Ive continued my exploration of leadership principles from "Legacy" by James Kerr, this time diving into the powerful concept of "Follow the Spearhead." Lead from the Front In the fast-paced world of sales, effective leadership can make all the difference. The All Blacks understand this well, embodying the principle of "Follow the Spearhead," which means leading from the front. Kerr puts it, "To lead, be out in front." Leadership isn't just about giving orders from the sidelines; it's about setting the example and blazing the trail for others to follow. The All Blacks' captains and senior players take this responsibility seriously, demonstrating the values, work ethic, and commitment expected of the entire team. Takeaway: Lead by example. Show courage, determination, and integrity in your actions, inspiring others to give their best and follow your lead. As sales leaders and executives, let's embrace the spirit of the spearhead, guiding our teams with clarity, purpose, and conviction. By leading from the front, we empower our teams to achieve greatness and overcome any challenge that comes our way. How do you embody the principle of "Follow the Spearhead" in your leadership style?

🌟 Big personal update: After two years of engagement(and 5 years together), my partner and I have finally locked in a venue and set a wedding date! Choosing this date wasn't just about finding the perfect moment for us; it was about aligning it with the rhythms of running a high-growth consulting firm. Leading a business like ours is more than a full-time job. It's about making sacrifices, often putting the needs of the team and clients before our own. This journey isn't just ours; it's shared with a dedicated team of 12, whose unwavering commitment makes these personal milestones possible. Their ability to keep the wheels turning, especially during our brief step away, is nothing short of remarkable. To every leader out there, remember the importance of your team. They're not just supporting the business; they're supporting you. Here's to those who stand with us in our professional and personal journeys! #leadership #announcement

The price of great leadership has never been so cheap! The more I step into the arena, the more I learn of poor or lack thereof leadership in the work place. As disappointing as that may be - I really do understand the importance of having great leadership Jeff Parnell has been this beacon and example for me for many years. I see this as a glaring opportunity. If there ever was a time to take extreme ownership of your role, it is now. Manage yourself. Get rid of the distractions. Focus on what matters. Be your own leader - someone will notice and you may just create a life you never knew existed. #leadership

It's important to look ahead based on how people are changing, their influences and the things that inspire them. Bill Gates is calling out that leadership practise needs to evolve and empowerment will be key. The recent history for #businessleaders is our focus on servant leadership, leading by supporting our teams. Our vision for the organisation is the enabler for our business culture, the values that we live by, as well as how we support our colleagues. Empowerment can be seen as one of the ways we bring our values to life. As #salesleaders we need to fully empower our teams to make a difference through understanding our customers better than anyone else. Encouraging our teams to act independently, supporting one another, and to be internal entrepreneurs, is an attractive approach for everybody in the team. The evolution of leadership is a critical element in our competitive or organisational approach. We need to take a position that supports personal growth in our teams capability, so let's plan to do this in the week ahead. #billgates #inspirationalleader #positivemindset

It’s been incredible to dive deep into the importance of culture in navigating global business, especially while being on the ground in Ireland and Germany. I had the privilege of learning from Bryan K. James and Janelle James, who shared their leadership experiences centered around understanding the history, politics, geography, and religion that shape any business environment. What really resonated with me was how these insights align with systems thinking, particularly in the social sector’s collective impact process. The need to dive below the waterline to uncover the structural, transactional, and attitudinal factors at play is key to making a lasting impact. This has been such an enriching experience, and I’m excited to apply these learnings to both my professional and personal leadership journey. #ExecutiveMBA #Leadership #GlobalBusiness #CultureMatters #SystemsThinking #CollectiveImpact #Ireland #Germany #LeadershipJourney #HaslamCollegeofBusiness
