    Manage a little less and lead a little more

    • When the markets get tough, business gets even tougher.
    • It is those that are truly special, and unique that will rise above the rest, it is therefore time to break free from the pack.
    • Leadership can be exhibited throughout any organization, and is not the sole domain of those at the top of the tree.
    • Management is the sole thing keeping engines running in many businesses, however it’s not enough. Leadership is the differentiator.
    • Focus should be shifted from ‘not wanting to lose’ to wanting to win.
    • Everyone should try to see what lies within their grasp and make the changes that could trigger the most profound effects on the organization.

    The age of uncertainty

    • During the good times, it is often enough with a decent approach to management to get by.
    • It is during tough times that leadership counts, especially when there is uncertainty in the air.
    • It’s not about strategy but about culture and engagement.
    • Uncertainty breeds fear, and fear does not produce positive behaviour or results.
    • It is time to put leadership back on the agenda.

    Culture is more powerful than strategy

    • The corporate culture is the personality of the organization, it is the way a company does business and how it conducts itself – setting both the foundations of your employees’ beliefs and expectations of work.
    • The culture is what you stand for, and if it is done correctly, it is stronger than any leader or individuals.
    • Only way to change a negative and cynical culture into a high performing culture is through leadership.
    • It is important to have strong and visible role models who epitomize the values all of the time.
    • People are important, and great people will make even the most ordinary strategy sparkling.
