Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg looks at why a smaller percentage of women
than men reach the top of their professions.
“…women systematically underestimate their
own abilities. If you test men and women, and
you ask them questions on totally objective
criteria like GPAs, men get it wrong slightly
high, and women get it wrong slightly low.”
“Women do not negotiate for themselves in
the workforce. A study in the last two
years of people entering the workforce out
of college showed that 57 percent of boys
entering, or men, I guess, are negotiating
their first salary, and only seven percent of
women.”
In what other areas are we not negotiating, or raising
our hands with confidence?

14. 1. Non-negotiables
How do you ensure your team’s
culture sings the same rhythmic
tune as your organisations vision
and values?
What are your non-neogtiables as a
leader?
• Setting team agreements
• Conscious and unconscious
behaviours that are given
permission – who has training?

15. 2. Setting your team’s direction:
How do you align the direction of
your team with the direction of the
business?
How are the decision making
capacities of your team and yourself
as a leader impact your business?
• Expectations
• Travelling wells (KPI’s)

16. 3. Flexibility
We all know we have three circles to manage in our life.
How do we manage the flexibility required for each circle?
Which has the loudest voice?
1. Your circle of influence
2.Your circle of concern
3. Your circle of control

17. 4. Commitment
Coaching College’s theory – your team is a mirror of
your leadership.
You can only manage if you measure…………………..
As a leader how do you demonstrate your commitment to
measuring success? If you were to take a helicopter view of
your team’s culture on a scale of 1 – 5; how would you rate
that your team demonstrates their commitment to
measuring their success?
If it’s in your heart, it’s in your head

18. How are the daily lessons/
learnings record for each
team member’s personal
