D – Decisive

adj. Decisive having the power to decide; conclusive; characterised by decision and firmness; resolute; beyond doubt; unmistakable.^1

It’s better to be boldly decisive and risk being wrong than to agonise at length and be right too late.
– Marilyn Moats Kennedy

Not all decisions are equal or favoured by the majority.

We see the slings and arrows aimed at politicians, those in public office and high-profile decision makers. Leaders are in the spotlight.

Running on Autopilot?

Unless you’re an android in a sci-fi film, Google translator or my automated vacuum at home, robots can’t make decisions quite like us just yet. But don’t underestimate the rise of artificial intelligence through apps and machinery and leverage it where you can.

My vacuum cleaner methodically glides around the floor, bumping into walls and table legs, saving me hours over the course of the year with office cleaning. It’s one less decision I need to make so I can focus on the human connections and other supporting elements.

Delegated Authority

The type of role and responsibilities you are employed to undertake will determine the level of delegated authority you have and the gravity of decisions you may have to make. Refer to your employment contract for clear operational guidelines and seek clarity from your up-line or governing board at CEO level.

If you’re asking team members or strategic partners to follow you and you’re uncertain of your delegated authority or undermined by your up-line, then you may find yourself a little frustrated.

If you have direct reports working with you, then be sure that you’re clearly expressing their financial, communication and engagement authorities for maximum support and transparency.

Fatigue Impacts Decision Making

Can’t think straight? Fatigue lends itself to double-mindedness: the inability to think clearly and to make decisions. You need to take care of your brain. If you’re experiencing difficulty in this area, then you may need to undertake the following:

Create space in your work day for reflection and critical thinking.
Set the framework for decision-making, being clear on expectations, timeframes, and consequences.
Ask questions to clarify your understanding and to identify the underlying motivation for requests or any hesitation you encounter.
Embrace robust conversations and encourage your team to liaise with you. Recognise your own blind spots. Encourage debate and think tanks, question ideas and concepts, test and measure all while walking quietly confident in your authority.
Finding it tough? Get up and walk away. Hit the refresh button on your thinking before resuming the process. The saying ‘motion changes emotion’ refers to taking a short break from the task at hand. Get up and move around. You’ll return with a clearer head and better concentration.
Establish decision-making terms of reference to assist your ability to swiftly adapt or pivot when needed. Re-evaluate and implement troubleshooting strategies in order to communicate progress and achieve outcomes.
Develop a sound knowledge of operational policies, procedures, processes, and protocols. This will be critical to accurate decisiveness that upholds legislation and protects your employer from risk.

Danielle’s Story

Danielle was an extremely capable, senior executive who was carrying enormous responsibility when I began working with her. The company delivered real-time intervention for individuals battling depression and suicide. This pressure was impacting the whole C-suite in different ways.

Working with Danielle in an executive coaching capacity, we identified some immediate strategies to bring the management team together and key phrases to enhance communication. We also liaised with a representative of the board for insight and to promote a sense of safety for everyone.

Danielle liaised with the board of the national organisation, navigated the death of a colleague, safeguarded the compliance obligations and took steps to transition into a more sustainable role with an alternative firm.

Danielle was a compelling leader and her new boss declared her ‘a superstar’. Why? She identified continuous quality improvements. She also recognised the growth that comes from trying and the risks that posed a threat to people, property, and brand, while pursuing constructive relationships with colleagues, clients and community.

Are you like Danielle and make considerate decisions?

Leading Change

Leading change in the workplace and being the conduit between the board and the frontline service staff is one of the toughest positions to be in, particularly when the stakes are high. It requires gathering information, assessing the pros and cons, liaising and consulting with people who are vital stakeholders in the decision-making process.

Decisiveness is a double-edged sword. A leader who defers too often to other people’s opinion will lose the respect of key performers. In instances where the workplace culture is already complex, the leader who, after consulting, takes decisive action, may experience pushback from underground leaders and problem generators.

‘A compelling leader,’ notes firefighter Anthony Brewin, ‘has to be decisive. He must be able to admit fault and change when necessary.’ Decisiveness is not a popularity contest. Make your peace with that. As a compelling leader, you will have to consider the consequences, stand on your convictions and weather the storm.

Being Led Through Change and Finding It Difficult?

