Greetings
Priest Story
My background – psychology – trainer and social entrepreneur
Let us look at three key areas – lessons from the ground.
Volatile – Uncertain – complex – Ambiguous
Point of View Intro
Why are CEOs awake at night – Global Survey
Leadership gaps
Unable to inspire and motivate the team to fulfill the vision
Inability to deliver the results.
Lack of Values
Narrow focus instead of larger goals
Keeps the CEO awake at night
Leadership is No 1 Challenge
Reasons Supporting Point of View
LEADERS no longer have the presence
No longer walk the talk
If u want to be the person u want to be you must Walk, Talk and Behave like the person u want to be
Example
Everyone wants to be a successful leader but the success is NOT defined
Point of View Summary
This simply worries CEOs.
Leadership must be accompanied by values at all levels
When I migrated from a trainer to a consultant and then to author, it was about talking and then sharing.
I was able to observe and report and with the little experience I gained, I shared to the best of my ability. I wrote 16 books.
My sons told me Dad we never read any of your books.
You teach best what you need most.
In the world of business when you deal with hundreds of millions and a short time cycle Q to Q. The market punishes you on almost anything that it sees as non performance.
As an entrepreneur I found the experiences of learning and development very different.
Acquisition 1 – we made the right people choices and we succeeded
Acquisition 2 – we hired some great people and it turned out to be poor selection choices
Acquisition 3 – we worked with Gen Y – it was a completely different experience.
Management Process and architecture was not there – we had to put that in. This is where t was all about Action Learning.
As we grew into a large organisation we could feel the leadership gaps.
Leadership is both functional competence and an helicopter ability. It is about managing the chaos.
Our objectives were three:
We wanted to build a talent pipeline, we wanted succession, we wanted leadership at all levels.
HR and Training gave me a list of course but for me that was not the answer, it was about learning through experiences, problems in a structured way.
The story of good decisions – experience – poor decisions
Arasu – Azlan – Ann Nei – Subra
Issues that were critical to the organisation
Knowledge was residing within people – tacit to explicit
Wanted people to learn on the job solving issues in small teams. Reflect and learn.
Internal Coaches and External Coaches
Build a culture where problems get resolved and they learn from that – we wanted the learning to be institutionalised as a best practice
3 questions always and reflected.
One on one engagement sessions critical conversations – questions reframing the issue
Getting a structure around it
Who knows what we are doing – FACTS
Who cares about getting it accomplished (intent)
Who can get it done (Power)
Opportunity – Issue
Engagement – getting them to want to do it
Collaboration – working in teams
Champions
Reflection

Point of View Summary
TRUST is a significant component to inspire and motivate.
Trust is an important element for Coaching.
We used external coaches.
Learning points – Profit is down but Costs are up
We want them to figure where the costs areas are
Challenge is how do we have at all levels
