Today we take an inside look at the practices and principles that Robert employs in his company and how that impacts culture, performance and profitability. 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.