Change is awkward for some, particularly when you’ve been consulted and your opinion, having been heard, is not incorporated as the organisation moves forward. Here’s where you need to ask yourself some questions:

Do you get on board with the future direction the business is going in and keep a sweet spirit about it?
Do your values continue to align with the organisation’s? If they do, that’s fantastic and you need to decide to buy into this and align yourself to the new decision and direction.

Your Decisive Checklist

Empty your head before you leave the office each day, devoting 15 minutes to consistently complete the first two tasks.

Write down your achievements for the day or cross off tasks in your diary which had been accomplished.
Write down your objectives for tomorrow and list the opportunities and possible obstacles. Also note other stakeholders involved in the decision-making process.
Prioritise your goals and project objectives for medium- and long-term periods.
Keep the lines of communication open. Pursue clarity with your up-line and don’t shy away from the robust conversations necessary for the business to move forward.
In operational matters, particularly when senior management may be off-site, you must be clear on whether your role is to research or roll out decisions before committing to the completion of the task.
For medium- to long-term projects that require ongoing decisions, consider using tailored project management software to aid in this task. Keep relevant team members up to date on any action taken.
Stick to your timelines and say no to other requests if you have too much on your plate. Your ability to make decisions and complete tasks can become eroded by distractions. Learn how to diplomatically refuse a request and practice your negotiation skills.
If you have experienced trauma or have been working at an elevated level for a prolonged period of time, then you may find yourself depleted. Take time to rest and recharge. See your doctor if necessary.

Recognise and Reward Publically

Recognise and reward others publicly and privately. Correct in Private.

I popped into the airconditioned McDonalds after Church recently. My husband was on shift, and I had an hour to pass before picking a colleague up from the nearby airport.

As I waited in line to place my coffee order I observed the supervisor, the busy drive-through, and smiled at the young cashier greeting the family in front of me, as the previous customers walked to their seats. People are an interesting study.

This isn’t about finding fault, but rather looking at ways we can ‘build each other up’ rather than unintentionally ‘tear them down’, be it in public or in private.

The Supervisor kindly delivered the previous customer’s completed order to their table, discovering the drink items weren’t on the docket she had on the tray. Wrong docket.

In the Supervisor’s haste to correct an oversight, she corrected the cashier in front of the new customers being served.

I could see the young cashier quietly retreating into herself as the red blush crept up her neck and my heart went out to her.

I wished the Supervisor had demonstrated an awareness that her comments had publically shamed this young worker.

There’s a better way to enhance a process bring about change, place value on others and demonstrate dignity.

Recognise and reward others publicly and privately. Correct in Private.

B. Bosses – An Extract from The Alphabet Principle: Your A-Z Guide to Being a Compelling Leader by Tarran Deane

B. Bosses

n. Bosses: individuals who are usually the immediate supervisors of a number of employees and have certain capacities and responsibilities to make decisions – the term itself is not a formal title and is sometimes used to refer to any higher-level employee in a company, including a supervisor, manager, director or the CEO.^1

A good boss makes his men realise they have more ability than they think they have so that they consistently do better work than they thought they could.

– Charles Erwin Wilson

Movies such as Horrible Bosses portray narcissistic, indulgent people using manipulation and intimidation to fill their own insecurities or workflow demands. Thank goodness I’ve never encountered one of those.

Brave Leaders

If you want to have an impact and get the job done, then you do have to make the tough calls, expect more from your people and rally the troops. Consultation does not abdicate decision-making. This in itself is enough to cause friction within even the healthiest workplaces! Navigating this tightrope can be tricky – and alienating.

Some of the Bosses I’ve had the privilege of working with demonstrated all or part of the following traits:

The Rule of 3-by-3

Compelling Bosses demonstrate a three-fold capability: Character, Commitment & Competency

Character + Likeability + Lifestyle

In my first full-time job working at a regional branch of a major bank, I had three bosses. Boss A damaged me with inappropriate remarks in the stairwell and a hand that lingered too long. That was topped off when I saw him barefoot with hanging toenails walking through the local shopping centre. He had no self-respect and he’d shattered my perception of what a boss should be.

Boss B thought it was cool, last thing on a Friday, to have me put away a tray in the giant strong room, then close the door and spin the combo with no light on. I had no idea there was a light switch or a phone inside. I cried out and he laughed thinking it was the funniest joke.

And there was Boss C who was normal and not ‘out there’. He was reasonable and left you feeling ‘safe’ as you learned. He is one of the reasons I do what I do.

