He has previously worked with diverse teams such as the Command Group of NATO, the South African Cricket Team, corporate leadership teams and in elite ballet.

Owen is a New Zealander with an Irish heritage and has a unique approach based on an evolutionary understanding of what makes a team of humans strong and weak.

There are some incredible insights and some wonderful ancient wisdoms that we have stopped listening to and Owen's mission is to re-introduce people to those ideas.

His book 'Belonging' is being released in paperback in the northern hemisphere (alongside the existing digital and audiobook) which looks at teaming through the lens of homo sapiens evolutionary story, our ancestor's wisdom and provides a glimpse into some elite contemporary environments.

In today's episode we talk about:

• The importance of communicating your values through stories, specifically the 'story of us' celebrating diversity but also anchoring it to a shared sense of identity
• How we should measure our lives by the impact we have on others
• The importance of painting a picture of shared vision and the research which underpins this
• Practical and profound ideas for embedding behaviours you want to see within your organisation
• The importance of living above the line to support high performance and how environment is critical to success.

Quote:

"Your time in the sun will be revealed in due course and that's how we understand our place in the world and our connection with other people."

Today, I am speaking with Dr. Geoff Smart.

Dr. Geoff Smart is the Chairman & Founder of ghSMART. Founded in 1995, ghSMART helps Fortune 500 CEOs & boards, billionaire entrepreneurs, and heads of state to confidently achieve their goals through hiring, developing, and leading talented teams. ghSMART serves clients globally from its 12 offices in North America and Europe.

For three consecutive years, Forbes named ghSMART the best management consulting firm in its industry segment, based on thousands of surveys of business leaders. The firm was named one of the world's top firms in the book The Art of Managing Professional Services. ghSMART is the subject of two Harvard Business School Cases, titled "ghSMART & Co.: Pioneering in Professional Services."

The firm has published three bestselling books. Who: The A Method for Hiring (Smart & Street) is a New York Times bestseller that is currently ranked #1 on Amazon.com on the topic of hiring talented teams. Shanghai Daily named Who a "Top 5 Business Book in China," Globe and Mail named it the "#1 Best Business Book of the Year," and the book was also listed in the 2015 Inc. Magazine article, "19 of the Best Books Written by Super‐Successful CEOs." Power Score: Your Formula for Leadership Success (Smart, Street, and Foster) is a Wall Street Journal bestseller, and appeared on an international newspaper's list of "The 10 Best Business Books of 2015." The CEO Next Door (Botelho & Powell) is a critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller.

In addition, Dr. Smart published Leadocracy: Hiring More Great Leaders (Like You) into Government, a New York Times bestseller which won the IPPY Award and the Axiom Book Award for #1 Best Business Book of the Year. In the 1990s, Dr. Smart co‐created the Topgrading brand for talent management. He earned a B.A. in Economics with honors from Northwestern University, and a M.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology from Claremont Graduate University, where he was a student of management guru Peter F.

• The fundamental elements of ghSMART's own scaling success

• Hiring mistakes to avoid
• How best to structure the conversations so that everyone can benefit from your scaling success
• Three characteristics of high performing teams
• Four traits of great leaders

Key Takeaway "Scaling with purpose is about aspiring to build a business that matters and has a net positive effect on the world.

Great businesses are founded under the premise that helps someone solve a real need or problem. It is about building a business that has a big impact on others. Scaling a business without purpose would be blindly trying to make the revenue and profits go up without much regard for those who benefit."

In today's episode I'm delighted to introduce Claire Colvin. Claire has worked as a partner to business leaders and entrepreneurs of high growth businesses helping them to scale through their people. As the former Talent Director on the Board of a rapidly growing global organisation, Claire built the optimum people centred structures and systems to enable the company to significantly scale across 6 continents. Prior to that, she spent almost 15 years with an award winning, technology SME, which operated in a highly competitive environment.

Finding great talent is the #1 reason why businesses are unable to scale. In 2019, Claire became my business partner and we set out on a journey of discovery to extensively research exemplars of scaling to identifying the key attributes that made them successful.

In today's episode, Brendan and Claire talk about:

• Their favourite moments from Season 3
• The importance of developing others and ourselves
• How diversity can bring diverse thinking and innovation to your business
• Why a crisis mentality in business can be a positive thing
• The importance of resilience
• The power of purpose
• The importance if of taking thinking time

Key Takeaway

"Creating a crisis mentality in business triggers and seeds a mindset that is open to change. I have found that we were at our most innovative during the Dotcom bubble, 911 and the Global Financial Crisis. Each of these events were a catalyst for innovation in our product set and in our processes and forced us to change. A crisis mentality ensures that you don't keep doing what you have always done."

Garry has been with WD-40 Company since 1987 in various management positions, including Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Vice President of International. He has worked directly with WD-40 in 50 countries.

Garry holds a philosophy on company culture which is based on a quote from Aristotle – "Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work." He turns that philosophy into action every day in WD-40. He believes that all leaders can create a workplace where you go to work each day, make a contribution to do something bigger than yourself, learn something new and feel safe and protected. That belief extends to WD-40's values which he credits with giving freedom to employees as well as happiness.

Garry is an adjunct professor at the University of San Diego and teaches leadership development, talent management and succession planning in the Master of Science in Executive Leadership program.

He has a litany of awards including Director of the Year for Enhancement of Economic Value by the Corporate Directors Forum in 2003 and the Arthur E Hughes Career Achievement Award from the University of San Diego in 2004. In 2009, Garry co-authored a book with Ken Blanchard titled "Helping People Win at Work: A Business Philosophy called "Don't Mark My Paper, Help Me Get an A", Release in May 2009, FT Press. #MG 100 coach.

Key points we talk about include:

• How he increased market cap by 10X whilst at the same time recording employee engagement at 93%
• The three components of scaling success
• How Garry broke down a culture of fear to cultivate one that celebrates learning moments
• Garry's greatest learning moment from the pandemic
• Why creating a tribe culture is more impactful than having a team

Key Takeaway

"Fear is the most debilitating emotion we have. I wanted to take the word 'failure' out of the organisation but equally didn't want to make people think that we were never going to fail. I also wanted to create a culture of learning. We took the word 'failure' out and replaced it with 'learning moments.'

A learning moment is a positive or negative outcome of any situation that needs to be openly and freely shared to benefit all people."
