When you know it in your “knower”. Some years ago, I was chatting with my friend Ernie, the leader of a local organisation, as people were gathering for an event, and as a couple passed us by, he enquired of me about them and their relationship, and then he said: “Don’t you just get the […]
Leadership Lessons from the Orchestra At a recent concert, I was sat in the middle of the first violin section of my local Symphony Orchestra playing pieces by Tchaikovsky, Walton and Dvorak. If you’ve ever been to watch an orchestra at a live event you’ll know there are some rather fun and somewhat antiquated elements of […]
If you want to lead people, they must trust you We need to consider how today’s ‘accepted business practices’ will stand up in light of tomorrow’s exposure?

There is a storm going on right now for many businesses in the midst of this pandemic, where uncertainty is causing staff to dwell in the storm for far longer than they need to. If the team can’t see a way forward with certainty, and the what-if discussion goes round in circles, then the team can find itself languishing in the storm from where others have already emerged.

People will expect that, and people will see that, so don’t try to hide it or spin it so that it looks right. Own your good decisions and own your bad decisions, and you’ll earn people’s respect. After all, people would rather follow a leader who is always authentic, than one who is never wrong.

Leadership is the art of making decisions in the dim light of incomplete information, and leadership is measured with the illumination of hindsight.
If we want to be sure to be as well equipped as possible when the time comes for those dimly lit decisions to be made, then we need to make sure that our leadership skills are as developed as possible in preparation, and the PLQ provides a helpful benchmark against which we can assess our progress.
If we can measure it, then we stand a chance of being able to deliver it.
