Thinking Leaders

Despite offering pay rises, incentives and bonuses, some organisations continue to face high turnover rates. ⁣ Why? Because no amount of monetary rewards can truly replace a sense of satisfaction and fulfilment among team members. ⁣ Effective leadership is about helping individuals find their best selves and fostering a meaningful connection with their work. ⁣ One way to achieve this is through SMART goal-setting. This approach isn’t just about reaching targets, it involves providing clear direction, helping team members prioritise key objectives, and guiding them through obstacles. ⁣ When employees understand their goals and why they matter, they develop a stronger sense of purpose, motivation, ownership and trust - all essential elements for fulfilment and job satisfaction. ⁣ I'm offering free strategy sessions for leaders committed to empowering their teams through self-leadership to boost their performance and create a positive workplace culture. ⁣ On our call, we’ll explore actionable strategies to overcome challenges that hinder your team’s self-leadership, enabling them to transform into a high-performing team that achieves outstanding results for your organisation. ⁣ Feel free to check if there are still spaces available here:  https://lnkd.in/gBFkmxk6 ⁣ #highperformingleaders #leadership #executives #peakperformance

Goal-setting isn’t just about personal success.

From feeling out of sync to leading with clarity and purpose 🙌 ⁣ When Hayley came to me, she knew she had the potential to do more but found herself stuck in patterns that didn't serve her.  ⁣ She felt misaligned - not quite embodying the leader she envisioned for herself and often fighting self-doubt about her decisions and impact. ⁣ Through working together, she made a bold decision to hold herself accountable, confront areas of misalignment, and take charge of her own growth.  ⁣ This mindset shift wasn't easy, but it was what she needed and it was truly powerful.  ⁣ She realized that leadership is a journey of constant refinement, where every area of life is interconnected. "How we do one thing is how we do everything," as she put it. ⁣ Today, she’s a leader who embodies confidence, integrity, and alignment.  ⁣ She has transformed her approach not only in her role but in her entire life, making choices with clarity and leading by example. ⁣ If you’re also a leader eager to support your team and organisation through self-leadership in order to develop a culture that thrives... ⁣ Comment "LEADERSHIP" below, and I’ll send you more details on the next steps. ⁣ #teamperformance #leadership #goalsetting

Tired of frequent turnover within your organisation? ⁣ It's a major challenge many organisations face despite their best efforts to provide pay raises, bonuses, and skills training. ⁣ You might notice your team feeling burned out, becoming less engaged with their work, and being frequently absent. ⁣ This usually happens when the focus is on short-lived external motivators such as rewards and incentives, rather than on internal drivers such as personal growth, shared vision, or meaningful impact. ⁣ As a result, your team may end up feeling like they’re just ticking tasks off a checklist rather than contributing to a shared purpose. ⁣ Here's the thing - true performance shouldn’t be forced; it should be nurtured and cultivated. ⁣ The key to achieving this is by empowering your team through SMART goal-setting. ⁣ When you equip your teams with clear, meaningful goals, you create a culture of ownership, trust, and accountability. ⁣ Instead of focusing solely on external rewards, align each of your team member with a purpose that drives collaboration and proactive engagement. ⁣ Goal-setting is more than just achieving targets. ⁣ It’s about giving your team a clear direction, helping them prioritise what truly matters, and supporting them in tackling challenges with confidence, creativity, and resilience. ⁣ When your people understand what they’re working toward, how it connects to their personal and professional aspirations, and why it matters, it shifts their mindset from simply “doing a job” to actively contributing to a shared vision. ⁣ Imagine the impact when your whole organisation is aligned, motivated, and working toward common goals.  ⁣ This doesn’t just improve individual performance, it also creates a positive, forward-thinking culture where everyone feels part of something bigger. ⁣ By providing clarity, focus, and motivation, you as a leader can empower your teams to rise above the status quo and work cohesively towards common objectives. ⁣ Curious about how effective goal-setting can reshape your team’s performance and elevate your workplace culture? Send me a message today! Let's discuss the actionable strategies to make this transformation happen.  ⁣ #teamperformance #leadership #goalsetting

