Did you get all the issues out on the table❓

Leadership 1 Minute

There is often something deeper going on, and it is up to us as leaders to unlock what it is.

I remember so many one-to-one conversations where my intuition was shouting that something else was going on.

In my early career, I did not trust this. I wanted to do everything in an analytical way – fact and figures. The more I self-developed, the more I learnt that not trusting my gut would be a huge mistake.

This week we release the third chronicle and a story where Anders Liu-Lindberg shows genuine openness and vulnerability to share a “not so great story” for others to reflect on, from the 1st conversation of #globalleadershiphypothesis – what makes a great leader.

Food for thought – the power of great questions and getting to the bottom of things

💡 The power of “why” – Why did you proceed in that way? (understanding no blaming).

💡 Where am I falling short? So, I can learn, grow and develop as a leader.

💡 If something bothers you – ask why? Get it all out on the table.

💡 How can I get to the next level? Don’t tell me I’m great, and then you don’t help me to get to the next level.

Which other great questions do you regularly ask or reflect on❓

I understand the pressures facing finance professionals: Prioritisation, career progression, leadership & people dynamics. For a third of my career, I was operating at only half my potential. I was differentiating myself through my analytical mind. I had not yet learnt how to be a transformational and inspiring people leader. I realised from working with thousands of leaders for some big brands; Investec, KPMG and BMW, that greater impact can be found through a focus on people and leadership dynamics. I am an experienced C-Suite executive, non-executive director, entrepreneur, author and international speaker with more than 22 years of corporate experience. As the former CFO and CHRO of BMW UK Ltd. and BMW Financial Services Ltd., I understand the financial language of business, strategy, and risk and the pressures facing finance professionals. My vision is to help organisations and leaders to engage their people effectively. I have led and implemented award-winning cultural transformation programmes in multiple industries. I published my first book, “The Authenticity Dilemma Resolved®” in November 2016; which captures my experiences of working with thousands of leaders to increase their confidence and help them bring more of their real selves to all interactions to become inspiring, transformational leaders. I am passionate about helping to develop the generation of finance leaders; who have the mindset to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
