Think Big Act Small

Andrew de Lautour is a quietly-spoken, quietly-confident, people leader that's making impressive progress in his career inside one of Australia's big four banks.

Right now, Andrew is State General Manager of Business Banking in NSW and ACT at the ANZ bank, where he leads a group of 170 team members. 

For more than 20 years, Andrew has grown himself, his career and the people around him at ANZ and on this episode, he shares some of that story and the lessons he's learning along the way.

I first met Andrew back in the early 2000s when we were both Uni students living on campus at The University of Melbourne. We’ve kept in touch over the years and I’m rapt to have him on the podcast so we can learn from and be inspired by his story.

Enjoy!

One of the most powerful things leaders can do is set the vision for their team, and then put in place a process of accountability to ensure the team focuses on the goal that has been set.

In my experience, to truly transform your business, to take it to the next level and beyond, you need to do more than just the basics. You need leadership that can view the bigger picture with passion, clarity and boldness.

In today's short solo episode, I want to encourage you to spend some time thinking big about the future and acting small by documenting a long term vision.

Enjoy!

Through his books, blog, courses and podcast, Seth Godin has curated heaps of ideas, experiences and inspiration that have helped me over the last decade or so.

To celebrate the recent 100th episode of TIME OUT, the live-streamed daily huddle that I host on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and now LinkedIn, I invited Seth to join me in a 5-min interview to share some of his important ideas with us.

In the interview, you’ll hear me mention the altMBA - an intensive 4-week online workshop that Seth curates and I attended in 2019. The altMBA opened my eyes to the idea that the so-called soft skills are actually the REAL skills that us leaders need to be focussed on.

You’ll also hear a mention of Seth’s new book, The Practice, which will be released later this year.

Enjoy!

This short solo episode is the third in a series of three episodes where I’ve shared my three learnings from the 3 hours I’ve spent online with Jim in the last few months.

Episode 68 dives into the third of those learnings with a focus on Jim’s practical, scientific and I reckon unusual approach to becoming more self aware.

Today, we're exploring his idea of studying ourselves like a bug...

Enjoy,

Tristan

This short solo episode is the second in a series of three where I share three learnings from the three online learning events by Jim Collins I’ve attended recently.

Jim is turning out to be one of the most important influencers of my adult life; and the team at The Physio Co has embraced his ideas that we then tailor to fit the unique culture we’ve created and continue to refine.

This episode dives into the second of those learnings with a focus on Jim’s thoughts on dealing with uncertainty and specifically addresses the question: What bullets and cannonballs should we fire? Timely!

Enjoy,

Tristan
