The Language Of Winning Mini Series (3/5) - Paul D. Lowe & Pete Lowe

Paul is joined by returning guest Peter Lowe for the third in a mini-series based around Peter’s book, ‘The Language of Winning’. This episode looks at Chapters 4 – You Are The Leader, and 5 – Dangers Of The Emotional Tree.

This conversation covers topics from leaders understanding every member of their team and recognising their individual strengths which can strengthen the whole team, to keeping your emotions in check when things go wrong so you don’t spiral into negative thinking.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Successful leaders are people who have developed their own skills, there are also leaders who already have the skills but have built on them and they bring their character and personality come to the fore.
You’ve got to know your people inside out and have a curiosity about who they are and what they need. The weakest person today could be leading the pack tomorrow, don’t overlook anyone.
In my football career we were all at our worst when we were at our emotional highest, when we experienced results in that business/game that were negative there comes a stage where our emotions take over, which generates negative responses.
The challenge of a leader is whether they like it or not they must be all things to all people, that’s the seat they sit in and if they’re not prepared to accept what that means before they sit in that seat they shouldn’t take that seat because they’ll be letting their people down before they start.

BEST MOMENTS

‘You’re only ever as good as your weakest cog.’

‘Leaders don’t create followers, they create leaders.’

‘There’s formal leadership and informal leadership, I’m cool with having informal leaders.’

‘Once your emotional control is gone your effectiveness is zero.’
