In this week’s pod, we were joined by Richard Medcalf to discuss making time for strategy.
Richard Medcalf describes himself as "what you get if you were to put a McKinsey consultant, a slightly unorthodox pastor and an entrepreneur into a blender".
He is the founder of Xquadrant and a trusted advisor to exceptional CEOs and entrepreneurs, and their leadership teams.The main topics we discussed on the podcast were as follows:
- Find your rocket fuel! Having a sense of purpose will help to drive you during your career
- Make investments to create a better future
- We live in a world of infinity – emails / books / communications. Try to beat with productivity
- Think about TIME:
- Tactics
- Influence
- Mindset
- Environment
- Check your personal values and mindset. What do you do that creates value for your stakeholders?
- Aim to create “strategic time”. Start with achievable and small blocks and see the benefit of the ability to focus on a particular project
