and president and “Head Coach” of his family-owned coaching, training, and performance development firm, Guerin Marketing Services. For the past 20 years, he has had the unique privilege of partnering with legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden and the Wooden family. 

Topics

During this interview Lynn and I discuss the following topics:

• How the principles of his book will help leaders achieve peak performance
• What makes a great coach
• How leading by example is crucial to success
• Why being a teacher is important as a leader
• How to be humble to talk about your failures
• How to create a sustained peak performance

Culture is the biggest topic in the world right now - and the number one determinant of organizational success - yet it’s often put in the ‘too hard to change’ basket. For too long leaders have applied lip service responses or quick-fix solutions to culture change that don't actually affect behaviour change or else provide any improvements to people’s working lives. This needs to change.

Workplace culture specialist and best-selling author Colin D Ellis provides a practical culture toolkit of 26 tried and tested ideas that you can put into practice right now, regardless of where people are based. It’s through these simple and actionable ideas that over time can transform the way that work gets done. From emails to book clubs and meetings to podcasts, Ellis shows readers how to take regular steps to build a fantastic work culture that everyone wants to be a part of.

Changing your culture doesn’t need to be hard, and Culture Hacks empowers you with the actions needed to transform your working day so that you’re fit for the future of work.

Author Colin D Ellis is an award-winning international speaker, best-selling author and renowned culture change expert who works with organizations around the world to help them transform the way they get things done. He draws on more than 30 years of public and private sector leadership experience in the UK, New Zealand and Australia.

Topics

During this interview Colin and I discuss the following topics:

• How you as a leader can “hack” your culture
• How meetings drain your culture
• Finding a way to trust in your team and culture
• Why failing will tighten your organization not divide it
• How hobbies can bring your team together
• Why starting a podcast will improve your culture
• How sports can build your culture
