Rob discusses the concept of leaders who are also great coaches, drawing inspiration from an article by Bill George and Zach Clayton in the Harvard Business Review. Rob highlights the importance of care, organisation, alignment, challenge, and help in effective leadership.

He also talks about the fact that a leader's title may make them a manager, but it is their ability to inspire and lead their team that truly makes them a leader. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Leadership is not solely determined by one's title, but by the perception of those being led. Being a leader means gaining the trust and respect of your team.
• The acronym COACH (Care, Organise, Align, Challenge, Help) highlights key qualities and actions of successful leaders who also act as coaches.
• Care is essential in building relationships and trust with your team. Genuine care for your team members will lead to better communication and collaboration.
• Organise involves placing individuals in roles that align with their strengths and skills. Effective leaders understand how to assemble a team that complements each other's abilities.

BEST MOMENTS

"Your title makes you a manager, but your people make you a leader." 

"People don't care what you know until they know how much you care." 

"Your job is to organise and put people, as the Harvard Business Review says, in their sweet spot." 

"Your job is to explain, show, demonstrate, and bring to life the vision that everybody will die for."
