As a CEO himself, Robert advises leaders to know who you are as a leader, what you expect from your team and to be consistent around that. Vision, core values, goals and targets all contribute to the culture of your organization and must be front and center at all times.
How do you find good people? Robert explains the importance of emphasizing your unique culture during the hiring process, creating the space for the right people to show up and the wrong people to self-deselect.
Capacity building is not about volume – getting more done in a day – it’s about better outcomes. In fact, often it’s fewer inputs but the right things that lead to better outcomes. Robert finishes our conversation by unpacking the 4 domains in which he helps his people build their capacity – both personally and professionally – and offers several fun and creative examples on how you can do the same.
Key Takeaways
- Know who you are as a leader and what you expect, and be consistent around that.
- Defining a good culture is not a universal thing. A good culture is right for some and not for others.
- One of the biggest frustrations employees have is when what is said and what is done are two different things.
- Your core values are an internal thing – within the DNA of the best people at your company.
- If you have a tough decision to make, one or more of your company’s core values should guide you in that.
- When a mistake is made or there’s a client problem, create the opportunity for everyone to learn from it not just the person or department directly involved.
- Capacity building is not about volume, getting more done in a day, it’s about better outcomes. In fact often it’s fewer inputs but the right things that lead to better outcomes.