When leaders take the time to understand these dynamics, they can harness their team’s strengths during decision-making processes.  ⁣ This not only enhances the quality of decisions but also fosters a culture of collaboration and empowerment.  ⁣ By leveraging diverse perspectives, you can navigate challenges more effectively and drive your teams towards success. ⁣ If you’re a leader looking to explore how thinking and behaviour styles principle can build a high-performing team and thriving workplace culture... ⁣ Click here for more details: https://lnkd.in/gBFkmxk6 ⁣ #leadership #performingleaders #executives #leadershipstrategy

On Wednesday, I had the pleasure of attending my first Queensland Peer Advisory Group session with the Advisory Board Centre — a fantastic experience! 🌟 ⁣ I was honoured to join Andrew MacDonell on a panel to share insights and case studies on “Preparing for the Future: Sustainability, Investor Readiness, Merger Readiness, and Future Fit.”  ⁣ We had an engaging and thought-provoking conversation with the other members, exploring the diverse perspectives we bring to advising our clients, from finance to human capital. ⁣ When it comes to human capital 👥, challenges vary across different sectors: ⁣ • 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗠𝗘𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿-𝗟𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀: Transitioning to an executive-led structure and preparing successors to lead without your constant involvement. • 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀: Building a strong talent pipeline to drive strategy, foster innovation and compliance. • 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗡𝗙𝗣𝘀: Focussing on developing leaders who can ensure mission continuity and embody your organisation’s values. ⁣ No matter the type of organisation, future planning starts with a clear vision of desired outcomes – we must start with the end in mind. It’s about understanding what success looks like and working backwards to build a strategy that gets you there. ⁣ One of the highlights of the meeting was connecting with fellow Advisory Board members — a mix of familiar faces and new connections. It’s the strength of these relationships that makes our work impactful. ⁣ A huge thank you to Penny Ellenger for the invitation and the opportunity to be part of such a dynamic panel, and Mary Goodwin and Mark Cranny for doing a brilliant job of Chairing and co-ordinating the meeting. ⁣ Being an Advisory Board Executive Chair is a privilege, giving us the opportunity to contribute to our clients’ success in meaningful ways. ⁣ If you're interested in discussing how we can help shape your business's future, I’d love to chat! 💬 ⁣ #AdvisoryBoard #Leadership #Impact #HumanCapital #FutureReady #BusinessGrowth

Many organisations run into issues after making quick decisions. ⁣ This usually happens because they haven’t fully tapped into their team’s unique strengths or recognised the different ways their people think and work best. ⁣ When leaders take the time to truly understand their team’s thinking and behaviour styles, they can use these strengths to make faster, insightful, and high-impact decisions. ⁣ This approach not only helps prevent unnecessary setbacks but also fosters a dynamic and collaborative culture where team members feel empowered to contribute their perspectives. ⁣ I'm offering free strategy sessions for leaders committed to empowering their teams through self-leadership to elevate performance and create a positive workplace culture. ⁣ On our call, we’ll explore actionable strategies to overcome challenges that hinder your team’s self-leadership, enabling them to transform into a high-performing team that achieves outstanding results for your organisation. ⁣ Spots are limited, so check if there are still spaces available here:  https://lnkd.in/gBFkmxk6 ⁣ #leadership #performingleaders #executives #leadershipstrategy

On Wednesday, I had the privilege of facilitating a workshop at the Ark Energy Corporation offsite conference, where we explored "Mastering Flexibility and Adaptability: Rethinking How You Respond to Change." 🌍 ⁣ Together, we dug deep into what it means to be adaptable and flexible, recognising how fear can keep us within our comfort sones. We discussed how to have respectful conversations (and even spirited debates!), how to broaden our perspectives, and the power of self-leadership—that everyone is a leader no matter your role title. ⁣ One of the biggest insights was understanding how our thinking and behaviour directly impact our results. We are all responsible for how we show up and respond to challenges, and by taking ownership of our actions, we not only enhance our own resilience but inspire others to do the same. ⁣ Diversity in backgrounds, experiences and thought processes is essential to success. Embracing flexibility allows us to transform challenges into opportunities and builds a culture of innovation and growth. 🌈 ⁣ Thank you Terri O'Dell for the opportunity to be part of this incredible initiative. I look forward to supporting the inspiring work you and the team at Ark Energy are doing. ⁣ #Leadership #SelfLeadership #PersonalAccountability #Adaptability #HighPerformance #Diversity #ChangeManagement #Flexibility
