The late Sir Peter Blake grinding on the Maxi Condor (left) and (above) after winning the America’s Cup in 1995 was widely admired as a strong but fair leader afloat and ashore. One of his claims was always that he could and would do any job onboard, which especially endeared him to his round-the-world crewmates
the concept stage; the leaders who make it all happen tend to be more adept with detail. All good leaders deal with reality. Not how they wish it was, but how it really is. Leave the jersey in a better place Each day when a first-rate leader takes off his uniform and hangs it up (leaders don’t drop their clothing on the floor) it’s while knowing your campaign (or com- pany) is in a better place or will be because of your efforts today. Now some less worthy pretenders would think ‘am I in a better position after today?’ – those sorry souls should go into politics and not waste anyone’s time make-believing to be leaders. Do you get the feeling those kind of people really annoy me!?! Make the decision If you have all the information you’re going to get, there is no point putting off a decision. Tough calls don’t get easier with time, in fact procrastinating on making the decision becomes a bigger play on your mind than the decision itself. Once the facts are in, get together with your people and make a call. Then move on.
Everyone gets to take out the rubbish That means no one is above getting their hands dirty with hard labour if it needs doing. Leaders are not ‘above’ getting stuck in when it’s all hands to the pumps. And the same for rules, they apply to everyone, if the policy is clean up after yourself, then you do, don’t leave it for someone else to do.
Don’t just say what, say why Leaders don’t just give orders, they take the time to teach. People will respect, trust and buy into the programme, and you, when you explain ‘why’. Everyone will be better for it.
The seven Cs of leadership (Really they come from coaching but apply to leadership just the same). Calm, Communication, Compassion, Confidence, Composure, Certainty and Creativity. Ownership Leaders instil the feeling of ‘ownership’ in each and every person. You don’t work for me, we work together as co-owners in this. That will provide for an environment that makes people want to excel for the cause. They are not limited to one aspect, but as an ‘owner’ see the bigger picture of everyone’s contribution.
I reckon the best leaders, the really exceptional leaders, are the ones you never see. They just make it happen. Nowhere have I said leaders need to be seen to be leading. That is an ego thing, wanting others to know you’re in charge. That is from the ‘it’s a me, me world’ and is counterproductive to many of the attributes you will require to be a true leader.
There, in just a little over 1,000 words, I have sorted out the qualities required to be a leader! My! My! If it was that easy, I might be tempted to sort out the America’s Cup next time… Nah, I just thought of a kazillion other leadership principles I left out. Maybe I will stick to the Kiss principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid) and just leave it here for this month…
