this is the best business network out there. allways prepared to go the extra mile to help business succeed

Why should you consider meeting regularly with your competitors? 🤝 In my experience as a real estate broker , I've found immense value in establishing regular meetings with some of my fellow realtors who have become close friends. These individuals, whom I once considered competitors, have now become trusted mentors 🤩 Building relationships in business is often underestimated. The way we treat people, especially those we encounter daily in our transactions, plays a huge role in our success. By having genuine connections with our competitors, we create a supportive network where we can motivate, inspire, encourage, and assist one another. I encourage you to embrace the power of building genuine relationships with your competitors. 👉 You'll be pleasantly surprised by the benefits it brings to your professional growth and success. 📈 As Benjamin Franklin once said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.” Collaboration and camaraderie can lead to greater heights of success for everyone involved. 📤💼 Go get ‘em! 💪

Roberto De Zerbi invites players to his home to build better relationships. Because he believes in relationships more than tactics. In his own words: ‘if you know better the people that work with you, you can find a better relationship’. This is a universal truth for all workplaces. In sport it’s something that’s not developed enough, possibly because teams spend so much time together in the workplace. Actions like this aren’t without their drawbacks however. Having experienced being part of a club staff with an incoming coaching staff, it can feel very isolating. There can be a split between the in-group and the out-group. This can even involve a difference in mother tongue. Inviting players to your house without nurturing the relationships of staff at the club can lead to division. I don’t know how attention De Zerbi pays to these relationships, but it’s often an oversight. Creating synergy between everyone at a club is essential for success. The incoming head coach often has little time and is under so much pressure for quick wins. It’s perhaps the responsibility of the club to work on culture. And sadly, this is often overlooked. What’s your experience of different groups at work and how have you created bonds across diversity? The jigsaw classroom was one of the first studies highlighting a successful technique for integrating different groups well. This is why Colin Ellis and I help sporting organisations work on culture. It’s often the missing piece in the journey to success.

Lacking that technical knowledge, they are deemed incapable of performing as team lead, so trust is denied.

Great article Glenn. What great framing you've done here on the benefits of redefining success and the need to make room for the relationships that strengthen you as a leader.

𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 People are at the core of every business. We can fool ourselves into believing that we must sacrifice our closest relationships for the sake of the organization. The irony is we’ll fail our companies if we don’t take care of our most significant connections. And if we don’t take care of those connections, failure at work will challenge our very identity. Knowing who we are outside of work, in the context of our closest relationships, will help us weather any storm. Conversely, if we become siloed and isolated in our position when storms come—and they will—we will be at the mercy of circumstances. We all need to belong. If we’ve sacrificed belonging to further ourselves as business leaders, we’ll be of limited value to those we lead.

As you journey in your earthly sojourn you'll meet all kinds of people, broken, privileged, gifted, down trodden, etc Always remember that you need strategic alliances to fulfill purpose. You can't go on this journey alone, so learn to coordinate relationships; 1) Above the Line - Mentors and Leaders 2) On the Line - Friends and Contemporaries 3) Below the Line - Staff, subordinates and people who look up to you. If you have to, change your circle! You can buy a persons' hand but you can't buy his heart, that's where his enthusiasm and loyalty is. You can buy a person's back but you can't buy his brain, that's where his creativity, ingenuity and resourcefulness is. Take time to connect with people on truly deeper levels. People who do great things understand the power of relationships. As we have a network of roads through which we transport products into every corner of a nation, relationships are the invisible road networks upon which things move. -Zedek.

A quick note from football before the UK media elevates or tears down the England team after tonights match. Just the other day, I was watching an interview with the young football prodigy, Declan Rice. The question came up - what's not working (England didn't do well last Thursday in case you missed it). Amidst persistent criticism, Declan showed an understanding that belied his youth. Yes, there are better days and worse days, but that doesn't mean it's not working. It made me reflect on transformation. Be it personal or organisational, it's not an upward linear graph. It's more like a rollercoaster, with highs and lows. But that doesn't mean it's not working. Even amidst the turbulence, each step, every stumble, is a cornerstone of your transformation. So if you're amidst a transformation, hang tight. There'll be ebbs and flows. The magic lies in persisting. Find the joy, seek the joy, but tough days (patches) is part of the package Just as life's only constant is change, so is its transformative nature. So embrace transformations. And just like Rice on the pitch, with each step, you'll keep getting better.

I often hear that leaders are waiting for self-belief to show up before they start living their best lives. They are allowing themselves to be consumed by their business because in their mind they 'have to put in the hard yards now...' The classic excuse of “I'll start doing it when......” When I have more time, when I have more money, when I have less fear... This is because they don’t believe they can handle it right now. The truth is that it is you will never have ‘enough confidence’ and you will never have ‘enough certainty’. In the Western world, we have so much safety and certainty. If you are not getting results in your life and business and you tell yourself that you can’t make money because (insert excuse here) then there are a bunch of people in 3rd world countries that would be laughing at you right now. If someone held a gun to your head and said, ‘You must take action on your dreams now,’ you would do it. It is a bunch of Western wank that we are waiting to ‘feel good about it’. You would find a way. And that way exists in you right now. To be a legend doesn't take confidence. It takes action.
