How do I know when I need to change my leadership style?
A little bit of history
from my perspective and how I learned to
to identify what what the triggers are
for when people aren't connecting with you
has just come basically from experience.
I've worked with several different leadership teams
over my 40 some year career
and you really do get to see
the behaviors and the the changes of cultures
and in each office you go into
that really should and be an almost
intuitive and when you need to change your focus
change your sense of direction and how you lead.
There are basics -
the principles for me you're always being
open and honest, communicative, collaborative,
but sometimes you just have to tweak those things
that are your management style
to make sure that you're connecting
with the people you're leading
and you'll know that.
It is more of a gut reaction, trusting your instincts
but you will know it by the way your team
behaves around you.

Alchemy with Sharon Ramel - Duration: 5:08.
Sharon Ramel with you from the couch.
Let's talk about a word called alchemy.
This comes from a question that I was
asked recently, "what is alchemy?" Alchemy
has seven stages; calcination, dissolution,
separation, conjunction, fermentation,
distillation and coagulation. And they
help us to recognize our souls journey
and transformation. It is an unfolding,
a working within you as your soul
continues to deepen its own essential
essence. Trust the processes, trust the
transformation. Each stage involves a
breaking down of your egoic strength and
it may seem difficult, challenging,
revealing and yet deeply deeply healing.
For fear not you will experience these
different stages throughout your life
and not necessarily in order.
However you may recognize them more as
phases than actual delineated stages.
Alchemy helps work with us to surrender
to the stage that we are in to live it
from the truth of our heart. The first
stage; calculation purify the fire. It
burns away the way we attempt to control
our life through our ego, it reveals the
wounds that we've never even really
realized that were actually there. During
calcination we may feel like our life is
in ashes gone up in flames before us
because so much has been revealed in the
burning; that letting go. The second stage
dissolution: dissolves through emotion as
we release deep held buried feelings
from this and other lifetimes. We can
experience deep sadness, almost despair,
as we dissolve into tears perhaps crying for
days our tears dissolve, they let go,
they allow us to break down additional
layers of our egos attachments, drives
and beliefs. Writing the flow of our
soul when it is an essence once again.
The third stage separation it distracts
from discards the aspects of your self
that are no longer useful. Releasing
destructive habits and behavior patterns
for within separation there is a
rediscovery of the greater discernment
of what is actually worthy of being
saved the literally filtering out all
that we no longer leave discarding it
all those patterns that don't work for
us any longer as you may have discovered
if you've been on my life purpose
through yoga nidra course. The fourth stage
if conjunction and these takes us to
union through the joining of the
masculine and the feminine divine selves
all of us assisting us to bring forward
and open to our true self
we experience and deep integration as
coming from a path that feels truer to
our whole self. We are in fact in
wholeness rather than separate beings.
The fifth stage is fermentation. It's a
composting stage, and during this stage
we may go through a 'dark night of the
soul' as this stage cooks and melds the
many layers of our souls essence. Then we
are followed by distillation the
impurities in consciousness release for
the refinement of our more authentic
self and the seventh and final stage is
coagulation where we enter atonement
with the mind of the divine and the
birth of the universe is complete fully
integrated. Alchemy transforms us into
beings of divine essence. We don't always
go through these stages in the order
that I have mentioned and you may
experience a particular phase
collectively or personally. So for
example; if you live in a war zone
clearly the entire country is
experiencing this dissolution and
separation both collectively and
personally from the tragic event. We may
go through a climatic
event such as a severe
flooding, or a change of government
leadership and or policies. We go
through the change during the
dissolution we experienced deeply-held
emotions and then as a part of the
separation state will work through the
rubble we separate what needs to stay
and what we need to discard!
So we may then move on and experience
the true transformation both personally
or as a collective on the planet right
here and now. So this has been a very
brief look at alchemy, a magical
wonderful way to make sense of our life.

How do you ensure the well-being of people in your team? - Duration: 1:09.
I think the best way to ensure well-being of people in a team
is to get alongside them, to get to know them a bit better.
Probably build a rapport,
get to know a bit more about
what they're interested in and get them
to a point where they feel comfortable
telling you if they're not okay,
coming to you if they have got too much work, whether it be personal or operational.
I think really just get to know them,
get them comfortable with you
and also, maybe create a team culture where other people
are happy to sidle up to you and say,
"I think so and so is struggling with something"
but I think just make it okay
for everyone to express how they're feeling
and make sure that you try
and anticipate people's needs ahead of time, as well
just to make sure they've got everything they need
and I think inherently people overestimate what they will have time for
or what they can do
or what they can take on because they want
to really want to do a good job.
So, I think part of that is
a leader's responsibility to manage to a point as well.

What's the one area of leadership that unnerves you? - Duration: 1:01.
So for me personally, I've always found it a little difficult
to make those really cold relationships.
So when you need to go out and make
those relationships with key stakeholders,
if I don't know them, it's an area that often makes me feel
a little uneasy because I have an inherent shyness
which probably doesn't fit with the role that I do.
But what I've absolutely learnt is that you need to build
on those sort of areas of weakness and become good at them
so that you've got those key relationships in place when you really need them.
And an example of that was when I was the incident commander for the Spring Hill riot,
one of the very senior police commanders
just came into that area just to be there and support
because I had already established
that key relationship many years beforehand.
-------------------------------------------
What advice can you give to new leaders? - Duration: 0:56.
I think there are four really key bits of advice that I would give to new leaders.
Firstly is to really understand the system in which your organisation or your team operates in.
Secondly, is to get to know your staff.
Spend that time, get to know them
because that will really determine what sort of leadership style you will take with your team.
Thirdly, it's okay not to know everything.
Okay, you've got subject matter experts, you know, specialised positions.
Use them for help and for guidance.
And lastly I think it's really important that you practice what you preach.
So, if you were talking about team work and collaboration
that you as a leader are at least showing that and living those types of values or initiatives.