Commitment + Networks + Legacy

Going the extra mile is part and parcel of most jobs. In some countries, a maximum number of ‘ordinary hours’ you can work across a month is legislated to protect the rights of workers. In reality, life is a shifting canvas of trends and seasons. You’ll need to be here, be there, turn up and turn on to connect with people and nurture relationships.

Competency + Financial Intelligence + Outcomes

Upskilling through formal and informal education, internal or external mentoring and coaching will prepare you to lead your team through different seasons. Love your stats, explore what they mean, quantify what you need and work the plan to achieve the outcomes that will move you closer to your goals.

There’s something compelling about a leader who is across the Rule of 3-by-3!

Accountable.me

Typically, the ‘buck stops here’ with bosses. Whatever the title is on your payslip, the burden of leadership remains whether you are a supervisor, manager, pastor, doctor, builder, farmer, CEO, duty nurse, owner, teacher, principal or SME owner.

Learning how to maintain transparency and honouring commitments while zig-zagging between workflow, boundaries and the life outside is all part of the excitement. Engaging with a trusted colleague, industry mentor or external coach can go a long way to help you debrief, frame your thinking and correct your course when needed.

Spare a Thought for Your Boss

Bosses are people first and foremost. Until we’re ready to walk in their shoes, we should do everything we can to fulfill our responsibilities as a positive member of their team. Respect their role, make a point of getting to know them and be a proactive, positive resource for them.

Seek to Understand, Rather than Be Understood & Be a Good ‘Follower’

If you’re not gelling with your boss despite your best efforts, or if the nature of the work or the direction in which they are leading the business is unreasonable, then follow the existing policies and procedures to reconcile or leave. Take responsibility for You Inc. and move on.

Life’s too short.

By the same token, be patient, chat with a trusted friend or colleague and gain a little perspective before it goes too far.

The 2020 environment of rapid change, increasing use of AI and high-speed pressures on start-ups are placing real demands on founders and teams. If you have been used to working in mainstream environments or industries over the past 20-30 years you may come face to face with discomfort and demands for better performance and an innovative, driven approach to sales.

If You’re the Boss, Then Be a Good One

Authority used wrongly – You’re the boss so don’t lord it over people. It is not about control or intimidation. It should be about serving one another, in love, using every available attribute to make a difference on the planet.

The jobs we fill do not determine our worth. Be aware of finding the right balance between being task-focused and people-driven.

Authority used rightly – You exercise consultation and inclusivity as appropriate. You demonstrate clear boundaries. You don’t shy away from the tough calls. While you ruffle some feathers, your workplace is the right place for you and if you have up-line support, then you feel safe to make the tough calls, knowing you are backed.

Role status – Your title and society status doesn’t guarantee popularity, loyalty or respect. In High Society, Grace Kelly’s last film in 1956 before becoming the Princess of Monaco, her character Tracy Samantha Lord endearingly, if somewhat naively, asks, ‘Everybody loves me, don’t they?’

Obviously, Tracy has not taken the time to consider how others see her beyond her socio-economic standing and family name. In your workplace, if you’re gaining your value from your title or perceived status, then it’s not sustainable. Like Tracy, you may need a few friends to challenge your awareness of self and others.

You will probably polarise your colleagues and team from time to time. That’s the nature of disruption and promoting accountability. It’s not unreasonable to want your colleagues to show up, turn on and do the work.

Imagine if your team and colleagues were all on the same page? Grab Your Copy of Tarran’s Book “The Alphabet Principle: Your A-Z Guide to Being a Compelling Leader” When You Order it Here!

Care enough to confront – Have robust conversations with one another. Distinguish between attacks against people versus the pursuit of clarifying practices and processes before taking the criticism personally.

Not everyone will understand you – shocking, isn’t it? Well, it can be pretty crazy. Work with a mentor or a coach to keep a clear perspective and reveal any blind spots you may have.

Tough calls – As a boss, I’ve had to make decisions that not everyone agreed with and some that I wish I could have avoided. I’ve rolled out corporate objectives after rigorous debate behind closed doors with senior colleagues and I’ve challenged staff to grow and be accountable for their actions.

