How to Establish Yourself as a LEADER with Rohan Dredge

Geronimo Unfiltered

“When you take on the responsibility of leadership, you’re not taking on additional responsibilities. You are changing your career.”

Joining me on today’s episode is the incredible Rohan Dredge: the CEO of Pragmatic Thinking, a behaviour and motivation strategy company who has worked with the likes of Qantas, Toyota, Suncorp and Geronimo.

Rohan’s first episode ‘How to be a Leader People Actually Want to Follow’ is one of our MOST listened-to episodes. When we were down in the Gold Coast we knew we HAD to get him back on the poddy to continue to level up our leaders.

When we go into the health and fitness industry, we all have one goal: to help people get fitter, stronger and lead happier lives. But as your business grows, your role shifts from directly helping members to leading and managing teams.

And it’s not a change most of us are prepared for.

Join me as I ask Rohan all of your most commonly asked leadership questions including:

• 01:26 - What are the qualities of a highly effective leader?
• 03:23 - What are some of the operating systems that create a highly effective leader?
• 06:35 - How can you make confident decisions as a leader?
• 08:45 - How can you become a leader who responds rather than reacts?
• 18:48 - The right way to give performance reviews and give staff feedback EVEN if it’s hard
• 26:29 - What do you do when your team has a poor culture?
• 32:56 - If you don’t like confrontation… How do you enforce changes that will upset your staff?
• 35:33 - What if you're afraid to push a team member for fear they might leave?
• 38:16 - How to empower your team without micromanaging them
• 43:20 - The Controversial Question… Can anyone be a good leader?

… and a whole lot more
