Leading when things are tough

How to Take the Lead

We are back with our third series, and in this first episode we are talking about how you can lead when things are tough. We are all tired, we have moved from one crisis to another with no time to catch a breath, we have lots going on in life AND we still need to lead.

In this episode we share our own views, thoughts and experiences:

• 04:08 – knowing where to start
• 05:10 – working out what you can control and act on
• 11:15 – we don’t have to be the saviour
• 17:09 – leadership mindset
• 22:55 – don't demote development
• 28:48 – How to ... do things differently in 2023!

As always we share our top takeaways and in this episode we are all about actions not words – work out where you can add the most value and take action. Ask people what they need from you as a leader but don’t ask for permission to make changes. And look after yourself, it’s important for you and to role model to your teams.
