BUILDING TRUST AS A LEADER

In the absence of rapport, connection and trust, it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to get people to willingly do things for you.

If you find yourself as a leader in that situation, you will be forced to fall back to a formal authority based structure rather than the use of influence.

And that will clearly limit your ability as a leader.

If you want to expand your ability to get people to do things beyond some authority model, you absolutely have to be able to build that report, connection, and especially trust.

George’s Big Experiment In Performance, Life and Legacy

A FISHERMAN’S STORY - This episode’s guest is one of the best known fishermen in Australia, Mr Ron Gallo.

Born in 1937, Ron has spent the major part of his life fishing and working in the fishing industry up in the northern parts of Australia around Cairns.

His passion for fishing seems to have never waned. His desire for quality equipment led him to start making his own lures years ago, in addition to other fishing equipment. He got so good at this that he is now quite famous for those hand crafted products.

They are highly sought after by people in the know and getting much harder to come by. So much so that many now sit in collections.

Unfortunately these types of skills, driven by passion and a desire for quality, are going by the wayside as people buy more and more cheaply manufactured items. But that’s the way it is today.

Given Ron’s passion and tireless dedication to his craft, George always wanted to have this chat and learn the story behind Ron and his love of fishing.

“WOKENESS” - WHAT IT IS AND ITS PROS AND CONS - George went down the rabbit hole to study and understand the concept of being ‘Woke’.

In this podcast he discusses what he has learnt about the concept - its origins, the pros and cons of the ‘Woke’ concept, and how its principles can, and have been applied positively and negatively in corporations today.

He recognises that the concept has a strong connection to the Black Lives Matter and Me Too movements, but it is more than that. Regardless of what anyone thinks of the idea of 'wokeness', it was always intended to be a positive and value adding idea.

Why did he record this particular podcast? Ultimately the reasons were these:

(a) To make sure we understand the concept fully,

(b) To recognise when it is being used and applied in a negative way, and

(c) Personally to work out how it can be used positively to add value to society.

If you are in any leadership or HR type of role, this should be of interest to you.