In one role, leading my region through redundancies, program closures and expansions, I leveraged my networks, worked with an executive coach, used creative problem-solving, extended reporting deadlines, challenged innuendo and gossip, had the courage of my convictions, stopped rescuing people, reassessed the culture of the organisation, reflected on what I’d learnt, what I’d contributed and those I admired, before giving myself permission to walk away.

That’s a tough call when you’re loyal.

If you’re finding the season you’re in as a leader a little tough, then put some external support strategies in place, test your communication strategies, tweak a few things and make sure you’re accountable to have a good work-life balance!

Leading Millennials & Centennials

If you’re leading a generation of Millennials and Centennials, then stay clear on your values and organisational alignment. Be consistent with your behavioural expectations. Use language and interactive training sessions that share the big ‘WHY’ and bring them on the journey with you. To be compelling is to captivate and promote unity and action across all generations within the workplace.

I’ve worked with some great bosses and some not so great. I’m a mum and a step-mum to four women. I am inspired by some of the bosses my girls have had and absolutely aghast at some of their others.

I have seen high school leavers burn out because of unrealistic expectations from a fast food restaurant that would have 18-year-olds wake at 3am to start at 4am without any training on how to adjust to shift work.

I’ve seen ‘pop-up’ shop owners in shopping malls refuse to provide 18-year-olds with a break during a 12-hour shift. The kids are fearful they won’t be offered further hours so they don’t make a fuss.

As parents, we want our children to have good boundaries and to develop their negotiation skills. We also want employers to uphold the laws of the land and honour their team members with appropriate care and mutual respect, not only because it is the law but because it is the right thing to do!

In 2016 and 2017, Mr Marsh pursued Australian company Bakers Delight to address their unfair Certified Agreement after his daughter brought to his attention the pay rates she and many under-18s were receiving.^2

The courage of Mr Marsh’s convictions and willingness to step into the debate with the company generated national media attention and public outcry which led to a report in The Age highlighting the company had agreed to remove the Certified Agreement.⁵

Fruits of the Spirit | A Counter-Cultural Way to Lead if You’re Combining Faith and Works

Written about 2000 years ago in the Letter to the Galatians, the country of modern-day Turkey, Paul the Apostle shares the Fruits of the Spirit. It’s a list of qualities not often associated with job descriptions of aspiring leaders and C-suite executives, yet they are the very same character and behavioural traits that enduring influencers embody.

The qualities are: love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.^3 Which one could you demonstrate more of to be compelling and maintain long-term perspective?

Love – Look for the gold in every person. You’ve likely heard the verse at weddings.

Joy – Look for it in the pursuit of your long-term Don’t get hung up on the short-term problems.

Peace – This comes through the hope and trust that it is all going to turn out well.

Forbearance – Patiently hang in there with others and lean on your faith because heaven knows sometimes you just need an extra bit of help!

Kindness and Gentleness – Seek to understand one another with gentleness, sincere love and truthful speech.

Goodness – Boldly do good towards all people and have the faith-filled mindset that goodness follows you.

Faithfulness – A consistent belief and trust in God, during every season of your leadership, which inspires confidence and dependability in others.

Self-control – It’s about more than not losing your cool and avoiding conflict. Rather, it is to be caring enough to confront with diligence, virtue, knowledge, boundaries, endurance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love.

Consider doing a weekend word study on each of the fruits. Go back to the original Greek and Hebrew meanings to explore their relevance to you and how you lead.

Wish your boss was different? Or your staff were better? Maybe, just maybe we could all be better versions of ourselves. Grab Your Copy of Tarran’s Book “The Alphabet Principle: Your A-Z Guide to Being a Compelling Leader” When You Order it Here!

Your Boss Checklist

Communicate the ‘WHY’: use different mediums to reach the various players.
Care for your people: know what’s important to them, have regular check-ins, look for the opportunities to hear what’s working well and find out if they may be up against something unfamiliar. Believe the best in them.
Be accountable: get a coach! Pay for it yourself or seek input from your employer. Professional development may be a tax deduction on your annual income return so check with your accountant.
Stop solely relying on emails: guard against the overuse of technology. Pick up the phone and talk to people or see them face to face. Why? Your team members may feel more valued when you do.
Check your boundaries: switch off that technology at a set time each evening and don’t turn it on again until a pre-arranged time the next morning. If you’re on call, develop your own personal boundaries regarding accessibility. You do not want that message light flicking at you or your spouse during those midnight hours!
Make diary notes: backup what you say in phone calls by using a quick diary note. Use the voice memo function on your phone and email it to yourself or your PA. Don’t over complicate things.
Share the load: ask for help when you need it. Don’t be a martyr by taking it all on. Expect everyone to grow during a period of expansion.
Review your ‘fit’ for the role: are you growing with the position and the changing requirements?

