  • IF YOU LEAD A TEAM OR ORGANIZATION, CHANCES ARE YOU’RE HITTING THE “CEILING OF COMPLEXITY” AS DAILY OPERATIONAL DEMANDS SUCK ALL YOUR TIME, LEAVING NO SPACE FOR STRATEGIC THINKING AND WORKING ON “NEEDLE-MOVING” INITIATIVES. Peter Clayton’s guest for this Career Strategy episode on The TotalPicture Media Podcast is Richard Medcalf, founder of Xquadrant and an executive coach to some of the world’s most impressive and successful CEOs and their teams. Richard shares four key insights that help his clients make real transformational progress in this area and become champions of transformational change. Introduction A common theme amongst CEOs, C-Suite leaders, and my other top performing clients: too much time in operations and not enough on strategic projects.

Shift 1: Stop trying to free up time Message: When you focus on higher-value tasks, everything becomes easier Story: “instant delegation mastery” Tool: last year/next year Shift 2: Examine your beliefs first Message: You don’t need a productivity hack, you need a mindset shift Story: “the high-performing janitor” Tool: what do I get out of this? Shift 3: Acceleration, not speed Message: You need to implement a system for getting better at getting better Story: “$100 hammer” Tool: opex vs capex Shift 4: Work the room Message: You can’t level-up without renegotiating your agreements Story: “the perfectly responsive CXO” Tool: agreement/expectation Resources: Free guide: “The Executive’s Productivity Paradigm: 4 uncommon insights to free yourself up from low value tasks and be more strategic” https://xquadrant.com/go/productivity Impact Multiplier CEO Podcast https://xquadrant.com/podcast/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardmedcalf/
