Of a weekend in the summer, Ty loves spending time with his wife and two daughters, predominantly in the water doing various water sports. During the winter Ty loves preparing his garden for the summer months whilst his wife and daughters are busy making costumes and performing in a sport called calisthenics. After being immersed in the sport indirectly for so long, Ty is still trying to understand the basics, however, enjoys seeing his wife and daughters get so much enjoyment from a high-pressure, team orientated sport.
Keep things simple: don’t overcomplicate how you do things. Whether that be language, instruction - anything. Communicate clearly and ensure your team understand and implement the goals you have for the business.
Priorities and execute: if your team tries to accomplish too many things at once, they likely won’t accomplish anything. The most impactful task or problem must be addressed first, and then you move down the list.
Decentralise leadership: create multiple leaders and encourage initiative. Don’t create an environment where they wait for someone else to make decisions. Everyone in the team must step up and lead.
Teamwork: it's at the root of everything we do, and it’s the highest priority in leadership - 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts'. Ensure you're communicating the importance and living it.
