Listen "What Makes A Great Leader ? (Part 2) – Paul D. Lowe & David Roberts"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode Paul is joined by David Roberts to talk about wealth and what part it might play in influencing a leader’s thinking.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The moment you hear the word “wealth” you think of money but, if you look at the origins of the word, it’s origins are steeped in well-being and health. I look at the whole concept of wealth – especially when linked to leadership – as about outcomes. The outcomes you’re looking to create as a leader include financial outcomes, service-related outcomes and making a difference or a change.
Money is not a dirty word, it’s a measure of value. If you look at money/relationships/the service you offer/deliver on your promise to the customer as a currency , they’re all valid measures of wealth. Another way of looking at wealth is as value – the difference that you make in other people’s lives.
I believe that leadership is actually a role of service. If you want to be somebody you need to serve somebody. That starts with yourself, but when it comes to the service of others, that’s how your role as a leader manifests.
One has to think about the effect one’s parents had on one’s life. It doesn’t matter how “good” a mum and/or a dad you think you were, they had an effect on you and that came with the values, the environment they created. Some may be under/over protected and both types of people have unique characteristics to learn about themselves and resolve. It’s definitely an influential role.
BEST MOMENTS
‘What wealth means really depends on the circumstances and the motivations of the individual or the organisation.’
‘Taking the full breadth of the definition of wealth into account, there’s lots of opportunity there. If you only think of it as money and from a financial point of view you can come across as being very single-minded and that’s where the unhelpful connotations come across.’
‘The role of motherhood is definitely a key leadership role in the same way that fatherhood is also a key role.’
‘Working out what you want in life and what differences you want to make for other people will give you a really firm starting point. From there you can make decisions about what you do to create a perfect day and work towards making it happen.’
