This episode provides an overview of the system but also contains some examples of how to improve these important aspects of leadership.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Leadership is important whether you lead a team or are on your own you will need to influence people to get things done.
• Fundamentally, leadership is about changing people´s state. Leading them to become better and work more effectively.
• People are not naturally unresourceful. Rather it is that they are in an unresourceful state. As a leader, you can change that state, so they become better and productive.
• S stands for Self, you need to lead yourself well to do the same with others.
• You need integrity. That means behaving in the right way in your private life as well as in public.
• Those who have presence, inspire others.
• When building relationships, focus on the long-term. 
• Influential leaders do not have to tell, they can sell the idea or change.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Leadership is about people…. Management is about activities and tasks.’

‘Is your integrity intact in public, but perhaps a little bit frail in private?’

‘Empathize by reframing, by having a consultative discussion with people.’

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.
