How are you living playful? It is time for some inspiration with Friday Fast Five

5 weekly thoughts to spark your curiosity

in under 90 seconds. 

#5 OBSERVATION “Why do I think they are behaving like that? What’s the pressure that they are experiencing, what is happening in the organisational system that could be challenging them, could be prompting them to think, process and act in a certain way?” Michelle Gibbings, I’ve Got A Bad Boss, on the active CEO Podcast.

#4 LIVING “I don’t think of work as work and play as play, it’s all living” Sir Richard Branson

#3 AUTHENTICITY “I am not afraid of disappointing them, I am afraid of disappointing myself. You never know what the judges actually expect from you. Everytime you go on stage there is a message you want to share, there is an idea you want to say and there is always something extra to that presentation. There is a secret message. There is a very clear message, You want to share your point of view.” Aga Rojewska Being Your Authentic Self, of The Coffee Man Podcast

#2 SUSTAINABLE “Shifting people from this unwritten CEO code that they need to do more, push longer, stay till the end of the day and striving for excellence all the time. It’s shifting that into a position rather than burning themselves out and burning out their team to actually leading a sustainable performance and energy throughout their day and their career.” Break The CEO Code with Craig Johns.

#1 BALANCE “Life is not separate from work as work is part of life. Too often we hear people in the workplace saying, ‘I’m working hard now so I can live my life when I retire or when the weekend comes around or during my next holiday’. We talk about having to make sacrifices in life. This maybe true, but sacrifices are all just choices.” Continue reading Are You Living by Craig Johns

How are you going to be better tomorrow? It is time for some inspiration with Friday Fast Five

5 weekly thoughts to spark your curiosity

in under 90 seconds. 

#5 CULTURE “Culture is deeply embedded into every layer of an organisation and requires the leader to question everything to fully understand what aspects are absolutely crucial to extract or mould for a better future. It is constantly evolving over time, although the culture is deeply linked to its history and development.” Continue reading What Does It Take To Improve Your Culture?

#4 PRESENT “The exceptional takes us beyond the experience. If you shift the way you look at things, the things you look at shift beyond your imagination to the present.” Craig Johns

#3 ACTIONS “As leaders we have three things in our control that help us be effective in what we do – actions, words and behaviours.” Raising leaders with Wendy Born, on the active CEO Podcast.

#2 GRIT “…there are no shortcuts to excellence. Developing real expertise, figuring out really hard problems, it all takes time―longer than most people imagine….you’ve got to apply those skills and produce goods or services that are valuable to people….Grit is about working on something you care about so much that you’re willing to stay loyal to it…it’s doing what you love, but not just falling in love―staying in love.” Angela Duckworth

#1 ATTENTION “Imagine you are having a conversation with someone who is telling a sad story and then you start feeling emotion hearing their sad story. Where is your attention at that moment?” Talking about Unhindered leadership with Jaemin Frazer, on the active CEO Podcast.

How are you getting lift off in 2021? It is time for some inspiration with Friday Fast Five

5 weekly thoughts to spark your curiosity

in under 90 seconds. 

#5 MISFITS “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes … the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. … You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. … They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Steve Jobs

#4 SOLUTIONS “Problems cannot be solved by thinking within the framework in which the problems were created.” Innovators Playbook with Nathan Baird, episode 147 on the active CEO Podcast.

#3 LEGACY “We have all been put on planet earth for a reason. Why not leave it in a better place than you found it? Having a purpose in life and aligning it to the work that you do is important if you wish to enjoy what you do, be productive and perform at a high level. Some people have a desire to go beyond the world they work in and leave a legacy for future generations to benefit from. Craig Johns talks about legacy, episode 145 on the active CEO Podcast

#2 EXECUTE “Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” Michael Jordan

#1 CHANGE “Change is not done to people, it’s done with people.” Ciara Lancaster talks about reimagine change, episode 146 on the active CEO Podcast.
