At some point in their career every people manager has learned the importance of giving and receiving feedback. It’s a critical skill for anyone needing to engage with and influence another to do a job for them. A coaching client once said “The boss wants me to speak up more […]

Research tells us that individuals who set specific, difficult goals perform better than those who set general, easy ones. That makes sense when we define them for ourselves. What happens when someone else creates them for you? And what happens when your boss dreads the task? The reality is that […]

A lack of patience was one of my shortcomings when in salaried employment. Now, as CEO and business owner, that impatience for results is a prerequisite of the job. Nevertheless, infinite patience and utter impatience both have implications for long-term strategy. Also, they undermine corporate performance. Patience is a virtue. […]

Those of us with years of work experience under our belt are used to biding our time. We’re accustomed to waiting for clients to be ready, willing and able to work with us. We wait for cash to come into the bank. And we wait for people to deliver on […]

Research has shown that, the biggest challenge CEOs and MDs will ever have, is to balance immediate priorities whilst planning for the future. The following quote from Littlefinger (Game of Thrones) captured my imagination in relation to this concept: “All our troubles will come to an end; or life will […]

In the past I have set some big, hairy, audacious business goals. Then I’ve freaked out! Unless and until I revisit the ‘why’ question I won’t have the motivation to implement the goal. And a lack of drive puts a damper on creativity. We need our creative juices to flow […]

Ever think of yourself as a product in the business context? Well, you can be a source of product differentiation in the organisation; regardless of position. In fact, you already are, whether you know it or not. I was surprised the first time a student I didn’t know approached me […]

Reaching the top in any field is a momentous achievement. And no doubt it involves working hard over a prolonged period of time. Sustainable success, on the other hand, is an entirely different proposition. Since Novak Djokovic finally won the French Open – becoming the only man to hold all […]

A perceived lack of time usually results in a lack of personal motivation. General ‘busyness’ stops us from getting things done; specifically those tasks that we see as important. Let’s take reading as a case in point. Indeed, there are a lot of leadership books in my office ‘library’. I […]

That I do delayed gratification with aplomb is sometimes irksome to me. Mostly when I’m ready to do, be or have something and encounter a block of some kind. That’s when I become impatient. After all, I’ve waited long enough and I want the reward now! There’s a lot of […]

We’re all looking for inspiration. The inspiration to grow, develop and break out of self-imposed restraints. When we’re inspired then we act. And that action is fuelled by self-motivation. Early on in my career as a General Manager I discovered that you can’t motivate people; not really. That’s why organisations […]

Achieving success for the first time is hard enough. To sustain success once you’ve reached the pinnacle is exceptionally difficult to do. Pat Riley, a former coach and player in the National Basketball Association, wrote a book about his coaching career. He identified unexpected achievements, like Leicester City Football Club […]

If finding your niche is a key component of success then Mischa Zverev has the answer. He knows his niche as a tennis pro. Because of his recent performances the tennis world has been buzzing with chatter about the lost art of ‘serve and volley’ tennis. He’s the only male tennis […]

There are no guarantees for business success; we know this. And yet the thought piqued your interest just the same, did it not? Is that because the optimist in you can imagine the possibility? Of course, one of the great presuppositions of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) reminds us that ‘what’s […]

Remember when writing to a pen friend was a common form of communication? My mum had a pen pal when we were growing up. She lived in Cambridge and once a year would come up to Manchester and stay with us for a week or so. I can still recall […]
