I’m happy hearing this to be honest. The fact that our on field leadership is so poor however we are largely quite competitive tells me that if we get the leadership stuff right then we’ll see significant improvement on field. But how do we fix the leadership stuff?
That’s one of your most perceptive posts!
(Among many of course).
Because of all the things we were lacking last Friday, this was the most critical.
Leadership is a really strange beast.
Some have it gifted.
Some learn it.
Some earn it.
We do have it, but unfortunately in our younger demographic.
Hence the emphasis on “stepping up”.
If I was Richo.....
My emphasis this week would be: ownership.
Our performance last week is unacceptable.
This is your team.
This is your time.
Step up.
Show the way.
And demonstrate my faith in the younger leaders, even at the cost of ignoring external noise and to my own detriment.
