The Euros are an exciting time for England, and with the country's eyes firmly on England Manager Gareth Southgate, Rob covers 12 of Gareth's managing gems which you can apply to your own team. Rob discusses the importance of details, why patience is a virtue and how to ensure you always leave things in a better place than what you found them.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- People often say the devil is in the details. There are many times when people will offer a simple solution to a seemingly difficult problem, but think of how much detail goes into fulfilling your daily activities. If you are not detail focused, you will not maximise your time and things will not go as efficiently as you wish.
- One of life's greatest lessons is to teach us patience. How many times have you set a goal and been frustrated that you did not achieve it when you wanted to. We do not know what it will involve to get us from A to B, we just know that that is where we want to go. We then have to traverse the path to get there, and often that path is not a straight one. Understanding this is a great quality.
- People lead in different ways and one thing is for sure, failure will come if you try and emulate somebody else. That does not mean that you should not try and work on your own apparent weaknesses and things that you can improve. It simply means that we all have a certain DNA and when we embody that, we are the best version of ourselves.
- The greatest form of leadership is quiet leadership. The leader disappears, and the team thinks they have done it alone. The team has learnt to do it via the facilitation of a leader that has disappeared into the background like a puff of smoke. This is the ultimate leadership.
- Leave things in a better place than you found them. Leadership is not just about achieving success at all costs, leaving everything chaotic and damaged behind you, it is about leaving things in a better place. How can you leave your team in a better place so that it can move on with a plethora of new players, with a culture in place and how can you contribute towards that. That is a big thing to think about when you are in a leadership position.
BEST MOMENTS
“One swing of the sword and everything is solved, wouldn't life be amazing if that was the case?”
“We do get there in the end, we just may not get there when we want to.”
“That is the ultimate leadership.”
“Winning in a professional sport is everything.”
