Nick reflects upon the business wisdom of Jack Welch, the author of ‘Jack: Straight From The Gut’, and ‘Winning’, with a particular focus on leadership, and why we must make the tough decisions in order to ensure that our businesses can grow, and that we remain on a winning path.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When we transition to our scale-up phase, it is the movement between being able to work independently versus the ability to build a team and lead effectively.
- As leaders, we must be able to coach people so that they can advance. Everyone at your organisation is not necessarily thinking about business goals from the viewpoint of a founder.
- Honesty and transparency in communication is vital. There’s no point in sugar-coating a message when it requires clarity of communication.
- Our jobs as leaders are to define thew ways in which we intend to win. Our values and behaviours demonstrate how we will get there.
