Leadership is everything. If you are not leading other people, you are leading yourself.
According to Jo Owen, ‘Leaders have to take people they do not control to where they would not have got by themselves.’
‘You have to be the leader people want to follow, rather than the leader people have t0 follow.’
‘There is one secret weapon you can deploy to build trust: listen.’
‘Letting people talk takes more time than simply telling them what to do.’
‘The best leaders do not compromise on expectations for themselves or their team.’
‘An audience is more likely to remember you than your message.’
‘Focus on the right goal, with the right team and with the right role.’
‘Keep on pushing your story and pushing your facts relentlessly.’
‘If you set low target, you can be sure that you will achieve low results– targets tend to be self-fulfilling.’
‘You will need people with resilience, creativity, and innovative to help you through the tough patches.’
