How to Really Improve

Albert Einstein famously said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results!".

Indeed, to really make an impactful change, it sometimes helps to do things differently.


Allow Delapro to share some of our thoughts on this principle.

COMMUNICATION


"No matter how good your idea is, it is of little use if you

cannot describe or explain this idea clearly."


 "It is not what you know but how you use what you know to get to the heart of the matter.

You can't do this unless you understand your audience."


"Using more words does not necessarily improve your communication.

Always communicate from the view of your audience!"



CRITICAL THINKING


"If everyone in your team/company could solve their own work problems,

you can raise your overall productivity level by more than 50%!"


"Don't stop at understanding the 'how' , always try to understand the 'why'!"


"Finding the right answer is not good enough if it does not solve the problem."



GROWTH MINDSET / LEADERSHIP


"The three key areas that people going into their first jobs need to improve on are

Fear of speaking up

Knowledge of general topics

Pride/Ego

It is imperative that these skills be mastered, not just learned."


"Until you understand the difference between a leader and a manager, you're not ready to lead."


"If asking a question makes you look stupid, you're only stupid for that moment.

Not asking that question might make you stupid for life!"


"If you do not practise what you preach, you do not deserve to teach that topic."


"The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem."



A Workshop All Leaders Need


We all have blind spots in life. Some of the decisions we make when we have blind spots, could be career-threatening or worse, life-threatening. That’s why managing blind spots in leadership – where decisions affect many lives – is so critical. This workshop equips leaders with habits to manage your blind spots so that you have more and better options to work with when making decisions.


Realising where your blind spots are when making decisions helps turn you into a more effective leader. I look forward to working with you to manage YOUR blind spots.
