Episode 39 - Paul Ratcliffe Part 2, Leading By Example
Often managers elevate themselves to that level so they won't actually have to dig in and do the job, but is that really the best strategy? Is that a good way to lead? Or would you be much better off getting into the trenches when necessary next to those you are leading? How could you expect someone else to do the things you yourself are not willing and/or able to do?
Key Moments:
The role emotional intelligence plays and why it's so important to an organization
Some of the questions that you should probably be asking yourself to get your mindset in the right place
Some of the steps you can take to learn to get over the fear of cold calling
Why you need to be willing and able to do the job itself if you plan to lead and manage others
Why being vulnerable as a leader is so key and how it affects those around you
How being flexible and open minded can serve you not only in the staffing industries but in pretty much any part of your life

Connect with Suky:
I'm Suky an adrenaline junkie who celebrates every single win. I believe we must celebrate and collect all our wins along the way as it fuels forward momentum to ensure we exceed our goals. When we fuel forward momentum, complacency simply can not settle in.
With over 25 years of experience working in the staffing industry, 16 of those working with global recruitment companies, I bring the knowledge and experience of working in 18 countries and successfully navigating through numerous "recession" cycles.
Companies often get so focused on the bottom line that they forget that we are in the "people business". For me, the magic happens when my clients recognize the best way to create a truly sustainable high-performance sales culture is to align both.
