Debbie.thompson@groupability.com.au. 5 Leadership Lessons from Stephen King. Leadership lessons from Stephen King? He’s not a leader . I grew up playing softball a lot. I remember, as a young girl, sleeping with my new glove under my pillow to soften it up. Night after night you could find me throwing the ball around with my older brother, focusing on getting both accuracy and power into my game. Because I had never played cricket. The value of cross-contextual learning. Stephen King’s writing is simple&...

http://www.groupability.com.au/warning-dont-get-the-right-people-on-the-bus

Debbie.thompson@groupability.com.au. Warning: Don’t Get the Right People on the Bus. Categories : Leading Others. What is it that makes a team? Author Jim Collins, who wrote the business classic “Good to Great,” told us to make sure we had the right people on the bus. The analogy has become a bit of a cliché in the business world, and leaders and consultants everywhere are talking about getting the right people on the bus and getting the wrong people off the bus.

Debbie.thompson@groupability.com.au. How Knowing My Style Made Me a Better People Leader [Video]. Categories : Leading Others.

Last week I presented to a business group on the four main behavioural styles. The presentation was videoed, and my 11 year old son Ben watched the playback with me. I know who you are, but who am I? When I rea...

Debbie.thompson@groupability.com.au. Use This One Word to Make People Talk. You’re sitting with a group of people who trust you, who are capable, and who know that you want them to come up with a solution to a problem. And they really do want to please you. So you ask them to come up with a solution, and you get nothing but the sound of rustling papers and shifting bodies. Why aren’t they saying anything? They’re afraid of getting it wrong. Asking people to come up with a solution can seem like a test&#4...

Debbie.thompson@groupability.com.au. Do You Make this Critical Leadership Mistake? Categories : Leading Others. What mistake has your team losing trust for you by the second? I spent a good part of this past weekend helping my 8-year-old memorise his two-to-three minute public speaking assignment for school and speak it with expression. In order to do that, I created a system. Because it was no longer my system. It was our system. The danger of ignoring the system. All organisations have systems and poli...

Debbie.thompson@groupability.com.au. How to be Convincing as a Leader. Have you ever been frustrated when you need someone to make a decision, or take an action, and it just takes way too long? Some people are easy to influence. But there were a large number of people who I needed to practically hound or at least that’s what it felt like – in order to get any sort of agreement from them, on just about anything!

http://www.groupability.com.au/styles-communicators-you

Debbie.thompson@groupability.com.au. Four Styles of Communicators Which One Are You? I remember a fortnightly meeting I used to have with two colleagues. While the meetings were ok, they were a bit hit and miss in terms of focus. Sometimes my colleagues would participate, and sometimes I felt like I was dragging them into the conversation, kicking and screaming. Until I learned about the four styles of communicators.

Debbie.thompson@groupability.com.au. How to Avoid “What-Could-Have-Been” Leadership Remorse. What would happen if you went too far? I watched my son dodge waves at the beach this chilly winter morning. He’d watch a wave come in, let it get within a metre or so of him, and then he’d run up the sand until he was beyond the reach of the water.
