LESSONS
LEARNED AND
BEST ADVICE
• If you want to be heard,
make sure the other party
is ready to listen. This requires
careful planning and is
applicable to all levels of
communication. Complex is
easy; simple requires deep
understanding and creativity,
and is hard work.
• Seek out high-impact career
opportunities to accelerate
learning and development.
Getting out of your comfort
zone stimulates growth, so
take conscious steps to make
it happen. Find a higher
purpose to drive delivery and
performance – it’s critical for
self and team.
• Business and work should
be enjoyable. As a leader,
how will you create an
environment for your team
to grow, be challenged,
deliver and have fun? This
is the best part of the job!
• Demystify financial and
management reporting and
create simple stories that
are easy for people to
understand. Many of the
answers to problems are
obvious, but execution is not
– the “How” is often more
important than the “What”!