Are you in agreement with the direction of the business? Are you role-modelling unity and inspiring your team moving forward? Are you able to have robust conversations and respectful debate without fear?

If you sense that you and the company are no longer the best fit, develop an exit plan. @tarrandeane #leadership

A. Authentic – An Extract from The Alphabet Principle: Your A-Z Guide to Being a Compelling Leader by Tarran Deane

A. Authentic Leadership

adj. AUTHENTIC: not false or copied; genuine; real; reliable; trustworthy; having the origin supported by unquestionable evidence; entitled to acceptance or belief because of agreement with known facts or experience; authenticated; verified.¹

When we speak the seed of value over the lives we are entrusted with, a root of quiet confidence begins its journey of conviction into the battlefield of the mind. The seed is watered, valiantly breaking new ground in the face of discouragement and word storms. The leader emerges to stand not in the shadows cast by others, but rather to turn her own face to the sun, certain of her place in the world.

– Tarran Deane

Just Who Are You?

The rise of social media has led to a shifting of real and perceived authenticity. People post with certain filters. They’re now able to tag the topic and context of their post in their personal profiles. As workplaces are increasingly disrupted by automation and shifting goal posts, the leader who has a clear sense of his or her identity and is able to articulate it with word and deed.

As a compelling leader, you can inspire your team, tribe or community by providing opportunities to others to:

understand individual strengths and inspire personal accountability
promote unity and share the vision
require peak performance and set clear expectations
rejoice in the outcomes
honour the role of family in the life of the team.

Strip Back the Layers

It takes significant courage to lead from a clearly-stated values position in mainstream organisations. Those who do set themselves apart from the competition are fine with knowing they risk polarising some folks at work and in their target market.

So, get your brave on. Step into a higher level of personal satisfaction. Encourage your people to identify their values and take responsibility to genuinely declare the company principles or values as ‘this is how we do things around here’. is possible to be a compelling leader who has a clear vision whether you wear a pair of jeans or a pin-striped suit. It is less about what you wear and more about the vision you sow and the difference you’ll make.

Is it possible to be a compelling authentic leader who has a clear vision whether you wear a pair of jeans or a pin-striped suit? It is less about what you wear and more about the vision you sow and the difference you’ll make. Like walking your talk.

This takes time. I’ve read excerpts from The Four-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss² and thought at the time that every workplace has its own context. There’s no way I could have cut down my executive hours working in Human Services.

Authentic Leadership doesn’t demand you throw in the towel and join a start-up or ridicule policies and procedures that are their for your protection and quality outcomes for the business. If you try to fake who you are or your preferred work style, then you may well live on coupons and go around the mountain a few more times before you realise that:

work is a noble pursuit and you don’t have to leave your job to be entrepreneurial
you may not have to leave your own business and ‘get a real job’ either
to serve in the shadows can be more rewarding and influential than being in the spotlight
relationships matter – it is important to be kind to one another, set clear boundaries and expect more of each other and yourself.

Wouldn’t life be easier if everyone on your team kindly respected each other’s differences and yet came together under ONE Vision? Let’s help you to help them be the best version of themselves.

What’s the Alternative?

Often we need someone close to us or with an objective viewpoint who can challenge us if it looks like we’re ‘faking it’ or self-sabotaging. Blind spots, unconscious bias, lack of personal accountability and a readiness to blame are incredibly short-sighted and could exacerbate tensions with family and work colleagues.

If we’re afraid to pull back the layers and shy away from encouraging our people to do the same, then we may begin to see an increase in:

workplace conflicts
disengaged personnel
individual burnouts and mental health issues
loss of credibility and influence
loss of intellectual property
union involvement
lack of succession planning
loss of top talent.

Trust through Transparency and Track Record

The case is strong. You’re most compelling as a leader when you’re comfortable in your own skin and committed to learning, giving your best, bringing others on the journey with you, honouring commitments and keeping the lines of communication open.

Your life experience within your community, current industry or volunteer service will continue to shape you. Spend time to reflect on your achievements and celebrate the person you have become. Encourage yourself and be mindful that the person you become in pursuit of a goal is often as important as the goal itself.

