What I’m hearing from leaders","description":"<p>Are standards at work really falling, or are we fighting the wrong battles?</p><p><br></p><p>After ten days on the road with leadership teams across the UK, one theme came up more than any other: leaders frustrated by slipping standards. Cameras off on virtual calls, punctuality, dress code, what’s reasonable in a hybrid working model. Some of the examples are hard to believe.</p><p><br></p><p>The frustration is real and it’s legitimate, but the conversation is starting to split along generational lines, with older leaders on one side and younger staff on the other. That split doesn’t help anyone.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode I share three questions that help leaders separate what matters from what doesn’t. They also help you hold high standards across your whole team, whatever their age or experience.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>KEY TAKEAWAYS</strong></p><ul><li>Not everything you’re frustrated by is a standard. .</li><li>“Because I said so” isn’t leadership. </li><li>A good explanation changes behaviour faster than enforcement does.</li><li>You can’t enforce a standard you don’t live.</li><li>Falling standards aren’t a generational problem.</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Accelerate your growth and development with The Lonely Leader Academy </strong></p><p>If you want to work through some of these areas in more depth, to accelerate your learning and access tools, tactics and tips to drive performance and enhance fulfilment then check out The Lonely Leader Academy.</p><p><br></p><p>The Lonely Leader Academy: <a href=\"https://tll.academy/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://tll.academy</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>ENJOYED THE EPISODE?</strong></p><p><br></p><p>James works with senior leaders, CEOs, and founders who want to perform at the highest level without losing what matters most in the process.
