The Hack, hosted by Leon, Paul and Dean are back, and this time, their focus is leadership. The hosts delve into the ‘5 gears action plan’ and the benefits of challenges. For any entrepreneurs, this is a podcast you don’t want to miss out on. 

 

The group begin by recapping their last episode, which focused on the 5 gear action plan, which is the different gears you need to be in at different times of the day to succeed, which include: 

 

Gear 1: The recharge: when you need it, take time off to recharge and recover from a stressful time. 

 

Gear 2: Connect mode: get connected again with the people who matter the most to you, like your family and friends. 

 

Gear 3: Social mode: being present with people, such as your workforce. 

 

Gear 4: Task mode: focus on the processes and tasks you need to complete, and multitask when necessary. 

 

Gear 5: Focused mode: get fully centred on the task at hand so that you can succeed. 

 

By mapping out your daily routine into these different gears, you can designate the right amount of time to each, which Leon, Paul and Jo all say has improved their productivity. 

 

The Hack hosts further go on to talk about the importance of challenging others when you are a leader. What challenges do your employees need in order to improve and succeed the most? What support can you give them? How can you further challenge your own work to find ways of improving at every turn? 

 

Challenging ourselves and others can help us to develop, innovate and grow successfully, but we also need to take the time to appreciate each other's hard work and understand how all of us support each other. 

 

Whether you are looking for ways to support your staff more at the office, learn how to manage your time and get more productive, or just want to hear expert advice on technology from business professionals, make sure that you catch up with The Hack podcast today to learn more. 

Leadership is about finding out what is your best use and then working together with your team. Supporting and challenging each other.
