‘If you don't have a sense of certainty in your mission then how driven are you going to be in  moving that mission forward?' This episode continues the conversation with Kul Mahay, Leadership Coach and explores further the role of the leader. Kul provides an insight into the 3-tier leadership and command system used by uniformed organisations in response to challenging situations. Having held Gold Command across a range of critical operations  Kul is able to explain the crucial role each tier of command has in ensuring that a response scenario has effective and informed leadership and how this approach can be translated for effective use in business.   Sign Up Here: https://bit.ly/biz-pod KEY TAKEAWAYS When leading in challenging scenarios it is vital to use a helicopter approach. As Gold Command, you have all information coming into you and put in place the overarching strategy. In business the leader often makes the mistake of putting in place the overarching strategy but then not trusting others to implement the tactical and operational aspects of the plan to move forward. It takes greater strength to stand back than to interfere and try and control all aspects and levels. Having very clear-cut levels of leadership with specific responsibilities and trust is key to ensuring a business is successful and can resolve any unexpected challenges effectively. There are 6 different styles of leadership and all have a purpose and it's important to remember they are all potential tools in your leadership toolbox. You should be using your visionary leadership skills to set the long-term goals and work with your team to achieve them. The 7 C's are a comprehensive basis for effective leadership; Being Committed to your goal. Having absolute Clarity about your goals. Ensuring you are Constant in the actions you take. Being Consistent with the actions you complete. Making Concerted efforts with those you work with. Being Congruent with your values and being the best, you can be. It's about change, you need to be open to change. It's the one constant in life. The future of the world is building relationships and the future of leadership is about having a greater level of empathy, interaction and communication.   BEST MOMENTS ‘It's better to be singularly focused on one thing' ‘I remind myself every day of my purpose and mission' ‘The greatest ripple effect I can create is to work with large organisations and speak to large audiences' ‘When leading in challenging scenarios it is vital to use a helicopter approach'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People book by Stephen Covey The Chimp Paradox book by Prof. Steve Peters Kul@kulmahay.com Kul Mahay LinkedIn Kul Mahay Twitter Kul Mahay Instagram   ABOUT THE GUEST Kul Mahay Kul served for 32 years in the UK police service, of which two-thirds were spent at a leadership level.
