[01:13] – Can you give a brief overview of your book, “Grace Under Pressure?” What inspired you to write it?
- I believe in grace as a healing power for us.
- It is a catalyst for the greater good.
- The book is about how leaders keep it together when times are stressful.
- There are three things that leaders do. The first is taking care of their people.
- The second is taking care of themselves and the third is building for the future.
- The twist is that you have to do all of this with a sense of grace.
- It means to showcase courage, commitment, compassion, making people feel welcome, embracing new and different ideas, bringing people together and building a sense of community.
[03:19] – Why do you think “Grace” is such an important quality?
- It is counter-intuitive to the way management is run. Management is about administration and getting things on time which is absolutely critical to every organisation.
- When we work for organisations which are poorly managed, nothing gets done.
- Grace is about looking beyond, about looking at individuals as contributors. It is that leveller and we take it down a level in stressful times.
- Even when we’re not in a crisis, we’re always going through periods of change and as changes are disruptive, it’s up to the leader to point the way but do it in a way that brings people along.