Your team will be watching. Sometimes, it will seem like the whole world is watching how you move and respond to changes and confrontations. A lousy attitude hurts your health and limits your opportunities.

Your attitude determines your altitude in business and in life. – David Armstrong, Principal Advisor, Financial Planning, National Australia Bank

If you want to go far and go together, then navigate the tension of likeability while embracing the principle of ‘It’s none of my business what other people think of me’. Your language expresses a confidence of personal conviction and teachability, leading from a position of boldness and humility.

Vision – What Are You Aiming For?

Our values become clearer when we’ve come face to face with what we don’t want. Over time, were confronted with the opportunity to become better or bitter. Compelling leaders choose to become better, to develop a thirst for finding the good in other people, to pursue a cause greater than themselves and to delight in the simple things. See chapter V. – Vision.

Serving One Another – Become Better at It

If I am ever stuck or become increasingly tired and forget who I am and what I’m meant to be doing, then I am too busy in my ‘doing’.

Personally, I get on my knees and read the Good Book. I spend a bit of time reading my favourite passages of the Bible, listening to worship music and recharging my soul and gaining a fresh perspective on the challenges at hand.

Your Authenticity Checklist

Here are a few questions to ask yourself. Oh, and they’re great questions to use when you’re coaching a direct report as well.

What makes you happy or sad?
What ticks you off or inspires you?
How do you like to process information?
How do you like to connect with people?
Close your eyes and reflect on the company you Are those people encouraging you to be a better person, personally and professionally?
Do you understand why you like to work the way you do? Consider undertaking a work-preference style assessment with an accredited facilitator so you can gain a deeper understanding.³
Watch the old movie Runaway Bride and ask yourself, How do I really like my eggs? What sort of woman am I? What kind of man am I? What can I do better? Do I use banter in a harmful manner that erodes another person’s confidence?
Create a Timeline of Events and update it Record the date and the nature of your feelings about various key events in your life and the lessons learned.

Enough. Your alleged authenticity is not an excuse for inappropriate behaviour,” Tarran Deane, Author The Alphabet Principle Leadership Book

You can no longer justify yourself by saying, ‘It’s just the way I am!’ or ‘This happened to me when I was younger.’

If you are self-righteous, rude, have a problem dealing with anger and avoid taking responsibility for yourself, then your time is up. You’ve been outed. Get help from your local doctor, healthcare professional or career coach.

Real Leaders understand the impact they have and are wisely responsible AND Authentic.

Be the real version of you on your best day.

That’s Authentic Leadership.

What I Learnt About Leadership & Life From a Special Effects Makeup Class

What I Learnt About Leadership from a Special Effects Makeup Class

Working remotely is part of my professional life. I catch lessons from the most interesting environments and observations.

Recently I had the opportunity to support our daughter during one of her assessments in her Special Effects Makeup Class in Brisbane. Ellie was studying the anthropology of Egyptian Makeup: it’s use and significance in the culture of the day.

I knew I had the capacity to be flexible with my work and support Elle, so we headed off to Brisbane with my laptop, all set for her class and me to work in the Student Lounge until I was needed. I was helping her (and soaking up my time with her, let’s face it!) and still getting traction on my focus areas. It got me thinking as I was surrounded by all these creative Millennials…

Leadership, Makeup Artists and the Makeup of Ancient Egyptians have a lot in common:

Head First:

We all need to be aware of why we are doing what we are doing AND the company we’re keeping when we set about our tasks. We all have ‘mini-empires’ set up between our ears, with thoughts threatening to rule and have dominion over moods and moments.

Get your head in the game and be fully present in your role. Serve one another, see through myths (and there were a few of those in the prosthetics class next door) and pursue truth. Oh and just because you think Leadership should look or behave a certain way, think again. I’m always delightfully surprised when stereotypes are challenged.

Decide: What’s ruling you – mood, moments or purpose? by @tarrandeane #leadership #speaker

Click To Tweet
Be Aware of the Environment:

Political, Spiritual & Economic: It matters and if it’s not influencing you, it will be influencing members of your team and your client base. Don’t be naive. Research it.

The ancient Egyptians, male and female, believed the eye makeup they wore gave them healing powers and protected them.The same can be said about other peoples beliefs and their faith. Do a bit of reading on the different faiths; not to judge, but to learn. Be curious and seek to understand. Be prepared to confront your own bias – conscious or unconscious and reflect on what has influenced your opinions to date. Are they consciously yours or a lazy mirror of someone else’s?

