Welcome to Towards Leadership from Leadership Letters.

In this episode we take more of a dive into some thoughts and ideas arising from talking to Performance Director of Boccia UK, Greg Baker, in our most recent episode of Leadership Letters.

Hover over the pause button during this episode - we have a lot of reflective questions for you in this episode! Our starting point is the question Greg talks about always asking himself as a leader: Am I doing the best job for the individual in front of me? We begin by offering you questions to support your reflection on how well you know the individuals around you so that you are both up to date with, and know how to accommodate, their needs, how to support them and how to challenge them in the most useful ways.

We go on to discuss and offer further reflective questions around:

• Headspace and time to think: “Thinking is the work.”
• Your priorities
• The extent to which your calendar reflects your priorities and your need for Headspace - and how to make sure it does.
• Culture and environment
• Preparing for challenges and pressures
• Embedding your strengths in order to leverage them.
