**Are your strengths and values used effectively in your current organisation and or role❓**

“Great leaders create environments that help others to identify their strengths and values to bring their best selves to everything they do” -Andrew Codd #SITN.

As a finance leader, we can only have a limited impact on our own. Andrew used an African proverb “When we go alone, we go fast. When we go together, we go far” to describe how we can achieve greater outcomes.

Some of the highlights and key messages from the interview with Andrew Codd in the series " #GlobalLeadershipHypothesis – what makes a great leader?" are:

❇️Great vision + great purpose = great results

❇️Regular team engagement = ideal outcomes

❇️Close value gaps for your stakeholders and teams = people want to associate with you

❇️The affliction of finance – focus on results as opposed to asking the right questions

❇️ Not needing to know everything

❇️Learning to ask for help sooner

❇️ Pushing yourself outside your comfort zone

❇️Leading diverse teams = advantages for leader & individuals

❇️Learning from failure

❇️Disconnect yourself from your role

Do you separate your role from who you are❓