Decide: If your eyes are the window to your soul, what are people seeing? by @tarrandeane #leadership #speaker

Click To Tweet
Skin in the Game:

Be invested. Be prepared for people to get to know you. I wasn’t sure what to expect going into the makeup chair, sitting on the high cushioned seat with the bandanna holding my long blonde hair back. My face was being examined. Skin tone, variations, patterns. It’s the same in leadership if you are prepared to be helped and supported you must be willing to take the scrutiny and feedback.People will typically look at your appearance. Your face, your eyes, your mouth. Your gestures, your movements, your hair. Are you attentive, kind, considered?

Perceptions are being formed in nano seconds like that looping sound track in that retail store right near the food court at the local shopping centre.

Decide: Are you running on perceptions or is there more beneath the appearance? by @tarrandeane #leadership #speaker

Click To Tweet
Raw Materials:

Know your tools. Ellie had her range of brushes and palettes, mixing trays, combs, sponges and equipment that put her at ease so she could work through the project at hand. The Ancient Egyptians used a range of local supplies to support their efforts including malachite and galena. While the ingredients formed the khol that lined the eyes, many substances were derived from lead and provided resistance to eye infections cause from local bacteria.Where are you getting your materials from? Are they healthy for you and your team to be working with? Do you have the latest MDSS – Material Data Safety Sheets?

Decide: What is toxic in your life – unhealthy relationships, poorly maintained assets that become hazards?

Study to be Your Best:

You can be better or be mediocre. As I worked on my laptop at the National Academy of Beauty, the students were all in prepping for the practical session by researching and confirming their knowledge of the history of the Egyptian makeup, its’ history and application.In your workplace, make a point of discovering and documenting the history. You can download the Pinterest App, scroll through Snapchat and Instagram threads, but if all you are doing is glancing and NOT studying, your skill set won’t be enhanced.

Organisational story-telling AND the real facts – warts and all, empower individuals to deal with the real truth and carry out their work with full transparency.

Decide: Look at the methodology of people you admire. What do you see about their character and capability, their talent and their regard for others by @tarrandeane #leadership #speaker
Practice Your Skills with Different Models:

No two workplaces or people will be the same. Be gracious, study the individuals, ask questions, build rapport, know what is shaping appearances and behaviours.As an educator of more than 20 years I know how deceptive and risky it can be to find your delivery-style groove, a treat every audience the same way, without taking into account the different learning styles people have.

Take the images below of me with the black wig on. Some of you absolutely love it; others loathe it. Some see the eye-makeup and totally miss the deeper story or possibly think this is REALLY how I dress up for work.

Decide: Dig a little deeper and discover the person behind the appearance @tarrandeane #leadership

Review the Results and Leverage Them:

When Ellie finished my special effects makeup she was content but not satisfied, always ready to improve. I like that in my team – that sense of continuous quality improvement, without being paralysed by perfection. Ellie’s teacher assessed, thought the eyes were brilliant, base blending was good and the photograph was taken with the accompanying black wig a’la Cleopatra-esque.

I liked what I saw in my daughter, this creative Millennial that is forging her own path.

The culture of their workplace was abuzz with banter over in one corner, quiet concentration in another. The natural light streaming in from a Brisbane winter 23 floors above ground was calming and gorgeous. This team of young professional makeup artists were given the opportunity to serve, nurture, lead, hone their craft, work with others and be enterprising. It felt good to be amongst them, this cohort. I am excited for them.

Here’s How I Leveraged the Makeup, the Artistry and the History of the Egyptians and you can too in your workplace

Applied various filters directly in the photo gallery. Reality can be harsh, that’s a fact. Stark highshadow is just that – stark!
Used various photo editing apps on my iPhone including: Canva, AdobeSpark and RIPL
Once back in the office, I turned on the tripod lighting and took a range of stills and video that I can now splice away and insert to my hearts content
Created thumbnail templates, website images, quotes, and Social posts.
Wrote this Blog
And, spent time with my daughter. Now that was priceless.

