Jo’s Key Takeaways:

As a leader, it’s OK to slow down to speed up. To do less and instead do things that are bigger and better quality rather than quantity.

A great way to engage and retain talent during uncertainty is to allow them to grow their own career pathway. Forget thinking in terms of your team’s progression and promotion and instead, focus on possibilities.

Help new leaders achieve success by giving them time. The first 60 days can be a golden opportunity to talk to people, attend meetings and absorb the culture.

Avoid burnout by understanding the 5 different energy drivers for your team. Look for cues and clues to spot when they/you need support: physical, mental, social, spiritual & emotional.

Invest at the top for success and work with a business mentor! Too often the needs and wants of senior leaders is put to the bottom of the pile. Having Sally's support has enabled me to develop in my own time and space and given me permission to be vulnerable. She challenges me when others don't.
