Hi everyone,
The answer is a resounding YES!
In fact, if we don’t, we lose contact with the real world. Yes, we must get our hands dirty and lead at the same time, but we must not cross the line of doing because others won’t, or to rescue.
You can be one of the team but remember you are also their leader and there is a line that should not be crossed otherwise you create a culture of dependency and/or of disempowerment.
However, there is no stronger transference of skills and attitude than when a leader simply leads by example. Showing people how to do something absolutely trumps just telling them.
We are often told that we should work on our business and not in it. Sorry, but I disagree – you can do both as long as you do it for the right reasons and take people on the journey with you.
So, if you are feeling guilty about being hands on – then don’t, it is how we stay relevant.
Have a great and productive week.

We are excited to announce that one of our most popular programs is about to be conducted face-to-face again in SA: Emerging Leaders (2 days). This program will run at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

Covid has meant isolation and believe it or not many of our team have never met face-to-face. This week Korrine Jones from QLD travelled to our Melbourne office to meet some of the VIC team for the very first time. While she was there, she delivered our Leadership Speak multi-session program, at the City of Stonnington.

CREATING AND LEADING A NO-WHINGE, SOLUTION-FOCUSED WORKPLACE.
Creating Positive Cultures is about giving people the skills and permission to destroy dysfunction, kill off negative influences and the space for all your positive people to shine and thrive.
Culture is all about your behaviours, it is what to do. So great leaders and workplaces don’t allow their culture to happen by default, they design it together by agreeing to operate above the line in a positive, professional and proactive way.
This allows for a psychological safe space to innovate, stay relevant, to fight clean to develop resilience, gratitude and a growth mindset, while giving staff permission to call people out on any toxic behaviours.
This results in a self-regulating culture where people celebrate achievements while creating great relationships, products and services.
