Excited to lend my experience to the National Small Business Association and advocate for small businesses to our federal delegation, particularly around the rising cost of healthcare 🏥 Stomping Ground Strategies is proud to fully cover the cost of healthcare for our employees, but most small (and large) businesses don't. We spend roughly one-third of our lives at work (and another third thinking about work 🙃 ), and that takes a toll on everyone's mental and physical wellbeing. The LEAST employers can do is pay for healthcare. But make no mistake, it's expensive and most small businesses can't afford it. Small businesses make up 43.5% of the U.S.'s GDP. We're economic drivers, and as such, we should be able to support our workforce and their health, so they in turn can keep our economy healthy & strong.

This brought skills that I am sure to use.

Why do Offsites & Inflection Moments go hand in hand? I believe it’s because not all Leadership Time is created equal. Too often as Leaders we are trappped by the relentless demands of the Second and Minute Hands. Offsites can give us the reflective space to work on the Hour Hand - the long-term Direction we set and how we can collectively navigate the Inflection Moment ahead. So as Leaders we can determine the next mountain to climb. And while deep and often intense, they can also be playful, interactive and deeply memorable experiences. I’m grateful to the Leadership Team at JKS Restaurants for allowing us to peak inside the Rooms where it all happened. The group has more Michelin Stars than any UK other restaurant group, and are poised for a very exciting new chapter of growth. It’s been wonderful to support them on their Inflection Journey, at the offsite but also well beyond. If you are facing an Inflection Moment ahead and want to take time and space as a Leadership Team to navigate it, please feel free to reach out. (Full disclosure: I don’t facilitate “jollies”.) Thanks Jyotin, Sunaina, Karam, Laura & the whole JKS team for the wonderful video. (And other Leaders I have run Offsites with). A tip: I suggest watching it with the music on!

Today I learnt an interesting fact that Leadership is not about Power, it is about Influence. As leaders positive influence is key to drive high performance teams and build future fit leaders. It eliminates fear from teams and instills drive to deliver with integrity. Such a leader encourages employees to be better leaders in their own territories, and enable them to take ownership of business strategy and be accountable for their actions without Fear. Now the below table just sumed up how an Effective Leadership should look like, Serve and Positively Influence Teams/Employees.  Right or wrong, these two inspired me to be a better leader in my own right.