Change Management – Leadership Book by Tarran Deane

Now There’s a Book That Deals with Change Management and Real Life @ Work! THE ALPHABET PRINCIPLE: Your A-Z Guide to Being a Compelling Leader

Fulfilling, and at times incredibly consuming, downright frustrating and challenging, many individuals find themselves torn between executing well, rapid change, limited resources and conflicting personal values. If this is you, you’re not alone!

Change Management is an ever-increasing hot topic!

In her new book “THE ALPHABET PRINCIPLE: Your A-Z Guide to Being a Compelling Leader”, Tarran Deane hits the shift key and spells out 26 short ,sharp chapters that today’s leaders must get a handle on if they’re to cut through the whispered frustrations of today and lead strategically and tactically in the fast pace of change, artificial intelligence and real life @ work.

During Change Management projects and rollouts, redundancies and evolving roles, the threats to leadership are many:

lack of self-awareness and identity
increasing sense of isolation and avoidance of real issues
rapid pace of change, contextual and critical
demands of honouring and juggling family responsibilities
opinions and judgements versus reconciliation and relationships
political correctness and offence gone made versus real conversations, grace and grit
chasing the numbers and losing the dream to name but a few!

It’s time to put a stake in the ground, look up, and declare “I can do better! We can do better! We are in this together and if we’re to step boldly into the future, we must get over ourselves, learn what makes each of us tick, stand on values and run towards the future, proactively bridging the gap between artificial intelligence and internal silos. It’s time for grace and grit to rise up and lead like we mean it! Every word, gesture and deed matters. Be compelling.”

Change management must stop being reactive and give considered thought to being proactive. Most focus has been on frontline and minimising union involvement or rocking the boat, while senior leaders and executives, nut out strategies behind closed doors, wanting the best for the team and broader stakeholder group, while feeling hamstrung by problem generators and squeaky wheels. We want leadership empowered, seen as real people, doing the best they can and daring to have the straight forward conversations that spell out behavioural expectations, leading to greater growth in followers, and relevant rewarding results for the business.

Working with leaders from companies and organisations like BHP, United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, Pilots, Ministers, Emergency Services, Executives, Enterpreneurs and even the McDonalds Junior, highlights that change impacts us all in pretty much the same way. The difference lies in determining the stakes, having each other’s back supporting the change, delivering on instruction and debriefing effectively and appropriately.

Dealing with change management is woven throughout The Alphabet Principle. Grab your copy today so you can highlight, write in it, fold the corners over and maybe even wave it under the nose of someone at work saying “See this is what I’m talking about!”

[Video] Authenticity – Stop Selling Yourself Out! Chapter #01 The Alphabet Principle: Your A-Z Guide to Being a Compelling Leader

You’ve seen the people who seem so naturally at ease with themselves, whatever situations they’re in? The kid who isn’t self-conscious, the woman on stage, the man trying his hand at something new – they captivate you with their authenticity.

Our capacity at work and in the community is enhanced when we give ourselves permission to grow and practice, fail and succeed at things. you see we need each other – not all the time sure – but ultimately teams need to know what we stand for so we can genuinely connect, better understand and unite beneath a shared purpose.

We can all be intentional when we have a clearer understanding of who we are and what we stand for, embracing boldness and humility and setting aside comparison and rejection.

In the first of 26 Chapters, the opening chapter ‘Authenticity’ from “The Alphabet Principle: Your A-Z Guide to Being a Compelling Leader” sets the scene as we talk about real life at work, the opportunities and challenges, including:

📓Just Who Are You?!

📓Stripping Back the Layers (and really, Tim Ferris can’t have been thinking about mainstream leaders when he wrote the 4 hour work week!?)

📓What Alternatives Do You Have & the Impact at Work

📓Trusting Yourself

📓a Bunch More Great Stuff

📓a cautionary reality stocktake

📓 and Your Authenticity Checklist

Here’s a quick video on being your #authentic self as a leader and some background vision from #ColourConf Sydney Australia during March 2017. When I first attended this conference back in 1998 the female host was truly breaking new ground. It was the first time I had witnessed genuine authenticity from a main stage presentation. Bobby Houston was disarming, engaging, feminine and strong. This Leader walked in her authority in her own style, pushing the boundaries of stereotypes.

As I listened over those few days I realised I ‘caught’ something. It was a seed of authenticity, that I have continued to water in my own life over the past 20 years.

So now my invitation to you: water your own sense of authenticity and realise when you do, you give the rest of us ‘permission’ to be ourselves in the process.
